]]> 5486 What If Trauma Isn’t Just Mental—But Physical? Expert Presents A Controversial Treatment That Could Change The Way We Heal From PTSD, Severe Anxiety and Depression, Sexual Abuse, and More with Dr. Eugene Lipov This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Our Place, and AquaTru. What if trauma isn’t just something you feel but something physically happening inside your body? This episode challenges everything we’ve been told about PTSD and reveals a new way of thinking about healing. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Eugene Lipov to unpack a bold new perspective on trauma and why it may not be a mental health disorder, but a physical injury to the nervous system. Dr. Lipov explains what’s really happening in the body during PTSD, the hidden role of the sympathetic nervous system, and how trauma can quietly impact everything from aging and chronic disease to relationships and daily energy. He shares the unexpected discovery behind the Stellate Ganglion Block, often called the “God Shot,” and walks through how this procedure may rapidly reset the body’s stress response. Along the way, he dives into his personal story, the growing interest and skepticism around this approach, and what the latest research is beginning to reveal.  Dr. Eugene Lipov is one of the world’s leading experts in treating symptoms related to post-traumatic stress and a pioneer in the use of Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for PTSD. Shaped by a deeply personal history, growing up with a father suffering from PTSD and a mother who battled severe depression and ultimately took her own life, Dr. Lipov has dedicated his career to helping others heal from trauma and restore hope. In 2006, he introduced the use of SGB as a treatment for PTSD. The technique involves an injection of medication into a bundle of nerves in the neck and has been widely used for pain relief, hot flashes, and shingles, and is now emerging as a promising approach to alleviating symptoms of trauma. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Lipov dive into: (0:00) Introduction (2:08) The Idea That Could Change Trauma Treatment Forever (4:05) What’s Really Happening Inside The Body During PTSD (8:35) The Hidden Nerve System Driving Your Stress (11:02) The Unexpected Discovery That Started It All (22:21) Could This Work For You (35:22) Why It’s An Injury And Not A Disorder (39:05) Why The Current System Might Be Getting This Wrong (45:57) What Actually Happens When This “Switch” Gets Flipped (58:29) Why Trauma Might Be Aging You Faster Than You Think (1:18:52) What The Latest Research Is Starting To Reveal (1:25:23) Why People Call This The “God Shot” (1:35:26) What More Doctors Are Starting To Notice (1:42:02) The Risks You Need To Know Before Considering This (2:00:06) What Dr. Lipov Changed His Mind About (2:09:22) The One Thing He Wants Everyone To Understand Also mentioned in this episode: Brain on Fire: Doomscrolling, the Hidden Biology of Digital Life, and the Fight for Attention; The Science of Reclaiming Mental Health It’s PTSI site  Publications mentioned by Dr. Lipov TEDx: PTSD to PTSI, An alternative perspective Dr. Eugene Lipov Stellate Ganglion Block for the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial Department of Veterans Affairs Position on Effectiveness of Stelate Ganglion Block  What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond with Dr. Bruce Greyson Anita Moorjani on Her Top Lessons Learned from Her Near-Death Experience For more on Dr. Lipov, follow him on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Spotify, or visit his Website.

]]> 6347 The Eye-Brain Connection: How Vision Impacts Cognition, Focus & Long-Term Brain Health with Dr. Bryce Appelbaum This episode is brought to you by Our Place, Bon Charge, Cozy Earth, and Maui Nui. We tend to think of vision as an eye issue. But it’s really a brain issue. Nearly half the brain is involved in processing visual information, which means the way we use our eyes can shape our focus, energy, and cognitive performance more than most people realize. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with neuro-optometrist Dr. Bryce Appelbaum to explore why our vision is about far more than eyesight, and how the way we use our eyes every day can profoundly shape brain function, focus, and overall well-being. Dr. Appelbaum explains how modern habits, especially constant screen exposure, are quietly straining our visual system and nervous system. He shares practical strategies to reduce daily eye stress, exercises that can strengthen your visual system and improve attention, and the role of peripheral awareness, movement, and sports in training the eye-brain connection. Dr. Appelbaum also debunks common myths about dyslexia and reading challenges, discusses blue light and screen overload, and breaks down his approach to building visual resilience in a digital world.  Dr. Bryce Appelbaum is a neuro-optometrist and the founder and CEO of MyVisionFirst, a leading practice specializing in functional vision care for all ages. He is known for his work optimizing the eye-brain connection through Vision Performance Training, helping patients recover from concussion-related vision issues, improve visual performance, and build resilience in today’s screen-heavy world.

]]> 6410 Your Brain Doesn’t Want You to Slow Down: The Real Keys to Lifelong Cognitive Strength with Dr. Tommy Wood This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, BiOptimizers,  Maui Nui, and One Skin.  We’ve been told that cognitive decline is just a normal part of aging. But what if the real story has less to do with age and more to do with how we’re living? Your brain is constantly adapting to the signals you give it, and those signals may matter far more than you think. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with neuroscientist and performance expert Dr. Tommy Wood to challenge the idea that cognitive decline is inevitable and reveal how our modern lifestyle may be quietly reshaping our brain health. Dr. Wood explains why dementia risk is often a mismatch problem, breaks down the Movement Funnel and the three types of exercise that stimulate different brain networks, and shares his “3 S’s” framework for building long-term resilience. He also unpacks the science behind high-intensity training, purpose and social connection, brain training, stress, creatine, and what truly separates superagers from everyone else. Dr. Tommy Wood is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Neuroscience at the University of Washington, where his research focuses on brain health across the lifespan, from newborn brain injury to adult traumatic brain injury and long-term cognitive decline. He earned an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from the University of Cambridge, a medical degree from the University of Oxford, and a PhD in Physiology and Neuroscience from the University of Oslo. He has consulted with elite athletes, including multiple Formula 1 drivers, and serves as Director and Treasurer of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine and as Head of Research for the dementia-prevention charity Food for the Brain. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Wood dive into: (0:00) Intro (2:03) Cognitive decline isn’t a brain issue; it’s a lifestyle mismatch (10:18) The overlooked force that could matter more than any supplement. (15:00) How modern life quietly reshaped our thinking about aging and mortality (18:37) The evolutionary truth your body and brain still expect from you (30:29) The landmark study that changed how scientists view dementia risk (41:06) Why pushing your limits might sharpen your mind faster (44:00) The framework that explains why your workouts may not be enough (50:57) What early childhood movement reveals about lifelong brain resilience (57:30) The three simple levers that could shift your brain’s trajectory (1:18:06) Why brain games are not the full answer to cognitive longevity (1:28:22) How purpose-driven communities seem to outperform biology (1:35:57) The counterintuitive way to think about stress and long-term health (1:41:28) The surprising compound that fuels both muscle and mind (1:46:50) What truly separates superagers from everyone else (1:53:03) The mindset shift that ties everything together Also mentioned in this episode: The Stimulated Mind Brain HQ Creative Experiences and Brain Clocks Study For more on Dr. Wood, follow him on X/Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple Podcasts, or visit his Website.

]]> 3997 A Doctor’s Argument For Why Most Diet’s Fail: The Hidden Hormone Problem Driving Weight Gain and What To Do About It with Dr. Jason Fung This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, LMNT, Maui Nui, and One Skin. When we think about weight loss, it’s usually framed as a matter of willpower. Eat less. Move more. Try harder. But this episode explores an alternative perspective. Dr. Jason Fung argues that obesity isn’t simply about calories, but about hunger, hormones, and what he describes as a biological “fat thermostat” that may be working against you. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Jason Fung to unpack his framework for understanding weight gain and fat loss. Dr. Fung explains why he believes calorie restriction often fails, the three types of hunger he describes, and how what he calls “over-hunger” may drive weight gain more than overeating alone. He also breaks down his concept of the “fat thermostat,” metabolic compensation, and what he believes we can learn from other cultures about food environments. He shares his views on GLP-1 drugs, protein needs, and the three “golden rules” he recommends for resetting hunger naturally. Dr. Jason Fung is a Nephrologist, researcher, and bestselling author known for reshaping the conversation around obesity, diabetes, and fasting. His books, The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, and The Complete Guide to Fasting, have sold over 1 million copies worldwide and have challenged conventional treatment approaches for type 2 diabetes. He is also the author of The Cancer Code and cofounder of The Fasting Method, a program that helps people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes through evidence-based fasting. His work has been featured in CNN, Time, The Atlantic, and Forbes. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Fung dive into: (0:00) Intro (00:37) The Real Problem Isn’t Overeating. It’s Over-Hunger (5:26) The 3 Types of Hunger (And Which One Is Controlling You) (13:08) Are Some Calories Actually More Fattening Than Others? (17:07) The “Fat Thermostat” That’s Secretly Defending Your Weight (33:51) How Ultra-Processed Foods Hijack Your Hormones (41:46) The “Healthy” Ultra-Processed Foods Hiding in Plain Sight (45:10) What Other Countries Get Right About Food (That We Don’t) (52:00) Who Told Us We Needed to Snack Every 3 Hours? (55:50) Are You Eating Enough Protein?  (1:03:23) GLP-1s: Breakthrough Tool or Temporary Fix? (1:12:34) The 3 Golden Rules That Actually Reset Hunger (1:19:45) Can You Overeat “Healthy” Food?  (1:21:45) Why Mindless Eating Is More Powerful Than You Think (1:29:35) The Hidden Habits That Keep You Hungry (1:37:12) Health Markers That Reveal Your Metabolism Is Struggling (1:45:10) Where to Go Deeper with Dr. Jason Fung Also mentioned in this episode: The Hunger Code: Resetting Your Body's Fat Thermostat in the Age of Ultra-Processed Food Dr. Jason Fung Masterclass  The Biggest Ozempic Mistakes: What to Do After GLP-1 Drugs to Keep the Weight Off for Good with Dr. Holly Wyatt and Dr. James Hill For more on Dr. Fung, follow him on Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, or visit his Website.

When we think about weight loss, it’s usually framed as a matter of willpower. Eat less. Move more. Try harder. But this episode explores an alternative perspective. Dr. Jason Fung argues that obesity isn’t simply about calories, but about hunger, hormones, and what he describes as a biological “fat thermostat” that may be working against you.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Jason Fung to unpack his framework for understanding weight gain and fat loss. Dr. Fung explains why he believes calorie restriction often fails, the three types of hunger he describes, and how what he calls “over-hunger” may drive weight gain more than overeating alone. He also breaks down his concept of the “fat thermostat,” metabolic compensation, and what he believes we can learn from other cultures about food environments. He shares his views on GLP-1 drugs, protein needs, and the three “golden rules” he recommends for resetting hunger naturally.


Dr. Jason Fung is a Nephrologist, researcher, and bestselling author known for reshaping the conversation around obesity, diabetes, and fasting. His books, The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, and The Complete Guide to Fasting, have sold over 1 million copies worldwide and have challenged conventional treatment approaches for type 2 diabetes. He is also the author of The Cancer Code and cofounder of The Fasting Method, a program that helps people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes through evidence-based fasting. His work has been featured in CNN, Time, The Atlantic, and Forbes.


In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Fung dive into:

(0:00) Intro

(00:37) The Real Problem Isn’t Overeating. It’s Over-Hunger

(5:26) The 3 Types of Hunger (And Which One Is Controlling You)

(13:08) Are Some Calories Actually More Fattening Than Others?

(17:07) The “Fat Thermostat” That’s Secretly Defending Your Weight

(33:51) How Ultra-Processed Foods Hijack Your Hormones

(41:46) The “Healthy” Ultra-Processed Foods Hiding in Plain Sight

(45:10) What Other Countries Get Right About Food (That We Don’t)

(52:00) Who Told Us We Needed to Snack Every 3 Hours?

(55:50) Are You Eating Enough Protein? 

(1:03:23) GLP-1s: Breakthrough Tool or Temporary Fix?

(1:12:34) The 3 Golden Rules That Actually Reset Hunger

(1:19:45) Can You Overeat “Healthy” Food? 

(1:21:45) Why Mindless Eating Is More Powerful Than You Think

(1:29:35) The Hidden Habits That Keep You Hungry

(1:37:12) Health Markers That Reveal Your Metabolism Is Struggling

(1:45:10) Where to Go Deeper with Dr. Jason Fung

But this episode challenges that narrative, revealing that brain health is far more dynamic, responsive, and within our control than we’ve been led to believe. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Majid Fotuhi to unpack what it really takes to protect, strengthen, and even improve your brain as you age. Dr. Fotuhi explains why cognitive decline exists on a spectrum, how lifestyle choices can slow or prevent it, and what the latest research says about reversing early Alzheimer’s. He shares powerful patient stories, breaks down the surprising link between hearing loss and memory issues, and outlines his Five Pillars of Brain Health. Dr. Fotuhi also dives into Tau PET scans, cutting-edge brain training strategies, and why taking action now may be the single most important decision you make for your future cognitive health. Dr. Majid Fotuhi is a neurologist specializing in memory, concussion, and successful aging. With over 30 years of teaching, clinical practice, and neuroscience research at Harvard Medical School and Johns Hopkins, he has developed a multidisciplinary program to help people of all ages improve memory and attention.

]]> 6657 The Cancer & Dementia Link Nobody Warned You About and How to Reset Your Circadian Clock to Lower Your Disease Risk with Dr. Satchin Panda This episode is brought to you by Puori, Cozy Earth, Fatty15, and Birch Living. Circadian rhythm is one of the most overlooked drivers of long-term health. It influences when we sleep, how we metabolize food, how our brain repairs itself, and even how our immune system functions. When this internal clock falls out of sync, the effects ripple through every system in the body. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with circadian biology expert Dr. Satchin Panda to explore the four pillars of circadian health and how losing alignment can contribute to cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Panda shares key strategies to reduce your risk and breaks down the science behind why protecting your master clock is critical for preventing chronic disease. He also explains the importance of time-restricted eating, how timing influences the effectiveness of medications and cancer immunotherapy, and the role exercise plays in detoxification.  Dr. Satchin Panda is a world-renowned pioneer in circadian biology and a Professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, where he holds the Rita and Richard Atkinson Chair. Recently named a semifinalist in the XPRIZE Healthspan competition, Dr. Panda leads "Team Circadian" in groundbreaking research to reverse biological aging through rhythmic optimization. His discovery of the blue-light sensitive protein melanopsin and his extensive research on time-restricted eating have reshaped global health guidelines, leading to featured presentations at premier international forums including the American Diabetes Association and the professional diabetes societies of Europe and Australia. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Panda dive into: (0:00) Intro (00:59) The Circadian–Alzheimer’s Connection (3:00) Why Light Controls Your Health (26:36) Sleep as Brain Defense  (34:01) Inside Your Master Clock  (38:17) Why Meal Timing Matters  (49:33) Time-Restricted Eating Explained  (57:12) Timing Your Medications  (1:01:27) Circadian Biology & Cancer Treatment  (1:09:25) Exercise as Cancer Insurance  (1:16:01) What Exercise Does at the Cellular Level  (1:26:23) Minimum Effective Dose of Movement  (1:57:47) The Circadian Challenge  (2:06:21) Circadian Rhythm as Your Operating System  (2:11:20) Final Takeaways  Also mentioned in this episode: OnTime Health App  Human Performance Alliance  For more on Dr. Satchin Panda, follow him on X/Twitter, Instagram, Ontime Health’s Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, or visit his Website.

When we think about fitness and health, walking is often seen as “too easy” to matter. But this episode challenges that assumption, revealing how walking with weight taps into a deeply human ability that builds strength, resilience, and long-term health in ways most modern workouts miss.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Michael Easter to explore walking with weight, a forgotten human practice that quietly shaped our bodies, minds, and resilience, and what happens when modern life removes it. Michael traces the evolutionary roots of carrying and movement, explains why many popular fitness approaches fall short, and reveals how this deceptively simple practice can transform strength, endurance, metabolic health, and mental clarity. Michael challenges our obsession with comfort, unpacks the science behind walking with weight, and shares practical insights on how small, intentional discomfort can help us live stronger, more capable, and more resilient lives in a hyper-convenient world.


Michael Easter is a New York Times bestselling author who travels the world uncovering practical, science-backed ideas for living healthier, happier, and more remarkable lives. His reporting has taken him from war zones to the Arctic to the Bolivian jungle, where he’s interviewed thousands of experts, from Nobel laureates to elite athletes, and analyzed cutting-edge research. He shares these insights through his bestselling books The Comfort Crisis and Scarcity Brain, as well as his newsletter Two Percent. His work is used by professional sports teams, Fortune 500 companies, and elite military units, and has helped millions rethink health, performance, and modern life.


In this episode, Dhru and Michael dive into: 

(0:00) Intro (00:37) Why humans were designed to walk and what we’ve forgotten

]]> 4576 Menopause Isn’t a Breakdown. It’s a Brain Upgrade: The Science of Midlife Power with Dr. Mindy Pelz This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge, Momentous, Cozy Earth, and Our Place. When we think about aging, menopause is often framed as something to endure or “get through.” But this episode challenges that narrative, revealing menopause as a powerful biological and neurological transition that can unlock greater clarity, resilience, and purpose.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to reframe menopause as a powerful biological, psychological, and cultural initiation, not a decline. Dr. Pelz traces the mythology and history that shaped how we view menopause, explains what modern science gets right (and wrong), and unpacks why intense emotions, brain changes, and identity shifts are not signs of dysfunction but signals of transformation. She also dives into practical guidance around nutrition, glucose balance, hormones, genetics, and daily habits that support women in this stage of life, while offering insight into how men can better support the women they love.    Dr. Mindy Pelz is a New York Times bestselling author, visionary educator, and trailblazer in women’s health and hormone science with over two decades of experience building a global movement that helps women understand and harness the power of their bodies at every stage of life. Her new book Age Like a Girl blends cutting-edge science with personal insight to show how fasting, nutrition, and lifestyle shifts can balance hormones, boost energy, and turn midlife’s neurochemical changes into a launchpad for purpose and reinvention. With a Doctorate of Chiropractic and a background in functional nutrition, she brings both rigor and heart to her work championing a bold message: aging isn’t a decline; it’s an evolution, and now is the time for women to get stronger, clearer, and more connected to who they truly are. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Mindy dive into: (0:00) Intro (1:04) The ancient meaning of menopause and how we lost it (3:08) The forgotten roadmap of a woman’s life (6:42) How menopause became medicalized and what we lost along the way (12:28) What today’s menopause conversation gets wrong (19:19) Why emotional intensity is a message, not a malfunction (31:17) The nervous-system breaking point that changed everything for Dr. Mindy (40:07) Why the world needs elder women more than ever (45:57) The truths women must know about this stage of life (51:02) Why menopause requires a totally different way of eating (55:39) The simple daily rituals guiding Dr. Mindy’s current season (59:51) The genetic signals most women never hear about (1:10:01) Why doing less might be the ultimate health upgrade (1:23:08) How men can better understand and support the women they love (1:39:29) Rewriting menopause for the next generation Also mentioned in this episode: Age Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy Pelz’s new book  Chris Kresser Article on HbA1C Dr. Ben Bikman’s Concerns About HbA1C For more on Dr. Mindy, follow her on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, LinkedIn, or her Website.

]]> 6294 7 Psychological Traps That Are Keeping You Stuck and How to Get Out of Fear and Start Living Your Dreams with Dr. Diana Hill This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge, BiOptimizers, Our Place, and Cozy Earth. True progress often isn’t blocked by a lack of effort, but by hidden traps in how we think, strive, and apply our energy. Many of us push harder, stay busier, and demand more from ourselves, only to feel burned out, stuck, or misaligned. Working harder isn’t always the answer, and today’s guest shows us why. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with psychologist Dr. Diana Hill to explore how the way we use our energy, not just how hard we try, shapes our health, relationships, and sense of purpose. Dr. Hill unpacks why so many high-achievers feel burned out, stuck, or quietly dissatisfied despite doing “all the right things,” and reveals the hidden traps that keep us spinning our wheels, from misusing our strengths to chasing goals that don’t align with our values. She also introduces the idea of wise effort versus forcing change through pressure and self-criticism. This conversation offers a powerful reframe for anyone who feels overextended or misdirected, showing how psychological flexibility and values-based choices can restore vitality, clarity, and a deeper sense of alignment in everyday life. Dr. Diana Hill is a psychologist and international trainer specializing in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She helps individuals and organizations build psychological flexibility using science-backed, compassion-driven tools. Diana is the author of four books, including Wise Effort, hosts the Wise Effort podcast, and has been featured in NPR, The Wall Street Journal, Psychology Today, and more—known for making complex psychology practical, clear, and deeply usable. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Hill dive into:  (0:00) Intro (1:37) When effort turns against you and pushing harder makes things worse (3:47) The quiet reason resolutions fail and what your intuition already knows (10:55) The hidden story we were taught about growth and why it’s misleading (19:02) How your energy gets drained without you ever noticing (25:46) The perspective shift that changes how you meet challenges and yourself (30:52) Dr. Hill’s wake-up moment and the unseen cost of trying too hard (43:30) Why reaching the goal still leaves something missing (48:07) What avoiding discomfort is actually costing you (58:46) Discovering your “genius energy” and what it’s meant for (1:17:16) The self-limiting stories that feel true but quietly hold you back (1:25:40) The subtle trap of chasing goals instead of living your values (1:28:17) Dr. Hill’s closing insight on trusting your inner compass Also mentioned in this episode: Wise Effort: How to Focus Your Genius Energy on What Matters Most For more on Dr. Hill, follow her on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Insight Timer, or visit her Website.

Many of us push harder, stay busier, and demand more from ourselves, only to feel burned out, stuck, or misaligned. Working harder isn’t always the answer, and today’s guest shows us why. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with psychologist Dr. Diana Hill to explore how the way we use our energy, not just how hard we try, shapes our health, relationships, and sense of purpose. Dr. Hill unpacks why so many high-achievers feel burned out, stuck, or quietly dissatisfied despite doing “all the right things,” and reveals the hidden traps that keep us spinning our wheels, from misusing our strengths to chasing goals that don’t align with our values. She also introduces the idea of wise effort versus forcing change through pressure and self-criticism. This conversation offers a powerful reframe for anyone who feels overextended or misdirected, showing how psychological flexibility and values-based choices can restore vitality, clarity, and a deeper sense of alignment in everyday life. Dr. Diana Hill is a psychologist and international trainer specializing in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She helps individuals and organizations build psychological flexibility using science-backed, compassion-driven tools. Diana is the author of four books, including Wise Effort, hosts the Wise Effort podcast, and has been featured in NPR, The Wall Street Journal, Psychology Today, and more—known for making complex psychology practical, clear, and deeply usable. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Hill dive into:  (0:00) Intro (1:37) When effort turns against you and pushing harder makes things worse (3:47) The quiet reason resolutions fail and what your intuition already knows (10:55) The hidden story we were taught about growth and why it’s misleading (19:02) How your energy gets drained without you ever noticing (25:46) The perspective shift that changes how you meet challenges and yourself (30:52) Dr. Hill’s wake-up moment and the unseen cost of trying too hard (43:30) Why reaching the goal still leaves something missing (48:07) What avoiding discomfort is actually costing you (58:46) Discovering your “genius energy” and what it’s meant for (1:17:16) The self-limiting stories that feel true but quietly hold you back (1:25:40) The subtle trap of chasing goals instead of living your values (1:28:17) Dr. Hill’s closing insight on trusting your inner compass Also mentioned in this episode: Wise Effort: How to Focus Your Genius Energy on What Matters Most For more on Dr. Hill, follow her on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Insight Timer, or visit her Website.

]]> 5645 The Mindset Shift That Changes The Way You Age and How to Get and Stay Strong For Life with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Maui Nui, Momentous, and One Skin. Muscle health shapes far more than our appearance, impacting metabolism, energy, resilience, and aging, yet most of us were never taught how to build it or adopt the mindset to protect it for life. Today’s episode explores why shifting toward a muscle-centric approach isn’t intuitive in modern culture, and how learning to train both the body and the mind may be one of the most important upgrades for long-term health. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to explore why muscle is far more than a fitness goal; it’s a central driver of longevity, metabolic health, and resilience. Together, they unpack the muscle-centric paradigm and how building strength shapes not only the body but also the mindset, emotional regulation, and identity. Dr. Lyon explains the power of neutrality and discernment in unhijacking reactive thought patterns, shares practical tools for moving from complaint to action, and breaks down how clarity of purpose fuels lasting change. This episode reframes health as a responsibility, not a luxury, and offers a roadmap for building strength that carries through every aspect of life. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a Washington University fellowship-trained physician in nutritional science and geriatrics, board-certified in family medicine, and the founder of the Institute for Muscle-Centric Medicine. She runs a private practice serving leaders, innovators, mavericks, and executives across multiple fields, while also working closely with special operations military personnel, all to shift medicine from an obesity-focused model to a muscle-centric paradigm grounded in high scientific integrity.  She is the bestselling author of Forever Strong and the upcoming Forever Strong Playbook.  In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Lyon dive into:  (0:00) Intro (1:00) The muscle mandate: why strength is no longer optional for long-term health (2:15) A mindset shift: how culture quietly reshapes our relationship with strength (15:08) The missing skill in a reactive, overstimulated world (18:57) Practicing neutrality: how to observe thoughts without being hijacked by them (32:20) Simple tools to break autopilot in real time (38:49) Your “why”: the hidden driver behind consistency and real change (52:44) How to interrupt the complaining loop before it drains your energy (57:14) Capacity versus challenge and determining where growth happens (1:02:38) Moving past stagnation and identifying areas for growth Also mentioned in this episode: The Forever Strong PLAYBOOK: Rewrite Your Future in Six Weeks Forever Strong For more on Dr. Lyon, follow her on Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or visit her Website.

Here's What the Science Says About the Sun’s Ability to Radically Improve Your Health with Jonathan Jarecki This episode is brought to you by Puori, Hollow Socks, Fatty15, and Branch Basics. Light shapes far more than our sleep; it influences our metabolism, hormones, energy, and long-term health. Yet modern life has quietly flipped our light environment upside down: too little sunlight during the day and too much artificial light at night. Today’s episode explores why that mismatch may be costing us far more than we realize. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Jonathan Jarecki to explore the critical role of sunlight, especially infrared light, in health and longevity. They break down key studies on sun exposure, including its impact on melatonin production, metabolic health, and overall well-being. Jonathan also shares his 2026 Light Challenge (with beginner and advanced levels) and practical strategies for getting more natural light during the day, reducing artificial light at night, and understanding the health risks of inadequate sun exposure. This episode is a powerful reminder that light isn’t just a backdrop to our lives, it’s a biological signal that shapes long-term health. Jonathan Jarecki is a pre-medical student, studying Biology and Neuroscience. He’s passionate about preventive medicine, evidence-based wellness, and translating cutting-edge research into practical tools for everyday life, exploring how light, water, and bioelectromagnetism shape health, performance, and longevity. In this episode, Dhru and Jonathan dive into:  (0:00) Intro (1:05) The importance of light and sun exposure on lifespan (11:20) ICU infrared LED light study (24:06) The connection between the sun, mitochondria, and melatonin (34:40) The 2026 Beginner Light Challenge (38:56) The role of sunlight exposure in metabolic health (56:12) A lunch-break habit that can reprogram your biology (1:00:23) Why evening sunlight matters more than you think (1:06:33) The phone settings that protect your brain after dark (1:09:27) How much light do you actually need each day?

]]> 5930 Why Healthy People Get Heart Attacks and Cancer: The Hidden Emotional Root Cause of Surprise Disease with Dr. Ronesh Sinha This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge, One Skin, Maui Nui, and Cozy Earth. When we think about chronic disease, we don’t always consider the role of emotions. Yet emotional patterns can quietly drive chronic inflammation, which underlies many of today’s most common conditions. Today’s guest shares powerful stories from patients with unexpected diagnoses, revealing how core life habits and major life events often precede, and contribute to, the development of disease.

Dr. Sinha introduces the concept of surprise diseases, explains how emotional patterns shape physical outcomes, and unpacks ideas like “shamily” and emotional immunity. He also shares practical ways to build emotional awareness, why introspection matters, and how open, honest conversations within families can be a powerful tool for long-term health. Dr. Ronesh Sinha is an internal medicine physician and author of The South Asian Health Solution, who runs a Silicon Valley lifestyle clinic focused on reversing insulin resistance. He serves as Chief Medical Officer for the Silicon Valley Employer Forum, advising major tech companies on health benefits. His work has been featured in Fortune Magazine and the Los Angeles Times, and he hosts the Meta Health Podcast.

]]> 5272 70% of Homes Have Mold: Here’s Why It’s An Issue And Why We Need to Protect Our Kids from Mold Toxicity This episode is brought to you by Pique Life and Hollow Socks. An estimated 70% of U.S. homes contain at least one mold species. And, while mold has always been part of our environment, something has shifted. Mold toxicity is showing up more often, more intensely, and in ways past generations simply didn’t experience.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Pejman Katiraei. Dr. Katiraei shares why today’s “toxic soup” environment makes mold far more disruptive than it used to be, and why kids are uniquely vulnerable. We explore how to recognize mold-related issues, how to think about mold in the larger context of chronic illness, and what steps parents can take if their child or they themselves have unexplained symptoms that don’t improve despite healthy habits.

An estimated 70% of U.S. homes contain at least one mold species. And, while mold has always been part of our environment, something has shifted. Mold toxicity is showing up more often, more intensely, and in ways past generations simply didn’t experience.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Pejman Katiraei. Dr. Katiraei shares why today’s “toxic soup” environment makes mold far more disruptive than it used to be, and why kids are uniquely vulnerable. We explore how to recognize mold-related issues, how to think about mold in the larger context of chronic illness, and what steps parents can take if their child or they themselves have unexplained symptoms that don’t improve despite healthy habits.

He shares insights from his clinical experience, the latest research on light therapy, and practical steps anyone can take to increase healthy light exposure. Dr. Seheult also outlines the eight laws of health, highlighting how nutrition, exercise, sunlight, and rest work together to support long-term well-being.


Dr. Roger Seheult is a quadruple board-certified physician in internal medicine, pulmonary diseases, critical care, and sleep medicine. He serves as an Associate Clinical Professor at UC Riverside and an Assistant Clinical Professor at Loma Linda University. He practices at Optum California as a critical care, pulmonary, and sleep specialist, directs a sleep lab, and serves as Medical Director for the Crafton Hills College Respiratory Care Program.

Our modern world is overflowing with stimulation from phones, social media, and endless choices, so it’s no wonder we feel distracted, anxious, and hooked on the things that drain our focus. But it’s not our fault. Our brains evolved for a world of scarcity, not the digital overload and excess we live in today.

Dr. Anders Hansen is a psychiatrist, speaker, award-winning author, and TV host. His books, The Attention Fix, The Happiness Cure, and The Mind-Body Method, have sold several million copies and topped bestseller lists worldwide.

]]> 4941 Why Cognitive Decline Isn’t Inevitable and What You Can Do About It This episode is brought to you by iRestore, Masa Chips, and Rula. Cognitive decline is a natural part of aging, but how much and how fast it progresses is primarily determined by us. While rates of Alzheimer’s and dementia continue to rise, research shows that our daily choices can either accelerate decline or support optimal brain health at any age. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Heather Sandison to discuss her groundbreaking proof-of-concept research on improving cognitive decline—and all the factors her team implemented with study participants. She shares the diet and lifestyle changes that made the most significant difference in reversing early cognitive decline and explains why this isn’t about finding a quick fix or miracle pill. Dr. Heather Sandison is a renowned naturopathic doctor specializing in neurocognitive medicine and the founder of Solcere Health Clinic, San Diego’s premier brain optimization clinic, and Marama, the first residential memory care facility to have the goal of returning cognitively declined residents to independent living. She is the primary author of the peer-reviewed research “Observed Improvement in Cognition During a Personalized Lifestyle Intervention in People with Cognitive Decline,” published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. Dr. Sandison hosts the annual online Reverse Alzheimer’s Summit, where she shares cutting-edge and tried-and-true insight into what is possible for those suffering from dementia. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Sandison dive into: The whole-body approach for research participants (2:20) What participants in Dr. Sandison’s study implemented and the results (6:25) Stages of cognitive decline and adopting a lifestyle to prevent decline (11:34) What to do to reverse cognitive decline (17:58) Final thoughts (21:48) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Heather Sandison This episode is brought to you by iRestore, Masa Chips, and Rula.

]]> 1222 7 Ways I'm Helping My Parents Stay Healthy As They Get Older This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Maui Nui, iRestore, and Rula. As our parents get older, the roles slowly shift from them taking care of us to us helping take care of them. But how do you do that in a way that feels supportive, not controlling or preachy? And beyond that, how do we help them optimize their health so they can stay strong, independent, and full of life for as long as possible? Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with his sisters, Harshal and Kaya, to share the top seven things they’re doing to keep their parents healthy and thriving.

They also dive into the seven strategies that made the most significant difference in their parents’ health journey, including strength training, increasing protein intake, and fostering community and a sense of belonging. Plus, they discuss the importance of mindset shifts, addressing sleep apnea, and building the simple habit of walking after meals. In this episode, Dhru, Harshal, and Kaya dive into: Dhru’s Intro and Background (00:00) Biggest mistakes we make when approaching our parents (2:20) Talking “at” versus “to” our parents (3:30) Leading with empathy and compassion (7:30) Making lifestyle changes fun through community (12:43) Focusing on tiny wins instead of forcing big changes (18:48) Movement and strength training as key components (22:28) Changing environment and exposure (32:58) Building meaningful connections (40:05) Prioritizing protein for metabolic health (47:54) Addressing sleep apnea and hearing loss (56:38) Walking after meals as a core habit (1:04:18) Sauna as an added bonus (1:07:58) Final thoughts (1:11:28) Also mentioned in this episode: Try This: 7 Things I’m Doing To Keep My Parents Healthy As They Get Older Levels Glucose Monitoring This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Maui Nui, iRestore, and Rula.

]]> 4341 Can We Starve Cancer Cells Using the Ketogenic Diet, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and Resistance Training? This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge and Cowboy Colostrum. For decades, we’ve been told that cancer is mostly a genetic disease—something determined by fate or random mutations. But what if that’s only part of the story? What if, instead, cancer is deeply tied to how our cells produce and use energy? ​​Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Dominic D’Agostino. He shares how and why the ketogenic diet can be therapeutic for cancer, why maintaining optimal blood glucose levels is essential before using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and how exercise and lean muscle mass play a powerful role in both prevention and treatment. Dr. Dominic D’Agostino is an Assistant Professor at the University of South Florida College of Medicine, Molecular Pharmacology & Physiology, where he develops and tests metabolic therapies, including alternative energy substrates and ketogenic agents for neurological disorders, cancer, and wound healing. While studying the effects of gases on the brains of Navy SEAL divers, he developed an approach for metabolically starving cancer cells through diet and compressed oxygen, replacing chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. D’Agostino dive into: Why a ketogenic diet can be therapeutic (2:21) Lowering blood glucose to the optimal range (13:32) Exploring the potential role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in cancer care (15:44) The role of exercise and muscle in cancer prevention (20:01) Final thoughts and takeaways (23:18) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dominic D'Agostino Try This: How Exercise Helps Fight Cancer This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge and Cowboy Colostrum.

]]> 1444 How Blood Sugar Control, Movement, Mindset, and Community Can Transform Your Experience Through Perimenopause with Dr. Mariza Snyder This episode is brought to you by One Skin and Momentous. Perimenopause is something nearly every woman will experience, yet many don’t recognize what’s happening until symptoms begin to disrupt daily life. This week, I asked my sisters, Kaya and Harshal, to sit down with Dr. Mariza Snyder for an open and honest conversation about perimenopause. Together, they bring personal experience and curiosity to the discussion, unpacking what’s really happening in the body during this stage and how women can navigate it with more ease and support. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Kaya and Harshal sit down with Dr. Mariza Snyder to discuss the perimenopause stage of life. Dr. Mariza explains the first signs of perimenopause, which can vary widely and affect the entire body well beyond the breasts and ovaries. She breaks down what happens inside the body during this transition, how it can lead to surprising changes in daily life, and the key tests that can help women navigate this phase while protecting their brain and metabolic health. Dr. Mariza also shares why stress management, community, and movement are essential tools for empowering ourselves through this time. Dr. Mariza Snyder is a functional practitioner, women’s hormone expert, and the author of nine best-selling women’s health books. Her newest book, The Perimenopause Revolution, breaks down the real reasons women often feel “off” in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, such as stubborn weight gain, brain fog, low energy, anxiety, and poor sleep, and provides a clear, proven roadmap to help them feel like themselves again. For over 15 years, Dr. Mariza has spoken worldwide on hormone and metabolic health, nutrition, and detoxification. She also hosts the top-rated Energized Podcast,  empowering women to become the CEO of their health. In this episode, Kaya, Harshal, and Dr. Snyder dive into:  Spotting the first signs of perimenopause (1:58) Menopause as the “second puberty” (07:10) Take the Are You in Perimenopause? quiz (09:15) Why your brain changes during menopause (14:04) Tackling shifting cycles & estrogen dominance (21:17) Muscle, body composition & strength in midlife (30:56) What to do if your metabolic markers are high (33:04) Hormones, sleep & circadian rhythm reset (39:25) Alcohol’s hidden impact on women’s hormones (47:01) Stress, self-care & the power of gratitude (48:40) The overlooked benefits of NEAT (55:46) How to thrive through perimenopause (01:10:13) Inside The Perimenopause Revolution (01:13:30) Also mentioned in this episode: The Perimenopause Revolution: Reclaim Your Hormones, Metabolism & Energy For more on Dr. Snyder, follow her on Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Apple Podcasts, or visit her Website.

