With our fast-paced and stressful lifestyles, processed foods have become a more convenient option for parents and families. These foods often contain chemicals to give them additional flavor, create addiction, and hijack our taste buds. In order to create better health for our children, parents need some go-to tips and meal plan inspiration to bring real food back into their family's lives and reclaim health. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Vani Hari, more commonly known as the Food Babe, to discuss her top strategies for creating better health for your family. Vani Hari was named one of the “Most Influential People on the Internet” by Time Magazine.

Her new cookbook, Food Babe Family, will officially hit stores on October 17, 2023. She has led campaigns against food giants like Kraft, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Subway, and General Mills that attracted more than 500,000 signatures and led to the removal of several controversial ingredients used by these companies.

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.

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.

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.
