The Top Foods in Our Diet That Contribute to Increased Anxiety with Dr. Uma Naidoo Dec 21, 2023

Show notes

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Whoop, and JOOV.

Anxiety diagnoses have been on the rise, especially in a post-pandemic world. With more and more people suffering from anxiety in our stressful lifestyles, it can be challenging to find a path forward and calm our minds. But we know that anxiety can be a powerful signal from our body that change needs to occur.

One change we can implement immediately is changing what we eat daily. Our food has the power to lower inflammation in our body, enhance gut bacteria, and ultimately change how we feel.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Uma Naidoo, a Harvard trained psychiatrist, Professional Chef, and Nutrition Specialist. Dr. Naidoo shares the research that shows the connection between the foods we eat and how we feel. She also shares the common myths about anxiety and lifestyle factors that can increase our anxiety, including ultra-processed foods, lack of fiber, and a sedentary lifestyle. Dr. Naidoo shows us how to fill our plates with foods and incorporate anxiety-busting foods into our diet.

Dr. Naidoo founded and directs the first hospital-based clinical service in Nutritional Psychiatry in the US. She is the Director of Nutritional and Lifestyle Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and Director of Nutritional Psychiatry at the Massachusetts General Hospital Academy while serving on the faculty at Harvard Medical School. She is the author of This is Your Brain on Food, and her new book, Calm Your Mind with Food, focuses on anxiety, the gut brain connection, and practical tools to calm our minds.

In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Naidoo dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version):

The common misconceptions about anxiety (1:44 / 1:44)
The foods in our diet and lifestyle factors that have increased anxiety (5:53 / 5:53)

"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 Dec 18, 2023

Show notes

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)

Super Charge Your 2024 Goals and Intentions with my Step-by-Step Gratitude Workshop Dec 12, 2023

Show notes

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)

How to Talk About Politics and Other Difficult Topics without Losing Your Friends or Selling Your Soul with Denise Gitsham Dec 07, 2023

Show notes

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)

How To Reprogram Your Body, Mind, and Spirit to Break Free of Past Programming, Illness, and The Matrix with Dr. Bruce Lipton Dec 04, 2023

Show notes

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, and Pique Life.

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)