Jessie Inchauspé is on a mission to translate cutting-edge science into practical tips to help people enhance their physical and mental well-being.

For a long time, most people thought blood sugar only mattered if you had diabetes. But we now know it influences so much more: your energy, focus, mood, and ultimately your ability to live up to your highest potential. And there’s one thing that impacts all of these more than you might realize: glucose spikes.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Jessie Inchauspé. Jessie shares how and why switching to a savory breakfast can alter the trajectory of your day and energy. She also shares how a glucose roller coaster can create a false sense of energy and lead to brain fog, and how movement can help combat these fluctuations. Stabilizing your blood sugar isn’t just about diet, it’s about unlocking clearer thinking, balanced energy, and a steadier mind to help you feel and perform your best every day.

]]> 1402 The Everyday Toxins Accelerating Aging and Damaging Your Mitochondria and How to Protect Your Cells for a Longer, Healthier Life with Dr. Daria Mochly-Rosen This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Bon Charge, and Birch Living. When we think of mitochondria, we often think of them as the powerhouse of the cell, but they do so much more. Mitochondria are responsible for intricate functions like detoxification, immune defense, and cell signaling. Their health is directly tied to our overall health. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Daria Mochly-Rosen to discuss why protecting our mitochondria is essential for long-term health. Dr. Daria reveals the top insults that damage mitochondrial function, such as air pollution, pesticides, and chronic stress, and explains how they’re linked to conditions like Parkinson’s disease. She also shares her groundbreaking research on aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 and emphasizes why, in today’s world, our mitochondria are under constant attack, making it more important than ever to reduce these burdens on the body. Dr. Daria Mochly-Rosen is the George D. Smith professor for translational medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. She is passionate about turning scientific discoveries into real-world treatments and helping people make informed health choices. She has founded three biotech companies and created SPARK, a program that focuses on translating scientific innovations to benefit patients. Following the success of the program at Stanford, which led to the formation of over fifty biopharmaceutical companies, SPARK now operates in dozens of universities around the world.  In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Rosen dive into:  What’s really hurting your mitochondria today (1:20) How air pollution, smoke and vaping chip away at your cells (2:40) The hidden danger of pesticides (9:00) Are we sensitive to electromagnetic frequencies? (17:55) Radiation’s surprising effect on your cells (22:45) The enzyme that could reveal your mitochondrial health (27:45) Should you worry about everyday radiation? (36:21) The control you do have over your health (41:51) Light, sleep, and mitochondria: the photobiomodulation link (42:46) Why chronic stress silently destroys mitochondria (47:16) The connection between mitochondria and aging (51:58) How exercise powers up your mitochondria (01:01:06) The secret of pairing endurance with strength (1:09:15) Fiber’s underrated role in mitochondrial health (1:14:21) Also mentioned in this episode: The Life Machines: How Taking Care of Your Mitochondria Can Transform Your Health For more on Dr. Rosen, follow her on LinkedIn or visit her Website.

]]> 1889 Brand New Research on The Radical Benefits of Walking for Lowering Cholesterol, Body Fat, and Glucose, and Improving Your Mental Clarity with Greg Mushen This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Cozy Earth, and Fatty15. While the “10,000 steps a day” idea came from a marketing company in Japan, that doesn’t mean walking itself is a gimmick. Today’s guest shares why he is so passionate about walking and the research that supports this accessible habit, one that can be incorporated into most people’s lives and lead to significant results and shifts in their health and wellness journey. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Greg Mushen to explore the profound benefits of walking as a fundamental aspect of health and wellness. Greg shares how walking can be more effective than medications for managing blood sugar. He explains why maintaining a high step count supports weight loss and mood regulation, and highlights the critical role walking plays in cardiovascular health. He also emphasizes the importance of fiber and potassium in the diet, the influence of genetics on health, and the benefits of personal experimentation in achieving optimal outcomes. The conversation reveals why walking, one of the most low-cost and accessible habits, could be the missing link to better health and why you’ll want to hear the data for yourself. Greg Mushen is a health researcher, writer, and systems thinker with a long career in the tech industry. After years of building and scaling technology products, he turned his focus to one of medicine’s biggest puzzles: why subsistence populations largely avoid chronic disease. His approach combines anthropology with modern science, connecting lipid kinetics, gut microbiome ecology, and evolutionary biology into a systems-level understanding of human health. A lifelong builder, whether in startups, overland rigs, or new health frameworks, Greg now approaches human healthspan as the ultimate engineering problem: resilience, adaptability, and longevity. In this episode, Dhru and Greg dive into:  The importance of doubling down on walking (1:10) Greg’s physical transformation through walking (9:31) Combining walking with resistance training (20:26) The link between lipid clearance, fat oxidation, and walking (26:25) Incorporating regular movement into daily life (27:45) Key comparisons between walking and running (34:08) Developing an elite VO₂ max (37:47) Vascular stiffening and endoPAT testing (41:47) Why fiber intake matters and how Greg increases intake (44:45) The role of genetics in cardiovascular health (58:43) The importance of potassium in the diet (1:08:15) Lessons from subsistence populations on chronic disease (1:14:02) Final thoughts and key takeaways (1:15:12) Also mentioned in this episode: Study on the Association of Daily Step Count and Step Intensity With Mortality Among US Adults Study on Postmeal Exercise Blunts Postprandial Glucose Excursions In People On Metformin Monotherapy Try This: 5 Things I Changed After Getting Genetic Testing Greg’s Chili Recipe For more on Greg, follow him on X/Twitter, Instagram, Threads, and Substack.

]]> 4758 How Overeating Sugar Shrinks Your Brain & The Unexpected Thing That Grows It This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge and AquaTru. Dwindling memory is often seen as a normal part of aging. But just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s normal. There’s a lot we can do to safeguard the memory center of our brain, and it’s never too late to start. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Majid Fotuhi. He unpacks how excess sugar from a highly refined, processed diet can accelerate aging and damage key organs, including the kidneys, liver, and brain. Dr. Fotuhi also highlights animal studies linking sugar to brain decline, the blood markers we should all be monitoring, and practical strategies to support brain growth. Finally, he shares why having a strong sense of purpose is one of the most powerful ways to protect brain health. Dr. Fotuhi is a neurologist specializing in memory, concussion, and successful aging. With over 30 years of teaching, clinical practice, and neuroscience research at Harvard Medical School and Johns Hopkins, he has developed a multidisciplinary program to help people of all ages improve memory and attention. The results of his program have been published in numerous scientific journals as well as in his three books. Passionate about public education on brain health, Dr. Fotuhi also teaches in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at George Washington University and at Harvard Medical School. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Fotuhi dive into: Why sugar is so damaging to the brain (01:46) How elevated uric acid levels accelerate brain aging (11:22) Essential blood markers to monitor regularly (17:27) Key strategies to support brain growth (21:24) Why having a sense of purpose is vital for brain health (22:42) Final thoughts (30:35) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Majid Fotuhi Try This: How Fructose Damages the Brain and Increases Our Risk for Alzheimer’s This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge and AquaTru.

]]> 1263 Simple and Safe Evidence-Based Ways to Reduce Autism Risk From a Physician and a Father On a Mission This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Birch Living, and Our Place. Autism rates have increased fivefold over the past twenty years. While much remains unknown about how children develop autism, research suggests that the rise in cases may not be explained by increased diagnoses alone. Today’s guest takes us on a deep dive into autism and shares his proposals for reducing these rates. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Jeff Zadeh for a deep dive into autism and the research he’s uncovered on key strategies that may reduce the likelihood of a child being diagnosed with autism. While Dr. Jeff acknowledges that much remains unknown about why some children are on the autism spectrum, he highlights the top nutrients and vitamins women should focus on before pregnancy to help lower the risk. From dosages to deficiencies, Dr. Jeff breaks down what the research shows so far. He also shares his personal journey with his son’s diagnosis and what inspired him to begin exploring this topic in depth. Dr. Jeff Zadeh, a board-certified internist with nearly 30 years of experience, founded Dallas Medical Specialists in 2005 and later moved his practice to rural North Texas, where he serves as a hospitalist, trauma director, and emergency physician. After his oldest son was diagnosed with autism, he discovered research suggesting many cases may be preventable through prenatal counseling, yet most physicians were unaware of it. Inspired by this and the work of Dr. David Berger, he wrote Autism Prevention 5 Days a Week to share simple, evidence-based prevention strategies in accessible language. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Zadeh dive into: Dr. Zadeh’s personal journey with his son’s autism diagnosis (00:55) Dr. Zadeh’s medical background and the challenges of obtaining a diagnosis (8:50) The importance of supplementation before conception (27:32) What to look for in prenatal vitamins (45:27) The 5-day-a-week proposal and the studies behind it (49:55) Maintaining sufficient iron levels in women (1:06:33) Why checking thyroid levels before pregnancy is essential (1:15:21) Environmental toxin exposures affecting pregnancy (1:15:26) The risks of taking Tylenol during pregnancy (1:27:23) The connection between celiac disease and autism (1:31:35) How increasing DHA omega-3 and vitamin D intake may lower the risk of autism (1:35:32) The role of choline in autism prevention (1:51:12) Key factors we should pay attention to (1:54:47) Dr. Zadeh’s reflections as a parent of a child on the autism spectrum (2:00:20) Final thoughts and takeaways (2:07:30) Also mentioned in this episode: Dr. Jeff Zadeh’s Slides Autism Prevention 5 Days a Week Dr. Rhonda Patrick BPA Instagram Post  For more on Dr. Zadeh, follow him on X/Twitter and visit his Website.

]]> 1677 The Universe Is Sending You Signs: Are You Listening? How to Fine Tune Your Intuition to Step Into Your Purpose and Dream Life with Dr. Tara Swart This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, LMNT, and Fatty15. Have you ever had a sign or a gut feeling that you brushed off as a coincidence? What if those moments weren’t random at all, but subtle guidance pointing you in the right direction? On today’s episode, we explore how these signs show up in our lives, why we often miss them, and how understanding the science behind intuition can help us tune in and act with clarity. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with world-renowned neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart to explore the key signs of greater intelligence that often appear in our lives. She explains how our modern world can prevent us from noticing these signs and receiving guidance, and how the brain itself acts as a filter. Through practices such as visualization and intention-setting, we can activate the reticular activating system to better recognize opportunities that align with our goals. Dr. Tara also breaks down the science of intuition and “signs,” showing how gut feelings and dreams are rooted in real brain-body connections, while offering practical tools to rewire limiting beliefs. She reminds us that transformation isn’t magic, but rather biology combined with aligned action. Dr. Tara Swart is a PhD neuroscientist and Oxford University-trained medical doctor. She is Senior Advisor for Neuroscience and Leadership at MIT Sloan School of Management, best-selling author of The Source, and a Trustee of the Lady Garden Foundation. Tara is the Chief Science Officer at Dirtea, an adaptogenic mushroom company, and the Mind Ambassador at Healf.com. Tara is passionate about empowering people through the intersection of science and spirituality. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Swart dive into:  Dr. Tara’s personal story of loss, grief, and her journey with signs and patterns (1:10) Fundamental beliefs we accept without proof and a discussion on near-death experiences (7:02) What Dr. Tara realized after her husband’s death and the greater source present in the universe (17:24) The importance of having community (20:17) Dhru’s personal story of signs after loss (21:25) How Dr. Tara navigated her grief and what led her to write her book (38:50) Why sharing your experiences with signs matters and how to identify your own (47:14) Finding a sense of purpose through signs (1:07:00) Practices to help us access and strengthen our intuition (1:18:57) The power of journaling (1:23:21) What to do when you ask for a sign and don’t get one (1:29:56) Feeling connected to signs while staying grounded in real life (1:34:35) The consequences of ignoring the signs life gives us (1:41:45) Final thoughts and takeaways (1:45:55) Also mentioned in this episode: The Signs: The New Science of How to Trust Your Instincts - Dr. Tara’s new book  For more on Dr. Swart, follow her on Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, or visit her Website.

Through practices such as visualization and intention-setting, we can activate the reticular activating system to better recognize opportunities that align with our goals. Dr. Tara also breaks down the science of intuition and “signs,” showing how gut feelings and dreams are rooted in real brain-body connections, while offering practical tools to rewire limiting beliefs. She reminds us that transformation isn’t magic, but rather biology combined with aligned action.


Dr. Tara Swart is a PhD neuroscientist and Oxford University-trained medical doctor. She is Senior Advisor for Neuroscience and Leadership at MIT Sloan School of Management, best-selling author of The Source, and a Trustee of the Lady Garden Foundation. Tara is the Chief Science Officer at Dirtea, an adaptogenic mushroom company, and the Mind Ambassador at Healf.com. Tara is passionate about empowering people through the intersection of science and spirituality.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Bill Harris. He shares groundbreaking research linking high omega-3 levels to Alzheimer’s and dementia prevention, and how omega-3s can help reduce overall chronic inflammation.

William S. Harris, PhD, FASN, has been a leading researcher in the omega-3 fatty acid field for 40 years. He has authored over 300 scientific papers on fatty acids and health, has been on the faculty of three medical schools, and has received five NIH grants to study omega-3. He co-authored three AHA statements on fatty acids and heart health. As the co-inventor of the Omega-3 Index (and other omega-3 blood tests) and founder of OmegaQuant Analytics, Dr. Harris has been ranked among the top 2% of scientists worldwide based on the impact of his research.

]]> 6280 Big Idea: How We Can Start to Heal From Traumatic Childhood Experiences that Shape Our Health with Dr. Gabor Mate This episode is brought to you by Pique Life and Aqua Tru. If you’ve ever gone to your doctor for pain or discomfort, did they ask you about the pain or trauma you’ve experienced in your life? Western medicine often separates the mind from the body, but in reality, the two are deeply connected. From a young age, many of us face hardships we don’t fully recognize, shaping the lens through which we see the world. Adversity is a part of the collective human experience, but when left unresolved, it can lead to unhealthy lifestyle choices that directly impact our physical well-being. Today, on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with  Dr. Gabor Maté about the link between trauma, addiction, and chronic illness. They also discuss how profit-driven culture targets our insecurities and the crisis of separation, disconnection, and loneliness we currently face as a society. Most importantly, they discuss the first steps we can take toward health and healing. Dr. Gabor Maté is a renowned speaker and bestselling author known for his work on addiction, trauma, stress, and childhood development. He’s the author of several acclaimed books, including In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, When the Body Says No, and The Myth of Normal. For his groundbreaking contributions, he’s received the Order of Canada, the country’s highest civilian honor. He also co-developed Compassionate Inquiry, a therapeutic approach now used by professionals worldwide. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Maté dive into: The role of genes in human health and behavior (1:34) Gabor’s childhood trauma and its lasting impact (6:10) Understanding trauma and how it shapes the way we live, love, and interpret the world (12:45) What society gains and loses from living in a toxic culture (23:35) Final thoughts (30:25) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Gabor Maté This episode is brought to you by Pique Life and Aqua Tru.

They also dive into the biggest blockers of nitric oxide production, the top foods and lifestyle choices to naturally boost it, signs of deficiency, and so much more. Dr. Nathan Bryan is a leading expert in molecular medicine and nitric oxide research, with over 20 years of groundbreaking work and dozens of global patents. He’s the founder of Nitric Oxide Innovations, a company developing nitric oxide-based therapies to improve health worldwide.

Each year, nearly 700,000 lives are lost to cardiovascular disease—and half of those individuals had no warning signs before their event. One major contributing factor? Low levels of nitric oxide, a vital molecule that supports healthy blood flow and keeps blood vessels flexible. The good news is that lifestyle changes—like diet, exercise, and proper supplementation—can naturally boost nitric oxide levels, helping to reduce your risk and support long-term heart health.

Top Pediatrician Shares the Vaccine Research We Need to Hear with Dr. Joel Warsh This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge, Momentous, One Skin, and Branch Basics. It’s difficult to have a balanced conversation about vaccines. Both sides often jump to conclusions, leaving little room for nuanced, open dialogue. Just a few years ago, even sharing a podcast discussing vaccines could result in it being flagged. In this episode, Dr. Joel Gator Warsh joins us for a thoughtful conversation—one that doesn’t push any agenda, but simply aims to share information. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh for a deep dive into the topic of vaccines. Dr. Gator discusses what the gold standard for vaccine testing should look like and what it truly means to provide informed consent. He addresses common concerns about additives in vaccines and emphasizes that his role is to educate—not to influence or bias—parents in making the best decisions for their children. He also explains why current research is lacking when it comes to understanding the potential long-term health impacts of vaccines, and shares his hopes for more robust studies and open, nuanced conversations moving forward. Dr. Joel Gator Warsh is a Board-Certified Pediatrician based in Los Angeles, California, specializing in parenting, wellness, and integrative medicine.  In 2018, he founded his current practice, Integrative Pediatrics and Medicine, in Studio City.  In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Gator dive into: What does “vaccine placebo” mean, and the differing definitions (00:17) Dr. Gator’s belief in providing information for truly informed consent (3:10) Questions about the ingredients and additives in vaccines (6:30) Why Dr. Gator started asking questions about vaccines (10:05) Why vaccine research typically doesn't use traditional placebo-controlled trials (19:47) The rise in public awareness and the future of vaccine studies (24:53) COVID as a major awakening regarding vaccines and peer reviews of vaccine trials (32:44) The history of polio and the increase in vaccines for various conditions (45:33) How vaccines have turned into a political issue (50:30) Stories from Dr. Gator’s patients, his recommendations, and an alternative schedule for newborns (59:21) Vaccines and concerns about autoimmune diseases and cumulative effects (1:13:20) The need for further research on vaccines and the possible correlation with autism (1:18:39) The measles vaccine: when to get it and debunked studies regarding its correlation to autism (1:34:49) Dr. Gator’s new book and what he hopes it contributes to the vaccine discussion (1:47:09) Does the flu vaccine make a difference (1:50:49) Final thoughts (1:54:47) Also mentioned in this episode: Dr. Gator's new book - Between a Shot and a Hard Place A Deep Dive on the Fraud, Deception, and Misdirection of Big Pharma with Dr. John Abramson For more on Dr. Gator, follow him on Instagram, X/Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, or visit his Website.

]]> 7154 Big Idea: Why Are Seed Oils So Pervasive and The Case For and Against Them This episode is brought to you by Momentous, Ollie, and Manukora Honey. Vegetable oils are a hot topic in the wellness world. Some consider them a heart-healthy alternative to saturated fats, while others argue they may be far more harmful to our overall health than once believed. But where did they come from, and how did they become so widely used?  Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Jeff Nobbs to discuss the history of seed oils and how they’ve become ubiquitous in restaurants and ultra-processed foods. He also describes the research limitations and selective reporting that have heavily influenced their recommendation and use. Jeff Nobbs is the cofounder and CEO of Zero Acre Farms, a company replacing harmful vegetable oils with healthier, more sustainable options made through fermentation. With over 15 years of experience in health and nutrition, Jeff has launched several start-ups focused on better ingredients and food access, including the restaurant chain Kitava and the nonprofit HelpKitchen. He’s also served as COO of Perfect Keto and GM at Ebates (now Rakuten). In this episode, Dhru and Jeff dive into: The history of seed oils and how they became so pervasive (04:01) Why trans fats were banned from commercial production (17:26) Observational research and the case for seed oils (21:40) Randomized controlled trials and the case against seed oils (28:21) Biomarkers in people who consume seed oils and observational data on trans fats (33:04) The Minnesota Coronary Experiment (40:32) McDonald’s transition to seed oils (43:15) Final thoughts (44:36) Also mentioned: Full episode with Jeff Nobbs This episode is brought to you by Momentous, Ollie, and Manukora Honey.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Joe Hudson to explore how judgment, whether directed outward or inward, influences our thoughts, relationships, and overall well-being. Joe shares what leads us to have judgmental thoughts, the initial high it brings, and the vulnerable feelings that it covers up. Joe also shares the roadblocks that hold us back from being exactly who we want to be, as well as the common pattern of self-reliance, abandonment, and shame. It’s time to drop the judgment and reclaim your freedom. Dubbed “the coach behind Silicon Valley’s unicorn CEOs,” Joe Hudson is one of the most in-demand mentors to top leaders at OpenAI, Apple, Alphabet, and beyond. With a background in venture capital and over 25 years of deep work across psychology, neuroscience, and contemplative traditions, Joe has crafted a radically different path to personal growth—one that goes far beyond traditional self-help. His approach rewires how people relate to themselves, dissolving internal blocks and unlocking sustainable high performance rooted in ease, clarity, and joy. In this episode, Dhru and Joe dive into: How self-judgment impacts our well-being and emotional regulation (00:15) Why judging others feels good, the inner voice, and the impact of negative self-talk (5:16) Are our judgmental thoughts contributing to physical disease in the body? (14:58) Joe's personal journey and what he internalized from childhood (18:18) Why the inner voice in your head is often wrong (24:13) Judgment, shame, and guilt as key drivers of stress (30:51) How do you want to be right now? (35:07) How to deal with internal resistance (42:57) The connection between abandonment and self-reliance (44:35) Understanding the pattern of abandonment and how to address it (51:95) Receiving unconditional love and building unconditional relationships (56:40) An introduction to The Matrix Protocol (1:08:15) What it means to live in the compassionate truth (1:20:12) The hidden “protocol” of unhappiness (1:24:47) Gratitude moments and shifting from lack to love (1:33:04) How stress, lack of enjoyment, and negative self-talk threaten our well-being (1:43:31) Where to find Joe’s work and resources (1:49:57) For more on Joe, follow him on Twitter, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and his Website.

]]> 6909 Why Excess Added Sugar is Driving Modern Diseases and How to Take Back Our Metabolic Health and Overcome a Sedentary Lifestyle This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Ollie. Sugar is everywhere in the modern diet, and it's silently driving a massive wave of chronic illness. From insulin resistance and fatty liver to cognitive decline, the overconsumption of ultra-processed, sugar-laden foods has created a health crisis hiding in plain sight. As scientists uncover deeper connections between sugar, metabolism, and brain health, one thing is clear: this isn’t just about cutting calories—it’s about changing the way we eat to protect our long-term well-being. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with top experts on the connection between insulin resistance, fatty liver, and Alzheimer’s disease.  Dr. Robert Lustig shares the impact of added sugar on mitochondrial health and metabolism. He also discusses what you can expect when significantly reducing the amount of added sugar in your diet, why the quality of your calories matters, and the fascinating ways our bodies store fat.  Dr. Richard Johnson discusses his revolutionary new hypothesis on the link between fructose consumption and Alzheimer’s disease. Dhru and Dr. Johnson discuss the evolutionary mechanism behind fructose metabolism, insulin resistance, and weight gain, which has backfired due to its overconsumption. In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into: What is leptin resistance (2:11) Thin on the outside, fat on the inside (TOFI) (5:55) The three sites of fat deposition in the body (6:47) Key findings from the SHINE study (17:03) The Metabolic Matrix: feed the gut, protect the liver, and support the brain (21:35) Dr. Johnson’s hypothesis on the link between Alzheimer’s and fructose consumption (25:05) The origins of Alzheimer’s: what’s happening in the brain (33:28) Uric acid as a driver of fat accumulation, and its connection to gout, obesity, and other diseases (31:13) The relationship between salt, dehydration, and fructose production (45:51) How fructose increases our cravings for sugar (50:01) The role of fructose in Alzheimer’s disease (56:56) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Robert Lustig Full episode with Dr. Richard Johnson This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Ollie.

]]> 6354 The Labs You Need Your Doctor to Run to Know if Your Metabolically Healthy This episode is brought to you by Square, Branch Basics, and Manukora Honey. When we’re told our labs are “normal,” that doesn’t always mean they’re optimal—especially considering that over one-third of Americans are prediabetic and 47 million have metabolic syndrome. Metabolic health is the foundation of true longevity. Without actively supporting it, the risk of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes increases. The good news? Prioritizing metabolic health through simple lifestyle changes can lead to long-term vitality and meaningful transformation. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with top experts on the most underrated blood tests for metabolic health and how to decode optimal lab markers. Dr. Tyna Moore breaks down the science behind metabolic dysfunction and its connection to chronic disease. She shares the essential labs to order, how often to test, and what optimal results should look like. She also offers practical tips for beginners on getting started with resistance training. Dr. Ben Bikman dives into how elevated fasting insulin contributes to insulin resistance, fat storage, and challenges in sustainable weight loss. He also explores how genetics play a role in weight gain and why lowering insulin—not just counting calories—should be the first step in any effective weight-loss strategy. Dr. Tyna Moore is a board-certified naturopathic and chiropractic physician and the founder and owner of Core Wellness Clinic in Portland, Oregon. She specializes in non-surgical pain management, natural pain solutions, and regenerative injection therapies for orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions.  Dr. Ben Bikman is a metabolic research scientist and author of Why We Get Sick, which explores insulin resistance as a root cause of many chronic health issues. With a PhD in bioenergetics and postdoctoral work in metabolic disorders, he now serves as an associate professor at BYU, where he studies insulin’s role in obesity, diabetes, and mitochondrial health. In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into: Metabolic health and disease pathways (2:10) Key lab tests and optimal levels (4:25) How and why to start resistance training (20:49) The most underrated blood test for metabolic health (33:57) Optimal reference ranges for fasting insulin (37:45) The two primary factors contributing to weight gain (44:22) The role of fat cells and ethnic differences (53:09) Final thoughts (1:01:34) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Tyna Moore Full episode with Dr. Ben Bikman Want Dhru’s Lab Ranges Cheat Sheet?

Prioritizing metabolic health through simple lifestyle changes can lead to long-term vitality and meaningful transformation. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with top experts on the most underrated blood tests for metabolic health and how to decode optimal lab markers. Dr. Tyna Moore breaks down the science behind metabolic dysfunction and its connection to chronic disease. She shares the essential labs to order, how often to test, and what optimal results should look like. She also offers practical tips for beginners on getting started with resistance training. Dr. Ben Bikman dives into how elevated fasting insulin contributes to insulin resistance, fat storage, and challenges in sustainable weight loss. He also explores how genetics play a role in weight gain and why lowering insulin—not just counting calories—should be the first step in any effective weight-loss strategy. Dr. Tyna Moore is a board-certified naturopathic and chiropractic physician and the founder and owner of Core Wellness Clinic in Portland, Oregon. She specializes in non-surgical pain management, natural pain solutions, and regenerative injection therapies for orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions.  Dr. Ben Bikman is a metabolic research scientist and author of Why We Get Sick, which explores insulin resistance as a root cause of many chronic health issues. With a PhD in bioenergetics and postdoctoral work in metabolic disorders, he now serves as an associate professor at BYU, where he studies insulin’s role in obesity, diabetes, and mitochondrial health. In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into: Metabolic health and disease pathways (2:10) Key lab tests and optimal levels (4:25) How and why to start resistance training (20:49) The most underrated blood test for metabolic health (33:57) Optimal reference ranges for fasting insulin (37:45) The two primary factors contributing to weight gain (44:22) The role of fat cells and ethnic differences (53:09) Final thoughts (1:01:34) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Tyna Moore Full episode with Dr. Ben Bikman Want Dhru’s Lab Ranges Cheat Sheet?

When we think about carbon, we often associate it with pollution, greenhouse gases, and climate change. But carbon is not the enemy—it's the essential building block of life. From the soil beneath our feet to the air we breathe, carbon plays a central role in the biosphere. The real issue lies not with carbon itself, but with how human systems have disrupted its natural balance. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with environmentalist and author Paul Hawken to unpack the deeper story of carbon—its vital role in life, its misrepresentation in climate discourse, and its power to connect all living systems. Drawing from his new book Carbon: The Book of Life, Paul explains why regeneration, not just sustainability, is key. He also shares how we can restore our relationship with the Earth by embracing Indigenous wisdom, ecological thinking, and a shift from extraction to restoration, reminding us that healing the planet starts with rethinking our values. Paul Hawken is an environmentalist, entrepreneur, and bestselling author who advises governments and business leaders on climate and ecological regeneration. He’s written nine books with six national and New York Times bestsellers. He founded both Project Drawdown and Project Regeneration, which created the world’s largest network of solutions to the climate crisis. His newest book is Carbon: The Book of Life. Tune in to this powerful conversation to discover how rethinking carbon could help us heal our planet—and ourselves.  In this episode, Dhru and Paul dive into: Carbon as the foundation of life (00:40) The vilification of carbon from an environmental perspective—and the secrets it holds (3:05) Dissolving the human–nature divide and reconnecting with the natural world (11:20) The message behind Claire Davis' food experiment with infants (17:40) How awareness and communication with nature could help shift humanity (25:13) Balancing human wants versus needs (35:43) The idea that Earth has a form of awareness (46:59) Challenging the idea that human existence is a plight on the planet (1:03:23) The limits of technology in healing the Earth—and how it has improved human life (1:10:53) Carbon sequestration through regenerative agriculture (1:15:42) Rethinking the phrase “growth is good” in the context of nature, humans, and technology (1:21:33) The impact of outcome-focused living and raising awareness about health (1:31:03) Reevaluating infant formula and banning pharmaceutical ads—genuine progress or public deception? (1:37:43) The future of agriculture: banning chemicals, pesticides, and harmful toxins in America (1:42:43) There is a solution, a path to change—and we are part of it (1:48:43) The need for community, the power of connection, and our role in making life better (2:02:13) Also mentioned in this episode: Paul’s Book - Carbon: The Book of Life Project Drawdown Restor Eco Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?

]]> 6335 What is Your Body Trying to Tell You? The Top Causes of Chronic Pain and How to Tackle Pain Head On This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Manukora Honey. Chronic pain affects millions of people, yet traditional approaches often focus only on managing symptoms, without addressing the root cause. Today’s guests share a groundbreaking perspective: that pain is created by the brain as a signal of an underlying emotional issue that needs attention. By identifying and addressing these emotional triggers, lasting relief can be achieved by rewiring the brain. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with leading experts on getting to the root cause of chronic pain. Dr. Andrea Furlan breaks down the drivers of chronic pain and debunks common myths around treatment. She also highlights the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle in worsening pain and shares her unique, integrative approach to healing. Next, Dr. Howard Schubiner explains why chronic pain is becoming more prevalent and how it’s closely connected to the brain. He outlines why the current model of pain management falls short and introduces Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy—an evidence-based approach that has been shown to be more effective than traditional treatments. Dr. Schubiner also discusses how adverse childhood experiences can manifest as chronic pain later in life, and how we can retrain our brains to change our perception and experience of pain. In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into: Top myths in treating chronic pain (01:05) Tier ranking of the top drivers of chronic pain (06:40) Corrective exercises for addressing lower back pain (12:36) Solutions, answers, and advice for lower back pain (15:33) Evidence-based alternative approaches for chronic lower back and shoulder pain (19:26) Do's and don'ts to prevent abuse of the body (22:51) Why back pain has doubled in the last twenty years (29:20) What pain in the body actually is (32:28) Why the current approach to pain and pain management is broken (35:43) The Symptom Perception Model and its effectiveness (43:00) Incentives that contribute to systemic failure (44:32) Why MRIs don’t provide a complete picture of pain (49:11) Adverse childhood experiences and their relationship to pain (54:45) Understanding how the brain generates pain (59:58) Final thoughts (01:07:43) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Andrea Furlan Full episode with Dr. Howard Schubiner This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Manukora Honey.

]]> 6681 Struggling with Low Libido? Your Blood Sugar Could Be to Blame. Top Tips for Boosting Libido with Sex and Metabolic Experts This episode is brought to you by Levels and Maui Nui. When most people think about metabolic health, they think of weight management and steady energy. But here’s what often gets overlooked: metabolic health also plays a major role in sexual function and fertility. Our hormones depend on a delicate balance—and when blood sugar spikes and crashes, that balance gets thrown off. The result? Not just weight gain, mood swings, and fatigue, but also a higher risk of erectile dysfunction, infertility, reduced sexual pleasure, and more. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with experts on how sexual health can reflect your overall metabolic health. Dr. Casey Means explains that blood flow, hormones, and psychology are the three pillars of good sexual function. She shares how diet impacts all three through a hormonal cascade, along with effects on nitric oxide and neurotransmitter production. Dr. Rena Malik dives into the importance of a healthy sex life and the common challenges men and women face—from low libido and hormone imbalances to lifestyle factors that get in the way. She breaks down the science behind sexual health, including the roles of diet, exercise, and orgasms, and unpacks the key roadblocks that can prevent us from experiencing a truly fulfilling sex life. Dr. Casey Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Co-founder of the metabolic health company Levels, and author of Good Energy. Her mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tools that foster a deep understanding of their bodies and support personalized, sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices.

When most people think about metabolic health, they think of weight management and steady energy. But here’s what often gets overlooked: metabolic health also plays a major role in sexual function and fertility. Our hormones depend on a delicate balance—and when blood sugar spikes and crashes, that balance gets thrown off. The result? Not just weight gain, mood swings, and fatigue, but also a higher risk of erectile dysfunction, infertility, reduced sexual pleasure, and more. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with experts on how sexual health can reflect your overall metabolic health. Dr. Casey Means explains that blood flow, hormones, and psychology are the three pillars of good sexual function. She shares how diet impacts all three through a hormonal cascade, along with effects on nitric oxide and neurotransmitter production. Dr. Rena Malik dives into the importance of a healthy sex life and the common challenges men and women face—from low libido and hormone imbalances to lifestyle factors that get in the way. She breaks down the science behind sexual health, including the roles of diet, exercise, and orgasms, and unpacks the key roadblocks that can prevent us from experiencing a truly fulfilling sex life. Dr. Casey Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Co-founder of the metabolic health company Levels, and author of Good Energy. Her mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tools that foster a deep understanding of their bodies and support personalized, sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices.

What You Need to Know About Heart Health and The Root Cause of Plaque Build Up with David Feldman This episode is brought to you by Levels, BiOptimizers, and Birch Living.  Traditionally, elevated LDL has been directly linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. But today’s guest is on a mission to dig deeper. He’s raising both awareness and funding to explore the true relationship between LDL, ApoB, and heart disease—challenging long-held beliefs in the process. He joins us to share the results of his team’s groundbreaking study. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dave Feldman to discuss his team’s landmark study on LDL cholesterol and its implications for cardiovascular health. Dave shares the personal journey that led him to fund this research and what it means for how we approach and treat heart disease. He breaks down the surprising findings on how plaque progression really occurs—and the key questions that still need answers in future studies. Dave also outlines the most effective tests to assess your risk, along with how to interpret your scores based on age. Dave Feldman is a software and platform engineer, entrepreneur, and founder of the Citizen Science Foundation. His life took a radical turn upon seeing his cholesterol skyrocket after adopting a ketogenic diet, and he became obsessed with understanding why this is common with those who are likewise leaner and more metabolically healthy. Through a series of self-experiments and partnering with formal researchers, he has since published the “Lipid Energy Model,” which may explain this phenomenon.

]]> 5662 A Controversial Yet Promising Approach to Cancer: Is This The Future of Cancer Treatment? This episode is brought to you by Levels, Bon Charge, and Ollie, For years, many have believed that cancer is primarily genetic or just bad luck, but emerging research suggests we have far more control over our risk than previously thought. Dr. Thomas Seyfried's groundbreaking work reframes cancer as a metabolic dysfunction, focusing on its root cause rather than just treating symptoms. While controversial, this approach offers new hope for both practitioners and patients seeking alternative strategies for prevention and treatment. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with Dr. Thomas Seyfried and experts from the Hippocrates Research Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to continuing Dr. Seyfried’s work by educating cancer patients on metabolic-based treatment approaches. Dr. Seyfried explores the role of oxidative stress, mitochondrial health, and glucose in cancer development and progression, along with his research on ketogenic diets as a promising solution to correct these imbalances. Den Stacey shares his journey of seeking guidance from the Hippocrates Research Foundation—ultimately becoming cancer-free. The Hippocrates Research Foundation team—Daniel Orrego, Dr. Gregory Howard, and Dr. Michelle Howard—discuss their research and their approach to guiding cancer patients by implementing a protocol designed to starve cancer while fueling the body. Dr. Thomas Seyfried is an American professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry at Boston College. With over 150 peer-reviewed publications, his research focuses on the mechanisms driving cancer, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as the role of calorie-restricted ketogenic diets in their prevention and treatment. He is the author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer and serves on the editorial boards of Nutrition & Metabolism, Neurochemical Research, Journal of Lipid Research, and ASN Neuro. In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into: The role of mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer (04:05) The promise of the ketogenic diet and its impact on cells (09:58) How the ketogenic diet cuts off cancer’s fuel sources (20:37) Den Stacey’s email about his experience with Dr. Seyfried’s protocol (26:54) The Press-Pulse protocol used in Den’s treatment (30:25) The role of stress reduction as a key part of the protocol (35:31) The benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (38:53) Why pharmaceutical drugs and diet should be used in concert (40:47) What an ideal cancer treatment team looks like (46:31) Testing and evaluating the protocol in real-world cases (56:39) Recognizing the success of the case study and the next steps (59:42) Final thoughts (01:02:01) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Thomas Seyfried Full episode with Den Stacey This episode is brought to you by Levels, Bon Charge, and Ollie, Right now, Levels is offering my listeners an additional 2 FREE months of the Levels annual Membership when you use my link, levels.link/DHRU.

