We've never had more health information, yet more people feel tired, anxious, inflamed, and lost than ever. If you've been quietly wondering why every diet, app, and protocol still leaves your body asking for something more, this conversation is for you. In this episode of The Healing Mindset, Certified Wholistic Health Coach and naturopathic practitioner Victor Dedaj sits with Nazish to unpack the holistic health myths that have shaped modern wellness, from the truth about fats, salt, and cholesterol to gut health, stress, and the quiet power of laughter. It's not a new protocol. It's a return to what your body has been waiting for you to remember. About the Guest:Victor Dedaj is a Certified Wholistic Health Coach, Certified Naturopathic Practitioner, and Health, Wellness & Nutrition Expert based in New York. He is also a Certified Trainer in the Success Principles and Canfield Methodology by Jack Canfield, and the author of How to Be Happy, Healthy and Whole along with several other books on success and personal growth. Key Takeaways:A calorie is not just a calorie. Calories from fats, proteins, and carbohydrates behave differently in the body, and high-carb low-fat diets have quietly fueled decades of chronic illness.Cholesterol, salt, eggs, and saturated fats have been wrongly demonized. Your brain, hormones, and immune system depend on the very nutrients you may be avoiding.Acid reflux often isn't caused by too much stomach acid, but too little. Reducing acid long-term can compromise digestion and weaken your body's defense against harmful pathogens.70% of your immune system lives in your gut. Real food, fewer ultra-processed ingredients, and good quality supplements matter more than any trendy protocol.Stress, isolation, and emotional suppression weaken immunity. People who live past 100 share one quiet habit: they protect themselves from chronic stress and stay connected to laughter, prayer, and joy.You don't need to overhaul your life overnight. Small consistent steps, walking 10 minutes, reading ingredient labels, sleeping enough, compound into real, lasting health.
