He now pioneers EcoMedicine from his small regenerative teaching farm. His upcoming book, Indoor Epidemic, reveals a clinically validated intervention, presenting nature as foundational medicine, an essential component of health, and the missing pillar in optimizing longevity and healthspan.

    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. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Appelbaum dive into: (0:00) Intro (00:47) The powerful neurological link between your eyes and brain (03:38) The modern habits quietly damaging our vision (05:03) Simple ways to reduce daily eye strain (09:26) The long-term consequences of neglecting vision health (14:13) How visual overload leads to brain fog and burnout (19:24) Vision exercises you can do anywhere and why peripheral vision matters (29:43) Dr. Appelbaum’s journey overcoming his own vision challenges (34:14) The truth about dyslexia and reading struggles (45:02) Protecting your eyes in a screen-dominated world (57:08) The surprising power of “eye push-ups” (1:03:06) The best sports for training your eyes and brain (1:07:14) Do reading glasses actually help?

    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.

    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?

    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.