Here’s How and Why You Need to Reframe Your Relationship with Stress with Jeff Krasno This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Maui Nui, and Birch Living.  When we think of stress, we often associate it with something negative—something to avoid. Our modern culture has fostered an environment of persistent chronic stress, yet at the same time, we've also eliminated beneficial stress by designing a life of chronic ease. Today's guest joins us to explain why stress isn't just unavoidable—it’s essential for growth. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Jeff Krasno, CEO and co-founder of Commune, to explore the benefits of positive stress in our modern world. Jeff explains why chronic stress harms our health and longevity, while adaptive stress—like fasting and hot/cold exposure—has been key to human evolution and survival. He also shares how to evaluate your protocols, behaviors, and routines to ensure they keep you in balance. Jeff is the co-founder and CEO of Commune, a masterclass platform focused on personal and societal well-being, and the co-creator of Wanderlust, a global series of wellness events. He also hosts the Commune podcast. His latest venture, Good Stress: The Benefits of Doing Hard Things, expands on his personal story and wellness protocols. Drawing from over 400 podcast conversations and his own experiences, the book explores deliberate, self-imposed behaviors that enhance social, psychological, and physical well-being.  In this episode, Dhru and Jeff dive into: How chronic ease is leading to disease (00:37) How to befriend stress (5:44) Jeff’s personal journey and the health challenges that shaped him (09:50) Fasting, hunger, and stress—how they can benefit you (23:34) Fasting recommendations for women and the importance of an individualized approach (26:50) Jeff’s Substack insights on weight loss (32:42) Research on cold plunges, blood glucose, cancer, glutamate, immunotherapy, and more (36:50) The future of health, chronic disease, systemic issues, and the decline of public trust in health and food institutions (43:19) The impact of health podcasts, their practices, and how people are paying attention to new information (56:24) How to lean into stressful conversations—plus tips for tackling them (59:18) Evaluating our protocols, behaviors, and routines—do they help us find balance and return to center (1:19:50) Final thoughts (1:24:45) Also mentioned in this episode: Jeff’s new book - Good Stress: The Health Benefits of Doing Hard Things Commune Podcast  Gabor Mate - Kiyumi retreat Thomas Seyfried's glutamate research KetoPet Sanctuary For more on Jeff, follow him on Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, and his Website.

We used to think circadian rhythm only applied to sleep. But emerging science has revealed a link between our circadian rhythm and metabolism, cognition, risk for chronic diseases, and many other crucial aspects of our health. Our biology was designed to live in sync with a natural light-dark cycle, but modern-day society has disrupted this natural balance.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes with Dr. Satchin Panda. Dr. Panda dives deep into his groundbreaking circadian biology research and shares how leveraging your circadian rhythm can dramatically improve your sleep, lower your risk of chronic disease, and improve your cognitive function. They also discuss how time-restricted eating, exercise, and light can be used to help program your circadian rhythm and why it’s especially important for shift workers to take advantage of these tools.  Dr. Panda is pioneering circadian biology research. He is a professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, a Pew Biomedical Scholar, founder of the UC San Diego Center for Circadian Biology, and recipient of the Julie Martin Mid-Career Award in Aging Research. Dr. Panda has spoken at conferences around the world about his work on circadian rhythms and diabetes, including Diabetes UK, the American Diabetes Association, the Danish Diabetes Association, and the professional diabetes societies of Europe and Australia. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Panda dive into: Why late-night eating is so detrimental to our health (2:15) Organ systems that have a circadian rhythm (8:24) Common ailments that could be related to circadian rhythm disturbances (14:11) Night-shift work and cancer risk (20:19) How poor sleep perpetuates bad food choices (27:00) What happens in the body when you rely on an alarm clock (44:01) Why you need to accumulate sleep debt for better sleep (51:25) Time-restricted eating and sleep (1:00:40) How to combat fragmented sleep (1:15:35) The best time to work out (1:55:50) The link between exercise and cancer (2:07:55) Positive changes for better sleep health on a global scale (2:17:20) Strategies for night-shift workers to combat circadian rhythm disruption 02:45:10) Dr. Panda’s research in firefighters (2:48:46) Tips for optimizing your circadian rhythm (3:14:20) Where to follow and support Dr. Panda's work (3:27:50) Also mentioned in this episode: The Circadian Code: Lose Weight, Supercharge Your Energy, and Transform Your Health from Morning to Midnight The Circadian Diabetes Code: Discover the Right Time to Eat, Sleep, and Exercise to Prevent and Reverse Prediabetes and Diabetes Download the MyCircadianClock app Try This: 6 Crazy Facts About Sleep Try This: How Exercise Helps Fight Cancer For more on Dr. Satchin Panda, follow him on Twitter @SatchinPanda, Instagram @satchin.panda, or his Website.

]]> 12669 Don't Let The Scale Run Your Life: The Power of Focusing on Body Composition This episode is brought to you by Fatty15 and Blueland. When it comes to weight loss, most people rely on the usual strategies—cutting calories and exercising more. But what happens when these methods don’t work? And how do we ensure we’re losing fat, not muscle? It’s time to rethink our approach. Instead of just focusing on the number on the scale, we should prioritize body recomposition—building a stronger, healthier body that supports longevity and resilience as we age. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we bring you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with leading experts on why body composition is more important than your scale weight.  Sal Di Stefano, Mind Pump co-founder and fitness expert, explains why body composition matters more than the number on the scale. He breaks down the most efficient and sustainable ways to exercise and highlights the crucial role muscle plays in overall health. Sal also reveals why lasting motivation for a healthier lifestyle must come from within. By adopting practical, sustainable strategies, we can boost energy, improve well-being, and achieve our fitness goals—all while promoting longevity. JJ Virgin shares her top strategies for weight loss, muscle building, and vibrant aging, emphasizing the power of resistance training for sustained fat loss and the importance of tracking personal goals for long-term motivation. Sal Di Stefano began his fitness journey at just 18, quickly rising to prominence as a trainer and opening some of the largest big-box gyms in the California Bay Area. By 24, he launched a wellness-focused fitness studio that combined expertise in hormones, nutrition, gut health, and fitness training. Today, Sal is a highly sought-after expert known for his practical, easy-to-apply insights. As co-host of the Mind Pump Podcast—the world’s top fitness and health podcast—he’s appeared on hundreds of leading shows and frequently speaks at events for trainers and health practitioners. JJ Virgin is a renowned health and fitness expert, bestselling author, and prominent media personality. With over three decades of experience in the field, she has become a trusted authority in nutrition, weight loss, and wellness. She is the author of four New York Times bestsellers.

]]> 3158 Step Out of Fear and Hive Mindset and Into Nuanced, Free Thinking with Kaizen Asiedu This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Manukora Honey, and Aqua Tru. Political and social discussions have become increasingly divisive today, often leaving little room for nuance or open dialogue. Differing viewpoints are frequently shut down, met with hostility, or dismissed outright, despite the fact that real growth comes from curiosity and engaging with opposing perspectives. Today’s guest joins us to explore the courage it takes to question our beliefs, understand where they come from, and embrace complexity in a world that often demands rigid certainty. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with cultural commentator Kaizen Asiedu to explore the importance of understanding our beliefs, where they come from, and the courage it takes to question them. Kaizen shares his personal journey of challenging lifelong beliefs and embracing alternative perspectives. He also discusses how this willingness to question ideas is often missing in today’s political climate, where fear of dissent has led to tribalism and dehumanization. Additionally, he shares his insights on the MAHA movement, health and wellness discussions, and the concept of antifragility. Kaizen Asiedu is a cultural commentator dedicated to empowering people by simplifying complex political and social issues into messages that leave listeners informed and appreciative of nuance. After earning a philosophy degree from Harvard, he entered the gaming industry, ultimately becoming Head of Global Esports Events at Riot Games. While leading the League of Legends World Championship and winning an Emmy, he felt a growing restlessness—a desire for a deeper, more personal purpose. Today, he helps high achievers who feel burnt out or lost transition from unfulfilling careers to meaningful work, whether as entrepreneurs or in roles that excite them as much as playing their favorite game or reading a beloved book. In this episode, Dhru and Kaizen dive into: Recognizing that you are in the “Matrix” of living a life expected of you (00:00:25) The ideas Kaizen was called to question (2:50) Fear-based conditioning and morality (7:40) RFK’s confirmation hearing and steelmanning concerns about his positions (20:20) The discouragement of open conversations and the rise of cancel culture (30:10) The rejection of humanity and the divisions it has caused (40:36) Red flags that indicate we are stuck in tribalism (44:36) Kaizen’s views that diverge from the current administration (47:46) Kaizen’s personal journey and the significance of "kaizen" in Japanese culture (54:16) The role of psychedelics, mindfulness, and shifting belief systems (58:56) Engaging with people as they are in the present moment (01:07:46) The intersection of lifestyle choices and systemic issues (01:14:46) Respecting alternative viewpoints, embracing different perspectives, and the concept of antifragility (01:19:16) Final thoughts (01:34:46) For more on Kaizen, follow him on Instagram, X/Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube.

He also discusses how this willingness to question ideas is often missing in today’s political climate, where fear of dissent has led to tribalism and dehumanization. Additionally, he shares his insights on the MAHA movement, health and wellness discussions, and the concept of antifragility. Kaizen Asiedu is a cultural commentator dedicated to empowering people by simplifying complex political and social issues into messages that leave listeners informed and appreciative of nuance. After earning a philosophy degree from Harvard, he entered the gaming industry, ultimately becoming Head of Global Esports Events at Riot Games. While leading the League of Legends World Championship and winning an Emmy, he felt a growing restlessness—a desire for a deeper, more personal purpose. Today, he helps high achievers who feel burnt out or lost transition from unfulfilling careers to meaningful work, whether as entrepreneurs or in roles that excite them as much as playing their favorite game or reading a beloved book. In this episode, Dhru and Kaizen dive into: Recognizing that you are in the “Matrix” of living a life expected of you (00:00:25) The ideas Kaizen was called to question (2:50) Fear-based conditioning and morality (7:40) RFK’s confirmation hearing and steelmanning concerns about his positions (20:20) The discouragement of open conversations and the rise of cancel culture (30:10) The rejection of humanity and the divisions it has caused (40:36) Red flags that indicate we are stuck in tribalism (44:36) Kaizen’s views that diverge from the current administration (47:46) Kaizen’s personal journey and the significance of "kaizen" in Japanese culture (54:16) The role of psychedelics, mindfulness, and shifting belief systems (58:56) Engaging with people as they are in the present moment (01:07:46) The intersection of lifestyle choices and systemic issues (01:14:46) Respecting alternative viewpoints, embracing different perspectives, and the concept of antifragility (01:19:16) Final thoughts (01:34:46) For more on Kaizen, follow him on Instagram, X/Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube.

]]> 4254 The Science Behind When To Eat and Other Top Lessons On Circadian Biology This episode is brought to you by Pique Life and Birch Living.  We used to think that the circadian rhythm only affected sleep. However, emerging science shows it’s deeply connected to metabolism, cognition, chronic disease risk, and many other critical aspects of health. Our biology is designed to function in harmony with the natural light-dark cycle, but modern society has significantly disrupted this balance. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we bring you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with leading experts on the critical role circadian rhythms play in our health and well-being. Dr. Satchin Panda delves into his groundbreaking research on circadian biology, revealing how leveraging your circadian rhythm can significantly improve sleep, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and enhance cognitive function. He also shares how time-restricted eating, exercise, and light exposure can help program your circadian rhythm, with a special focus on the importance of these tools for shift workers. Dr. Moore-Ede discusses the dangers of chronic blue light exposure and its profound impact on health, highlighting research that reveals how it disrupts circadian rhythms. He also examines the connection between light exposure and obesity and explains why these risks remain underrepresented in mainstream media. Dr. Satchin Panda, a professor at the Salk Institute and founder of the UC San Diego Center for Circadian Biology, is a leading researcher in circadian biology. Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, a former Harvard Medical School professor and expert in circadian rhythms, has conducted groundbreaking research on light's role in regulating sleep-wake cycles and overall health. In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into: Why when we eat is more important than what we eat (01:38) Effects of chronic late-night eating (08:18) Adverse effect of disrupting our circadian rhythm (16:25) What is sleep debt (19:21) Paying attention to when you eat (30:16) Research on time-restricted eating (34:08) Why sleeping with the lights on is damaging to your health (39:01) Why sun exposure is critical for good health (41:55) Dr. Martin's recommended time for sun exposure (49:28) The link between blue light and obesity (51:42) Master clock of the circadian rhythm, cortisol, melatonin, and others (54:06) Why doctors aren't talking about the harmful effects of blue lights (59:03) Blue lights in hospitals and how they prevent healing (01:04:47) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Satchin Panda Full episode with Dr. Martin Ede-Moore This episode is brought to you by Pique Life and Birch Living.  Right now, Pique Life is offering 20% off the Radiant Skin Duo plus a free beaker and frother when you go to piquelife.com/dhru.

]]> 7619 The Biggest Warning Signs That You Have Fatty Liver and What To Do About It This episode is brought to you by LMNT and Fatty15. By conservative estimates, over half of Americans suffer from insulin resistance—a pathway that can lead to numerous chronic diseases. Fortunately, this is not a one-way street; we have the power to change course and protect our long-term health.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we bring you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with leading experts on the dangers of insulin resistance. Dhru sits down with Kristin Kirkpatrick and Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh to discuss an epidemic affecting one in four people: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its connection to insulin resistance. Kristin and Dr. Hanouneh highlight the most significant risk factors for fatty liver disease, including metabolic dysfunction and diabetes. They also delve into how ultra-processed foods, excessive sugar consumption, and sedentary lifestyles contribute to the rise in NAFLD cases. Additionally, Dr. Morgan Nolte explains why weight gain and insulin resistance are becoming more prevalent and shares actionable strategies to improve our relationship with insulin. She breaks down how insulin resistance changes as we age and emphasizes the transformative power of optimal fiber intake, quality sleep, stress reduction, and strength training in maintaining metabolic health and achieving an ideal weight. Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RDN, is a celebrated author, speaker, and accomplished dietitian with over 25 years of experience. She is a dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic Department of Wellness & Preventive Medicine.  Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh, MD, is a gastroenterologist and hepatologist specializing in liver disease. He served as Chief Gastroenterology Fellow and associate staff at the Cleveland Clinic and later contributed his expertise to Minnesota Gastroenterology and Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Dr. Morgan Nolte is a board-certified clinical specialist in geriatric physical therapy. She recognized a need for preventative education and care that focuses on reversing risk factors instead of just treating symptoms. That led her to focus on developing online courses and coaching programs that help adults reverse insulin resistance for long-term weight loss and disease prevention.

Focusing solely on visible subcutaneous fat can overlook metabolic dysfunction in lean individuals. Addressing visceral fat reveals key drivers of health, paving the way for longevity and optimal well-being.

Dr. Manickam Palaniappan (Dr. Pal) discusses the unique challenges of belly fat and visceral fat within the South Asian population, explaining why individuals in this group should be cautious—even if they have a "normal" lipid profile and are not classified as obese by traditional standards. If you're seeking a deep dive into visceral fat and practical ways to reduce your risk of chronic disease, this episode is for you. Dr. Sean O’Mara works with business executives, professional performers, and athletes who are motivated to optimize their biology through innovative performance-enhancement techniques.  Dr. Ana Claudia Rosa is a physician, radiologist, and medical doctor affiliated with the VA healthcare system.

What if there was one key nutrient that could boost your health, increase longevity, reduce chronic inflammation, and lower your risk of Alzheimer’s? You’ve probably heard of it: omega-3! But here’s the surprising part—over 90% of the population has suboptimal omega-3 levels. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes with Dr. Bill Harris, a world-renowned researcher, to dive into decades of research on omega-3s and their powerful impact on health. Dr. Harris explains the correlation between optimal omega-3 levels and longer life spans, reduced rates of depression, anxiety, and Alzheimer’s, as well as their role in lowering chronic inflammation. As one of the most researched nutrients—and among the top three that can drastically improve health—omega-3s are essential. In this episode, Dr. Harris shares insights on choosing quality fish and supplements, understanding optimal omega-3 levels, and testing your levels through the OmegaQuant Institute. If you’re looking for inspiration to prioritize omega-3s in your diet, this conversation is a must-listen! William S. Harris, PhD, FASN, has been a leading researcher in the field of omega-3 fatty acids for 40 years.

Our minds are incredibly powerful, and our mindset and thoughts profoundly influence our health, manifestations, and actions. However, when faced with challenges or stuck in repetitive patterns, knowing how to break free from negative thoughts or tendencies can be difficult.

By conservative estimates, at least 88% of people have insulin resistance, which significantly impacts brain health and the brain’s ability to produce energy. In today’s episode, I’m sharing some of the latest research on brain health, the critical role of mitochondria in maintaining optimal brain function, and how insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction can disrupt mitochondria, leading to poor brain health.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we have a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with guests on how inflammation affects both metabolic and brain health. Dr. Georgia Ede explains why oxidative stress and insulin resistance have surged with the rise of refined carbohydrates and seed oils. Dr. Chris Palmer shares the latest research on how mitochondria influence neurotransmitter production, hormone regulation, and gene expression—and what can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction. Hannah Warren discusses her journey to overcome mental illness by applying Dr. Palmer’s Brain Energy theory and using ketosis to rejuvenate mitochondria.

]]> 4891 Neurologist Reveals The 3 Shocking Reasons Why Parkinson's Disease & Other Brain Disorders Are On The Rise (Rebroadcast) This episode is brought to you by Bioptimizers, Momentous, and Lumebox.  We know that environmental toxins can lead to higher rates of chronic disease. According to today’s guest, some of these same toxins—many of which are still highly prevalent—can directly increase your risk of developing Parkinson's disease and possibly other brain disorders. If you're interested in prevention and reducing your exposure to these toxins, this episode is for you. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes with neurologist Dr. Ray Dorsey, where we dive into the root causes of Parkinson's disease and how environmental toxins, such as trichloroethylene (TCE), dramatically increase our risk of developing it. Dr. Dorsey shares decades of research explaining why Parkinson’s is on the rise, how toxins impact our mitochondria, and the role of misfolded proteins in the disease. He also offers practical steps to limit exposure, especially from an early age, and outlines lifestyle and dietary interventions to reduce the risk of developing Parkinson’s. Dr. Ray Dorsey is a neurologist and researcher known for his groundbreaking work in the field of Parkinson's disease. In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Dorsey has significantly contributed to Parkinson's disease research. His work on the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) and other research projects has advanced the field's knowledge and treatment options. Dr. Dorsey also co-authored the groundbreaking book Ending Parkinson's Disease: A Prescription for Action.  In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Dorsey dive into: The three environmental toxins responsible for the rise in Parkinson’s disease (2:06)  What is trichloroethylene (TCE) and how toxins impact mitochondria (3:15)  Dr. Dorsey’s journey in learning about the role of toxins in developing chronic disease (15:19)   The importance of both outdoor and indoor air quality for longevity (17:52)   The earliest cases of Parkinson’s disease and the link between pesticides and Parkinson’s (27:58)  The research around toxins and Parkinson’s disease as a largely preventable disease (32:12) What individuals should be thinking about to prevent Parkinson’s disease (41:07) The role of misfolded proteins (46:20)  How exposure during early periods in life can impact the development of Parkinson’s (53:58)  A map of the areas contaminated by trichloroethylene (57:53)  Testing and the importance of minimizing additional exposure (1:04:13)  Dry cleaning and exposure to toxins (1:13:54)  The role of exercise in prevention and for anyone diagnosed with Parkinson’s (1:24:14) Resistance around the role that toxins play in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s (1:27:28) Also mentioned in this episode: Dr. Dorsey’s book  Ending Parkinson’s Disease The Parkinson's Project For more on Dr. Dorsey, follow him on Twitter and this website.  This episode is brought to you by Bioptimizers, Momentous, and Lumebox.  Upgrade your digestion with enzymes!

These toxins can be found not only in products absorbed through our skin but also in the air we breathe and the water we drink.

The healthcare system is flawed, and the focus on true health seems misplaced within the traditional system. What’s at the root of this broken system and the advice being given to the public? Today’s guest is here to share his expertise on the healthcare system and highlight its Blind Spots. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Marty Makary to discuss how decisions in healthcare are often made by a small, centralized group based on dogma rather than actual scientific evidence. Dr. Makary explains how this groupthink mentality has led to a reluctance to consider alternative opinions and a fear among physicians of being labeled if they criticize these decisions. He provides examples of how such decisions have resulted in poor outcomes and eroded public trust.

He serves as a professor of Surgery and Health Policy at Johns Hopkins University, where he has led initiatives to improve the quality of healthcare delivery.

]]> 5285 Biological Dentist Reveals Hidden Dangers: The Connection Between Root Canals, Poor Dental Work, and Chronic Disease This episode is brought to you by Thesis, Cozy Earth, and Lumebox.   We don’t always consider that chronic disease and overall health can start with oral health, but biological dentists know that optimal health and gut health begins in the mouth. Root canals are a controversial topic because, while they are often necessary, they can become a source of bacterial buildup, potentially leading to chronic infection. Today’s guest is here to share his expertise as a biological dentist and guide anyone who has undergone or will undergo dental procedures, including root canals, toward optimal long-term health. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with biological dentist Dr. Dominik Nischwitz to discuss the link between root canals, chronic inflammation, and chronic disease. Dr. Dome explains how and why root canals and tooth extractions can create spaces for bacteria to accumulate and highlight uncommon symptoms that may indicate an infection. He also distinguishes between biological and traditional dentists, shedding light on the knowledge gap hindering a holistic approach. Additionally, Dr. Dome and Dhru discuss why gut health begins in the mouth and offer steps to prevent bacterial buildup during dental procedures. Dr. Dominik Nischwitz is the world's leading biological dentist and one of the first ceramic implant specialists. He is the vice president of the International Society for Metal-Free Implantology. Dr. Dome is an international speaker and author with the goal of establishing bio dentistry 3.0 as the new standard for health optimization protocols for all health practitioners and dentists alike using the term "optimal health starts in your mouth." Dr. Dome trains traditional dentists in proper biological dentistry practices and believes optimal health starts in the mouth. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Dome dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): The Issue with Root Canals (00:00:35 / 00:00:35) Symptoms Associated with Incorrectly Done Root Canals (3:27 / 3:27)  The Controversy: Traditional vs. Biological Dentistry (5:38 / 5:38) Why Root Canals Are Recommended (20:46 / 15:13) What to Do if a Root Canal Is Recommended (25:18 / 19:45) Gut Health Starts in the Mouth (31:53 / 26:20) Autoimmune Conditions and Chronic Infection (41:19 / 35:46) Cavitation (47:30 / 41:30) Correctly Done Root Canals (1:09:00 / 1:04:00) Dr. Dome’s Personal Journey (1:19:18 / 1:14:00) Also mentioned in this episode: Supreme Oral Health  Dr. Dome's Clinic  Directory of Biological Dentists Trained by Dr. Dom To learn more about Dr. Dome, follow him on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, or his website.  This episode is brought to you by Thesis, Cozy Earth, and Lumebox.  Right now, Thesis is offering my community $60 off your first subscription.

]]> 4891 PhD Shares One of the Most Critical Antioxidants in the World for Longevity, Gut Health, Sleep, and Disease Prevention with Dr. Deanna Minich This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge, Lifeforce, and Lumebox.  What if we told you there’s a holy grail of molecules that can prevent early aging, promote longevity, and help prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s? This super powerful hormone, neurotransmitter, and antioxidant is melatonin. Today’s episode is a masterclass on melatonin and its crucial role in our bodies. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Deanna Minich to discuss the crucial role of melatonin in our body as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and circadian regulator. Dr. Minich reveals early warning signs of low melatonin levels and lifestyle habits that can disrupt its production. She also covers the latest research on melatonin and critical considerations for supplementation. If you are looking for a deep dive into melatonin, this episode is for you.  Dr. Deanna Minich is a nutrition researcher, educator, and functional medicine-trained clinician with a unique approach to nutrition that combines physiology and psychology. She has served on the Institute of Functional Medicine’s Nutrition Advisory Board and curriculum committee and is a faculty member teaching nutrition for the Advanced Practice Module for Environmental Health. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the American Nutrition Association and is President of the American College of Nutrition.  In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Minich dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): The Crucial Role Melatonin Plays In the Body (00:00:33 / 00:00:33) Early Warning Signs That Your Melatonin Is Low (2:22 / 2:22) Melatonin Production and The Circadian System (9:35 / 6:15) Brain Health and Preventing Alzheimer’s (13:06 / 9:46) Lifestyle Habits That Disrupt Melatonin and Corrective Measures (17:34 / 14:14) Melatonin Supplements and Synthetic Production and Testing (29:16 / 24:15) The Research: What We Know (38:00 / 33:00) How Melatonin Is Made (43:00 / 38:00) Who Should and Should Not Take Melatonin (50:41 / 45:40) The Rebound Effect (1:02:00 / 57:00)  Melatonin As a Routine Supplement (1:06:30 / 1:01:30) Personalization For Your Phenotype (1:10:50 / 1:05:50) *Dr. Minich’s note about the animal study mentioned: Seasonal breeders, like mice, use changing light and melatonin to regulate reproduction. In animals living in cold climates like Canada, breeding is timed with daylight changes to avoid winter births when conditions are harsh.

]]> 5976 Scientist Explains The Powerful Role Of Nitric Oxide In Preventing Alzheimer’s Disease And How To Protect Our Brains With Nathan Bryan, PhD This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Fatty15, and Birch Living. Cardiovascular disease still ranks as the leading cause of death for both men and women. Surprisingly, half of those affected show no symptoms before an event. Low levels of nitric oxide—a molecule that promotes vasodilation and smooth blood flow—could be primarily responsible. By recognizing the signs of deficiency, we can raise our levels and lower our risk. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down for round two with Dr. Nathan Bryan to discuss why nitric oxide is the holy grail of molecules for long-term health. Dr. Bryan shares the four hallmarks of disease, the consequences of antacid overuse, and the correlation between lower nitric oxide and the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Bryan also explains which lifestyle factors can hinder and boost nitric oxide production, how to test your levels, and symptoms that signal a deficiency. Dr. Nathan Bryan is a renowned biomedical researcher known for his groundbreaking work on nitric oxide (NO) biology. Dr. Bryan's research has significantly advanced our understanding of NO's critical roles in cardiovascular health, immune function, and neurobiology. Beyond academia, he advocates for public health, translating his research into practical solutions for improving human health.   In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Bryan dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): Nitric oxide as the holy grail molecule (00:00:02 / 00:00:02) Four hallmarks of disease (1:01 / 1:01)  Antacid medications: lack of research and the consequences of extended use (4:41 / 4:41) Lower nitric oxide and the risk of Alzheimer’s (14:00 / 10:45) Lifestyle habits that contribute to Alzheimer’s and biomarkers to check (17:15 /13:01) What is nitric oxide and its core role in our bodies (27:00  / 23:39) Lifestyle factors that hinder nitric oxide production (33:00 / 28:22)  Nitric oxide and high blood pressure (46:00 / 41:04)  Filtering water in your home and oral dysbiosis (51:00 / 46:30) Navigating antacid medication usage and tapering off (1:11:00 / 1:06:50) Testing nitric oxide level production (1:15:00 / 1:10:06) The role of stress on our nitric oxide levels (1:29:00 / 1:24:53) Foods that support production and supplementation (1:32:00 / 1:27:10) Final thoughts: (1:44:00 / 1:39:40)  Also mentioned in this episode: N1O1.com (get 10% off any of Dr. Bryan’s nitric oxide products with the code DHRU)  Bryan Therapeutics EWG Fygg Toothpaste  For more on Dr. Bryan, follow him on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and through his website,    Right now, get 30% off your Cozy Earth sheets.

Learn the basic biomarkers we should all assess and simple ways to improve our mitochondrial and metabolic health, reducing our chances of developing a chronic disease.  Casey Means, MD, is a Stanford-trained physician and co-founder of Levels, a health technology company with the mission of reversing the world’s metabolic health crisis.

]]> 5895 Longevity Expert Andy Galpin Shares the Number One Predictor of Health-span, And It’s Not What You Think! This episode is brought to you by Birch Living, Lifeforce, and Plunge.  We’ve heard of tests that are used as traditional measures of longevity. Still, a lesser-known but equally important test that should be factored into longevity and long-term independence is VO2 max. This test measures how well your body uses oxygen during exercise, which ultimately translates into how efficiently your body uses oxygen in daily activities as you age. According to today’s guest, increasing VO2 max can significantly reduce your risk of all-cause mortality.  Today, on the Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Andy Galpin to dive deep into VO2 max and why he believes it is one of the best predictors of longevity. Dr. Galpin breaks down the research behind this test and why it's critical for everyone to know their VO2 max baseline. He also shares why a low VO2 max can cause chronic fatigue, making it challenging to engage in daily activities, and shares his top tips on increasing your VO2 max if you are starting your exercise journey. If you are looking for a deep dive into VO2 Max, this episode is a must-listen.  Andy Galpin is a tenured professor at California State University, Fullerton.

Still, a lesser-known but equally important test that should be factored into longevity and long-term independence is VO2 max. This test measures how well your body uses oxygen during exercise, which ultimately translates into how efficiently your body uses oxygen in daily activities as you age. According to today’s guest, increasing VO2 max can significantly reduce your risk of all-cause mortality.  Today, on the Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Andy Galpin to dive deep into VO2 max and why he believes it is one of the best predictors of longevity. Dr. Galpin breaks down the research behind this test and why it's critical for everyone to know their VO2 max baseline. He also shares why a low VO2 max can cause chronic fatigue, making it challenging to engage in daily activities, and shares his top tips on increasing your VO2 max if you are starting your exercise journey. If you are looking for a deep dive into VO2 Max, this episode is a must-listen.  Andy Galpin is a tenured professor at California State University, Fullerton.

Women can spend up to 40% of their lives in menopause, and we know that they often experience changes in their mood, cognition, and overall brain health during this time. But these changes aren’t discussed openly or discussed with no helpful solutions, leaving women feeling hopeless, alone, or unsupported. Today’s guest is a brain researcher here to shed light on the changes during this time and what we can do to support women entering this phase. 


Today, on the Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Lisa Mosconi to discuss what happens to a woman’s brain when she goes through menopause and the connection to Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Mosconi shares how to care for women’s brains during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, how to prevent dementia and the lifestyle habits that can help women navigate the transition into menopause. 


Lisa Mosconi, PhD, is an associate professor of neuroscience in neurology and radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine and the director of the Women’s Brain Initiative and the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. She is also the New York Times bestselling author of The XX Brain and Brain Food.

]]> 3894 no Debunking Health Myths: Digging into the Truth About LDL Cholesterol, Heart Disease, & Keto Diet with Dave Feldman https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/debunking-health-myths-digging-into-the-truth-about-ldl-chol The current thoughts around LDL cholesterol center on the fact that there is no scenario in which high LDL numbers could occur in healthy individuals. Traditionally, the belief is high levels of LDL can lead to a greater risk of cardiovascular disease regardless of metabolic health. Today’s guest is here to share his hypothesis and research on how higher cholesterol levels in metabolically fit individuals could be a physiological response rather than a pathological response that can lead to disease.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dave Feldman to discuss high levels of LDL in metabolically healthy individuals. Dave shares the current research on high LDL and cardiovascular disease in individuals eating a ketogenic diet. He also shares his personal approach to focusing on metabolic health and the key markers critical to overall health. Dave discusses the process and findings of the Oreo experiment conducted by his colleague and explains why this experiment further proves their hypothesis on how LDL particles move through the body.  Dave Feldman is a software and platform engineer, entrepreneur, and founder of the Citizen Science Foundation. Through a series of self-experiments and partnering with formal researchers, he has since published the "Lipid Energy Model," which may explain this phenomenon.  In this episode, Dhru and Dave dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): Dave’s hypothesis on LDL (00:24 /00:24) Rethinking our approach to high LDL (2:17 / 2:17)  The research on high LDL and cardiovascular disease (10:00 / 6:48)  The Oreo experiment and what it shows about fat adaptation (17:23 / 13:45) The pushback to lean mass hyper responder (27:36 / 24:15)  Soft plaque versus hard plaque and the risk of cardiovascular disease (37:50 / 35:04)  Dave’s personal approach in focusing on overall metabolic health (51:42 / 48:30)  Fasting Insulin and Vitamin D (59:33 / 53:45)  Endothelial health and cardiovascular health (1:03:28 / 57:45)  The vegan’s twin study and the correlation to LDL (1:21:17 / 1:15:49) Dhru’s experience (1:32:17 / 1:26:36)  Also mentioned in this episode: Citizen Science Foundation  Oreo Cookie Treatment Nicolas Norwitz, PhD Twitter  This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Momentous, and Lumebox.  Right now, LMNT is offering my listeners a free sample pack with any purchase.

Traditionally, the belief is high levels of LDL can lead to a greater risk of cardiovascular disease regardless of metabolic health. Today’s guest is here to share his hypothesis and research on how higher cholesterol levels in metabolically fit individuals could be a physiological response rather than a pathological response that can lead to disease.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dave Feldman to discuss high levels of LDL in metabolically healthy individuals. Dave shares the current research on high LDL and cardiovascular disease in individuals eating a ketogenic diet.

]]> 5599 no The True Root Cause of Chronic Pain and How To Manage it Using the Latest Science with Dr. Howard Schubiner https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/with-dr-howard-schubiner This episode is brought to you by Vivobarefoot and AquaTru.  Chronic pain impacts millions of people, and yet traditional methods focus solely on pain management, failing to address the root cause of the pain. Today’s guest is here to share a groundbreaking approach to treating pain, revealing that the brain creates pain as a signal of an underlying emotional issue that needs to be addressed, and treatment can be achieved by rewiring our brains.  Today, on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Howard Schubiner to discuss why chronic pain is more prevalent and how it is connected to our brains. Dr. Schubiner explains why the current approach to pain management is flawed and why Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy has been clinically proven to be more effective in treating chronic pain compared to traditional forms of treatment. He also explores how adverse childhood experiences can trigger chronic pain later in life and how we can rewire our brains, ultimately changing our response to pain. Dr. Howard Schubiner is an internist, pediatrician, and the Mind-Body Medicine Center director at Ascension Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan. He is a clinical professor at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine and has authored more than 100 publications in scientific journals and books, including three books, Unlearn Your Pain.  In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Schubiner dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): Why back pain has doubled in the last twenty years (2:24 / 2:24) What is pain in the body (5:36 / 5:36)  The current approach to pain and pain management is broken (11:13 / 8:55)  The Symptom Perception Model and its effectiveness (18:30 / 16:09) Incentives that lead to failure in the system (20:03 / 17:45) Why MRIs don’t provide a complete picture of the pain (25:00 / 23:07) Adverse childhood experiences and the relationship to pain (31:50 / 28:00) Awareness of how the brain generates pain (37:15 / 33:09) Tools for assessing and combating pain (44:51 / 40:54)  Pain reprocessing therapy: Changing your response to the pain (51:38 / 47:46)  What is Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (59:50 / 56:00)  Next steps on addressing chronic pain (1:21:00 / 1:17:13)   Also mentioned in this episode: Unlearn Your Pain website Reign of Pain  PPD/TMS Peer Network Curable App Cure of Chronic Pain Let your feet do their natural thing, and upgrade your shoes.

What if there was one key nutrient that could help improve your health, increase longevity, reduce chronic inflammation, and even reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s?

But did you know that over 90% of the population has suboptimal omega-3 levels?  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Bill Harris, a world-renowned researcher, to discuss the decades of research he has conducted on omega-3s, and its correlation to longer life spans, reduced rates of depression, anxiety, and Alzheimer’s, and reducing chronic inflammation.

As we head into the New Year, many of us may focus on improving our lifestyles, diet, and movement habits. No matter your goals for 2024, we know that having a deeper understanding of how our brain works and what we can do to optimize our ability to achieve those goals is critical.  Unfortunately, our modern lifestyles are full of distractions and we are often bombarded with information and access to choices, which often make us anxious and make it difficult to focus on what we truly need. How do we empower ourselves to focus on what truly matters, achieve our goals, and protect our brains from being hijacked in the process? Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with psychiatrist, speaker, and author Dr. Anders Hansen to discuss key lifestyle practices that can protect our brain and focus.

He also shares practical tips we can implement to bring awareness to our defense mechanisms and thrive in our current world.  Dr. Anders Hansen is a psychiatrist, speaker, award-winning author, and TV host.  His books, The Attention Fix, The Happiness Cure, and The Mind-Body Method, have sold several million copies and topped bestseller lists worldwide.  In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Hansen dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): How our modern world hijacks our brain and interferes with our longevity goals (2:57 / 2:57) The distractions that we love but don’t love us back (9:40 / 6:39 ) How we experience stress versus our ancestors and what can help you thrive (12:37 / 9:51) Protecting your focus and thriving (17:50 / 14:50)  The role of movement, the natural tendency to be lazy, and the defense mechanism against starvation (21:02 / 17:50) The overabundance of sugar in our diets  (26:11/ 23:11)  Misconceptions about our brain with our modern lifestyles (30:31 / 27:29) Inadequate sleep and how it impacts our brain and creativity (36:07 / 33:02) The impact of smartphones on our brain (40:51 / 37:45)  Dr. Hansen’s experience with a hunter-gatherer tribe in Kenya (42:37 / 39:37) Spending time with your community and the effect on our brain (55:26 / 52:20)  Why is connection so critical, and how loneliness impacts your health (1:03:00 / 1:00:49) Simple actions to help us step into true fulfillment and protect our brains (1:10:30 / 1:07:36) Also mentioned in this episode: The Happiness Cure The Attention Fix Right now, get 40% off your Cozy Earth sheets.

]]> 4696 no "Hidden Mold Was Slowly Killing Me!” - How Kristina Baehr Discovered the Root Cause of Her Mystery Chronic Illness and Uncovered a Massive Cover-Up Attempt https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/with-kristina-baehr This episode is brought to you by Butcher Box and Lifeforce. We know that environmental toxins in our air and water can cause chronic disease. Mold is one of those deadly toxins, and exposure can cause symptoms that can’t be explained by traditional testing or by doctors who are unfamiliar with how symptoms may present themselves. Those suffering exposure can often feel hopeless and unsupported. In addition, there is often no accountability for the experts or individuals who either intentionally or negligently caused the mold exposure. Today’s guest hopes to change that.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with attorney Kristina Baehr about her family's personal experience with toxic mold and their journey to seek justice for the emotional, medical, and financial damages they suffered. Kristina shared what she learned about their symptoms, how her home had become a toxic bubble, and the lack of accountability on each party involved in the home building and inspection process.  Kristina also shares why she started her law firm and made it her mission to help individuals suffering from exposure to environmental toxins, and discusses the facts of the Red Hill case in Hawaii, where military families were exposed to water contaminated with jet fuel.    Kristina Baehr is a national trial lawyer representing sick people against the companies that made them sick. She founded Just Well Law to help clients recover financially to rebuild their health and lives. Kristina is also a former Assistant US Attorney and represented the United States in civil actions, including catastrophic personal injury.  In this episode, Dhru and Kristina dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): The epidemic of chronic disease caused by water and mold and the cover-up efforts (3:54 / 3:54)  What Kristina and her family learned about mold (6:47 / 6:47)  How Kristina’s house became toxic, causing her family symptoms and permanent damage (12:21 / 13:27)  Accountability through the legal process (20:44 / 18:20)  Status quo, conspiracy, and lack of accountability (22:00 / 19:46)  The verdict in Kristina’s family’s case (29:14 / 27:00)  The team that helped Kristina discover her diagnosis (42:30 / 40:02) Kristina’s commitment to paying it forward and starting Just Well law (47:40 / 44:44) The symptoms families in Hawaii faced after ingesting jet fuel (51:44 / 48:57) Why the government chose to protect itself rather than protecting military families (54:30 / 51:50) Lack of responsibility and passing the buck in the Red Hill matter (57:44 / 54:53) Kristina’s practice and the types of cases she focuses on (1:04:40 / 1:02:03)  For more on Kristina, you can follow her on Instagram @justwelllaw, and through her website https://www.well.law/.

]]> 6382 no Super Charge Your 2024 Goals and Intentions with my Step-by-Step Gratitude Workshop https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/gratitude-hack-workshop-with-dhru Today on the Dhru Purohit Podcast, I share a simple gratitude practice to help supercharge and accelerate your goals and dreams.  At the end of the year, many of us set New Year’s resolutions or intentions for how we want the next year to go. I see an interesting pattern as people start to list their goals, dreams, habits, and the things they want to give attention and energy to. But this process often involves focusing on what is lacking and the areas where they feel they are not enough.  Today, I share three questions to ask ourselves before we set our goals, which I call a palette cleanse, that will help us remember that no matter how we feel we did at the end of the month or year, we did the best we could. It also allows us to remember how supported we were and what we did to help other people. Here is the practice  No matter how big or small… 1) What’s something tough or challenging that I did this month? 2) Who’s someone who did something for me? 3) What’s something nice I did for someone else? Remembering these three things changes your vibration for what you think is possible and takes you out of negativity bias into positivity bias.   In this episode, Dhru dives into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): Why this gratitude practice is key (1:09 / 1:09) Negativity bias (10:45 / 8:10) Threats to our mental health (12:25  / 9:55) Deprogram negativity (13:10 / 11:30) Our brains as detectives (16:27 / 13:55) Gratitude as mediation on the goodness in our lives (17:51 /15:00) The Science of Gratitude (22:22  / 17:45) Deep diving into the Gratitude Protocol (27:15 / 22:57) How to implement the Gratitude Protocol (40:20 / 35:58) Also mentioned in today’s episode: Episode with Dr. Tara Swart Episode with Bruce Lipton Episode with Gottmans Newsletter on Gratitude and Research For more on Dhru Purohit, be sure to follow him on Instagram @dhrupurohit, on Facebook @dhruxpurohit, on Twitter @dhrupurohit, and YouTube @dhrupurohit.

]]> 2949 no How to Talk About Politics and Other Difficult Topics without Losing Your Friends or Selling Your Soul with Denise Gitsham https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/how-to-talk-about-politics-and-other-difficult-topics-withou This episode is brought to you by Whoop, Beekeepers, and Cozy Earth.  Nowadays, discussions around politics and viewpoints have become increasingly divisive and hostile. Often, differing perspectives are immediately shut down or met with personal attacks, even when we know that progress and growth come from listening to other viewpoints and approaching topics with curiosity.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with his good friend and author Denise Gitsham to discuss politics, polarization, and critical thinking. Denise shares experiences and lessons she learned while working at the highest levels of the federal government and how those experiences helped her change her mindset. Dhru and Denise discuss the importance of listening with curiosity and engaging with people with differing viewpoints to seek out the truth. They also discuss how polarization has disrupted civility and what we can do to bring it back to our conversations even when we disagree.  Denise is the founder of Vitamin D Public Relations, a boutique communications firm that operates at the intersection of law, policy, politics, and the media. She has worked at the highest levels of the federal government, including the White House, the US Department of Justice, and the US Senate, and she's also run for Congress. A recovering attorney and long-time politico, Denise's passion is bridging division and fostering unity by emphasizing principles over partisanship. She recently released her first book, "Politics for People Who Hate Politics: How to Engage Without Losing Your Friends or Selling Your Soul."  In this episode, Dhru and Denise dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): Why it’s important to engage with people from different political views and backgrounds (5:10 / 5:10) The true story about polarization (6:23 / 6:23)  The importance of skepticism and critical thinking in seeking the truth (19:17 / 16:53) How opinions are more visible (29:52 / 27:10)  Why people are so triggered in day-to-day conversations (31:40 / 28:50) How do you stay informed by staying curious (37:00 / 32:33 ) The importance of having multiple perspectives  (39:45 / 36:00) Yearning for unity (53:50 / 49:30)  Purposely engaging with people who have different viewpoints (57:43 / 53:15) The Third Option and committing to what is in the best interest of us  (1:13:48 / 1:09:36)  Bringing humanity back into the conversation (1:28:34 / 1:24:20)  Where to follow Denise (1:35:05 / 1:30:54)  Also mentioned in this episode: Politics For People Who Hate Politics  WHOOP is a personalized digital fitness tracker.

Denise shares experiences and lessons she learned while working at the highest levels of the federal government and how those experiences helped her change her mindset. Dhru and Denise discuss the importance of listening with curiosity and engaging with people with differing viewpoints to seek out the truth. They also discuss how polarization has disrupted civility and what we can do to bring it back to our conversations even when we disagree.  Denise is the founder of Vitamin D Public Relations, a boutique communications firm that operates at the intersection of law, policy, politics, and the media. She has worked at the highest levels of the federal government, including the White House, the US Department of Justice, and the US Senate, and she's also run for Congress. A recovering attorney and long-time politico, Denise's passion is bridging division and fostering unity by emphasizing principles over partisanship. She recently released her first book, "Politics for People Who Hate Politics: How to Engage Without Losing Your Friends or Selling Your Soul."  In this episode, Dhru and Denise dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): Why it’s important to engage with people from different political views and backgrounds (5:10 / 5:10) The true story about polarization (6:23 / 6:23)  The importance of skepticism and critical thinking in seeking the truth (19:17 / 16:53) How opinions are more visible (29:52 / 27:10)  Why people are so triggered in day-to-day conversations (31:40 / 28:50) How do you stay informed by staying curious (37:00 / 32:33 ) The importance of having multiple perspectives  (39:45 / 36:00) Yearning for unity (53:50 / 49:30)  Purposely engaging with people who have different viewpoints (57:43 / 53:15) The Third Option and committing to what is in the best interest of us  (1:13:48 / 1:09:36)  Bringing humanity back into the conversation (1:28:34 / 1:24:20)  Where to follow Denise (1:35:05 / 1:30:54)  Also mentioned in this episode: Politics For People Who Hate Politics  WHOOP is a personalized digital fitness tracker.

Our minds are incredibly powerful, and we know our mindset and thoughts can influence our health, manifestations, and actions. But when we face challenges or engage in repetitive patterns, it's difficult to know the steps we need to take to liberate ourselves from negative thoughts or tendencies. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with biologist and world-renowned author Bruce Lipton. Bruce shows us how our minds are like computers and discusses how most of our programming comes from watching our environment before the age of seven and can often include self-sabotaging behaviors. Bruce shares tips on how we can become aware of our dysfunctional programming and empower ourselves to manifest the life we intentionally want to create. He also breaks down the difference between the subconscious mind, which allows us to function on autopilot, and the conscious mind, which involves thinking with intention and purpose. Bruce deep dives into the science behind action versus reaction, how it impacts our health, and the steps we can take to prevent illness and promote longevity. Bruce Lipton is a stem cell biologist and best selling author. His research challenges the traditional view that genes determine our biological destiny and suggests that our perceptions and experiences play a crucial role in shaping our health. In this episode, Dhru and Bruce dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): 95% of our life comes from programming outside of our own (3:20 / 3:20) Where we get our programming from and how it is similar to being under hypnosis (10:00 /10:00)  Why 60% of the programs we have downloaded for our mind are dysfunctional (20:06 / 17:35) How we actively created our problems and what we can do to fix them (21:56 / 18:49) How we spend most of our time reacting rather than intentionally acting (34:12 / 29:00) 90% of illness is from stress (37:41 / 32:00) Function of the mind: Making coherence between beliefs and reality (56:04 / 51:22) Belief in the inevitability of aging (1:00:20 / 55:53)  The programming that Bruce came into and how he deprogrammed his mind (1:09:29 / 1:05:11)  Three avenues to reprogram your mind (1:16:22 /1:11:56) Also mentioned in this episode: Calm App Division of Perceptual Studies Access more than 3,000 specialty lab tests with Rupa Health.

You've likely encountered countless weight loss strategies leaving you overwhelmed and unsure of the best path to take. But the reality is shedding those extra pounds doesn't have to be a complicated ordeal. Embracing just a few key principles can transform our bodies, melting away fat and sculpting lean muscle.

However, when foods are ultra-processed, they can create glutamate in excess amounts, which, when overly consumed, can cause symptoms associated with anxiety, ADHD, Autism, and increase chronic inflammation in our body.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Katherine Reid to discuss glutamate, its link to monosodium glutamate, and the alarming amount created in our food supply through processed proteins.  Dr. Katherine Reid earned her PhD in biochemistry, specifically focusing on protein chemistry. She switched focus soon after her daughter was diagnosed with autism and discovered that reducing MSG in the diet managed many of her daughter’s symptoms. Dr. Reid is the founder of Unblind My Mind, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to improving health through informed food choices, and now works closely with the public, including the medical community, to devise food solutions for people suffering from a wide variety of chronic inflammatory conditions. She is also the author of the newly released book Fat, Stressed, and Sick: MSG, Processed Food, and America’s Health Crisis.

As we age and start to experience subtle shifts in our bodies, we might notice more swollenness in our joints and puffiness in our faces and generally feel more lethargic and less mentally sharp. These are telltale signs of chronic inflammation that could be linked to high levels of visceral fat—the “hidden fat” that’s stored deep inside our organs.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Sean O’Mara for a deep dive into the dangers of visceral fat, what foods and lifestyle factors promote visceral fat production, and how we can take steps to lower our levels to prevent chronic disease and prolong our life span.  Dr. Sean O’Mara works with business executives, professional performers, and athletes motivated to optimize their biology through innovative techniques of performance enhancement. Dr. O'Mara was the founder of an innovative medical start-up in Minneapolis, MN, called Lantu, which focuses on health and performance optimization. Dr. O'Mara and his team used cutting-edge data analytics to glean insights to identify and leverage innovative biometrics of health, the human genome, and the microbiome. He has over a decade of experience evaluating and reversing chronic disease.

Conventional medicine takes a “wait and see” approach to health and disease, which leads to poor health outcomes for patients and their family members. Thankfully, new advancements in science and technology are allowing us to become more proactive than reactive by gaining a deeper look into our health and risk for chronic disease. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Andrew Lacy to discuss the latest tool in early cancer detection and chronic disease prevention, Prenuvo.  In this episode, Dhru and Andrew discuss how Prenuvo uses anatomical and functional imaging to help us become aware of what’s happening inside our bodies so that we can feel empowered to be proactive about the future of our health. Andrew Lacy is the founder and CEO of Prenuvo, a revolutionary new MRI scan that uses AI technology to detect early signs of various cancers and diseases. It also detects visceral fat and various other anatomical and structural components integral to our health so that patients can feel empowered to take control over their health.  Andrew is a product technologist with extensive experience taking transformative digital products from conception to launch in startups and large corporations. He holds an MBA from Stanford University and a Patent and International Law degree from the University of Melbourne. He’s passionate about using technology to help our healthcare system shift from one focused on treating disease to one focused on prevention. In this episode, Dhru and Andrew dive into: (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): -What Prenuvo is, what it tests for, and how its innovating preventative medicine (1:29 / 1:29) -The science and technology behind Prenuvo for early cancer detection and chronic disease prevention (4:27 / 4:27) -What makes the Prenuvo experience different from traditional medical offices (16:37 / 14:00) -Advantages and limitations of the Prenuvo scan (19:36 / 16:37) -Unpacking Dhru’s test results (34:28 / 30:40 ) -How Prenovo empowers patients to take a proactive approach to their health (42:00 / 37:50 ) -The various conditions Prenuvo can detect and how it compares to other tests (54:18 / 50:30) -Cost breakdown and accessibility (1:02:33 / 58:58) -Kim Kardashian and other celebrity figures that endorse Prenuvo (1:15:10 / 1:11:27) Also mentioned in this episode: -Get $300 off Prenuvo promo code for your listeners: prenuvo.com/dhru (not an affiliate link) -Learn more about Prenuvo at prenuvo.com.

]]> 5389 no The Best and Worst Shoes for Chronic Pain with Galahad Clark https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/how-most-shoes-contribute-to-chronic-pain-and-what-to-do-abo This episode is brought to you by Beekeepers Naturals and LMNT. Are chronic aches in your knees, back, or neck holding you back? Contrary to widespread belief, this is not a normal part of aging. Many factors contribute to chronic pain, but one unspoken area could be a part of the problem: your shoes.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Galahad Clark to discuss how our modern-day footwear could be an overlooked area contributing to chronic pain. Dhru and Galahad discuss how conventional shoes restrict our feet's natural shape and movement, making them weaker, and how this impacts the rest of our bodies. They also discuss the environmental impact of the shoe industry and why we need a radical shift toward a more sustainable solution.  Galahad Clark is a visionary entrepreneur and sustainability advocate who is revolutionizing the footwear industry with his innovative approach to crafting eco-friendly and socially responsible shoes. Galahad inherited a deep appreciation for shoe craftsmanship and quality design as a seventh-generation shoemaker and descendant of the Clark Shoes enterprise. A degree in Anthropology matched with his family background, eventually led Galahad to create the minimalist, environmentally conscious barefoot shoe company Vivobarefoot. Vivobarefoot is on a mission to make the world healthier by designing footwear that allows our feet to function the way they were intended to. In this episode, Dhru and Galahad dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): -Dhru’s experience with chronic knee pain from wearing conventional shoes (2:21 / 2:21) -How modern-day footwear contributes to knee, neck, and back pain (7:08 / 5:15) -The connection between foot and brain development (14:21 / 11:40) -Top types of shoes that contribute to chronic pain (16:44 / 13:40) -The many functions of the “great” toe (18:55 / 15:47) -Why bunions are not hereditary (22:39 / 19:15) -How barefoot shoes help strengthen the feet (27:09 / 25:25) -The benefits of walking barefoot (28:31/ 27:00) -The three areas that make Vivobarefoot shoes unique (31:18 / 28:08) -A look at how footwear has evolved throughout human history (40:14 / 37:00) -Navigating the adjustment period to barefoot shoes (44:01 / 40:54) -Galahad’s story and why he started Vivobarefoot (49:09 / 46:00) -Trends in sneakers and footwear continue to get worse (1:00:18 / 58:20) Also mentioned in this episode: -Vivobarefoot blog on the difference between normal vs. natural shoes -Made-to-order shoes: vivobarefoot.com/us/vivobiome (available in the U.K.) -Vivobarefoot online store: vivobarefoot.com For more on Vivobarefoot, follow their Instagram @vivobarefoot, Twitter @vivobarefoot, and through their website vivobarefoot.com.

]]> 8068 no Using Psychedelics To Heal The Brain & Expand Consciousness with Rick Doblin, Ph.D. https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/using-psychedelics-to-heal-the-brain-expand-consciousness-wi This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough and Calm.  Many people are unaware of the benefits of psychedelics when taken in a controlled, clinical setting under the care of a professional. Emerging research has shown promise for healing from trauma, connecting to your partner, and gaining insight into the bigger picture of consciousness and life itself. This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Rick Doblin, Ph.D., the founder and President of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelics (MAPS), to discuss the use of psychedelics, specifically MDMA, as a therapeutic intervention for qualifying candidates with complex mental illness, schizophrenia, PTSD, anxiety, eating disorders, and more.  Rick Doblin, Ph.D., is the Founder and President of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He received his doctorate in Public Policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, where he wrote his dissertation on regulating the medical uses of psychedelics and marijuana and his Master’s thesis on smoked marijuana vs. the oral THC pill in nausea control for cancer patients.  Rick studied with Dr. Stanislav Grof and was among the first to be certified as a Holotropic Breathwork practitioner. His goal is to help develop legal contexts for the beneficial uses of psychedelics and marijuana as prescription medicines, for the personal growth of otherwise healthy people, and eventually to become a legally licensed psychedelic therapist.  In this episode, Dhru and Rick dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): -Why it’s so hard to see beyond existence (1:28 / 1:28) -How Rick’s beliefs and personal views were shaped by his psychedelic experiences (8:19 / 6:58) -Potential sources of inner wisdom/guidance when taking psilocybin (16:07 / 14:30) -Idiosyncrasies that caused Rick to pursue psychedelic research (28:50 / 26:42) -A deep dive into the history of MDMA (35:03 / 32:06) -Therapeutic uses of MDMA (54:20 / 57:51) -The effects of psilocybin on the brain (1:10:45 / 1:07:46) -The war on drugs and how it impacted the public’s perception of psychedelics (1:20:33 /  1:17:32) -The recent advancements in psilocybin and MDMA for therapeutic use (1:27:20 / 1:24:25) -Early evidence on the ill effects of marijuana: should we be concerned? (1:30:55 / 1:28:05) -Current status of MDMA in psychological interventions (1:42 / 1:39:24) -Future hopes for FDA to allow psychedelic drugs to come to market (1:45:22 / 1:42:04) Also mentioned in this episode: -Maui Wild Fires Support/Resources -Make a donation to MAPS here  -Maps.org For more on Rick Doblin, follow him on Instagram @rickdoblinphd.

]]> 4863 no The Surprising Benefits of Joy for Mood, Immunity, and Heart Health with Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D. https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/the-surprising-benefits-of-joy-for-mood-immunity-and-heart-h This episode is brought to you by Joovv and Rupa Health.  With rates of depression and mental illness at an all-time high, it’s crucial to take stock of and consciously make time for the things that bring us joy. Joy is an embodied feeling we get when we feel connected to our inner selves, relationships, and the world around us. The question is, how do we create more of it? Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Kelly McGonigal to discuss how to cultivate more joy in our lives using the power of movement, nature, community, and so much more. Kelly shares how movement can help familiarize our bodies with the physical sensations of joy so that it is more easily recognizable. She also discusses how a sedentary lifestyle can rob us of joy and how leading a healthy lifestyle can help us better connect to ourselves to find deeper meaning and purpose that leads us to live a joy-filled life.  Kelly McGonigal is a health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University specializing in understanding the mind-body connection. Her mission is to translate insights from psychology and neuroscience into practical strategies that support personal well-being and strengthen communities. She is the best-selling author of The Willpower Instinct and The Upside of Stress. Kelly’s last book, The Joy of Moment, explores why physical exercise is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness.  In this episode, Dhru and Kelly dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): -How to create more joy in our lives as we age (2:40 / 2:40) -Why joy is so underrated in people’s lives (5:28 / 5:28) -Increasing our sensitivity to joy (11:00 / 8:27) -What we get from having more joy in our lives (20:22 / 17:50) -How being sedentary suppresses our capacity for joy (33:33 / 30:38) -Kelly’s background story and how she handles chronic pain (42:35 / 40:02) -The Joy Workout (53:10 / 50:37) -Kelly’s Joy prescription (59:00 / 56:30) -The relationship between friendship and joy (1:03:59 / 1:00:57) -Tips for making friends and meeting new people (1:07:24 / 1:04:51) -The power of integrating movements with relationships (1:11:24 / 1:08:57) -Top motivators for increasing movement in our lives (1:17:48 / 1:15:15) -Tips for cultivating love and compassion (1:19:16 / 1:16:45) -End of the day replay exercise (1:29:42 / 1:27:08) Also mentioned in this episode: -The Joy Workout featured in The New York Times -The Joy of Movement For more on Dr. Kelly McGonigal, follow her on Instagram @kellymariemcgonigal and on Facebook @kellymcgonigalauthor, or her website kellymcgonigal.com.  Enhance your health with red and infrared LED light therapy with Joovv.

]]> 8039 no How Low Nitric Oxide Drives Heart Disease, Poor Sexual Health, and Chronic Inflammation with Nathan S. Bryan, Ph.D. https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/with-dr-nathan-bryan This episode is brought to you by Birch Mattress by Helix and InsideTracker. Each year, approximately 700,000 lives are lost to cardiovascular disease. Shockingly, half of these individuals experience no prior symptoms before an event. Low levels of nitric oxide—a molecule that promotes vasodilation and smooth blood flow—could be largely responsible, and by recognizing the signs of deficiency, we can take steps to raise our levels and lower our risk. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Nathan Bryan to talk about why nitric oxide is the single most underrated molecule when it comes to our short- and long-term health. Dr. Bryan is an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry. He’s been involved in nitric oxide research for the past 20 years, and his many seminal discoveries have resulted in dozens of US and international patents. Dr. Bryan's discoveries have led to product and technology innovations that have improved patient care worldwide. He is the founder of Nitric Oxide Innovations, LLC, a privately held, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that is actively engaged in the discovery and development of nitric oxide-based therapies. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Bryan dive into (audio/ Apple subscriber) -What happens in the body when we don’t produce enough nitric oxide (1:46 / 1:46) -The link between nitric oxide and heart health (3:46 / 3:56) -How nitric oxide is produced in the body (10:04 / 7:11) -Habits that boost nitric oxide production (12:02 / 9:08) -How mouthwash inhibits nitric oxide production (18:20 / 16:20) -Nasal breathing and nitric oxide production (27:15 / 24:19) -The impact of proton pump inhibitors on creating nitric oxide (32:30 / 29:31) -High blood pressure and its link to nitric oxide (42:25 / 38:29) -How morning sunlight creates nitric oxide (45:22 / 42:05) -Early signs of low nitric oxide levels (58:26 / 55:33) -Foods that reduce nitric oxide levels (1:07:20 / 1:04:27) -How to test your nitric oxide levels (1:12:20 / 1:09:23) -Leafy green vegetables to boost nitric oxide production (1:20:56 / 1:18) -Future products and prescriptions for boosting nitric oxide (1:34:30 / 1:31:30) Also mentioned in this episode: -VENDYS -N1O1.com (get 10% off any of Dr. Bryan’s nitric oxide products with the code DHRU)  -nitricoxideinnovations.com For more on Dr. Nathan Bryan, check out: @drnathansbryan drnathansbryan.com.

]]> 5709 no Doubling Down On Morning Hydration For Better Energy, Focus And Longevity https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/doubling-down-on-morning-hydration-for-better-energy-focus-a This episode is brought to you by Birch Mattress by Helix and BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru reshares his popular morning hydration protocol in a brand new mini-episode, but this time with a slightly new twist: the effects of dehydration on aging. Dhru highlights the findings from a 2023 study linking clinical markers of dehydration to a 39% greater risk of chronic disease and 50% higher odds of a person’s biological (inner) age being higher than their chronological age.

]]> 7260 no Psychedelics: Treating Addiction, Depression, and Anxiety with Dr. Roland Griffiths https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/psychedelics-treating-addiction-depression-and-anxiety-with- This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Pendulum.  Psychedelics were the subject of serious medical research from the 1940s through the 1960s, when many scientists believed some of the mind-bending compounds held tremendous therapeutic promise for treating a number of conditions, including severe mental health problems and alcohol addiction. But by the mid-1960s, research into psychedelics was shut down, a policy that would last for decades. After the blackout ended, the doctor we have on the podcast today was among the first to initiate a new series of studies on psilocybin—the psychoactive compound in “magic” mushrooms. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Roland Griffiths, a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Neurosciences at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Griffiths has conducted extensive research with sedative-hypnotics, caffeine, and novel mood-altering drugs. In 1999, he initiated a research program at Johns Hopkins investigating the effects of the classic hallucinogen psilocybin. The program includes studies of psilocybin-facilitated treatment of psychological distress in cancer patients and cigarette-smoking cessation as well as the compound’s effects in beginning and long-term meditators and religious leaders. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Griffiths discuss his research on psilocybin in the treatment of psychological distress in cancer patients and cigarette-smoking cessation. They discuss the connection between psilocybin, spirituality, and consciousness and their potential for treating conditions ranging from drug and alcohol dependence to depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Griffiths dive into: -The connection between psychedelics, spirituality, and consciousness (3:30) -The history of psychedelic research (12:32) -The reintroduction of psychedelic research by Dr. Roland Griffiths and others (16:31) -Why research participants rated their psychedelic experience as one of their most meaningful (20:57) -What is happening in the brain when using psychedelics (27:39) -How psychedelics can help us understand altered states of consciousness (33:13) -The therapeutic benefits of psilocybin for the treatment of addiction (44:20) -How a single dose of psilocybin substantially diminished depression and anxiety in cancer patients (48:56) -The future of psychedelics (52:11) -The downside and risks of psychedelics (1:00:18) -Learn more about Dr. Roland Griffiths and his work (1:04:28) For more on Dr. Roland Griffiths and his research on psychedelics, check out his website https://www.hopkinspsychedelic.org.

Psychedelics were the subject of serious medical research from the 1940s through the 1960s, when many scientists believed some of the mind-bending compounds held tremendous therapeutic promise for treating a number of conditions, including severe mental health problems and alcohol addiction. But by the mid-1960s, research into psychedelics was shut down, a policy that would last for decades.


After the blackout ended, the doctor we have on the podcast today was among the first to initiate a new series of studies on psilocybin—the psychoactive compound in “magic” mushrooms.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Roland Griffiths, a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Neurosciences at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Griffiths has conducted extensive research with sedative-hypnotics, caffeine, and novel mood-altering drugs. In 1999, he initiated a research program at Johns Hopkins investigating the effects of the classic hallucinogen psilocybin. The program includes studies of psilocybin-facilitated treatment of psychological distress in cancer patients and cigarette-smoking cessation as well as the compound’s effects in beginning and long-term meditators and religious leaders.


In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Griffiths discuss his research on psilocybin in the treatment of psychological distress in cancer patients and cigarette-smoking cessation. They discuss the connection between psilocybin, spirituality, and consciousness and their potential for treating conditions ranging from drug and alcohol dependence to depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.


In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Griffiths dive into:


-The connection between psychedelics, spirituality, and consciousness (3:30)

-The history of psychedelic research (12:32)

-The reintroduction of psychedelic research by Dr. Roland Griffiths and others (16:31)

-Why research participants rated their psychedelic experience as one of their most meaningful (20:57)

-What is happening in the brain when using psychedelics (27:39)

-How psychedelics can help us understand altered states of consciousness (33:13)

-The therapeutic benefits of psilocybin for the treatment of addiction (44:20)

-How a single dose of psilocybin substantially diminished depression and anxiety in cancer patients (48:56)

-The future of psychedelics (52:11)

-The downside and risks of psychedelics (1:00:18)

-Learn more about Dr. Roland Griffiths and his work (1:04:28)

]]> 5992 no Firing Toxic Friends & Family Members and How to Lean Into Tough Conversations with Dr. Omid & Alexis Naim https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/firing-toxic-friends-family-members-and-how-to-lean-into-tou This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and AirDoctor. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru welcomes Dr. Omid and Alexis Naim to discuss how we can begin to create a culture based on connection and a shared human understanding. They share the core issues going on in society today, like unresolved family trauma and how it plays into separation, resentment, labeling, and black-or-white thinking.   Dr. Omid Naim is a Western-trained psychiatrist who came to see the need for more holistic, spiritual, and community-based approaches to health care by seeing the limitations of the conventional model firsthand. He is the founder of Hope Integrative Psychiatry and the cofounder along with his wife, Alexis, of the nonprofit La Maida Project, which designs new models for families, communities, and organizations to become ecosystems of optimal health and well-being based on our innate human nature. Alexis Naim is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) specializing in the treatment of couples and family systems. She has been in private practice in psychotherapy for over 20 years, working with individuals and families through an attachment and trauma-based lens.  Dhru, Dr. Omid, and Alexis share the meaning of developing true sovereignty in our lives, which means setting boundaries around our values and beliefs while still being vulnerable to having conversations with the people who disagree with us.  In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Omid and Alexis Naim dive into:    -What we miss out on when we don’t recognize the role we play in our problems (3:00) -What parts of firing the toxic people in your life are not healthy (14:58) -The core issues going on in today’s world that make it difficult to engage in “dangerous conversations” (17:22) -How to know when it's time to set up a boundary versus lean into the discomfort (29:45) -How to create more empathy in our lives and the world (36:03) -What does it mean if you’re always the person who can’t handle people?

Dr. Maté is a renowned speaker and is highly sought after for his expertise on a range of topics, including addiction, stress, and childhood development. Dr. Maté has written several bestselling books, including the award-winning In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, When the Body Says No and Scattered, and has coauthored Hold On to Your Kids. His latest book, The Myth of Normal was just released. Gabor is also a codeveloper of a therapeutic approach, Compassionate Inquiry, now studied by hundreds of therapists, physicians, counselors, and others internationally.

 

In this episode we dive into:


-How a painful experience or trauma is at the center of all addictions

-Understanding the difference between responsibility and blame and why “it’s not all our parents’ fault” 

-What is happening physiologically in the brains of addicted people 

-The key to healing painful experiences

Today on the Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Nicole LePera to discuss how both her personal and clinical experiences taught her the importance of cultivating emotional awareness and how to use tools like breathwork to step out of our thinking brains and into our bodies. Dr. Nicole LePera was trained in clinical psychology at Cornell University, The New School for Social Research, and the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis. She's the author of the number-one New York Times bestselling book How to Do the Work: Recognize Your Patterns, Heal from Your Past, and Create Your Self and the host of the SelfHealers Soundboard podcast. Her latest workbook, How to Meet Your Self, will be released on December 6.    As a clinical psychologist in private practice, Dr. Nicole often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. Wanting more for her patients—and for herself—she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical, and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves.  In this episode, we dive into:  -(1:41) The top things that get in the way of people getting what they want in life -(3:08) Examples of unconscious habits that hold us back -(14:15) What it looks like to be living as your authentic self -(20:12) The cost of living your entire life without knowing your true self -(32:07) Tools for how to get out of your head and into your body -(37:27) Why we look for external validation to feel safe  -(50:22) How the feelings of not being considered and not feeling good enough are related -(56:34) Examples of common narratives we tell ourselves that get in the way -(1:14:10) How to rediscover what you loved to do as a kid -(1:22:32) How fear of our authentic self can hold us back   Also mentioned in this episode: -Dr. Nicole’s book How to Meet Your Self: The Workbook for Self-Discovery For more on Dr. LePera, follow her on Instagram @the.holistic.psychologist and through her website, theholisticpsychologist.com.

]]> 7817 yes The Forgotten Power of Breath and How to Use it to Radically Transform Your Health with James Nestor https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/the-forgotten-power-of-breath-and-how-to-use-it-to-radically This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Colima Salt. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing, yet as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, a fact that comes with serious consequences. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance, rejuvenate internal organs, halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease, and even straighten scoliotic spines. On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with James Nestor to talk about the forgotten power of breathing and how we can tap into it to dramatically improve how we feel.  James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, the New York Times, and more. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, which explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly—and how to get it back. James has appeared on dozens of national television shows, including ABC’s Nightline and CBS’s Morning News and on NPR. He lives and breathes in San Francisco.   In this episode we dive into:   -How the way we breathe influences our health   -The Stanford University breathing experiment -How our modern industrial diet has impacted the way we breathe  -The connection between lung capacity and longevity  -How to establish better nasal breathing  -The importance of eliciting a parasympathetic response before you eat    Listen to the full episode here.   For more on James Nestor, follow him on Instagram @MrJamesNestor, Facebook @MrJamesNestor, Twitter @MrJamesNestor, and through his website, mrjamesnestor.com.

]]> 2716 no Prevent Disease with These Simple Immunity Boosting Habits with Dr. Robynne Chutkan https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/prevent-disease-with-these-simple-immunity-boosting-habits-w This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and InsideTracker. Multiple studies have now confirmed a dramatic link between the health of our microbiome and the strength of our immune system. Low-fiber diets, limited exposure to nature, and overzealous use of pharmaceuticals have messed up our microbiome, making many of us more susceptible to viruses than we naturally should be. But the good news is that, unlike our genes, our microbiome is constantly evolving, offering a pathway back to health for those who are suffering and proven protection for those who want to stay well.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Robynne Chutkan about why some people get sicker from viruses than others, the connection between the health of our microbiome and our likelihood of catching viral illnesses, and daily habits to boost your immune system and maximize your gut health. Dr. Chutkan is one of the most recognizable gastroenterologists working in America today. She has a BS from Yale and an MD from Columbia, is a faculty member at Georgetown University Hospital, and is the founder of the Digestive Center for Wellness. In this episode, we dive into: -Why some people get sicker from viruses than others (3:17) -Why taking acid-blocking drugs increases your risk of catching viruses (7:48) -The role viruses play in our body (9:46)  -The protective effects of some viruses (15:26) -Microbial predictability (23:50) -The importance of eating a diverse diet to improve gut bacteria (26:46) -The specific carbohydrate diet study for improving inflammatory bowel disease (31:43) -The role short-chain fatty acids play when it comes to the strength of our gut microbiome (39:43) -How to improve bloating symptoms (44:55) -The role mucus plays when it comes to fighting viruses (50:01) -How fevers halt viral replication (54:35) -Understanding long Covid and post-viral syndrome (1:17:08) For more on Dr. Robynne Chutkan, follow her on Instagram @gutbliss, Facebook @drrobynnechutkan, Twitter @drchutkan, and through her website, robynnechutkan.com.

Multiple studies have now confirmed a dramatic link between the health of our microbiome and the strength of our immune system. Low-fiber diets, limited exposure to nature, and overzealous use of pharmaceuticals have messed up our microbiome, making many of us more susceptible to viruses than we naturally should be. But the good news is that, unlike our genes, our microbiome is constantly evolving, offering a pathway back to health for those who are suffering and proven protection for those who want to stay well.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Robynne Chutkan about why some people get sicker from viruses than others, the connection between the health of our microbiome and our likelihood of catching viral illnesses, and daily habits to boost your immune system and maximize your gut health. Dr. Chutkan is one of the most recognizable gastroenterologists working in America today. She has a BS from Yale and an MD from Columbia, is a faculty member at Georgetown University Hospital, and is the founder of the Digestive Center for Wellness.

]]> 5223 no Why Women Are More Likely To Develop Alzheimer’s and How to Prevent It with Dr. Lisa Mosconi https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/why-women-are-more-likely-to-develop-alzheimers-and-how-to-p This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and AquaTru. Two out of every three Alzheimer’s patients are women. Today, Alzheimer’s is as real a threat to women’s health as breast cancer is. A 45-year-old woman has a one-in-five chance of developing Alzheimer’s during her remaining life, while a man of the same age only has a one-in-ten chance. What happens to women, and not to men, in midlife that could potentially trigger an Alzheimer’s predisposition, and that could potentially initiate Alzheimer’s? On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Lisa Mosconi to talk about the research on why women represent two-thirds of the Alzheimer’s population. They discuss what happens to a woman’s brain when she goes through menopause and the connection to Alzheimer’s disease. They also talk about how to care for women’s brains, how to prevent dementia, and the groundbreaking research that Dr. Mosconi and her team are conducting at the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic.  Dr. Mosconi is the director of the Women’s Brain Initiative and associate director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medical College, where she serves as an associate professor of neuroscience in neurology and radiology. In addition, she is an adjunct faculty member at the NYU Department of Psychiatry and the author of Brain Food and The XX Brain.    In this episode we dive into:   -The statistics on Alzheimer's disease, and its impact on women -The early changes we are seeing in the female brain midlife -What happens to a woman's brain when she goes through menopause -The impact of diet on our hormones and brain health -What women can do to prevent dementia   Listen to the full episode here.   For more on Dr. Lisa Mosconi, follow her on Instagram @dr_mosconi and through her website, lisamosconi.com.

It’s part of the human condition to run away from pain. Most of us have habits we acquired as a way to cope with painful childhood experiences or traumas, which unfortunately don’t serve us as adults. These habits can manifest as addiction in a wide variety of forms, from substance abuse to overworking.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Doug Bopst about hitting rock bottom in jail from a felony drug charge, overcoming addiction, and how he turned his life around with the help of fitness.  Doug Bopst is an award-winning personal trainer, author of three books, and host of The Adversity Advantage Podcast. He is on a crusade to inspire others to overcome adversity and become the best version of themselves. He’s a former convicted felon and drug addict who spent time in jail for “possession with intent to sell.” While locked in a cell, he slayed his personal demons, kicked addiction, and reinvented himself, and he hasn’t touched drugs since the day he was incarcerated in 2008.  In this episode, we dive into:    -Doug’s early childhood experiences and the development of emotional pain (2:39) -Doug’s first experience using drugs (25:03)  -The importance of having strong mentors in your life (32:56) -The difference between blame and responsibility (40:05) -When Doug started to spiral out of control (46:08) -Doug’s first exposure to opioids (57:04) -The night Doug was arrested (1:10:10) -Doug’s experience in jail and the conversation that changed his life (1:18:14) -Five lessons Doug learned from his cellmate (1:37:17) -The power of letting go of resentment (2:07:04) For more on Doug Bopst, follow him on Instagram @dougbopst, Facebook @dougbopst, Twitter @dougbopst, YouTube @dougbopst, and through his website, dougbopst.com.

]]> 8147 yes The Biggest Drivers of Cancer and How to Minimize Your Risk Today with Dr. Jason Fung https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/the-biggest-drivers-of-cancer-and-how-to-minimize-your-risk- This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Colima Salt. Our understanding of cancer is slowly undergoing a revolution, allowing for the development of more effective treatments. For the first time ever, the death rate from cancer is showing a steady decline, but the “war on cancer” has hardly been won. On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Jason Fung to talk about a revolutionary new understanding of cancer—what it is, how it manifests, and why it is so challenging to treat. They discuss the “seed and soil” analogy of cancer and how the seed of cancer may exist in all of us, but the power to change the soil is in our hands. They also talk about how hyperinsulinemia may enable the development of cancer, and how we can build soil that offers cancer a hostile environment as opposed to a fertile one. Dr. Fung is a physician, author, and researcher. His groundbreaking science-based books about diabetes and obesity, The Diabetes Code, The Obesity Code, and The Complete Guide to Fasting, have sold over one million copies and challenged the conventional wisdom that diabetics should be treated with insulin. His latest book is The Cancer Code: A Revolutionary New Understanding of a Medical Mystery. Dr. Fung is also the cofounder of The Fasting Method, a program to help people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes naturally with fasting. His work on fasting has been cited by CNN, Time, The Atlantic, Forbes, the Toronto Star, and many other media outlets.    In this episode we dive into:   -What is cancer?  -The “seed and soil” analogy of cancer  -The biggest drivers of cancer  -What feeds cancer cells   -What you can do today to minimize your risk of cancer    Listen to the full episode here.   For more on Dr. Fung, follow him on Instagram @DrJasonFung, Twitter @DrJasonFung, and through his website thefastingmethod.com.

]]> 6357 no Uncovering The Root Causes of Alzheimer’s and What You Can Do to Prevent It with Dr. Dale Bredesen https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/uncovering-the-root-causes-of-alzheimers-and-what-you-can-do This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Birch Living. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most significant global health threats we face today. It is an ailment that, as our population ages, is forecasted to become a worldwide epidemic. Mainstream medicine would have us believe that it can’t be prevented, is untreatable, and is progressive, with most patients not surviving beyond 3–11 years post-diagnosis. But that is all being challenged by the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen.  On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Bredesen to discuss his groundbreaking work that can give hope and many more years of a happy, healthy life to millions of people.  Dr. Bredesen is internationally recognized as an expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The End of Alzheimer's, The End of Alzheimer's Program, and his latest book, The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words. He has held faculty positions at UC San Francisco, UCLA, and the University of California San Diego. He directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before coming to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in 1998 as its founding president and CEO. He is currently a professor at UCLA. In this episode we dive into:   -Evidence that early Alzheimer's can be reversed -What actually drives neurodegeneration -Insults in the brain that contribute to Alzheimer's -Red flags to pay attention to when it comes to cognitive decline -Cognoscopy test for cognitive decline   Listen to the full episode here.   For more on Dr. Bredesen, follow him on Instagram @drdalebredesen, Facebook @drdalebredesen, Twitter @drdalebredesen, and through his website, apollohealthco.com.

His latest book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture, was just released.

]]> 5226 no How to Prevent and Treat Autoimmune Conditions Using The Power of Food with Dr. Elroy Vojdani https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/how-to-prevent-and-treat-autoimmune-conditions-using-the-pow This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Pendulum. Autoimmune diseases are an increasing issue in our country, with over 80 million Americans dealing with some form or another. Type 1 diabetes, Hashimoto’s, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, colitis, and Crohn’s disease are just some of the more than 70 identified forms of autoimmunity that leave people feeling sick, lost, and powerless.    Conventional treatment for autoimmune conditions gives little hope to those who are suffering because conventional medicine treats these diseases as lifelong illnesses that often require medication to manage symptoms. Through the lens of Functional Medicine, though, we’re able to see things differently; we’re able to see there are many underlying factors that contribute to autoimmune disease that can vary from person to person even for the same disease. Food, of course, plays a huge role in how our immune system functions. I’m not talking about “immune-boosting” foods to avoid a cold; I’m talking about the molecular makeup of foods that can exacerbate your condition due to the immune response they elicit. I’m also talking about anti-inflammatory foods that provide the right nutritional ingredients for healing. On today’s mini-episode, Dhru has a fascinating talk with Dr. Elroy Vojdani about leveraging food choices on an extremely personalized level to treat autoimmunity.  Dr. Vojdani is the founder of Regenera Medical, a boutique Functional Medicine practice in Los Angeles, California. He has coauthored over 20 articles in the scientific literature and continues to play an integral role in research related to autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and autoinflammatory conditions. He is also the author of When Food Bites Back: Taking Control of Autoimmune Disease. In this episode we dive into:   -Why there is an explosion of autoimmune disease -The connection between food and autoimmune diseases -Foods that damage the gut lining -Modern wheat vs. native wheat -The three stages of autoimmunity -How to prevent and treat autoimmune conditions   Listen to the full episode here.

]]> 3002 no The New Science of Neuroinflammation and How to Protect Your Brain with Dr. Austin Perlmutter https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/the-new-science-of-neuroinflammation-and-how-to-protect-your This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Cozy Earth. Over 300 million people around the world experience depression. For the last half-century, the dominant explanation for depression has centered on serotonin. The basic idea is that low levels of brain serotonin or serotonin activity lead to symptoms of depression. But in the last several decades, a number of researchers have challenged the idea that serotonin plays a principal role, or even a major role, in depression. So, if it’s not a serotonin issue, what is it? Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru and Dr. Austin Perlmutter talk about why serotonin may not explain depression, but research on other brain pathways may provide answers such as neuroplasticity, our hormones, metabolic health, gut health, and the immune connection to the brain. They also discuss how there is a lot we can do through our lifestyle choices to help prevent and even manage depression. Dr. Perlmutter is a board-certified internal medicine physician and expert on how environmental influences affect our mental and brain health. He is a coauthor of the New York Times and international bestseller Brain Wash, which he wrote with his father Dr. David Perlmutter, and he hosts the Get The STUCK Out podcast. He currently serves as the Senior Director of Science and Clinical Innovation at Big Bold Health, where he is running an IRB-approved pilot trial exploring the effects of polyphenols on epigenetic expression. In this episode, we dive into:    -The top drivers of depression (1:42) -The connection between neuroinflammation and depression (9:30) -How our immune system influences our brain function (11:49) -What governs our brain state and how we make decisions (16:04) -The top causes of inflammation (17:31) -How exposure to particulate matter impacts our brain function (36:21) -The top foods for brain health (44:15)  -Why depression is not a serotonin issue (50:37) -Myths about serotonin (56:47)  -What you can do to improve your brain health (1:16:22) Also mentioned in this episode:   -Dr. Mark Hyman’s Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat Pancake Recipe For more on Dr. Perlmutter, follow him on Instagram @draustinperlmutter, Facebook @draustinnperlmutter, and through his website austinperlmutter.com.  This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Cozy Earth.

Our friendships and relationships are an integral part of who we are and how we evolve. Even though we don’t need each other to survive anymore, we do need each other to thrive. All of the best things in life come from connection, community, and relationships.  So how do we make and keep friends in an era of distraction, burnout, and chaos, especially in a society that often prizes romantic love at the expense of other relationships? Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Marisa G. Franco about how friendships are the most influential thing on our health, success, and happiness. They also talk about how to make, maintain, and deepen friendships and why understanding your attachment style—secure, anxious, or avoidant—is the key to unlocking what’s working (and what’s failing) in your friendships. Dr. Franco is a psychologist and national speaker. She works as a professor at the University of Maryland and is the author of Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends. She writes about friendship for Psychology Today and has been a featured connection expert for major publications like the New York Times, The Telegraph, and Vice. In this episode, we dive into:    -The connection between friendships, relationships, and longevity (2:49) -Why social connection affects our longevity (5:33) -Questions to ask yourself to figure out if you’re lonely (12:15) -How being a better friend helps you in every aspect of your life (16:33) -How to make friends as an adult (20:35) -How to break into an established friend group (24:22) -How our baggage affects how we show up as friends (29:57)  -How to assess if you are being a bad friend (48:56) -Firing a friend (1:02:38) -How our trauma impacts our relationships (1:07:26)  -How to navigate differing opinions in friendships (1:09:04)  For more on Dr. Franco, follow her on Instagram @drmarisagfranco, Twitter @drmarisagfranco, and through her website, drmarisagfranco.com.

We’ve all heard about the concept of heart rate, especially in terms of working out or how it can become elevated with stress. But did you know that heart rate variability is an important metric for understanding your level of health?


Heart rate variability is actually a window into the dynamic shifts within the nervous system and how different things we do are interpreted in the body. 


Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru and Dr. Jay Wiles take a deep dive into the concept of heart rate variability, also known as HRV, and how we can use it to dial in our health routine on an extremely personalized level. 


Dr. Wiles is a clinical health and performance psychologist with board certification in heart rate variability biofeedback and peripheral biofeedback, and he works as a leading consultant in psychophysiology to professional athletes, executives, and high performers. He is also the cofounder and Chief Scientific Officer of Hanu Health, a company that’s pioneering a new and innovative means of using heart rate variability and respiratory training as diagnostic indicators of the dynamic nature of the human stress response and for providing therapeutic tools for regulating and conditioning this response for peak human performance.


In this episode, we dive into: 

 

-The top hidden sources of stress and anxiety that significantly impact our health (1:56)

-How HRV ties into our stress response (16:07)

-What is biofeedback and how does it work? (18:08)

-What is HRV and why is it important? (20:43)

]]> 8485 no How to Uplevel Your Gut Health with Dr. Deanna Minich https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/how-to-uplevel-your-gut-health-with-dr-deanna-minich This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Gut Food. When you think back to what you ate today, yesterday, three weeks ago, or even last year, how different is the food on your plate? Some people naturally include a wide range of diverse food when choosing their meals, but for many of us, it is easy to fall into a trap of eating the same foods day in and day out. But did you know that by not consuming a diverse range of foods, you are missing out on the potential for many health benefits? Despite the promotion of superfoods, no single food contains all the necessary nutrients for overall health and wellness. By eating a balanced diet filled with a wide range of foods, it is easy to ensure that you consume adequate amounts of all essential nutrients. This not only reduces the risk of nutritional deficiencies; it also provides numerous health benefits. On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Deanna Minich to talk about one simple thing anyone can do today to improve immune resilience, reduce overall chronic inflammation, and improve cognitive health. Dr. Minich is an internationally recognized teacher, author, scientist, speaker, and artist with more than 20 years of experience in the fields of nutrition and Functional Medicine. Currently, she is Vice President of Scientific Affairs for Organic India USA, President of the American College of Nutrition, and a faculty member at the Institute for Functional Medicine and the University of Western States. In this episode we dive into:   -How diversity in our diet impacts immune health  -Why diversity of our gut microbiome is so integral to overall health  -How phytochemicals and polyphenols influence the gut microbiome -How to get your kids to eat more diverse foods -How to test your food variety level    Listen to the full episode here.

]]> 2424 no What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond with Dr. Bruce Greyson https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/what-near-death-experiences-reveal-about-life-and-beyond-wit This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and InsideTracker.  We often think the mind is a creation of the brain or that the mind and the brain are one and the same. But when the brain is offline for a number of reasons, like illness or injury, the mind can sometimes still be very active. On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, we are re-sharing my interview with Dr. Bruce Greyson about this phenomenon in the context of near-death experiences, or NDEs. Dr. Greyson shares some of the most dramatic first-person accounts of near-death experiences from his book After. We discuss how NDEs reveal a lot about dying and what might come after, but they also reveal just as much about life and living, the value of compassion and our interconnectedness with one another, and what makes life meaningful and fulfilling. We also talk about how NDEs can help transform the fear of dying that pervades our culture. Dr. Greyson is a professor emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the UVA School of Medicine. He was a cofounder and president of the International Association for Near-Death Studies. His award-winning research led him to become a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and to be invited by the Dalai Lama to participate in a dialogue between Western scientists and Buddhist monks in India. His book, After, is the culmination of almost half a century of scientific research. In this episode, we dive into:    -Dr. Greyson’s first experience with a patient who had a near-death experience (8:00) -A near-death experience story from Dr. Greyson’s book (18:57) -What near-death experiences tell us about the mind-body connection (22:34) -The parallels between psychedelic experiences and near-death experiences (32:03) -The misconceptions around near-death experiences (37:56) -How near-death experiences reduce the fear of death (42:05) -How to get the benefits of a near-death experience without actually having one (44:52) -The history of near-death experiences (49:58) -Reincarnation beliefs among near-death experiencers (52:20) -How near-death experiences change people’s lives (1:04:43) For more on Dr. Greyson, follow him on Instagram @BruceGreysonMD, Facebook @BruceGreysonMD, Twitter @BruceGreyson, and through his website, brucegreyson.com.

It’s true: getting older is inevitable, and our chronological age can only move in one direction. But we also have a biological age, which scientists can measure by assessing how our genes are expressed through epigenetics. On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald to talk about the exciting new research that shows our biological age can actually move in reverse and her groundbreaking clinical trial that proved it’s possible. Dr. Fitzgerald received her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, and is in private practice in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. She is the host of the New Frontiers in Functional Medicine podcast, is on faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine, and is an Institute for Functional Medicine certified practitioner. Her study Potential Reversal of Epigenetic Age Using a Diet and Lifestyle Intervention is the first of its kind to show biological age reversal in humans. In this episode we dive into: -The top three things you can do to age in reverse  -Why stress is one of the biggest drivers of aging  -How much of our genetic makeup is set in stone  -How epigenetics is involved in cellular aging  -DNA methylation and how it powerfully influences epigenetic expression  -Zombie cells and aging  -Dr. Fitzgerald’s study for aging in reverse and the protocol followed by the participants    Listen to the full episode here.

]]> 3000 no Reprogram Your Brain to Destroy Laziness and Improve Focus with Dr. Andrew Huberman https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/reprogram-your-brain-to-destroy-laziness-and-improve-focus-w This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and Cozy Earth. At one point or another, we’ve all felt stuck in a rut with feelings of laziness and fear. During these times it can be really hard to take a step back and wonder what’s happening in the body, as opposed to just the mind, but it’s the link between the two that can push us through it.   Neurotransmitters have some incredible power over how we function. Dopamine is responsible for craving, motivation, and pursuit. Adrenaline relates to agitation and endurance. Serotonin helps us be grateful and feel good about what we have. And acetylcholine can help us focus. This is just a snapshot of the chemical symphony happening in our bodies all the time, and we can actually leverage these inner reactions to better understand the way we react to the world around us and make positive changes.  On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, we are re-sharing Dhru’s interview with Dr. Andrew Huberman. Dhru talks to Dr. Huberman about opening the window into our neurochemistry, training our nervous system, and confronting our “inner real estate.”  Dr. Andrew Huberman is a neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He has made numerous important contributions to the fields of brain development, brain function, and neural plasticity, which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behaviors, skills, and cognitive functioning.  In this episode, we dive into:    -The connection between fear, laziness, and motivation (1:30) -The difference between dopamine, adrenaline, and serotonin (17:40) -How to increase dopamine (19:15) -How to get your mind to stop racing (31:09) -An exercise to try if you are having a hard time falling asleep (35:43)  -The benefits of hypnosis (38:52)  -What to do if you are having trouble focusing (52:43)  -Why structure is one of the best ways to create freedom (1:01:28)  -How our phones are eroding our creativity, relationships, and more (1:05:48)  -The importance of having times of no focus each day (1:16:32) For more on Dr. Andrew Huberman, you can follow him on Instagram @hubermanlab and through his website, hubermanlab.com.

We create our own realities—it’s all in how we think about life. Do you ever notice how a growth mindset leads to opportunity and success, but a poverty mindset leaves you with nothing but wants and often spirals downward into an ongoing funk?


We have to use our physical state to change our mental state, and vice versa. There’s a feedback loop between our bodies and brains, which is why mindset and behavior are so powerful for creating the reality we desire.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with David Nurse to talk about how to build unshakable confidence and the power of pivoting to accomplish your dreams.

]]> 5240 no The Top 3 Mistakes When it Comes to Diet and How it Impacts Our Hormones with Dr. Sara Gottfried https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/the-top-3-mistakes-when-it-comes-to-diet-and-how-it-impacts- This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Gut Food. Mainstream medicine often fails us when it comes to hormonal imbalances. Hormones aren’t commonly tested, even when there is a high likelihood of an issue (like cortisol in our overly stressed culture). Since there are so many hormones that can become dysregulated, presenting with a wide variety of symptoms, many of the symptoms are written off to aging and never addressed.  On today’s mini-episode, Dhru takes a deep dive into the topic of hormonal imbalances with Dr. Sara Gottfried, along with what you can do to get them back on track.  Dr. Sara Gottfried is a board-certified physician who graduated from Harvard and MIT. She practices evidence-based integrative, precision, and Functional Medicine. She is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at Thomas Jefferson University and Director of Precision Medicine at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health. Her three New York Times bestselling books include The Hormone Cure, The Hormone Reset Diet, and Younger. Her latest book is Women, Food, and Hormones. In this episode we dive into:   -Common hormone imbalances that have become normalized in society  -Signs and symptoms of hormone imbalances  -The top three things to prioritize when addressing hormone imbalances -How to uncover the root cause of hormone imbalances -The top three mistakes when it comes to diet and how it impacts our hormones -The key pillars of The Gottfried Protocol Listen to the full episode here.

]]> 6345 no What to Eat to Beat Cancer and Supercharge Your Immune System with Dr. William Li https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/what-to-eat-to-beat-cancer-and-supercharge-your-immune-syste This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Paleovalley. An astonishing 70 percent of cancer is diet related. When it comes to treating cancer, conventional medicine is good at cutting it, burning it, and poisoning it, but many doctors fail to treat the root cause. Functional Medicine empowers patients and practitioners to optimize health by addressing the root causes of disease. The right diet is imperative in preventing cancer and during the healing process. This is in large part because of the role insulin plays in cancer. Insulin acts as a growth factor in the body, which is one of the reasons too much insulin leads to obesity. It’s also why insulin will support the growth of cancer cells.  On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. William Li to discuss how recent research is now revealing the connection between insulin resistance and cancer, what you can eat to prevent cancer, and much more.  In this episode we dive into:   -How sugar fuels cancer -Foods that starve cancer -How to supercharge your immune system -The power of polyphenols on the gut microbiome -Akkermansia and cancer immunotherapy Listen to the full episode here.

Most people don’t realize what kind of negative impact their favorite foods have on their blood sugar—and subsequently their entire body. The symptoms of blood sugar imbalances are everyday occurrences for most people—things like cravings, fatigue, acne, and moodiness—but they don’t have to be!  On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Jessie Inchauspé, also known as the “Glucose Goddess,” to talk all about simple, realistic actions we can take to balance our blood sugar throughout the day.  Jessie Inchauspé is on a mission to translate cutting-edge science into easy tips to help people improve their physical and mental health.

Jessie holds a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from King’s College London and a master’s degree in biochemistry from Georgetown University. Her work at a genetic analysis start-up in Silicon Valley made her realize that, as the key to good health, food habits beat genetics. In her first book, Glucose Revolution, Jessie shares her startling discovery about the essential role of blood sugar in every aspect of our lives, from cravings to fertility, and the surprising hacks to optimize it while still eating the foods we love. In this episode we dive into:   -Hacks to keep glucose levels steady throughout the day -What happens in your body when you have a large glucose spike -The long-term consequences of glucose spikes -Food sequencing to reduce a glucose spike  Listen to the full episode here.

]]> 7668 no The Top 3 Lab Tests to Determine If Your Metabolic Health is Optimal with Dr. Casey Means https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/the-top-3-lab-tests-to-determine-if-your-metabolic-health-is This episode is brought to you by Pendulum and InsideTracker. The word “metabolism” gets tossed around quite a bit, usually in the context of weight loss.  It’s important to realize that our metabolic health is so much more than that—it’s the way our 37 trillion cells create energy so that we can do all the things we want to do in life, big and small.  With that in mind, it’s pretty alarming to note that nine of the 10 leading causes of death in the US are directly caused or worsened by poor blood sugar control and declines in other metabolic markers. Chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and more are all linked in one way or another to various metabolic dysfunctions.  On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Casey Means to talk about the best ways to dial in our metabolic health and take back control of how we feel and how we age.  Dr. Casey Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and Cofounder of the metabolic health company Levels, an associate editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention, and a lecturer at Stanford University.  In this episode we dive into:   -Optimal triglyceride levels and understanding the triglyceride/HDL ratio -Optimal fasting insulin levels -Optimal HA1C levels Listen to the full episode here.

]]> 4123 no Why Calories Aren’t the Full Story and How Fructose Drives Weight Gain with Dr. Robert Lustig https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/why-calories-arent-the-full-story-and-how-fructose-drives-we This episode is brought to you by Birch Living and Vivobarefoot. A calorie is a calorie, right? Wrong. This myth that refuses to die keeps people from getting and staying healthy, as well as losing weight and keeping it off. The current thinking is as long as we burn more calories than we consume, we will lose weight. But thinking that losing weight is all about energy balance or calories in/calories out vastly oversimplifies the truth. To make matters worse, the food industry and government agencies perpetuate this lie and actually rely on you believing it to stay afloat.  On today’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Robert Lustig to talk about why calories aren’t the full story when it comes to weight loss, the real dangers of eating too much sugar, and how to take better care of our metabolic health. Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He’s the Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology and a member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. He is also one of the leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the food industry, in part through his game-changing books. His latest work is Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine.   In this episode we dive into:   -The calorie myth  -The connection between fructose and metabolic disease -The biggest sources of fructose in our diet  -The four substrates in our food supply that damage mitochondria  Listen to the full episode here. For more on Dr. Robert Lustig, follow him on Facebook @drrobertlustig, Twitter @robertlustigmd, YouTube @robertlustig, and through his website, robertlustig.com.

]]> 1867 no How to Stop Overthinking and Tune Into Your Inner Guidance with Light Watkins https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/how-to-stop-overthinking-and-tune-into-your-inner-guidance-w This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Pendulum. A lot of people have fear around meditation. They don’t want to sit alone with their thoughts, and many times people give up because they feel like they can’t turn off their minds.  But meditation isn’t actually about what happens while you sit with your eyes closed, and it’s not about turning off your mind. It’s about mind-full-ness—the noticing of the ebb and flow of your thoughts—and the benefits you get throughout the rest of your day. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with our friend Light Watkins to talk about overcoming fear around meditation, creating space from our critical thought patterns, and getting intentional about our values, time, and relationships.  Light has been operating in the meditation space since 1998, first as a practitioner, then as an apprentice to his Vedic Meditation teacher, and finally as a teacher himself. Prior to the pandemic, he was traveling the world from a single backpack and giving talks on happiness, mindfulness, inspiration, and meditation, as well as leading popular meditation trainings and retreats. In this episode, we dive into:    -Breaking through hypercritical self-talk (1:11) -Why our mind is so active at night (12:32) -Light’s minimalist approach to social media (20:06) -Why self-discipline is about honesty (35:17) -How to tap into your inner guidance (37:18)  -The importance of inner work when it comes to relationships (45:31) -How to cultivate happiness (1:07:15) -Light’s approach to meditation (1:11:51) -Spiritual minimalism (1:25:45) Also mentioned in this episode: -The Inner Gym: A 30-Day Workout for Strengthening Happiness -Knowing Where to Look: 108 Daily Doses of Inspiration -The Happiness Insiders  For more on Light Watkins, follow him on Instagram @lightwatkins, Twitter @lightwatkins, and through his website, lightwatkins.com.

Skeletal muscle is a widely overlooked part of our metabolic health. From how well we control glucose and insulin to how well we age, skeletal muscle regulates many processes.

]]> 6032 no A Few Crucial Things You Need to Know about Uric Acid—the Body’s Fat-Storage Switch with Dhru Purohit https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/a-few-crucial-things-you-need-to-know-about-uric-acidthe-bod This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Vivobarefoot. Uric acid is a central player in metabolic mayhem. Despite its long association with gout and kidney stones, it’s involved in so much more—especially our metabolic disease epidemic. There are three things that raise our levels of uric acid: purines, alcohol, and fructose. The latter is the biggest challenge, due to its overwhelming presence in our Standard American Diet. That doesn’t mean all fruit is bad or even that all alcohol and purine-rich foods have the same effect. Like all parts of health and nutrition, there are nuances we need to consider to create optimal health. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks about uric acid, the role it plays in turning on, or off, our body’s fat-storage switch, and how getting it under control can significantly reduce our risk of chronic disease. In this episode, we dive into:   -The link between uric acid and metabolic dysfunction -Why our metabolic switch is always turned on -Hidden sources of fructose in our diets -How uric acid levels can tell us a lot about our cardiometabolic health  Also mentioned in this episode: -Try This: How To Turn Off Your Fat-Storage Switch -The Latest Science on How to Turn Your Body’s Fat-Storage Switch Off with Dr. Richard Johnson -​​Nature Wants Us to Be Fat: The Surprising Science Behind Why We Gain Weight and How We Can Prevent—and Reverse—It -Try This: Smoothie Recipes That Won’t Spike Your Blood Sugar -Calculate Your Fructose Intake  -Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid―The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health -UASure Uric Acid Meter  This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Vivobarefoot.

Sit for one hour less per day—just one hour less! This is something anyone can do. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but according to a recent study, reducing sedentary time by just one hour per day can have remarkable benefits for your metabolic health.

Breaking up the time you spend sitting with simple movement throughout the day can be enough to make a significant impact on your metabolic lab markers. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru shares the findings from a recent study that our friend Chris Kresser brought to his attention.

]]> 1736 no The Top Causes of Leaky Gut and How to Fix Them with Dr. Elroy Vojdani https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/the-top-causes-of-leaky-gut-and-how-to-fix-them-with-dr-elro This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Pendulum. Most of us do not recognize the degree to which digestive problems can wreak havoc in the entire body, leading to allergies, arthritis, autoimmune disease, rashes, acne, chronic fatigue, mood disorders, autism, dementia, cancer, and more. So having a healthy gut means more than simply being free of annoyances like bloating or heartburn; it is absolutely central to your health. Your gut is connected to everything that happens in your body. That is why Functional Medicine almost always starts helping people treat chronic health problems by fixing their gut. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Elroy Vojdani about why the gut is so heavily involved in immune regulation, how leaky gut (also known as intestinal permeability) happens, and what to do about it.  Dr. Vojdani is the founder of Re-genera Medical, a boutique Functional Medicine practice in Los Angeles, California, and the author of When Food Bites Back: Taking Control of Autoimmune Disease. Dr. V began his career as an interventional radiologist, diagnosing and treating complex, late-stage cancers, and other extremely debilitating diseases. Today, he continues in his father’s footsteps–pioneering to find answers to medical conditions that go undiagnosed and untreated.   In this episode, we dive into:   -The top ailments where leaky gut is part of the equation (3:15) -The connection between leaky gut and brain health (11:17) -What can create the onset of leaky gut besides food (22:30) -How antibiotics impact the gut (32:34) -How food additives can aggravate leaky gut (41:21) -The top foods that can cause leaky gut (50:05) -Why autoimmune conditions are more common in women (53:33) -At-home tests for leaky gut (1:05:24) -The five most common foods that people will develop antibodies to (1:10:11) -How to heal a leaky gut (1:19:00) For more on Dr. Elroy Vojdani, follow him on Instagram @regeneramedical, Facebook @regeneramedical, Twitter @regeneramedical, YouTube @elroyvojdani, and through his website, regeneramedical.com.

]]> 2464 no Why Muscle is the Key for Longevity with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/why-muscle-is-the-key-for-longevity-with-dr-gabrielle-lyon This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and Birch Living. Skeletal muscle is a widely overlooked part of our metabolic health.  From how well we control glucose and insulin to how well we age, skeletal muscle regulates many processes. One of the most important factors for how much muscle we create and retain is our protein intake, which has become a divisive topic in the nutrition world and one still hotly debated in some dietary camps. Today’s guest on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, is the perfect person to sort through the facts on the powers of skeletal muscle and how to consume protein for optimal impact.  Dr. Lyon is a Washington University fellowship-trained physician in Nutritional Science and Geriatrics and is board certified in Family Medicine. She is the founder of the Institute for Muscle Centric-Medicine™ and has a private practice that services leaders, innovators, mavericks, and executives in a number of fields. In addition, Dr. Lyon also works closely with special-operations military personnel. Her goal is to change the paradigm of medicine from obesity-focused to muscle-centric and change the way we think about health and medicine with high scientific integrity.  In this episode, we dive into: -The importance of muscle when it comes to our health (4:16) -The connection between muscle and metabolic health (16:06) -Myths about dietary protein (18:41) -Aging, longevity, and protein consumption (31:22) -Optimal lab levels when eating a protein-centric diet (49:20) -Dr. Lyon’s diet (59:27) -Why breakfast is the most important meal of the day (1:00:38) -Women and fasting (1:04:32) -How to know if you are under-muscled (1:08:03) -Does the quality of animal protein really matter? (1:27:03) -Cancer and protein consumption (1:49:50) For more on Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, follow her on Instagram @drgabriellelyon, Facebook @doctorgabriellelyon, Twitter @drgabriellelyon, YouTube @drgabriellelyon, and through her website, drgabriellelyon.com.

We all know that fasting has amazing benefits: reduced inflammation, increased cognitive function, fat loss, decreased risk of metabolic dysfunction, and the list goes on and on. 


But is there a correct way to fast? Is fasting for everyone? Should we exercise while we fast? How do we make the most of our fasts and how do we optimize our diets when we aren’t fasting? 


Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dr. Valter Longo answers all of these questions and more. Dhru and Dr. Longo discuss the key pillars of the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), created by Dr. Longo to provide the body with the benefits of fasting without completely starving it. They also dive into the foundation of a longevity diet—how can we increase our lifespan and our healthspan using targeted nutrients and dietary protocols. 


Dr. Longo is internationally recognized as a leader in the field of aging studies and related diseases. Known as the “Guru of Longevity,” Dr. Longo is currently Professor of Biogerontology and Biological Sciences and Director of the Institute of Longevity of the School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California, as well as Director of the Oncology and Longevity Program at IFOM in Milan. He is also the Scientific Director of the Create Cures Foundation and the Valter Longo Foundation. Valter is the author of The Longevity Diet, a culmination of his 25 years of research on aging, nutrition, and disease across the globe. It provides an easy-to-understand, accessible, and implementable road map to living well longer through improved nutrition.

]]> 4660 yes A Five-Minute Morning Routine That Anyone Can Do with Dhru Purohit https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/a-five-minute-morning-routine-that-anyone-can-do-with-dhru-p This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Vivobarefoot. Are you a fan of morning routines but have trouble staying consistent with them? If your answer is “YES!” this episode is for you! Here’s the thing about morning routines: how you start your morning often sets the tone for the rest of your day. When we jump straight into our social media feed, the news, or the priorities of others, our day gets hijacked right from the start, leaving us feeling unrooted, ungrounded, scattered, unfocused, and uninspired. Most of us know this to be true, yet so often I hear from my community that the most common reason they can’t stick to a morning routine is that they feel they don’t have enough time. Setting aside just five minutes (yes, five minutes) to nourish your mind and body in the morning is enough to transition into the day feeling calm, relaxed, and ready for whatever comes your way. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru shares an ultra-easy framework for morning routines that his dear friend, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, created so that anyone can implement it, stick to it, and maybe even look forward to it every morning.  Also mentioned in this episode: -Try This: A Five-Minute Morning Routine That Anyone Can Do -Happy Mind, Happy Life: The New Science of Mental Well-Being -Dr. Chatterjee’s morning routine For more on Dhru Purohit, follow him on Instagram @dhrupurohit, Facebook @dhruxpurohit, Twitter @dhrupurohit, YouTube @dhrupurohit, and TikTok @dhru.purohit.

]]> 1560 no The Top Foods to Prevent Disease and Repair DNA with Dr. William Li https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/the-top-foods-to-prevent-disease-and-repair-dna-with-dr-will This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and InsideTracker. Traditionally, advocates of nutrition for health maintain that with the right diet, medicine isn’t necessary—in other words, food is superior to medicine. Traditional advocates of medicine, by contrast, believe nutrition takes a back seat to medicine, which is all-powerful.   A growing body of data says both sides are wrong and that food and medicine can work together harmoniously, each enhancing the value of the other. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks with Dr. William Li about how food has the ability to combat and prevent things like cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and illness. They also discuss how certain foods can positively impact the effectiveness of medicine.

]]> 4587 no How Women Can Hack Their Hormones using the Power of Cycle Syncing with Dhru Purohit https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/how-women-can-hack-their-hormones-using-the-power-of-cycle-s This episode is brought to you by Birch Living. Women have an important biological rhythm they experience every month that affects their productivity, weight, sex drive, energy, and mood. It’s essential to stay aware of, but it has been widely ignored by medical, nutritional, and fitness research. Women often diet, deprive themselves, and cram as much as possible into their day, striving to accomplish impossible to-do lists. I see so many of them scheduling their lives based on a 24-hour time cycle, ignoring the intuitive time their bodies naturally keep: a monthly cycle with four hormonal phases. Understanding this offers some incredible advantages. That’s what today’s episode is all about. If you’re a woman in your reproductive years who’s feeling burnt out, low on energy, or just “off,” this one’s for you. And men, this one is also for you—understanding a woman’s unique rhythms can only improve and enhance your relationships with your wife, daughters, friends, and colleagues. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru dives into the world of the infradian rhythm and hormones with Taylor Groff, a Certified Nutrition Specialist, and cowriter of the Try This Newsletter. In this episode, we dive into:  -The infradian rhythm (6:14) -The pros and cons of hormonal birth control and correcting hormonal imbalances (26:10) -The root causes of hormonal imbalances (30:15) -The Cycle Syncing Method and understanding the four phases of a woman’s menstrual cycle (43:04) Also mentioned in this episode: -Try This: The Cycle Syncing Method  -Beeya Wellness -MyFLO Period Tracker App  -In the FLO: Unlock Your Hormonal Advantage and Revolutionize Your Life -Unlock Your Hormonal Advantage by Harnessing the Power of Your Infradian Rhythm with Alisa Vitti -Dr. Afrouz Demeri For more on Dhru Purohit, follow him on Instagram @dhrupurohit, YouTube @dhrupurohit, and TikTok @dhru.purohit.

]]> 4323 no Does Long-Term Use of Psychiatric Drugs Do More Harm Than Good? with Robert Whitaker https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/does-long-term-use-of-psychiatric-drugs-do-more-harm-than-go This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Pendulum. The world of pharmaceuticals is a deceiving one. While it might be easy to trust that any drug on the market today has been rigorously tested for efficacy and safety, that’s not always the case, especially when it comes to psychiatric drugs.  We’ve all heard the term “chemical imbalance,” and many people struggling with depression or other mood disorders have had this narrative hammered into them. They’re told that elevated or inadequate levels of neurotransmitters are to blame, but this theory is being increasingly questioned.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru digs into the questions surrounding psychiatric drugs with Robert Whitaker.  Robert Whitaker is the author of four books and coauthor of a fifth, three of which tell of the history of psychiatry. In 2010, his Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness won the US Investigative Reporters and Editors book award for best investigative journalism.  Prior to writing books, he worked as a science reporter at the Albany Times Union newspaper in New York, for a number of years. He is the founder of madinamerica.com, a website that features research news and blogs by an international group of writers interested in “rethinking psychiatry.” In this episode, we dive into:  -Does long-term use of psychiatric drugs do more harm than good? (4:29) -How short-term clinical trials are built to market drugs by pharmaceutical companies (23:59) -The chemical imbalance theory (31:04) -The long-term effects of psychiatric drugs (39:36) -Psychiatry’s disease model (49:18) -Rethinking the use of antipsychotics (50:14) -The importance of creating a new environment when it comes to treating mental illness (1:03:33) For more on Robert Whitaker, follow him on Instagram @madinamerica, Facebook @madinamerica, Twitter @mad_in_america, and through his website, madinamerica.com.

While it might be easy to trust that any drug on the market today has been rigorously tested for efficacy and safety, that’s not always the case, especially when it comes to psychiatric drugs.  We’ve all heard the term “chemical imbalance,” and many people struggling with depression or other mood disorders have had this narrative hammered into them. They’re told that elevated or inadequate levels of neurotransmitters are to blame, but this theory is being increasingly questioned.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru digs into the questions surrounding psychiatric drugs with Robert Whitaker.  Robert Whitaker is the author of four books and coauthor of a fifth, three of which tell of the history of psychiatry. In 2010, his Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness won the US Investigative Reporters and Editors book award for best investigative journalism.  Prior to writing books, he worked as a science reporter at the Albany Times Union newspaper in New York, for a number of years. He is the founder of madinamerica.com, a website that features research news and blogs by an international group of writers interested in “rethinking psychiatry.” In this episode, we dive into:  -Does long-term use of psychiatric drugs do more harm than good? (4:29) -How short-term clinical trials are built to market drugs by pharmaceutical companies (23:59) -The chemical imbalance theory (31:04) -The long-term effects of psychiatric drugs (39:36) -Psychiatry’s disease model (49:18) -Rethinking the use of antipsychotics (50:14) -The importance of creating a new environment when it comes to treating mental illness (1:03:33) For more on Robert Whitaker, follow him on Instagram @madinamerica, Facebook @madinamerica, Twitter @mad_in_america, and through his website, madinamerica.com.

This high-fat, low-carb approach to eating has become extremely popular in recent years for helping with everything from weight loss to cognition.   One cornerstone of the ketogenic diet is the idea that ketones are a powerful alternative fuel source for the human body. But as it turns out, ketones are not the magical fuel source they’ve been made out to be; in fact, the body cannot run on ketones and fats alone. Over the long term, a very low-carb diet can lead to muscle wasting and poor cognitive health.   Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks with Dr. Steven Gundry about the new science about what actually makes a keto diet so successful: a cellular process known as “mitochondrial uncoupling.” Dr. Gundry shares why it's the key to reversing your age and living your best, healthiest life.  In this episode, we dive into:    -Lifestyle factors that are contributing to metabolic inflexibility (3:48) -Understanding the history of ketones and what we got wrong about using them as fuel (7:33) -Mitochondrial uncoupling and how it impacts cellular aging (20:02) -Brown fat and mitochondrial uncoupling (27:12) -Why getting into ketosis is so difficult (29:04) -Traps of a keto diet (44:51) -The keys to mitochondrial uncoupling (1:05:44) -Dairy and the connection to longevity (1:29:06) -Traditional keto diet vs. Unlocking The Keto Code program (1:41:03) -Two powerful mitochondrial uncouplers (1:44:26)   Follow Dr. Gundry on Instagram @drstevengundry, and through his website, drgundry.com.

]]> 6609 no How to Hack Your Coffee to Lower Your LDL https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/how-to-hack-your-coffee This episode is brought to you by Pendulum and InsiderTracker. There’s a compound in coffee that can disrupt our metabolic health that most people aren’t aware of: cafestol. Cafestol is responsible for the oil in roasted coffee beans and is linked to high LDL cholesterol levels. Studies show that cafestol increases LDL cholesterol by suppressing LDL receptor activity and reducing the breakdown of LDL cholesterol. It has also been linked to higher total cholesterol and triglycerides, with little effect on HDL cholesterol. If you’re someone who drinks a lot of French press coffee and you have unexplained high LDL levels, this topic might be worth paying attention to. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru shares a super-simple hack to cut down on the cafestol in your cup that he learned from a recent conversation he had with our dear friend Max Lugavere in honor of the launch of his latest cookbook, Genius Kitchen.

The Birch is made right here in the US, out of 4 non-toxic, natural materials: organic latex, organic cotton, New Zealand wool, and American steel springs. If you’re looking for a new mattress, I highly recommend checking out the Birch. Right now they are giving my community $200 off all mattresses, plus 2 free eco-rest pillows.

At least 50 percent of adults in the United States have abnormal blood sugar levels and/or insulin resistance.

]]> 3565 no Hormonal Imbalances Can Ruin Your Life—Here’s How to Fix Them with Dr. Sara Gottfried https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/hormonal-imbalances-can-ruin-your-lifeheres-how-to-fix-them- This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox, InsideTracker, and WHOOP. Mainstream medicine often fails us when it comes to hormonal imbalances. Hormones aren’t commonly tested, even when there is a high likelihood of an issue (like cortisol in our overly stressed culture). Since there are so many hormones that can become dysregulated, presenting with a wide variety of symptoms, many of the symptoms are written off to aging and never addressed.  On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, we are re-sharing Dhru’s interview with Dr. Sara Gottfried. Dhru and Dr. Gottfried take a deep dive into the topic of hormonal imbalances, along with what you can do to get them back on track.  Dr. Gottfried is a board-certified physician who practices evidence-based integrative, precision, and Functional Medicine. She is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at Thomas Jefferson University, and Director of Precision Medicine at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health. In this episode, we dive into:  -Common hormone imbalances that have become normalized in society (7:30) -Signs and symptoms of hormone imbalances (11:06) -Dr. Gottfried’s personal journey of learning how to balance her hormones (19:56) -The top 3 things to prioritize when addressing hormone imbalances (34:31) -Understanding the unique biology of women when it comes to balancing hormones (46:08) -How to uncover the root cause of hormone imbalances (52:07) -How chronic cardio negatively impacts cortisol levels (1:00:58) -The top 3 mistakes when it comes to diet and how it impacts our hormones (1:08:02) -How to improve metabolic flexibility (1:12:07)  -The key pillars of The Gottfried Protocol (1:25:17)    For more on Dr. Gottfried, visit her website saragottfriedmd.com.

These days, we hear a lot about fasting. Intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating, and water fasting are just some of the many terms being thrown around in support of better health. But which one is best? And what does it all mean for our longevity, brain health, and overall wellness? Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru and Dr. Alan Goldhamer dive deep into the topic of water-only fasting: how it can troubleshoot our biology, boost our energy, and decrease our risk of disease.

He is also the principal author of two landmark studies that showed evidence of the benefits of water-only fasting, as well as numerous case reports published in peer reviewed indexed journals evaluating the effects of water-only fasting in the treatment of a variety of conditions.   In this episode, we dive into:  -Misconceptions about water-only fasting (4:22) -Who is a candidate for a medically supervised, water-only fast (8:09)  -Body composition changes in long-term fasting (10:53) -The benefits of long-term, medically supervised, water-only fasting (13:13)  -Gender considerations for fasting (16:08)  -Fasting safety study (17:57) -What happens in the body during a long-term, water-only fast (22:11) -How fasting has the ability to reset our dopamine dependency (31:05)  -The best way to fast from the comfort of your home (35:07)  -How fasting impacts lifespan (46:45)    For more on Dr. Alan Goldhamer, follow him on Instagram @thetruenorthhealthcenter, Facebook @truenorthhealth, and through his websites truenorthhealthfoundation.org and healthpromoting.com.

]]> 4293 no Breaking Free from Tribalism and Celebrating Nuance with Africa Brooke https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/breaking-free-from-tribalism-and-celebrating-nuance-with-afr This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and InsideTracker. We’re living in an extremely divisive time, where many people want to put a clear label on other people and topics. This makes it easier to file them under something we either agree or disagree with and takes the effort of thoughtfulness out of the process.  But this approach isn’t serving us well. It limits us from discovering common ground and changing our minds. It only leads to more close-mindedness and more division. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Africa Brooke about breaking free from tribalism and learning how to exist, and even celebrate, being in the gray area.  Africa Brooke is a globally recognized consultant, coach, speaker, and writer who specializes in helping people move through self-censorship and other forms of self-sabotage. Her work takes a close look at the complexity, mess, and glory that is the human experience, and she makes a strong case for why we need to accept discomfort as an essential part of the growth process. In this episode, we dive into: -Celebrating and living in the gray (9:17) -Why we can’t project our opinions and viewpoints on other people (13:52) -Understanding how people arrive at their thinking (22:57) -Africa’s sobriety journey (32:54)  -Examples of how self-censorship shows up in our lives (1:08:52) -Cancel culture and collective sabotage (1:15:07) -How outrage can be a very useful tool (1:21:08) -The power of discernment and why it’s a valuable tool we can all benefit from (1:32:21) -How polarization is dividing us (1:34:26)  -Acceptance and holding multiple truths (1:40:42)   Also mentioned in this episode:   -Beyond the Self Podcast - Episode 18 - Do you know what you stand for?   For more on Africa Brooke, follow her on Instagram @africabrooke and through her website, africabrooke.com.

We’re living in an extremely divisive time, where many people want to put a clear label on other people and topics. This makes it easier to file them under something we either agree or disagree with and takes the effort of thoughtfulness out of the process. 


But this approach isn’t serving us well. It limits us from discovering common ground and changing our minds. It only leads to more close-mindedness and more division.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Africa Brooke about breaking free from tribalism and learning how to exist, and even celebrate, being in the gray area.

Welcome to the Big Idea of the Week! On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, we are resharing a solo episode with Dhru where he talks about five common reasons why we say “I don’t know what I want!” and strategies to get around them. These reasons include: 1) We haven’t taken the time to slow down, cut out the distractions, and ask ourselves the question. 2) We don’t even know what’s possible because we haven’t looked outside our comfort zone. 3) We’re too focused on making the wrong decision instead of just taking the first step. 4) We actually do know what we want; we’re just afraid to be honest and admit it to ourselves. 5) We are trying to rush an answer in an area of life that just takes time.

]]> 2123 no The Bitter Truth About Sugar & How It's Destroying Your Health with Dr. Robert Lustig https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/the-bitter-truth-about-sugar-how-its-destroying-your-health- This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and InsideTracker. Seventy-four percent of products in the grocery store are spiked with some kind of sugar. The food industry has done this on purpose to keep you coming back for more.  Here’s the thing: The liver can innately process a small amount of sugar packaged in a real food, like a piece of whole fruit. But when it comes to large amounts in our food supply—and regularly eating lots of concentrated fructose in particular—we are poisoning our liver and mitochondria, and severely disrupting our microbiome.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Robert Lustig about the real dangers of eating too much sugar and how to take better care of our metabolic health. Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He’s the Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology and a member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. He is also one of the leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the food industry, in part through his game-changing books. His latest work is Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine. In this episode, we dive into:  -Understanding the difference between cells growing and burning, and what this has to do with disease (7:51)  -The eight chronic metabolic diseases (16:04) -The eight subcellular pathologies that underlie metabolic diseases (19:24) -How to fix the eight subcellular pathologies (22:47)  -The calorie myth (31:10) -The biggest sources of fructose in our diet (45:40) -The four substrates in our food supply that damage mitochondria (53:11) -How fructose can cause leaky gut (58:24)  -Alcohol, sugar addiction, and how to safely enjoy dessert (1:19:24) -What you can do to create change in our food system (1:33:49)   For more on Dr. Robert Lustig, follow him on Facebook @drrobertlustig, Twitter @robertlustigmd, YouTube @robertlustig, and through his website https://robertlustig.com/.

Do These 3 Things! https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/are-you-a-chronic-people-pleaser-do-these-3-things This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Vivobarefoot. People-pleasing looks like saying “yes” to everything or being the person who’s always there for anything that’s needed.   People-pleasing comes from codependency dynamics—where we gain our sense of self through what other people think of us. This usually means having no boundaries and neglecting our own needs in the process.

]]> 3372 no The Top Lab Tests to Determine Whether or Not You’re Actually Healthy with Dr. Casey Means https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/the-top-lab-tests-to-determine-whether-or-not-youre-actually This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and InsideTracker. The word “metabolism” gets tossed around quite a bit, usually in the context of weight loss.  It’s important to realize that our metabolic health is so much more than that—it’s the way our 37 trillion cells create energy, so that we can do all the things we want to do in life, big and small.  With that in mind, it’s pretty alarming to note that nine of the ten leading causes of death in the US are directly caused or worsened by poor blood sugar control and declines in other metabolic markers. Chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and more are all linked in one way or another to various metabolic dysfunctions.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Casey Means about the best ways to dial-in our metabolic health and take back control of how we feel and how we age.  Dr. Casey Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention, and a lecturer at Stanford University.    In this episode, we dive into:    -The top three lab tests to determine if your metabolic health is optimal (6:25) -The cholesterol panel and heart disease risk (22:52)  -Why triglycerides are so important to look at when it comes to metabolic health (25:53) -Optimal triglyceride levels and understanding the triglyceride/HDL ratio (32:57)  -Optimal fasting insulin levels (35:50)  -How long it takes to adjust numbers on lab tests (46:27)  -Optimal hemoglobin A1c levels (52:18) -Inflammation and C-reactive protein (1:04:36) -How exercise impacts glucose and insulin response (1:18:29) -Recommended yearly lab tests and optimal levels (1:33:00) For more on Dr. Casey Means, follow her on Instagram @drcaseyskitchen and @levels, Twitter @drcaseyskitchen and @levels, and through her website https://www.levelshealth.com.

The United States spends an excess of $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries—yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks at 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health care professionals. This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sat down with Dr. John Abramson to talk about the inside story of how Big Pharma’s relentless pursuit of ever-higher profits corrupts medical knowledge—misleading doctors, misdirecting American health care, and harming our health. Dr. Abramson is the author of the new book, Sickening, and has been on the faculty of Harvard Medical School for twenty-five years, where he teaches health care policy. He also served as a family physician for 22 years, during which he was named a “top doctor” six times in local, state, and national surveys. He served as an unpaid consultant to the FBI and Department of Justice, including in a case that resulted in the largest criminal fine in U.S. history. He is also the author of Overdo$ed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine.   In this episode, we dive into:  -Big Pharma’s best-kept secret (10:25) -The first trial of a drug company found guilty of fraud and racketeering (25:34)  -Insulin and the exploitation of diabetes (26:37)  -The core relationship between pharmaceutical companies and doctors (27:39)  -Understanding absolute risk vs. relative risk for pharmaceutical drugs (31:16) -How data manipulation led to excess deaths from the drug Vioxx (40:39) -Why pharmaceutical companies are able to skirt accountability (44:09)  -Where the budget for the FDA to oversee human products comes from (49:52) -Vaccines for children, boosters, political inputs, and FDA resignations (58:16) -What we can do to actually change the system (1:24:00)  This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, InsideTracker, and Eight Sleep.

We’re constantly learning more and more about COVID-19. How it interacts with our immune systems, risk factors, and hospitalization and death rates are all topics that are extensively covered in the news.  But the origin of COVID is something that is much less talked about.

He holds 87 US patents and has invented seven FDA-approved pharmaceuticals which have helped over 80 million people. He is the author of the bestselling book on surviving the pandemic, Stay Safe: A Physician's Guide to Survive Coronavirus.

In fact, in 2018, the World Health Organization added “burnout” as a diagnosable medical condition. Today, more than 90 percent of US workers say they feel it’s difficult to wake up and they don’t have the will or a way to try. On top of that, one in five Americans has clinical anxiety. One in twelve has major depression. Ten percent of all kids are diagnosed with ADHD, a condition that doesn’t magically disappear on someone’s 18th birthday.  This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sat down with Dr. Robin Berzin to talk about why we are all anxious, tired, burned out, and depressed, and what we can do about it.  Dr. Berzin is the Founder and CEO of Parsley Health, America's leading holistic medical practice designed to help women overcome chronic conditions. She founded Parsley to address the rising tide of chronic disease in America through personalized holistic medicine that puts food, lifestyle, and proactive diagnostic testing on the prescription pad next to medications. Parsley is available online nationwide.  In this episode, we dive into:   -The top three things that are zapping our energy (6:50)  -What is a “state change” and how can someone establish a new normal for how they feel on a daily basis (12:01)  -Dr. Berzin’s first state change, and how it led to a major shift that ultimately changed her life (17:03)  -The most common drivers of anxiety (28:18) -The core actions that have the biggest effect on our mood (32:33) -Common beliefs about sleep that are not true (39:58) -How Dr. Berzin supports her physical, emotional, and mental health (45:18)  -How to reboot our relationship with technology (49:57)  -How to personalize intermittent fasting (57:38)  -Promising research around psychedelics and how they are capable of reversing mood disorders (1:01:51)  For more on Dr. Robin Berzin, follow her on Instagram @robinberzinmd and through her website http://robinberzinmd.com.

]]> 5760 no #255: The Wild and Crazy Science on How to Age in Reverse with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/255-the-wild-and-crazy-science-on-how-to-age-in-reverse-with This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker, BiOptimizers, and Eight Sleep. It’s true: getting older is inevitable and our chronological age can only move in one direction. But we also have a biological age, which scientists can measure by assessing how our genes are expressed through epigenetics. This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sat down with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald to talk about the exciting new research that shows that our biological age can actually move in reverse and her groundbreaking, clinical trial that proved it’s possible. Dr. Fitzgerald received her doctorate of naturopathic medicine from the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon.

When you think back to what you ate today, yesterday, three weeks ago or even last year, how different is the food on your plate? Some people naturally include a wide range of diverse food when choosing their meals, but for many of us, it is easy to fall into a trap of eating the same foods day in and day out.   Did you know that by not consuming a diverse range of foods, you are missing out on the potential for many health benefits? Despite the promotion of superfoods, no single food contains all the necessary nutrients for overall health and wellness. By eating a balanced diet filled with a wide range of foods, it is easy to ensure that you consume adequate amounts of all essential nutrients. This not only reduces the risk of nutritional deficiencies; it also provides numerous health benefits.   This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sat down with Dr. Deanna Minich to talk about one simple thing anyone can do today to improve immune resilience, reduce overall chronic inflammation, and improve cognitive health.   Dr. Deanna Minich is an internationally-recognized teacher, author, scientist, speaker, and artist.

She has authored six books on health and wellness and over forty scientific publications. Currently, she is Vice President of Scientific Affairs for Organic India USA, President of the American College of Nutrition, and Faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine and the University of Western States. In this episode, we dive into:   -What diversity in our diet really means (10:29)  -How diversity in our diet impacts immune health (12:52) -Why diversity of our gut microbiome is so integral to overall health (22:43) -Phytochemicals, polyphenols, and how they influence the gut microbiome (26:15) -How heart health is impacted by gut microbiome diversity (36:15) -How to get your kids to eat more diverse foods (46:05) -How to test your food variety level (1:00:42) -How to incorporate more spices into your diet (1:11:47)  -Physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual diversity (1:24:42)  -How being in nature changes your immune system (1:29:51) For more on Dr. Deanna Minich, follow her on Instagram @deannaminich, and through her website www.deannaminich.com.

]]> 6629 no How Movement Radically Transforms The Brain (Rebroadcast) https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/how-movement-radically-transforms-the-brain-rebroadcast This episode is brought to you by AirDoctor. The most common explanation for why exercise makes us happy is far too simplistic. The psychological effects of movement cannot be reduced to just an endorphin rush. Physical activity influences many other brain chemicals, including those that give you energy, alleviate worry, and help you bond with others. It reduces inflammation in the brain, which over time can protect against depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Regular exercise also remodels the physical structure of your brain to make you more receptive to joy and social connection.    In today’s mini-episode, Dhru speaks with Dr. Kelly McGonigal, Ryan Glatt, and Dr. Rangan Chatterjee about how exercise can improve the treatment outcomes for depression and anxiety, how exercise decreases our chance of cognitive decline, and simple ways to build exercise into your everyday life. Dr. Kelly McGonigal is a health psychologist who specializes in understanding the mind-body connection. She is the bestselling author of The Willpower Instinct and The Upside of Stress. Her latest book, The Joy of Movement, explores why physical exercise is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Ryan Glatt is a personal trainer and brain-health coach with over a decade of experience in the health and fitness industry. He currently works alongside clinicians and researchers to study the effects of cognitively-enhanced and comprehensive exercise plans at the Pacific Brain Health Center in Santa Monica, California.  Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most influential medical doctors in the UK and wants to change how medicine will be practiced for years to come. His mission is to help 100 million people around the globe live better lives. He hosts the most listened to health podcast in the UK and Europe, Feel Better, Live More—which regularly tops the Apple Podcast charts and is listened to by over 2 million people every single month. Each of Dr. Chatterjee’s four books have been Sunday Times bestsellers including his latest, Feel Great, Lose Weight This episode is brought to you by AirDoctor. AirDoctor has an UltraHEPA filter that is 100 times more effective than ordinary HEPA filters plus a dual-action Carbon/Gas Trap/ VOC Filter, so it removes 100% of particles in the air and the vast majority of volatile organic chemicals and gases, like formaldehyde and ozone.

The most common explanation for why exercise makes us happy is far too simplistic. The psychological effects of movement cannot be reduced to just an endorphin rush. Physical activity influences many other brain chemicals, including those that give you energy, alleviate worry, and help you bond with others. It reduces inflammation in the brain, which over time can protect against depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Regular exercise also remodels the physical structure of your brain to make you more receptive to joy and social connection.

]]> 2560 no #252: The Latest Science on How to Turn Your Body’s Fat Storage Switch Off with Dr. Richard Johnson https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/252-the-latest-science-on-how-to-turn-your-bodys-fat-storage This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker. Why do we get fat? As Americans have gotten heavier over the past century, and disease rates have skyrocketed, there have been many theories: We’re eating too much fat. Too many carbs. An excess of sugar. Is it our lifestyle or our diet that’s to blame? Or could there be a single common cause that explains the sharp increase in not only obesity, but conditions as disparate as heart disease, cancer, and dementia?  This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sat down with Dr. Richard Johnson to talk about his team’s discovery of the fructose-powered survival switch—a metabolic pathway that animals in nature turn on and off as needed, but that our modern diet has permanently fixed in the on position, becoming a fat switch—and how it has revolutionized the way we think about why we gain weight.  Dr. Richard Johnson is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado in Denver and has been a practicing physician and clinical scientist for over 25 years. He is internationally recognized for his seminal work on the role of sugar and its component fructose, in obesity and diabetes. His work has also suggested a fundamental role for uric acid (which is generated during fructose metabolism) in metabolic syndrome.

Why do we get fat? As Americans have gotten heavier over the past century, and disease rates have skyrocketed, there have been many theories: We’re eating too much fat. Too many carbs. An excess of sugar. Is it our lifestyle or our diet that’s to blame? Or could there be a single common cause that explains the sharp increase in not only obesity, but conditions as disparate as heart disease, cancer, and dementia? 


This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sat down with Dr. Richard Johnson to talk about his team’s discovery of the fructose-powered survival switch—a metabolic pathway that animals in nature turn on and off as needed, but that our modern diet has permanently fixed in the on position, becoming a fat switch—and how it has revolutionized the way we think about why we gain weight. 


Dr. Richard Johnson is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado in Denver and has been a practicing physician and clinical scientist for over 25 years. He is internationally recognized for his seminal work on the role of sugar and its component fructose, in obesity and diabetes. His work has also suggested a fundamental role for uric acid (which is generated during fructose metabolism) in metabolic syndrome. His new book is entitled Nature Wants Us to Be Fat and will be published on February 8, 2022.


In this episode, we dive into: 


-Why nature wants us to get fat and why it’s important for survival (5:44)

-What triggers the fat storage switch (9:05)

-The central function of uric acid in the body (16:32)

-How uric acid, previously thought of only in terms of gout, is actually playing a central role in metabolic disorders (20:54)

-Understanding the difference between fructose and glucose (26:12)

-Why obesity is not a calories in, calories out problem (29:38)

-Why it’s fructose (not glucose) that drives insulin resistance and metabolic disease (49:51)

-The survival switch: why humans become fat (1:10:38)

-Alcohol consumption and obesity (1:33:54) 

-The surprising role salt and dehydration play in fat accumulation (1:48:45)

]]> 6444 no Sugar Is Making Us Fat, Tired, and Sick (Rebroadcast) https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/sugar-is-making-us-fat-tired-and-sick-mrebroadcast This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and ButcherBox. Most of us hear the term “metabolic health” and think it only applies to our ability to burn food and manage our weight. And while those are certainly big pieces of metabolic health, it also impacts everything from our cardiovascular health to cognition, mood, infertility, and so much more. That’s because our metabolism is actually our body’s ability to create energy and this happens all over the body. If our energy production in the brain is hindered, we could have memory loss; if it’s not functioning properly in muscle cells, we may see chronic pain—and the list goes on.  In today’s mini-episode, Dhru speaks with Dr. Benjamin Bikman and Dr. Casey Means about why insulin resistance has become so prevalent, and what makes us insulin resistant in the first place. They discuss how our diet and lifestyle have fundamentally changed in a way that greatly impacts how we regulate blood sugar, and how it’s wreaking havoc on our metabolic health. They also talk about how to reverse and prevent insulin resistance through specific diet and lifestyle modifications, and how we can use continuous blood glucose monitoring to dramatically improve our health. Dr. Benjamin Bikman is a renowned metabolic research scientist, and a popular speaker on human metabolism and nutrition. He is the author of Why We Get Sick, which offers a thought-provoking yet real solution to insulin resistance and how to reverse pre-diabetes, improve brain function, shed fat, and prevent diabetes.  Dr. Casey Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. Find Dhru’s full-length conversation with Dr. Benjamin Bikman here: https://lnk.to/dhru-154/ and Dr. Casey Means here: https://lnk.to/dhru-170/.

And while those are certainly big pieces of metabolic health, it also impacts everything from our cardiovascular health to cognition, mood, infertility, and so much more. That’s because our metabolism is actually our body’s ability to create energy and this happens all over the body. If our energy production in the brain is hindered, we could have memory loss; if it’s not functioning properly in muscle cells, we may see chronic pain—and the list goes on.  In today’s mini-episode, Dhru speaks with Dr. Benjamin Bikman and Dr. Casey Means about why insulin resistance has become so prevalent, and what makes us insulin resistant in the first place. They discuss how our diet and lifestyle have fundamentally changed in a way that greatly impacts how we regulate blood sugar, and how it’s wreaking havoc on our metabolic health. They also talk about how to reverse and prevent insulin resistance through specific diet and lifestyle modifications, and how we can use continuous blood glucose monitoring to dramatically improve our health. Dr. Benjamin Bikman is a renowned metabolic research scientist, and a popular speaker on human metabolism and nutrition. He is the author of Why We Get Sick, which offers a thought-provoking yet real solution to insulin resistance and how to reverse pre-diabetes, improve brain function, shed fat, and prevent diabetes.  Dr. Casey Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention.

]]> 6529 yes #248: Stop Suffering by Letting Go of Your “Story” with IN-Q https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/248-stop-suffering-by-letting-go-of-your-story-with-in-q Stop Suffering by Letting Go of Your “Story” | This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and Cozy Earth. We create our own realities—it’s all in how we think about life. Ever notice how a growth mindset leads to opportunity and success and how a poverty mindset leaves you with nothing but want, and often spirals downwards into an ongoing funk? We have to use our physical state to change our mental state, and vice versa. There’s a feedback loop between our bodies and brains, which is why mindset and behavior are so powerful for creating the reality we desire.  This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sat down for an insightful talk with poet IN-Q, on how to break free from the stories we create for ourselves, how to step into a growth mindset, and how to cultivate intentional and meaningful relationships.  IN-Q is a National Poetry Slam champion, award-winning poet, and multi-platinum songwriter. His groundbreaking achievements include being named to Oprah's SuperSoul 100 list of the world's most influential thought leaders, being the first spoken word artist to perform with Cirque Du Soleil, and being featured on A&E, ESPN, and HBO's Def Poetry Jam. In this episode, we dive into:   -“Goldfish,” a poem by IN-Q (6:12)  -One of the most meaningful things we can do to grow (22:28)  -Dhru’s gratitude hack (25:24)  -Creating a meaningful tribe around you (26:54) -What is Love,” a poem by IN-Q (40:48)  -The illusion of time (55:44) -Who would you be without your problems (59:29) -Rituals and traditions that Dhru and IN-Q have brought into their partnerships (1:18:21) -The practice of loving yourself (1:37:46) -“Breathe,” a poem by IN-Q (1:52:55) For more on IN-Q, follow him on Instagram @inqlife, on YouTube @inqonline, and through his website https://in-q.com.

But it all came crashing down after developing an autoimmune thyroid condition, chronic fatigue syndrome, and dysautonomia. Mysterious symptoms began consuming her body—test after test came back “within” normal limits,” baffling her and her doctors. She was housebound for two years with two young children, and she began a solo odyssey from her living room couch to find a way to heal.  In this episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Cynthia Li to talk about her disabling autoimmune illness, the limitations of Western medicine, and her hard-won lessons on healing—mind, body, and spirit. Dr. Cynthia Li received her medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Her personal health challenges led her to integrative and Functional Medicine, and she currently has a private practice in Berkeley, CA. She serves on the faculty of the Healer’s Art program at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, and she is the author of Brave New Medicine: A Doctor’s Unconventional Path to Healing Her Autoimmune Illness. In this episode, we dive into:  -How Dr. Li came to discover her autoimmune disease (5:56) -The importance of not being attached to one healing modality (12:53) -How Dr. Li’s mindset was a big obstruction to seeking alternative help (18:06) -Why we have to distance ourselves from our diagnosis (33:22) -One of the first things Dr. Li did to heal her illness (39:35)  -How Dr. Li learned to tune into her own intuition and use it to guide her (43:19) -Key pillars that were crucial in Dr. Li’s healing (55:55)  -The impact qigong had on her healing journey (59:01) -Hitting rock bottom for the second time (1:00:34) -Dr. Li’s qigong practice (1:12:33) For more on Dr. Cynthia Li follow her on Facebook @dr.cynthia.li and through her website https://cynthialimd.com/.

Now, not only do we know that’s not true, we know that we need to actually get more of certain fats in order to optimize our health.  That’s where omega-3s come in. They are integral to the structure, function, and fluidity of virtually every cell in the human body, but most of the world is deficient in them. EPA and DHA are the key players, with major organs like our brains, hearts, eyes, and skin all depending on them to do their jobs properly. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru walks us through the importance of omega-3s for our health, inside and out.  In this episode, we dive into:  -Why we are so deficient in omega-3 fats (8:47) -The challenge with plant-based omega-3s (10:12) -Why a balanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is important (12:12) -How to test omega-3 levels (13:56) -Who would benefit most from testing their omega-3 index (15:38) -Signs and symptoms of omega-3 deficiency (24:30) -Concerns about mercury in seafood (29:26) -Pregnancy and fish consumption (32:02)  -How to lower your omega-6 intake (34:37) -Why you should consider supplementing with omega-3s (37:42)  -Omega-3 supplement brand recommendations (40:01) Also mentioned in this episode: -Try This: Raise Your Omega-3s - https://dhrupurohit.com/try-this-raise-your-omega-3/ -Sign up for Dhru’s Try This Newsletter - https://dhrupurohit.com/newsletter -Omegaquant Test - https://omegaquant.com/shop/ For more on Dhru Purohit, follow him on Instagram @dhrupurohit, and on YouTube @dhrupurohit.

That’s where omega-3s come in. They are integral to the structure, function, and fluidity of virtually every cell in the human body, but most of the world is deficient in them. EPA and DHA are the key players, with major organs like our brains, hearts, eyes, and skin all depending on them to do their jobs properly.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru walks us through the importance of omega-3s for our health, inside and out. 


In this episode, we dive into: 


-Why we are so deficient in omega-3 fats (8:47)

-The challenge with plant-based omega-3s (10:12)

-Why a balanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is important (12:12)

-How to test omega-3 levels (13:56)

-Who would benefit most from testing their omega-3 index (15:38)

-Signs and symptoms of omega-3 deficiency (24:30)

-Concerns about mercury in seafood (29:26)

-Pregnancy and fish consumption (32:02)

]]> 5156 no #244: The New Mind-Blowing Science of Breathing with James Nestor https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/244-the-new-mind-blowing-science-of-breathing-with-james-nes The New Mind-Blowing Science of Breathing | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and Cozy Earth. Most of us go throughout the day without giving the act of breathing a single thought. Considering how impactful the way we breathe is on our physical and mental health though, I think it’s time we change that. Breathing is such an underrecognized topic in the health space that today we’re resharing an in-depth episode all about it, with author James Nestor. How well our body takes in oxygen impacts our health on every level. From how well we sleep to our stress response and even our metabolism, breath is an incredible tool for optimizing health. On this episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to James Nestor about the forgotten power of breathing and how we can tap into it to dramatically improve how we feel.  James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, The New York Times, and more. His latest book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, was released in May of this year and was an instant New York Times bestseller. Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly--and how to get it back.  In this episode, we dive into:   -How important our breathing process is to human health (2:59)  -How our breath influences so much of our health (10:43)   -Stanford University breathing experiment (12:40)  -How our modern industrial diet has impacted the way we breathe (16:08)  -How lung capacity is synonymous with longevity (25:54)  -How breathing less increases oxygen and CO2 (31:01)  -How to establish better nasal breathing (47:39)  -Mouth breathing and dehydration (54:45)  -The importance of eliciting a parasympathetic response before you eat (59:39) -How to breathe in order to reduce inflammation in the body (1:00:56)  -Are we getting enough oxygen when we wear a mask?

Most of us go throughout the day without giving the act of breathing a single thought. Considering how impactful the way we breathe is on our physical and mental health though, I think it’s time we change that. Breathing is such an underrecognized topic in the health space that today we’re resharing an in-depth episode all about it, with author James Nestor. How well our body takes in oxygen impacts our health on every level. From how well we sleep to our stress response and even our metabolism, breath is an incredible tool for optimizing health. On this episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to James Nestor about the forgotten power of breathing and how we can tap into it to dramatically improve how we feel.  James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, The New York Times, and more. His latest book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, was released in May of this year and was an instant New York Times bestseller. Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly--and how to get it back.  In this episode, we dive into:   -How important our breathing process is to human health (2:59)  -How our breath influences so much of our health (10:43)   -Stanford University breathing experiment (12:40)  -How our modern industrial diet has impacted the way we breathe (16:08)  -How lung capacity is synonymous with longevity (25:54)  -How breathing less increases oxygen and CO2 (31:01)  -How to establish better nasal breathing (47:39)  -Mouth breathing and dehydration (54:45)  -The importance of eliciting a parasympathetic response before you eat (59:39) -How to breathe in order to reduce inflammation in the body (1:00:56)  -Are we getting enough oxygen when we wear a mask?

For decades we have been taught that fat is bad for us, and that the key to a healthy weight is eating less and exercising more.

He is the author of The Case Against Sugar, Why We Get Fat, Good Calories, Bad Calories, and, most recently, The Case for Keto.    Gary is a former staff writer for Discover and correspondent for Science.

He has received three Science in Society Journalism Awards from the National Association of Science Writers, and is also the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research.   In this episode, we dive into:  -The real cause of weight gain and obesity (7:53) -The missing piece when it comes to obesity research (8:55)  -Why people who fatten easily can get fat eating exactly as lean healthy people do (14:39)  -Why the obesity and diabetes epidemics continue to get worse (19:33)  -The safety of a low-carb, high-fat diet (29:09) -Why obesity is not a calories in, calories out problem (42:44) -The carbohydrate-insulin model and obesity (47:26)  -Foods that cause hormonal imbalances and cause our body to store excess fat (53:29) -Why carbohydrate abstinence needs to be approached the same way we approach other addictions (1:02:01) -The connection between insulin resistance and chronic disease (1:07:48)   Also mentioned in this episode: -The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model: A Physiological Perspective on the Obesity Pandemic - https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/advance-article/doi/10.1093/ajcn/nqab270/6369073 -How a ‘Fatally, Tragically Flawed’ Paradigm has Derailed the Science of Obesity -  https://www.statnews.com/2021/09/13/how-a-fatally-tragically-flawed-paradigm-has-derailed-the-science-of-obesity/ -What If It’s All Been A Big Fat Lie - https://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/07/magazine/what-if-it-s-all-been-a-big-fat-lie.html   -The Doctor’s Farmacy Podcast Episode #166 - Who Should Eat Keto and Why - https://drhyman.com/blog/2021/04/14/podcast-ep166/   -Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health by Gary Taubes - https://amzn.to/3CTeWXr   For more on Gary you can follow him on Twitter @garytaubes, and through his website http://garytaubes.com/.

The brain is capable of some incredible and life-altering changes. The hippocampus actually creates 700 new stem cells every single day, meaning the brain can regenerate, improve, and heal from traumatic injuries and other significant insults to function better than ever.  We’re more successful at this when we know what the underlying causes of dysfunction are. The brain is one organ that is often treated without ever being seen. Imaging provides us with an amazing look at what areas of the brain are suffering. We can also look at our habits, genetic predispositions, emotional and physical health history, environment, and many other factors to understand the root of brain imbalances.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to our good friend and colleague, Dr. Daniel Amen, about all this and more.  Dr. Amen is a physician, double board-certified psychiatrist, twelve-time New York Times bestselling author, and founder of Amen Clinics, with 10 clinics across the United States. Amen Clinics has the world’s largest database of brain SPECT scans related to behavior, totaling nearly 200,000 scans on patients from 150 countries.   Dr. Amen’s research team has published more than 80 scientific articles on his work, and Discover Magazine named his research using SPECT to distinguish posttraumatic stress disorder from traumatic brain injury as one of the top 100 stories in science for 2015.  Dr. Amen is the author of many books including the mega-bestseller Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, as well as The End of Mental Illness, Memory Rescue, Healing ADD, and The Daniel Plan, written with Dr. Mark Hyman and Pastor Rick Warren. In March 2021, he released Your Brain Is Always Listening: Tame the Hidden Dragons That Control Your Happiness, Habits and Hang Ups.    In this episode, we dive into:  -How improving your brain health improves every aspect of your life (7:35) -Why Dr. Amen hates the term mental illness (12:50) -What you do to your brain you do to your body (14:24) -The hidden forces that are having a dramatic impact on our brain and bodies (17:32) -What Dr. Amen did to take control of his brain health (24:04) -How to have mastery over the health of your brain and body (28:52) -How influences from your past steal your happiness (33:52) -How mold can wreak havoc on the brain (48:34) -How to get control over the inflammation in your body and brain (55:21) -Common reasons why people get derailed from following through on a plan (1:01:33)   Also mentioned in this episode: -The UltraMind Solution by Dr. Mark Hyman - https://amzn.to/3Czdjyg   -Amen Clinics - http://amenclinics.com   -Know Your Dragon’s Quiz - https://knowyourdragons.com/   -The Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast - https://brainwarriorswaypodcast.com/   -Brain Thrive by 25 Course - https://www.amenuniversity.com/brain-thrive-by-25-basic -Change Your Brain, Change Your Life Foundation - https://changeyourbrain.org/   -I Told You So!

The brain is capable of some incredible and life-altering changes. The hippocampus actually creates 700 new stem cells every single day, meaning the brain can regenerate, improve, and heal from traumatic injuries and other significant insults to function better than ever. 


We’re more successful at this when we know what the underlying causes of dysfunction are. The brain is one organ that is often treated without ever being seen. Imaging provides us with an amazing look at what areas of the brain are suffering. We can also look at our habits, genetic predispositions, emotional and physical health history, environment, and many other factors to understand the root of brain imbalances. 


Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to our good friend and colleague, Dr. Daniel Amen, about all this and more. 


Dr. Amen is a physician, double board-certified psychiatrist, twelve-time New York Times bestselling author, and founder of Amen Clinics, with 10 clinics across the United States. Amen Clinics has the world’s largest database of brain SPECT scans related to behavior, totaling nearly 200,000 scans on patients from 150 countries.  


Dr. Amen’s research team has published more than 80 scientific articles on his work, and Discover Magazine named his research using SPECT to distinguish posttraumatic stress disorder from traumatic brain injury as one of the top 100 stories in science for 2015. 


Dr. Amen is the author of many books including the mega-bestseller Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, as well as The End of Mental Illness, Memory Rescue, Healing ADD, and The Daniel Plan, written with Dr. Mark Hyman and Pastor Rick Warren. In March 2021, he released Your Brain Is Always Listening: Tame the Hidden Dragons That Control Your Happiness, Habits and Hang Ups. 

 

In this episode, we dive into: 

-How improving your brain health improves every aspect of your life (7:35)

-Why Dr. Amen hates the term mental illness (12:50)

-What you do to your brain you do to your body (14:24)

-The hidden forces that are having a dramatic impact on our brain and bodies (17:32)

Mainstream medicine often fails us when it comes to hormonal imbalances. Hormones aren’t commonly tested, even when there is a high likelihood of an issue (like cortisol in our overly stressed culture). Since there are so many hormones that can become dysregulated, presenting with a wide variety of symptoms, many of the symptoms are written off to aging and never addressed.  In this episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru takes a deep dive into the topic of hormonal imbalances with Dr. Sara Gottfried, along with what you can do to get them back on track.  Dr. Sara Gottfried is a board-certified physician who graduated from Harvard and MIT. She practices evidence-based integrative, precision, and Functional Medicine. She is Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at Thomas Jefferson University, and Director of Precision Medicine at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health. Her three New York Times bestselling books include The Hormone Cure, The Hormone Reset Diet, and Younger. Her latest book is Women, Food, and Hormones.    In this episode, we dive into:  -Common hormone imbalances that have become normalized in society (7:25) -Signs and symptoms of hormone imbalances (11:35)  -Dr. Gottfried’s personal journey of learning how to balance her hormones (20:25)  -The top 3 things to prioritize when addressing hormone imbalances (34:46)  -Understanding the unique biology of women when it comes to balancing hormones (44:12)  -How to uncover the root cause of hormone imbalances (50:10)  -How chronic cardio negatively impacts cortisol levels (58:39)  -The top 3 mistakes when it comes to diet and how it impacts our hormones (1:05:59) -How to improve metabolic flexibility (1:10:11)  -The key pillars of The Gottfried Protocol (1:23:21)    Also mentioned in this episode: -Breathing Zone App - https://breathing.zone/   -Perceived Stress Scale Test - https://www.bemindfulonline.com/test-your-stress   -Continuous Glucose Monitors -  -Levels - levels.link/dhru -January AI - https://january.ai -ZOE - https://joinzoe.com/ -NutriSense - https://www.nutrisense.io/ -Abbott - https://www.abbott.com/ -Dexcom - https://www.dexcom.com/ -Keto-Mojo (ketone and glucose monitor) - https://keto-mojo.com/   For more on Dr. Gottfried you can follow her on Instagram @saragottfriedmd, on Facebook @drgottfried, on Twitter @gottfriedsara, on YouTube @drgottfried, and through her website https://www.saragottfriedmd.com.

]]> 6448 no #237: 3 Steps to Reverse Autoimmune Disease with Dr. Terry Wahls https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/237-3-steps-to-reverse-autoimmune-disease-with-dr-terry-wahl 3 Steps to Reverse Autoimmune Disease | This episode is brought to you by BLUblox and Paleovalley. In health and medicine, we must always be willing to look deeper. We can’t give up on looking for healing solutions just because we’ve always been told a disease is progressive and incurable.  That’s one of the many reasons I’m so inspired by today’s guest on The Dhru Purohit Podcast. Dr. Terry Wahls received a diagnosis of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and, instead of accepting a rapid decline in her function and quality of life, dove headfirst into looking for answers with long-lasting results. Dr. Wahls didn’t buy into the limits defined by her diagnosis and has completely changed the future of MS research and treatment options in the process.   Dr. Terry Wahls is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa where she conducts clinical trials. In 2018, she was awarded the Institute for Functional Medicine’s Linus Pauling Award for her contributions in research, clinical care, and patient advocacy.  Dr. Wahls was confined to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years. She restored her health using a diet and lifestyle program she designed specifically for her brain and now pedals her bike to work each day. She is the author of The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles, and the cookbook The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life.   In this episode, we dive into:  -Dr. Wahls’ story of being diagnosed with MS and how her transformation happened (7:42)  -How conventional medicine looks at health and disease vs. Functional Medicine (16:13)  -How to uncover the root cause of an autoimmune condition (23:01)  -The role toxin exposure plays when it comes to autoimmune conditions (34:30) -Signs that an autoimmune condition is brewing (39:06) -The first thing to think about when addressing an autoimmune condition (41:13)  -How eating 9+ cups of vegetables a day had a huge role in turning around Dr. Wahls’ health (51:38)  -The healing benefits of organ meats (59:51)  -Practical ways to increase vegetable consumption (1:09:45)  -What role anti-nutrients might play when it comes to autoimmune conditions (1:12:09)  -What Dr. Wahls’ diet looks like on a daily basis (1:16:27)  -The power of movement when it comes to healing an autoimmune condition (1:23:27)  -Figuring out your why as you begin your healing journey (1:33:10)    Also mentioned in this episode: -The Autoimmune Intervention Mastery Course - https://terrywahls.com/aim/   -Radical Health Upgrade Program - https://terrywahls.com/radicalhealthupgrade/   -Conquer Your Autoimmune Condition - Free Five Day Challenge - https://terrywahls.com/5daychallenge/  -Defying All Odds Documentary - https://defyingalloddsmovie.vhx.tv/checkout/defying-all-odds-72-mins/purchase?code=wahlsrecoveryjourneyaug2021   -US Wellness Meats - Organs and Organ Sausages - https://grasslandbeef.com/organs-organ-sausages   -MS Clinical Trials - https://wahls.lab.uiowa.edu/ For more on Dr. Wahls you can follow her on Instagram @drterrywahls, on Facebook @terrywahls, on Twitter @terrywahls, on YouTube @terrywahls, and through her website https://terrywahls.com.

In health and medicine, we must always be willing to look deeper. We can’t give up on looking for healing solutions just because we’ve always been told a disease is progressive and incurable.  That’s one of the many reasons I’m so inspired by today’s guest on The Dhru Purohit Podcast. Dr. Terry Wahls received a diagnosis of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and, instead of accepting a rapid decline in her function and quality of life, dove headfirst into looking for answers with long-lasting results. Dr. Wahls didn’t buy into the limits defined by her diagnosis and has completely changed the future of MS research and treatment options in the process.   Dr. Terry Wahls is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa where she conducts clinical trials. In 2018, she was awarded the Institute for Functional Medicine’s Linus Pauling Award for her contributions in research, clinical care, and patient advocacy.  Dr. Wahls was confined to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years.

]]> 7486 no #236: How Poor Metabolic Health Allows Covid-19 to Hijack Our System with Dr. Ronesh Sinha https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/236-with-dr-ronesh-sinha How Poor Metabolic Health Allows Covid-19 to Hijack Our System | This episode is brought to you by HigherDOSE and BiOptimzers. When we think about Covid-19 and our health and well-being, there are many factors to consider. It’s not just about the general idea of immunity; we need to understand that multiple processes within the body can either make us more resilient against or more susceptible to this specific virus. Metabolic health is a big part of this.  When we look at who is most vulnerable to Covid-19, we see that among the immuno-compromised and elderly there is also a population with major metabolic risk factors. That means insulin resistance, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, obesity, hypertension, and more.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Ronesh Sinha about the key areas we can focus on to optimize our metabolic health and how they specifically relate to decreasing our risk of severe outcomes from Covid-19. Dr. Sinha, author of The South Asian Health Solution, is an internal medicine physician who runs a lifestyle clinic in Silicon Valley focused on reversing insulin resistance in ethnically diverse patients. He is also an expert in corporate wellness and serves as the Chief Medical Officer for Silicon Valley Employer Forum where he serves as a global adviser to shape health benefits for over 55 major Silicon Valley companies.   His groundbreaking work in corporate wellness and raising awareness about insulin resistance in the Asian population has received global attention with front cover stories in Fortune Magazine and the LA Times. Dr. Sinha blogs actively on health at culturalhealthsolutions.com and recently launched the Meta Health podcast where he uses creative storytelling to teach listeners about health and metabolism.   In this episode, we dive into:  -How metabolic health relates to Covid-19 (9:21)  -What is metabolic health (13:24) -How Covid-19 can hijack metabolic health (15:41) -How poor metabolic health and insulin resistance can make someone more likely to get Covid-19 (19:57) -Vaccination and severe Covid-19 risk (22:21) -Children, metabolic health, and Covid-19 (31:12) -The ABCDS to better metabolic health (42:28) -Lab tests for metabolic health (1:02:05)   Also mentioned in this episode: -Free Covid-19 Survival Guide - https://www.culturalhealthsolutions.com/covid-19-resources/ -A Grim Warning from Israel: Vaccination Blunts, but Does Not Defeat Delta https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/grim-warning-israel-vaccination-blunts-does-not-defeat-delta -Underlying Medical Conditions and Severe Illness Among Adults Hospitalized with Covid Study - https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2021/21_0123.htm -Deaths in Children and Adolescents Associated With Covid-19 and MIS-C in the United States - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34385349/   -NPR article about citizen scientist - https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/08/06/1025553638/how-a-gay-community-helped-the-cdc-spot-a-covid-outbreak-and-learn-more-about-de   For more on Dr. Ronesh you can follow him on Instagram @roneshsinhamd, on Facebook @southasiansolution, on Twitter @roneshsinha, on YouTube @roneshsinha, and through his website https://www.culturalhealthsolutions.com/.

In fact, sauna use can reduce inflammation, stress, and improve detoxification and energy production down to the cellular level. But sometimes we can’t break the bank to make this happen. So when I was introduced to the portable HigherDose Infrared Sauna blanket and Infrared PEMF mat, I got super excited because it’s actually an affordable way to get all of the benefits of sauna use including increased blood flow, better sleep, a calmer nervous system, and way more. Right now, you can save $75 off a HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket or Infrared PEMF Mat.

I personally started taking magnesium to help with my sleep, especially when I travel, and it’s been super helpful. But I don’t take just any old magnesium, I take BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough. It contains 7 different forms of magnesium, which all have different functions in the body.

That means insulin resistance, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, obesity, hypertension, and more.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Ronesh Sinha about the key areas we can focus on to optimize our metabolic health and how they specifically relate to decreasing our risk of severe outcomes from Covid-19. Dr. Sinha, author of The South Asian Health Solution, is an internal medicine physician who runs a lifestyle clinic in Silicon Valley focused on reversing insulin resistance in ethnically diverse patients. He is also an expert in corporate wellness and serves as the Chief Medical Officer for Silicon Valley Employer Forum where he serves as a global adviser to shape health benefits for over 55 major Silicon Valley companies.   His groundbreaking work in corporate wellness and raising awareness about insulin resistance in the Asian population has received global attention with front cover stories in Fortune Magazine and the LA Times. Dr. Sinha blogs actively on health at culturalhealthsolutions.com and recently launched the Meta Health podcast where he uses creative storytelling to teach listeners about health and metabolism.   In this episode, we dive into:  -How metabolic health relates to Covid-19 (9:21)  -What is metabolic health (13:24) -How Covid-19 can hijack metabolic health (15:41) -How poor metabolic health and insulin resistance can make someone more likely to get Covid-19 (19:57) -Vaccination and severe Covid-19 risk (22:21) -Children, metabolic health, and Covid-19 (31:12) -The ABCDS to better metabolic health (42:28) -Lab tests for metabolic health (1:02:05)   Also mentioned in this episode: -Free Covid-19 Survival Guide - https://www.culturalhealthsolutions.com/covid-19-resources/ -A Grim Warning from Israel: Vaccination Blunts, but Does Not Defeat Delta https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/grim-warning-israel-vaccination-blunts-does-not-defeat-delta -Underlying Medical Conditions and Severe Illness Among Adults Hospitalized with Covid Study - https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2021/21_0123.htm -Deaths in Children and Adolescents Associated With Covid-19 and MIS-C in the United States - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34385349/   -NPR article about citizen scientist - https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/08/06/1025553638/how-a-gay-community-helped-the-cdc-spot-a-covid-outbreak-and-learn-more-about-de   For more on Dr. Ronesh you can follow him on Instagram @roneshsinhamd, on Facebook @southasiansolution, on Twitter @roneshsinha, on YouTube @roneshsinha, and through his website https://www.culturalhealthsolutions.com/.

Technology has done amazing things for us. It keeps us connected and can provide invaluable information about our health, but it could also be hurting our health without our even realizing it.  Electromagnetic frequencies, or EMFs, are actually all around us in the natural world, like the build up of electricity during a thunderstorm or the Earth’s magnetic field that animals use for migration. The problem is that man-made electrical devices like cell phones, Wi-Fi, computers, and microwaves, emit EMFs and have dramatically increased our exposure.  EMFs have been classified as a Group 2B possible human carcinogen by the World Health Organization and research continues to reveal their negative impact on human health, due to interference with our internal cell membrane function, resulting in free radical production, DNA damage, and lower antioxidant levels.   On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Devra Davis an internationally acclaimed award-winning scientist and author of more than 220 scientific publications and 3 popular books, including When Smoke Ran Like Water, The Secret History of the War on Cancer, and Disconnect: The Truth About Cell Phone Radiation.    Dr. Davis was formerly a professor at the University of Pittsburgh and was the founding director of the world’s first Center for Environmental Oncology. She is currently the President and founder of the Environmental Health Trust, a non-profit scientific organization focusing on drawing attention to man-made health threats. Ehtrust.org is considered a major resource for those wanting to learn more about environmental toxins and about the current push to depend on 5G and 5G towers.    In this episode, we dive into:  -The connection between EMFs, cell phone radiation, and cancer (8:06)  -EMFs impact on fertility (18:59)  -How EMF exposure to kids is different from adults (29:03) -How electronic devices are tested for safety (34:28) -Speech delay acquisition and technology (37:37) -How the EPA, FDA, and FCC are being hijacked by the telecom industry (44:40) -What motivated Dr. Davis to get involved in this work (56:23) -How cellphones can cause brain damage to children (58:40) -What you can do to mitigate the damaging effects of EMFs (1:01:02) -The dangers of Bluetooth headsets (1:13:17)  -Electromagnetic illness (1:19:02) -California and 5G infrastructure (1:24:37)   Also mentioned in this episode: -Effects of Cell Phone Radiofrequency Signal Exposure on Brain Glucose Metabolism - https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/64581   -Evidence of Health Risks Linked to Electromagnetic Field Exposure - https://divisionofresearch.kaiserpermanente.org/pressrelease?Id=4467   -Safe and Sound PRO RF Meter - ​​https://amzn.to/3Devtq5   -Rat Park: How a Rat Paradise Changed the Narrative of Addiction - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/add.14481   -Americans for Responsible Technology - https://www.americansforresponsibletech.org/tool-kit   -Patreon Group - https://www.patreon.com/ehtrust    For more on Dr. Davis you can follow her on Instagram @ehtrust, on Facebook @ehtrust, on Twitter @saferphones, and through her website https://ehtrust.org/.

]]> 5673 no #234: How Leaky Gut is Making Us Sick and Driving Chronic Inflammation with Dr. Emeran Mayer https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/234-how-leaky-gut-is-making-us-sick How Leaky Gut is Making Us Sick and Driving Chronic Inflammation | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and ButcherBox. Over the last seventy-five years, an array of serious, seemingly unrelated chronic illnesses—cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and brain disorders—have all been steadily rising, some at astonishing rates. While we’re living dramatically longer lives, many of us are suffering throughout them, creating a public health crisis of historic scale. A key principle of Functional Medicine is looking at the gut and how it impacts the entire body. All of the diseases mentioned above have a component of gut dysfunction, especially intestinal permeability, which is also known as leaky gut syndrome. When the digestive tract is inflamed and food particles are able to make their way into the bloodstream, the body goes into fight mode. This goes far beyond a stomach ache, as symptoms can occur throughout the whole body.   On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Emeran Mayer, the author of The Gut-Immune Connection and The Mind-Gut Connection.

Over the last seventy-five years, an array of serious, seemingly unrelated chronic illnesses—cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and brain disorders—have all been steadily rising, some at astonishing rates. While we’re living dramatically longer lives, many of us are suffering throughout them, creating a public health crisis of historic scale. A key principle of Functional Medicine is looking at the gut and how it impacts the entire body. All of the diseases mentioned above have a component of gut dysfunction, especially intestinal permeability, which is also known as leaky gut syndrome. When the digestive tract is inflamed and food particles are able to make their way into the bloodstream, the body goes into fight mode. This goes far beyond a stomach ache, as symptoms can occur throughout the whole body.   On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Emeran Mayer, the author of The Gut-Immune Connection and The Mind-Gut Connection. He has studied brain-body interactions for the last forty years and is the executive director of the G.

Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most significant global health threats we face today. It is an ailment that, as our population ages, is forecasted to become a worldwide epidemic. Mainstream medicine would have us believe that it can’t be prevented, is untreatable, and progressive, with most patients not surviving beyond three to eleven years post-diagnosis. But that is all being challenged with the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen.    On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Dale Bredesen, an internationally recognized expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, and the author of the New York Times bestsellers The End of Alzheimer's, The End of Alzheimer's Program and his latest book, The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words. He has held faculty positions at UC San Francisco, UCLA, and the University of California San Diego. He has directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before coming to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in 1998 as its founding president and CEO. He is currently a professor at UCLA.   In this episode, we dive into:  -Evidence that early Alzheimer’s can be reversed (7:30)  -What actually drives neurodegeneration (11:57)  -Julie’s story of surviving Alzheimer’s (16:34) -Insults in the brain that contribute to Alzheimer’s (20:37)  -Debra’s story of surviving Alzheimer’s (33:15)  -Why one single medication is not the answer when it comes to treating Alzheimer’s (48:55)  -Frank’s story of surviving Alzheimer’s (50:39)  -The contributing factors to Alzheimer’s (56:02)  -Sally’s story of surviving Alzheimer’s (57:48)  -Proof of concept study—key markers that showed cognitive improvements (1:21:09)  -Red flags to pay attention to when it comes to cognitive decline (1:29:09)  -Cognoscopy test for cognitive decline (1:36:12)  -What Dr. Bredesen says to the skeptics (1:39:03)    Also mentioned in this episode: -Cognoscopy - https://www.apollohealthco.com/cognoscopy/ -Clinical Trail Results - Evidence That Early Alzheimer’s Can Be Reversed - https://www.apollohealthco.com/clinical-trial-results-2021/ -Precision Medicine Approach to Alzheimer’s Disease: Successful Proof-of-Concept Trial - https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.10.21256982v1 For more on Dr. Bredesen you can follow him on Instagram @drdalebredesen, on Facebook @drdalebredeshttps://amzn.to/3imGi0Men, on Twitter @drdalebredesen, and through his website https://www.apollohealthco.com.

Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most significant global health threats we face today. It is an ailment that, as our population ages, is forecasted to become a worldwide epidemic. Mainstream medicine would have us believe that it can’t be prevented, is untreatable, and progressive, with most patients not surviving beyond three to eleven years post-diagnosis. But that is all being challenged with the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen.    On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Dale Bredesen, an internationally recognized expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, and the author of the New York Times bestsellers The End of Alzheimer's, The End of Alzheimer's Program and his latest book, The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words. He has held faculty positions at UC San Francisco, UCLA, and the University of California San Diego. He has directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before coming to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in 1998 as its founding president and CEO. He is currently a professor at UCLA.   In this episode, we dive into:  -Evidence that early Alzheimer’s can be reversed (7:30)  -What actually drives neurodegeneration (11:57)  -Julie’s story of surviving Alzheimer’s (16:34) -Insults in the brain that contribute to Alzheimer’s (20:37)  -Debra’s story of surviving Alzheimer’s (33:15)  -Why one single medication is not the answer when it comes to treating Alzheimer’s (48:55)  -Frank’s story of surviving Alzheimer’s (50:39)  -The contributing factors to Alzheimer’s (56:02)  -Sally’s story of surviving Alzheimer’s (57:48)  -Proof of concept study—key markers that showed cognitive improvements (1:21:09)  -Red flags to pay attention to when it comes to cognitive decline (1:29:09)  -Cognoscopy test for cognitive decline (1:36:12)  -What Dr. Bredesen says to the skeptics (1:39:03)    Also mentioned in this episode: -Cognoscopy - https://www.apollohealthco.com/cognoscopy/ -Clinical Trail Results - Evidence That Early Alzheimer’s Can Be Reversed - https://www.apollohealthco.com/clinical-trial-results-2021/ -Precision Medicine Approach to Alzheimer’s Disease: Successful Proof-of-Concept Trial - https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.10.21256982v1 For more on Dr. Bredesen you can follow him on Instagram @drdalebredesen, on Facebook @drdalebredeshttps://amzn.to/3imGi0Men, on Twitter @drdalebredesen, and through his website https://www.apollohealthco.com.

]]> 6549 no Energy: The Missing Link to Heal Your Body and Mind with Dr. John Amaral (Rebroadcast) https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/energy-the-missing-link-to-heal-your-body-and-mind-with-dr-j We live in a hyper-connected world, but more people are more disconnected than ever before. Why? It’s easier than ever to get out of sync with the natural rhythms of our energy and spend the majority of life in a fight-or-flight state. It’s partly because of technology and screen time and because of a lack of integrated movement throughout the day. It’s largely because people just don’t know how to connect and find flow—that optimal state of being where we are one with our body and the universe and where we feel and perform at our very best.   On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. John Amaral, a chiropractor, author and educator who has worked behind-the-scenes helping A-List celebrities, entrepreneurs, athletes, influencers and thought-leaders elevate their energy so that they feel and perform their best. Dr. Amaral helps his clients self-heal physical injuries, reduce stress, anxiety and depression, and stay in the energetic flow amidst the challenges of everything from running enterprises to pushing the envelope of human performance. He is also the founder of Body Centered Leadership, a program that combines cutting-edge neuroscience, quantum physics principles and ancient wisdom practices to help participants create and sustain new levels of energy, clarity, and fulfillment. Dr. Amaral is featured in the recent GOOP Lab Netflix series with Gwyneth Paltrow.   In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Amaral talk about how disconnection from our inner world is caused by internalization, and how many of us don’t communicate our true feelings with the people we interact with in our day-to-day lives, often for fear of what they might think of us. They discuss how physical pain can be related to emotional stagnation, and how we can release stored stress, pain, and trauma from our body. They also talk about how to make a true connection with ourselves through the natural rhythms of our body and energy.    In this episode, we dive into:  -What is our energy field and what makes it thrive or not  -How disconnection from our inner world can create stress, pain, and trauma in our body  -How we release tension and energy from our body  -How to change our conditioned patterns  -What the pain we experience in our body really means  -How unexpressed emotion can lead to dis-ease in the body  -What the messages your get from your body mean and what happens when you ignore them    Also mentioned in this episode: -7-day Fight-or-Flight to Flow Challenge - https://johnamaral.com/7-day-challenge/. -Netflix Series: Goop Lab Episode 5: The Energy Experience - https://goop.com/energy-healing/ For more on Dr. John Amaral you can follow him on Instagram @drjohnamaral, on Facebook @drjohnamaral, on Twitter @johnamaral, on YouTube @johnamaral, and through his website https://johnamaral.com/.  Sign up for Dhru’s Try This Newsletter - https://dhrupurohit.com/newsletter.

]]> 6418 no #232: Top Healthy Foods That Prevent & Treat Autoimmune Disease with Dr. Elroy Vojdani https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/232-top-healthy-foods-that-prevent-treat-autoimmune-disease- Top Healthy Foods That Prevent & Treat Autoimmune Disease | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers. Autoimmune diseases are a huge issue, affecting over 80 million Americans. They include type 1 diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, colitis, Crohn’s disease, and dozens of others, but they all have one thing in common—the body attacks itself. Conventional medicine uses pharmaceutical drugs to treat autoimmune disease but fails to answer one simple question: Why is the body out of balance to begin with, and how do we help it regain the proper balance? Functional Medicine, on the other hand, applies a personalized approach to treating autoimmune disease providing a map to find the root cause underlying autoimmune disease.   On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Elroy Vojdani, the founder of Regenera Medical, a boutique Functional Medicine practice in Los Angeles, California. Upon graduating medical school from the University of Southern California and completing his residency at USC Keck School of Medicine, Dr. V began his career as an Interventional Radiologist, diagnosing and treating complex, late-stage cancers and other extremely debilitating diseases. While this experience gave him unique insights into hospital-based medicine, his desire to stop disease before it reached the point of becoming a chronic illness remained at the core of his desire to practice medicine. Today, he continues in his father’s footsteps–pioneering to find answers to medical conditions that go undiagnosed and untreated.   Dr. Vojdani has co-authored over 20 articles in the scientific literature and continues an integral role in research related to autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and autoinflammatory conditions. He is also the co-author of a medical textbook entitled Food Associated Autoimmunity.   In this episode, we dive into:  -Why there is an explosion of autoimmune diseases (7:41)  -The connection between food and autoimmune diseases (15:06)  -What is leaky gut (18:43)  -Foods that damage the gut lining (23:35)  -Modern wheat vs. native wheat (27:35) -The three stages of autoimmunity (50:57) -Immunotyping and why it’s the next step in personalized medicine (55:10)  -How to prevent and treat autoimmune conditions (1:11:06)  -How lectins can be connected to certain autoimmune conditions (1:17:25) -Foods that can be healing for autoimmune conditions (1:23:51)  -How chronic viral infections can be a gateway for autoimmune conditions (1:33:27)    Also mentioned in this episode -The Impact of Functional Medicine on Patient-Reported Outcomes in Inflammatory Arthritis - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33031458/   -Cyrex Labs - Lymphocyte MAP Comprehensive Immunotyping of Lymphocytes - https://www.cyrexlabs.com/CyrexTestsArrays   -Vojdani University - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT7uP1RpyHJ6R1BY4V7Km5Q/videos For more on Dr. Elroy Vojdani you can follow him on Instagram @regeneramedical, on Facebook @regeneramedical, on Twitter @regeneramedical, and through his website https://www.regeneramedical.com/.

Autoimmune diseases are a huge issue, affecting over 80 million Americans. They include type 1 diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, colitis, Crohn’s disease, and dozens of others, but they all have one thing in common—the body attacks itself. Conventional medicine uses pharmaceutical drugs to treat autoimmune disease but fails to answer one simple question: Why is the body out of balance to begin with, and how do we help it regain the proper balance? Functional Medicine, on the other hand, applies a personalized approach to treating autoimmune disease providing a map to find the root cause underlying autoimmune disease.   On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Elroy Vojdani, the founder of Regenera Medical, a boutique Functional Medicine practice in Los Angeles, California. Upon graduating medical school from the University of Southern California and completing his residency at USC Keck School of Medicine, Dr. V began his career as an Interventional Radiologist, diagnosing and treating complex, late-stage cancers and other extremely debilitating diseases. While this experience gave him unique insights into hospital-based medicine, his desire to stop disease before it reached the point of becoming a chronic illness remained at the core of his desire to practice medicine. Today, he continues in his father’s footsteps–pioneering to find answers to medical conditions that go undiagnosed and untreated.   Dr. Vojdani has co-authored over 20 articles in the scientific literature and continues an integral role in research related to autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and autoinflammatory conditions.

]]> 6884 no The Science of Movement: How to Use Exercise to Defeat Depression, Anxiety, and Loneliness with Dr. Kelly McGonigal (Rebroadcast) https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/the-science-of-movement-how-to-use-exercise-to-defeat-depres The most common explanation for why exercise makes us happy is far too simplistic. The psychological effects of movement cannot be reduced to an endorphin rush. Physical activity influences many other brain chemicals, including those that give you energy, alleviate worry, and help you bond with others. It reduces inflammation in the brain, which over time can protect against depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Regular exercise also remodels the physical structure of your brain to make you more receptive to joy and social connection. These neurological changes rival those observed in the most cutting-edge treatments for both depression and addiction.    On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Kelly McGonigal, a health psychologist who specializes in understanding the mind-body connection. She is the bestselling author of The Willpower Instinct and The Upside of Stress. Her latest book, The Joy of Movement, explores why physical exercise is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness.   In this episode, Dhru and Kelly talk about how exercise can improve the treatment outcomes for depression, anxiety, and addiction. They discuss the science of why people who are regularly active have a stronger sense of purpose, experience more gratitude, love and hope, feel more connected to their communities, and are less likely to suffer from loneliness or become depressed. They also talk about how during physical activity, muscles secrete hormones into our bloodstream that make our brain more resilient to stress, which scientists call “hope molecules.”    In this episode, we dive into:  -The moment that changed Kelly’s life  -The connection between joy and movement  -How exercise can help with mental health  -How to get past the mental barriers when it comes to movement and exercise  -The role movement plays when it comes to loneliness  -Why the so-called “Runner’s High” is more than just an endorphin rush, and how it helps to reduce inflammation in the brain  -How exercise teaches us to be better at stress  -Why you should set a goal that involves movement, not just weight loss  -How exercise enhances healing    For more on Dr. Kelly McGonigal, you can follow her on Instagram @kellymariemcgonigal, on Facebook @kellymcgonigalauthor, and through her website http://kellymcgonigal.com/.

]]> 5470 no #231: Avoid These Risk Factors to Prevent Brain Inflammation with Dr. Datis Kharrazian https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/231-avoid-these-risk-factors-to-prevent-brain-inflammation-w Avoid These Risk Factors to Prevent Brain Inflammation | This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Paleovalley. For a long time, brain fatigue and a lack of cognitive endurance were just considered a normal part of aging. These issues are actually symptoms of a much larger problem, though—neuroinflammation—and they aren’t inevitable.    Our brains naturally create cellular debris as we age. A healthy brain with the right anti-inflammatory and antioxidant systems in place can clean up this debris using a process called autophagy. But when those systems become compromised through a variety of insults, like insulin resistance, toxicity, and lack of sleep, the debris piles up and neurodegeneration and inflammation result. Taking the right steps now can prevent and even reverse an inflamed brain.    On today’s episode, Dhru talks to Dr. Datis Kharrazian about the principles of health that protect and optimize our brain function.    Dr. Kharrazian is a clinical research scientist, academic professor, and a Functional Medicine health care provider. He is an Associate Clinical Professor at Loma Linda University School of Medicine, a Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School, and a researcher at the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital.     Dr. Kharrazian earned a PhD degree in Health Science with concentrations in immunology and toxicology and a Doctor of Health Science degree from Nova Southeastern University.

COVID-19 has challenged us like never before. The past year has been full of uncertainties and we continue to face decisions around vaccines, a changing social landscape, and how to protect our families and maintain our quality of life.  The best we can do is stay informed on the constantly evolving research and take into account our family’s unique needs. Parents of young children have the added responsibility of making decisions for them, with limited data. No one can tell you what the right choice is when it comes to getting your child vaccinated. Dhru and Dr. Song have a grounded conversation about what we know and what we still need to find out. They hash out what can be a pretty overwhelming topic into digestible information to help you feel empowered. Dr. Song is an integrative pediatrician, pediatric Functional Medicine expert, and mama. In her integrative pediatric practice, Whole Family Wellness, she’s helped 1,000s of kids get to the root causes of their health concerns and helped their parents understand how to help their children thrive in body, mind, and spirit by integrating conventional pediatrics with Functional Medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and essential oils.  Dr. Song created Healthy Kids Happy Kids, an online holistic pediatric resource to help practitioners and parents bridge the gap between conventional and integrative pediatrics with an evidence-based, pediatrician-backed approach. In this episode, we dive into: -Dr. Song and her family’s experience of being infected with COVID (9:57)  -Confirmation bias and COVID recommendations (12:49)  -Pregnant women and COVID-19 vaccine safety (16:31)  -What the FDA Emergency Use Authorization for the vaccines means (20:08)  -Helping our kids build immune resilience (36:54) -What role children really play in herd immunity (45:33)  -Is COVID-19 vaccination in previously infected individuals necessary?

Chronic diseases are the top risk factors for death and disability today. They’re also among the top risk factors for having worse outcomes from COVID-19. This implies that much of our risk for worse outcomes from this virus is a reflection of the choices we’ve made in the years and months leading up to the pandemic. In many ways, the stage was set for this pandemic long ago, because it’s not just about the virus—it’s also about the host, and we were already compromised from an immune perspective before COVID-19 existed. This means that we have an opportunity to start making the necessary changes to our physiology, so that we’re better prepared for the next pandemic. On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Austin Perlmutter, a board-certified internal medicine physician and New York Times bestselling author. He received his medical degree from the University of Miami and completed his internal medicine residency at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland Oregon. His focus is on helping identify and resolve the biological basis for "stuckness" in the body and brain, especially around decision-making.  He hosts the Get The STUCK OUT podcast and is a co-producer of the Alzheimer's - The Science of Prevention Docu-series. His writing is featured online on MedPage Today, Doximity, KevinMD, Medium, Psychology Today, MindBodyGreen, and DrPerlmutter.com. He is the author of a recent review paper on the interfaces between immune function, depression, and COVID-19. In this episode, we dive into: -How our epidemic of chronic diseases have predisposed us to worse outcomes from COVID-19 (4:34) -The importance of moving away from reactivity to solve our problems (12:03) -The intersection of COVID-19 and depression (16:02)  -What’s underlying depression (20:27)  -Dr. Perlmutter’s personal experience with anxiety and depression (25:52) -The connection between immune health and mental health (36:18)  -How to support and enhance our immune system (45:50)  -The importance of cutting out unnecessary stress (50:16) -The power of psilocybin and other psychedelic medicines for getting your brain unstuck (1:06:49) For more on Dr. Austin Perlmutter you can follow him on Instagram @austinperlmutter, on Facebook @austinperlmuttermd, on Twitter @austinperlmd, on YouTube @austinperlmuttermd, and through his website https://www.austinperlmutter.com/.

Chronic diseases are the top risk factors for death and disability today. They’re also among the top risk factors for having worse outcomes from COVID-19. This implies that much of our risk for worse outcomes from this virus is a reflection of the choices we’ve made in the years and months leading up to the pandemic. In many ways, the stage was set for this pandemic long ago, because it’s not just about the virus—it’s also about the host, and we were already compromised from an immune perspective before COVID-19 existed. This means that we have an opportunity to start making the necessary changes to our physiology, so that we’re better prepared for the next pandemic. On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Austin Perlmutter, a board-certified internal medicine physician and New York Times bestselling author. He received his medical degree from the University of Miami and completed his internal medicine residency at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland Oregon. His focus is on helping identify and resolve the biological basis for "stuckness" in the body and brain, especially around decision-making.  He hosts the Get The STUCK OUT podcast and is a co-producer of the Alzheimer's - The Science of Prevention Docu-series. His writing is featured online on MedPage Today, Doximity, KevinMD, Medium, Psychology Today, MindBodyGreen, and DrPerlmutter.com. He is the author of a recent review paper on the interfaces between immune function, depression, and COVID-19. In this episode, we dive into: -How our epidemic of chronic diseases have predisposed us to worse outcomes from COVID-19 (4:34) -The importance of moving away from reactivity to solve our problems (12:03) -The intersection of COVID-19 and depression (16:02)  -What’s underlying depression (20:27)  -Dr. Perlmutter’s personal experience with anxiety and depression (25:52) -The connection between immune health and mental health (36:18)  -How to support and enhance our immune system (45:50)  -The importance of cutting out unnecessary stress (50:16) -The power of psilocybin and other psychedelic medicines for getting your brain unstuck (1:06:49) For more on Dr. Austin Perlmutter you can follow him on Instagram @austinperlmutter, on Facebook @austinperlmuttermd, on Twitter @austinperlmd, on YouTube @austinperlmuttermd, and through his website https://www.austinperlmutter.com/.

Interested in Levels Continuous Glucose Monitor? Join here: http://levels.link/dhru Obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and Alzheimer’s disease all have one big thing in common—they all involve a component of blood sugar dysregulation. So many other diseases do, too. Considering the rampant use of sugar and flour in our food supply, managing blood sugar is something we should all be thinking about if we want to protect or improve our health.  Thanks to technological advances like continuous glucose monitoring, we can now understand how we respond to carbohydrates like never before. For one person, a sweet potato might be easy to handle metabolically. For another, it could mean a giant rise and fall of blood sugar with a corresponding insulin spike. Some of the foods you might assume are healthy may even be the worst offenders.  Today, Dhru takes a deep dive into blood sugar regulation and precision nutrition with Dr. Casey Means. Dr. Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention, and a Lecturer at Stanford University.  Her mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tools that can facilitate deep understanding of our bodies and inform personalized and sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices. Dr. Means’ perspective has been recently featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Men's Health, Forbes, Business Insider, Techcrunch, Entrepreneur Magazine, Metabolism, Endocrine Today, and more. In this episode, we dive into: -Five surprising foods that spike your blood sugar (6:15) -What is insulin resistance (24:27)  -How to achieve metabolic flexibility (34:20)  -The impact of fructose on the body (46:59) -Food pairing for optimal metabolic health (51:49)  -The best fat to eat (54:18)  -How food sequencing impacts glucose and insulin levels (1:00:51)  -The connection between high blood sugar and rates of COVID infection (1:20:16)  -Foods that might not spike your glucose but should still be avoided (1:35:26)  -How time restricted eating impacts on blood sugar (1:39:24)  -Optimal glucose ranges (1:43:10)  -What your glucose number should be after you eat a meal (1:45:26)  -What Dr. Means’ diet looks like and how to achieve a level 10 score when it comes to your meals (1:58:21)  For more on Dr. Casey Means you can follow her on Instagram @drcaseyskitchen and @levels, on Twitter @drcaseyskitchen and @levels, and through her website https://www.levelshealth.com/.

A declining mind is one of the scariest things I can imagine. Left unchecked, I’ve seen the devastating effects this process can have on individuals and their families. But we now know there is so much that can be done to prevent and even reverse Alzheimer’s and dementia and save people from a foggy future.    I know some of you may have had to reread that—yes, Alzheimer’s reversal is real. The latest research is showing some amazing results that give us a new perspective of hope, even (or especially) if you’re genetically predisposed.    Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. David Perlmutter about the latest findings in the field of Alzheimer’s and dementia.    Dr. Perlmutter is a Board-Certified Neurologist and five-time New York Times bestselling author.

He serves as a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and has published extensively in peer-reviewed scientific journals including Archives of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and The Journal of Applied Nutrition.   Dr. Perlmutter’s books have been published in 32 languages and include the #1 New York Times bestseller Grain Brain, The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs and Sugar, with over 1 million copies in print. Other New York Times bestsellers include Brain Maker, The Grain Brain Cookbook, The Grain Brain Whole Life Plan, and Brain Wash, co-written with Dr. Austin Perlmutter. His latest book, Drop Acid, focuses on the pivotal role of uric acid in metabolic diseases, and will be published in February, 2022. In this episode, we dive into: -Dr. Dale Bredesen’s study showing that Alzheimer’s disease is reversible (9:13) -What contributes to Alzheimer’s disease (11:31) -Blood sugar dysregulation and fructose (18:43) -How our gut bacteria is responsible for regulating our metabolism (22:04) -What threatens our gut bacteria (41:17) -The importance of diversity in our gut (46:30) -Dr. Perlmutter’s diet (51:38) -How elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions (56:45) -How to test for uric acid levels (1:08:59)  -Foods that are high in uric acid (1:11:38) For more on Dr. David Perlmutter, you can follow him on Instagram @DrDavidPerlmutter, on Facebook @DavidPerlmutterMD, on Twitter @DavidPerlmutter, on Youtube @DavidPerlmutterMD, and through his website https://www.drperlmutter.com/.

]]> 5374 no #224: Reprogram Your Brain to Destroy Laziness and Improve Focus with Dr. Andrew Huberman https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/224-reprogram-your-brain-to-destroy-laziness-and-improve-foc Reprogram Your Brain to Destroy Laziness and Improve Focus | This episode is brought to you by BLUblox. At one point or another, we’ve all felt stuck in a rut with feelings of laziness and fear. During these times it can be really hard to take a step back and wonder what’s happening in the body, as opposed to just the mind, but it’s the link between the two that can push us through it.   Neurotransmitters have some incredible power over how we function. Dopamine is responsible for craving, motivation, and pursuit. Adrenaline relates to agitation and endurance. Serotonin helps us be grateful and feel good about what we have. And acetylcholine can help us focus. This is just a snapshot of the chemical symphony happening in our bodies all the time, and we can actually leverage these inner reactions to better understand the way we react to the world around us and make positive changes.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Andrew Huberman about opening the window into our neurochemistry, training the nervous system, and confronting our inner real estate.  Dr. Andrew Huberman is a neuroscientist and tenured Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He has made numerous important contributions to the fields of brain development, brain function, and neural plasticity, which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new behaviors, skills, and cognitive functioning.    Dr. Huberman is a McKnight Foundation and Pew Foundation Fellow and was awarded the Cogan Award in 2017, which is given to the scientist making the largest discoveries in the study of vision. His lab’s most recent work focuses on the influence of vision and respiration on human performance and brain states such as fear and courage. Work from the Huberman Laboratory at Stanford University School of Medicine has been published in top journals including Nature, Science, and Cell and has been featured in TIME, BBC, Scientific American, Discover, and other top media outlets. In this episode, we dive into:    -The connection between fear, laziness, and motivation (4:56)  -The difference between dopamine, adrenaline, and serotonin (17:50)  -How to increase dopamine (19:12)  -How to get your mind to stop racing (31:14)  -An exercise to try if you are having a hard time falling asleep (35:47)  -The benefits of hypnosis (38:57)  -What to do if you are having trouble focusing (52:47)  -Why structure is one of the best ways to create freedom (1:01:32)  -How our phones are eroding our creativity, relationships, and more (1:05:52)  -The importance of having times of no focus each day (1:16:39)  For more on Dr. Andrew Huberman, you can follow him on Instagram @hubermanlab, and through his website http://www.hubermanlab.com/.

]]> 6431 no #223: How Insulin Resistance Destroys Your Brain and Promotes Alzheimer’s and Cognitive Decline with Dr. Ben Bikman https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/223-how-insulin-resistance-destroys-your-brain-and-promotes- How Insulin Resistance Destroys Your Brain and Promotes Alzheimer’s and Cognitive Decline | This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker. Nearly six million individuals live with Alzheimer’s disease in the U.S., and the numbers continue to rise. After 30 years of encountering dead ends while addressing Alzheimer’s disease as a problem of brain plaques, researchers are looking at other contributing factors.    There is a growing body of evidence that indicates a strong correlation between Alzheimer’s disease and a disrupted metabolic state, where the brain can’t get enough energy.   On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Benjamin Bikman, a renowned metabolic research scientist, and a popular speaker on human metabolism and nutrition. Backed by years of research, Dr. Bikman’s mission is to help the world appreciate the prevalence and relevance of insulin resistance. He is the author of, Why We Get Sick, which offers a thought-provoking yet real solution to insulin resistance and how to reverse pre-diabetes, improve brain function, shed fat, and prevent diabetes. Dr. Bikman has a Doctor of Philosophy in Bioenergetics from East Carolina University, a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology, and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Brigham Young University. In this episode, we dive into:    -Why Alzheimer’s disease is increasingly being referred to as insulin resistance of the brain or type 3 diabetes (11:13)  -How the brain runs on different fuel sources (14:07)  -Why insulin prevents the production of ketones (19:42)  -Early signs of potential cognitive decline (30:45)  -Common foods that drive insulin resistance (41:32)  -The role insulin resistance plays in migraine headaches and epilepsy (56:05)  -Where to get your carbohydrates from (1:06:09)  -Foods that fuel your body and brain (1:09:24)  -How seed oils wreak havoc on our health (1:17:28)  -What you can do today to reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s disease (1:28:03)  For more on Dr. Bikman you can follow him on Instagram @BenBikmanPhD, on Facebook @BenjaminBikmanPhD, on Twitter @BenBikmanPhD, and through his websites http://bikmanlab.byu.edu/ and https://www.insuliniq.com/.

]]> 6361 no #222: 7 Ways to Protect Your Brain from Harmful Electromagnetic Radiation (Especially at Night!) https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/222-7-ways-to-protect-your-brain-from-emfs Welcome to The Big Idea of the Week! On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru shares 7 tips for protecting your brain from harmful electromagnetic radiation.  (1) Don’t plug your cell phone into the wall next to your bed when you sleep. Ideally, put it on the opposite side of the room. (2) Don’t leave anything else plugged in next to your head, bed or night stand. This includes an alarm clock, lamp, lights, or any other device that plugs into a wall. Anything plugged into a wall emits some amount of dirty electricity and for a lot of people that’s where the bulk of their EMF exposure comes from. (3) Avoid using your laptop or cell phone while it’s charging. (4) Avoid sleeping with your head or body near a wall that has an electric panel or electric appliance on the other side. (5) If you have kids remember their brains are smaller, remove any devices that are plugged in their rooms next to their beds. Their skulls aren’t as thick as adults, so they are at greater risk. (6) Turn your Wi-Fi off at night and if you can’t, don’t have your Wi-Fi in your room at night when you sleep. This goes for Wi-Fi routers or extenders.  (7) Consider using an earthing mat for your bed.

]]> 4556 no #221: A Functional Medicine Approach to Treating Crohn’s and Colitis with Nishtha Patel https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/221-a-functional-medicine-approach-to-treating-crohns-and-co A Functional Medicine Approach to Treating Crohn’s and Colitis | This episode is brought to you by Birch Living and InsideTracker. We see it all the time in Functional Medicine: when the gut isn’t functioning properly, the whole body suffers. For those struggling with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, the symptoms can be so severe that every day is painful and filled with uncertainty. Luckily, by taking away instigators (like gluten and dairy) and looking at the ingredients needed for healing, patients with IBDs can regain digestive balance and take back their quality of life. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Nishtha Patel about her experience in helping her daughter heal from Crohn’s colitis, which is when Crohn’s disease specifically impacts the colon. Symptoms of this disorder range from diarrhea and rectal bleeding to ulcers, fistulas, abscesses, joint pain, and skin lesions.

Throughout my years of soul-searching, meditating, and contemplating life, I’ve learned one really big lesson: we’re in control of our own experience and reality. Our mindset will dictate what we deem true and real, but as humans, our egos can creep in and blur the lines. We get lost between what we need to be our authentic selves and what society or other people say we need in order to be worthy.  Unfortunately, that lie of unworthiness has seeped into many of our lives and taken away our power. Today’s guest on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dr. Shefali Tsabury, is here to talk about reclaiming consciousness and empowerment, especially as women in a patriarchal world.  Dr. Shefali received her doctorate in clinical psychology from Columbia University. Specializing in the integration of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy, she brings together the best of both worlds for her clients. She is an expert in family dynamics and personal development, teaching courses around the globe. She has written four books, three of which are New York Times bestsellers, including her two landmark books The Conscious Parent and The Awakened Family. Oprah has endorsed her work as revolutionary and life-changing.  On today’s episode Dr. Shefali and Dhru talk about her new book, A Radical Awakening and specifically explore its central topics around how women can break free of explicit and implicit expectations that society has placed on them. Dr. Shefali shares her experience of awakening from the fog so many women find themselves in when only identifying as wives, mothers, or a slew of other labels that aren’t their true essence.    In this episode, we dive into:  -Dr. Shefali’s radical awakening (5:10)  -Where unworthiness comes from (11:51) -Victim vs. victimhood (18:50) -Empowerment and taking control of your own emotional experiences (21:07) -Understanding consciousness and ego (25:40)  -Why hitting rock bottom is a gift (30:26) -Why we get stuck in the blame game (38:07)  -Breaking free from victimized consciousness and challenging cultural norms (41:47)  -The lies about marriage and divorce (58:10)  -What it looks like to have a benevolent partnership (1:02:30)  For more on Dr. Shefali you can follow her on Instagram @DoctorShefali, on Facebook @DrShefaliTsabary, on Twitter @DrShefali, on YouTube @DrShefali, and through her website https://www.drshefali.com.

If I had to pick one supplement that has made the biggest difference in my overall health, it would be magnesium. I personally started taking magnesium to help with my sleep, especially when I travel, and it’s been a game changer. But I don’t take just any old magnesium, I take BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough. It contains 7 different forms of magnesium, which all have different functions in the body. I haven’t found anything else like it on the market. Right now, BiOptimizers is offering my community a few special bundles, just head over to https://magbreakthrough.com/dhru, with code DHRU10.

Most people don’t realize how many problems throughout the body are directly related to spinal health. Because our nerves transmit signals from the brain to every other part of the body, when these signals are disrupted due to a subluxation in the spine the effects can go far beyond back pain. These subluxations, or misalignments of the vertebrae, can affect everything from your blood pressure to your digestive system and more.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Jeremy Brook, a chiropractor, yogi, and movement specialist. Dr. Brook is the founder of The Life Center Chiropractic—a unique healing center that incorporates the disciplines of chiropractic, spinal corrective protocols, yoga, and other movement art forms to make sure the spine, body, and mind are aligned. He is also the founder of The Yoga of Chiropractic Adjusting Seminars, the newest addition to the chiropractic training movement, and the author of The Spinechecker’s Manifesto: Drug-free Secrets to Pain-Free Living, More Energy, Anti-Aging, and Better Sleep.  In this episode, we dive into:    -What is structural integrity and why is it one of the key pillars of Functional Medicine (6:03)  -How misalignments in the spine can show up in different areas of the body (13:43)  -The brain-spine connection (15:30)  -How chiropractic care helped resolve an injury Dr. Brook sustained while playing rugby in college (17:06)  -The benefits of combining yoga and chiropractic care (25:02)  -The misconception that you should only go to the chiropractor when something is wrong (41:54)  -How to create the optimal sleep environment (1:01:02)  -Dr. Brook’s pillow recommendation (1:03:46)  -Dr. Brook’s shoe recommendation (1:10:06)  -The Wise Progressions Movement Sequence (1:16:23) For more on Dr. Jeremy Brook you can follow him on Instagram @spinechecker, on Facebook @thelifecenterchiropractic, on YouTube @drjeremybrook, and through his website https://thelifecenterchiropractic.com/.

Health is not simply the absence of disease. Health is an active state. Your body has within it five health defense systems: angiogenesis, stem cells, the microbiome, DNA protection, and immunity. These systems are responsible for maintaining our health and resisting the regular hazards we all face everyday as part of ordinary life—and they heal us when disease inflicts damage in our body. By knowing how these systems defend your body like a fortress, you can tap into their health powers to live a longer, healthier life.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. William Li, an internationally renowned physician, scientist, and author of the New York Times bestseller Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself. His groundbreaking work has led to the development of more than 30 new medical treatments, and impacts care for more than 70 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity.  His TED Talk, “Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?” has garnered more than 11 million views. Dr. Li has appeared on Good Morning America, CNN, CNBC and the Dr. Oz Show, and he has been featured in USA Today, Time Magazine, The Atlantic, and O Magazine. He is president and medical director of the Angiogenesis Foundation and is leading research into COVID-19.  In this episode, we dive into:  -How sugar fuels cancer (6:47) -What is angiogenesis and how it impacts our health (17:29) -Foods that starve cancer (22:47) -The 5 key health defense systems of the body (35:18) -How COVID damages our blood vessels and gut microbiome (44:36) -How to supercharge your immune system (48:43) -How kiwifruit impacts our gut microbiome and reduces DNA damage (1:01:02) -The power of polyphenols on our gut microbiome (1:07:23) -Akkermansia and cancer immunotherapy (1:13:14) -Dr. Li’s Masterclass and Eat to Beat Disease Course (1:23:42) For more on Dr. William Li you can follow him on Instagram @DrWilliamLi, on Facebook @DrWilliamLi, on YouTube @DrWilliamLi, and through his website https://drwilliamli.com/.

I started learning about blue light and how it disrupts the body’s natural melatonin production, so I decided to try blue-light blocking glasses throughout the day to see if they helped—and they totally did. I love the blue-light blocking glasses made by BLUblox. BLUblox glasses reduced my digital eye strain and dramatically improved my sleep, and I have more energy throughout the day.

We’re all on our own paths of learning which inner voice to follow. There’s usually the one urging us to take the easy option, but there’s also the (often quieter) inner voice nudging us to stretch ourselves and take on a challenge. Have you ever felt a little scared but also excited about a new endeavor? That inner guide is trying to help you grow.  Like everything in life, it can take some time and practice to be in touch with our intuition and benefit from it. But just like with working out, we have to get a little uncomfortable and put in the energy if we want to get stronger—it’s true for both body and mind.  This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru has a thoughtful conversation with our friend Light Watkins, all about finding that inner guide, sharing inspiration, reframing our perception of good and bad, and giving ourselves permission to let things go.  Light has been operating in the meditation space since 1998, first as a practitioner, then as an apprentice to his Vedic Meditation teacher, and finally as a teacher himself. Prior to the pandemic, he was traveling the world from a single backpack giving talks on happiness, mindfulness, inspiration, and meditation, as well as leading popular meditation trainings and retreats. Light is the author of The Inner Gym: A 30-Day Workout for Strengthening Happiness, Bliss More: How to Succeed in Meditation Without Really Trying, and his most recent book, Knowing Where to Look: 108 Doses of Daily Inspiration. In this episode, we dive into: -Why money, relationships, and the pursuit of success can be three of the best spiritual teachers (12:50) -Perception and how we respond to situations (14:50) -How to tap into your inner guide (24:52) -What inspired Light to shed his life’s possessions and become a nomad (33:24) -The illusion of discipline (36:58) -Dhru’s gratitude exercise (49:40) -Why letting go of something is harder than holding on (1:23:05) -Why it’s so difficult to tap into our intuition (1:43:26) -Lights approach to meditation (1:50:47) -How to start taking action on your purpose (1:56:47) Also mentioned in this episode: -Bliss More: How to Succeed in Meditation Without Really Trying by Light Watkins - https://www.lightwatkins.com/challenge -Meditation Takes You Deeper Than Sleep with Light Watkins - https://drhyman.com/blog/2018/07/26/the-broken-brain-podcast-meditation-takes-you-deeper-than-sleep-with-light-watkins-13/ For more on Light Watkins you can follow him on Instagram @LightWatkins, on Twitter @LightWatkins, and through his website https://www.lightwatkins.com/.

The people around you define your success (whatever that means for you) and they have the potential to change the course of your life. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Jon Levy, a behavioral scientist best known for his work in influence, human connection, and decision making. Jon specializes in applying the latest research to transform the ways companies approach marketing, sales, consumer engagement, and culture. His clients range from Fortune 500 brands to startups.    More than a decade ago, Jon founded The Influencers Dinner, a secret dining experience for industry leaders ranging from Nobel laureates, Olympians, celebrities, and executives, to artists, musicians, and even the occasional princess. Guests cook dinner together but can’t discuss their career or give their last name, and once seated to eat, they play a game to reveal who they are. Over time, these dinners developed into a community. With thousands of members, Influencers is the largest community of its type worldwide.    Dhru and Jon discuss the art and science of creating deep and meaningful connections with anyone. They also talk about how we develop influence, gain trust, and build community so that we can impact our communities and achieve what is most important to us.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Regardless of what we want to accomplish, from growing your business, creating a great company culture, championing a social cause, or affecting your habits, we can’t do it alone. The people around you define your success (whatever that means for you) and they have the potential to change the course of your life.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Jon Levy, a behavioral scientist best known for his work in influence, human connection, and decision making. Jon specializes in applying the latest research to transform the ways companies approach marketing, sales, consumer engagement, and culture. His clients range from Fortune 500 brands to startups. 

 

More than a decade ago, Jon founded The Influencers Dinner, a secret dining experience for industry leaders ranging from Nobel laureates, Olympians, celebrities, and executives, to artists, musicians, and even the occasional princess. Guests cook dinner together but can’t discuss their career or give their last name, and once seated to eat, they play a game to reveal who they are. Over time, these dinners developed into a community. With thousands of members, Influencers is the largest community of its type worldwide. 

 

Dhru and Jon discuss the art and science of creating deep and meaningful connections with anyone. They also talk about how we develop influence, gain trust, and build community so that we can impact our communities and achieve what is most important to us.


In this episode, we dive into: 


-The greatest predictor of longevity (2:05) 

-Why having close friends increases our longevity (9:53) 

-The impact of loneliness on our health (14:15)

-How to create deep and meaningful relationships (21:47) 

-The Influencers Dinner (34:52) 

-The influence equation and how to apply it to our lives (49:39) 

-Post-traumatic growth (1:03:34) 

-Optimal anxiety (1:05:31) 

-How to get an invitation to an Influencers event (1:11:04) 

-The impact of social isolation on our health  (1:12:39)

]]> 4707 yes #213: Hunt, Gather, Parent with Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/213-hunt-gather-parent-with-dr-michaeleen-doucleff Hunt, Gather, Parent | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and Paleovalley. Having children of your own is sure to make you think about the way you were raised and question if you want to do things the same. It’s also sure to raise lots of questions about how your interactions with your child are impacting their development and your relationships. What we see as commonplace parenting here in the US is quite different than other parts of the world. Helicopter parenting takes away from our kids’ independence and autonomy and often leads to conflict. Luckily, there are ways we can be more conscious to help everyone in the family flourish.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff. Michaeleen is a correspondent for NPR’s Science Desk. In 2015, she was part of the team that earned a George Foster Peabody award for its coverage of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Prior to joining NPR, Michaeleen was an editor at the journal Cell, where she wrote about the science behind pop culture. She has a doctorate in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, and a master’s degree in viticulture and enology from the University of California, Davis. Her new book Hunt, Gather, Parent: What Ancient Cultures Can Teach Us About the Lost Art of Raising Happy, Helpful Little Humans shares what she’s learned in her own parenting journey as well as through her research on families across the globe.  In this episode, we dive into: -Michaeleen’s personal struggles with her daughter Rosy (6:30)  -Why the way we parent in the West is strange (14:39) -The importance of autonomy for children (18:20)  -The rising rates of anxiety and depression in kids, and how the way we parent in the West is contributing to that (23:07)  -How Michaeleen’s daughter Rosy puts herself to sleep at night (28:29)  -The greatest gift you can give your child (37:19) -The best way to motivate your kids (41:03)  -Why children don’t really need child-centered activities (51:50)  -Why we shouldn’t constantly praise our kids (59:08)  -The value of a communal approach to raising children (1:04:30)  -Michaeleen’s TEAM approach to parenting (1:07:34)  -How to make this approach work in a busy family life (1:21:15)  For more on Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff you can follow her on Twitter @FoodieScience, and through her website https://michaeleendoucleff.com/.

If I had to pick one supplement that has made the biggest difference in my overall health, it would be magnesium. I personally started taking magnesium to help with my sleep, especially when I travel, and it’s been a game changer. But I don’t take just any old magnesium, I take BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough. It contains 7 different forms of magnesium, which all have different functions in the body. I haven’t found anything else like it on the market. Right now, BiOptimizers is offering my community a few special bundles, just head over to https://magbreakthrough.com/dhru, with code DHRU10.  Not all turmeric supplements are created equal. I love taking Turmeric Complex from Paleovalley. It contains organic whole food turmeric, so you get the synergistic effects of all its compounds. It also contains coconut oil and black pepper which have been shown to improve the absorption of those active compounds by 2,000%, plus it includes other natural anti-inflammatories like organic ginger, rosemary, and cloves.

This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Paleovalley.


I recently tried out some of the bamboo sheets from Cozy Earth and they’re so soft that now I can’t imagine sleeping on anything else. They are also really good at regulating temperature, and are certified free of harmful chemicals. Cozy Earth also makes other types of clean bedding, like duvets and blankets, that all feel amazing. Right now, Cozy Earth is offering my audience 40% off. Just head over to https://cozyearth.com/ and use the discount code DHRU40. 


Not all turmeric supplements are created equal. I love taking Turmeric Complex from Paleovalley. It contains organic whole food turmeric, so you get the synergistic effects of all its compounds. It also contains coconut oil and black pepper which have been shown to improve the absorption of those active compounds by 2,000%, plus it includes other natural anti-inflammatories like organic ginger, rosemary, and cloves. Right now, Paleovalley is offering my listeners 15% off at https://paleovalley.com/dhru.

]]> 1931 no #208: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That’s Lost Its Mind with Jamie Wheal https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/208 If you’re looking for a way to explore the concept of meaning, how it relates to culture, religion, politics, history, sexuality, dissatisfaction, and so much more, this podcast is for you.    We’re currently experiencing a crisis of meaning. People and groups are divided, each convinced their way of thinking and their beliefs are the “right” ones. We have a hard time letting multiple things be true at the same time, when in reality they are but all of our realities are different. We get weighed down by the complexities of information overload and experience grief in the process. Since most of us run from bad feelings or simply don’t know how to address them, we go into denial and look for an escape. We end up with more anxiety, more depression, and poorer relationships.    But this isn’t an unstoppable progression. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Jamie Wheal about why it’s so hard to make sense of the world right now and what we can do to help ourselves expand our understanding. They discuss the five key drivers that give us the tools to wake up, grow up, and show up for ourselves. They also talk about how we move from broken to whole, and how we cure isolation with connection.   Jamie is the author of the global bestseller and Pulitzer Prize-nominated Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, Navy SEALs and Maverick Scientists are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work. Jamie is an expert in peak performance and leadership, specializing in neuroanthropology––the intersection of culture, biology, and psychology—and the founder of the Flow Genome Project, an international organization dedicated to the research and training of ultimate human performance.    In this episode, we dive into:  -Why we are in a crisis of meaning (3:12) -The current culture wars (34:35)  -The apocalypse we find ourselves in (1:03:30)  -The three things that help us deal with life better (1:06:20) -How to be inclusive (1:08:59) -Alchemy and personal transformation (1:36:44) -Why sexuality can be a powerful gateway into higher consciousness (1:37:43) -Orgasms as a treatment for depression (2:00:51)  -How music connects us (2:19:52) -How to get out of our own way and create greater connection (2:54:30) Also mentioned in this episode: -The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk - https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748 -Love Drugs: The Chemical Future of Relationships by Brian Earp and Julian Savulescu - https://www.amazon.com/Love-Drugs-Chemical-Future-Relationships/dp/0804798192 -This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession by Daniel Levitin - https://www.amazon.com/This-Your-Brain-Music-Obsession/dp/0452288525 For more on Jamie Wheal you can follow him on Instagram @flowgenome, on Facebook @jamiewhealpage, on Twitter @flowgenome, and through his website https://www.flowgenomeproject.com/.

]]> 11969 yes #207: The Dangers of Fluoride on the Brain and IQ with Dr. Mark Burhenne https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/207-the-dangers-of-fluoride-on-the-brain-and-iq-with-dr-mark If we want to continue learning how to optimize health, we have to stay open to new information that might contradict previous research, even if it questions the status quo.  Fluoride and dental health are great examples of this process. Fluoride gained support due to an observation one man made many years ago, which has progressed into many cities fluoridating their water and most dentists singing its praises. But over the years the research on fluoride has greatly evolved, to the point that we can now see large differences in how it works topically versus internally, and identify risks that come with consumption.  Today’s guest on The Dhru Purohit Podcast spent much of his time as a new dentist and new parent grappling with whether it was a good idea to give fluoride to his kids. Dr. Mark Burhenne is a functional dentist, and the author of the #1 Amazon bestseller The 8-Hour Sleep Paradox. He has appeared in Dr. Hyman's Sleep Masterclass, the oral microbiome docuseries Gateway to Health, NPR, and many more.  Dhru and Dr. Burhenne talk about the emerging research that supports connections between fluoride and IQ changes, neurotoxicity, arthritis, osteosarcomas, and changes in metabolism, among other concerns. Dr. Burhenne explains how fluoride works in the body, and why using it topically is very different than consuming it.

]]> 3129 no #205: We Got it Wrong When it Comes to Weight Loss with Dr. Rangan Chatterjee https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/205-we-got-it-wrong-when-it-comes-to-weight-loss-with-dr-ran Our culture puts a lot of emphasis on blame when it comes to being overweight. People are villainized for being lazy or unaware of the “right” way. But there is no one right way to lose weight, and when we take steps to improve our overall wellness, weight loss comes as an added bonus.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to our good friend Dr. Rangan Chatterjee about creating a customized weight loss plan and digging into the real reasons we struggle with weight (hint: it’s not a lack of willpower).  Dr. Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most influential medical doctors in the UK and wants to change how medicine will be practiced for years to come. His mission is to help 100 million people around the globe live better lives. He hosts the most listened to health podcast in the UK and Europe, Feel Better, Live More—which regularly tops the Apple Podcast charts and is listened to by over 2 million people every single month. Each of Dr. Chatterjee’s four books have been Sunday Times bestsellers including his latest, Feel Great, Lose Weight, which was just published in the US and Canada. In this episode, we dive into:  -Getting off the blame game when it comes to weight loss (4:32)  -Why what you eat might not be the most important thing when it comes to weight loss (24:14) -Eating behavior and stress response (29:44) -The connection between trauma and obesity (31:24) -Why we continue to eat foods that we know are sabotaging our efforts, despite our best intentions (38:06)  -The Freedom Exercise to overcome cravings (43:26)  -Foods that are hijacking our ability to make good decisions (49:21) -Why weight loss is not about willpower (52:51) -How food is engineered to be addictive (55:51)  -How sleep impacts our eating habits (1:00:33) For more on Dr. Chatterjee you can follow him on Instagram @drchatterjee, on Facebook @drchatterjee, on Twitter @drchatterjeeuk, on YouTube @drranganchatterjee, and through his website https://drchatterjee.com/.

Chances are you’ve asked your doctor for help, only to be told that it’s because of your age, or your workload, or, worse, that it’s just “normal.” If so, you’re not alone.  Women in particular are suffering from an epidemic of fatigue and burnout. So many women feel alone in their inability to manage all of their personal and professional demands. Many assume their fatigue is just a normal and inevitable part of life, but it’s not normal at all.  On today’s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru speaks with Dr. Amy Shah, a double board-certified medical doctor and wellness expert specializing in allergy, immunology, hormones, and gut health.

She's been named in the Top Doc list 2016, '17,'18, '19 and '20 by Phoenix Magazine and featured on National TV and magazines such as Elle, People, Shape, and Allure. She lives in Phoenix, AZ, loves being active and is married with two children. Her first book, I'm So Effing Tired was just released. In this episode, we dive into:  -The car accident that changed Dr. Shah’s life (8:40) -The army inside our body and the role nutrition plays when it comes to burnout (18:59)  -Fasting with our circadian rhythm (28:42)  -The importance of getting sunlight first thing in the morning (33:03)  -The most important change Dr. Shah made in her diet (35:31) -The 4S’s for creating healthy meals (43:11)  -How to optimize our biological rhythms (54:48)  -How to create a morning and evening routine to sync with our circadian rhythm (1:02:30)  -Setting boundaries and not feeling guilty about it (1:16:19) -Why fasting is different for women and the right way to do it (1:27:18) For more on Dr. Shah you can follow her on Instagram @FastingMD, on Facebook @AmyShahMD, on Twitter @AmyShahMD, and through her website https://amymdwellness.com/.

]]> 7337 no #203: My Step-by-Step Sleep Protocol https://shows.acast.com/broken-brain/episodes/203-my-step-by-step-sleep-protocol Welcome to The Big Idea of the Week! Quality sleep is essential for human health, yet 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. report getting less than 7 hours of sleep per night necessary for optimal health and well-being.
