    "Guddi Tu Kar Legi" - THE MESSAGE SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HEAR | Prasiddhi Khare Mishra | Medium

    Grief doesn't end — and maybe it was never meant to. Clairvoyant and medium, PRASIDDHI KHARE MISHRA joins Chhavi Mittal to talk about coping with grief, losing a parent, and why she believes we never truly "get over" the people we love. In this episode of Candid Confessions With Chhavi, we talk about: • The guilt-ridden questions people carry: "Was it because of me?" • Soul groups and soulmates • Why she refuses to sell mediumship sessions or promise to "connect" you with anyone • Dream visitations, automatic writing, cartomancy, pendulums — and why she doesn't recommend psychic boards to untrained people • How to spot people who exploit grieving families If you've lost a parent, a partner, a child, a friend, and felt like the world expected you to move on faster than your heart could, this conversation is for you. If this episode reached you, please like, share and follow. It genuinely helps more people find these conversations.

(13:57) Is it possible to communicate with departed souls? What does the soul actually want? Does it want to pass to another realm, stay in this one, or be communicated with? (20:10) When somebody passes, are they always around? The reason you don't sell mediumship sessions. (21:02) Is there a specific time frame in which a soul passes over to the next dimension?

    YOUR BONES START DECLINING AT 30 - THEN MENOPAUSE HITS | Dr. Nirad Vengsarkar | Candid Confessions

    Bone health after 30 is something almost nobody warned us about — and for women, menopause brings a second decline. In this episode of Candid Confessions With Chhavi, Orthopaedic, Joint Replacement & Spine surgeon DR. NIRAD VENGSARKAR, joins us for an honest conversation about bones, knees, back and what really happens as we age. Why bone mass builds only until about 30, why knee replacement is far more common in women than men, and why muscle mass — not just calcium — may be the thing we're all underestimating. We also address: • Muscle mass, strength training and weight-bearing exercise • Posture, slip discs and the everyday habits that quietly add up • Calcium vs Vitamin D • Knee replacement: why pain and quality of life matter more than an X-ray • Robotic vs conventional knee surgery — cost, recovery, physiotherapy, and his frank take on the marketing around it • When a second opinion is worth taking, and what recovery honestly feels like. If you've been putting your knees, back and bone health at the bottom of your list while looking after everyone else, this one is for you. If this was useful, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. GUEST: DR.

Decline of bone health starting at 30 & menopause. (04:31) When someone comes to you at 60 with a problem, what are you thinking about the next 25 years? (04:58) What did the person who comes to you at 60 do in their 20s that led them here? Increase in exercising but decline in bone health. (07:02) Tell me more about muscle mass and how it develops. (08:37) Why do so few doctors actually know about exercise? (09:29) How important is losing weight compared to going in for surgery? (11:57) What should we be doing in our twenties — or even earlier — in terms of activity and diet for bone health? (12:51) Why shouldn't younger people start strength training? (16:12) Can you look at a young person's walk and posture and predict what problems they'll have in 20 years? (18:24) Many people are terrified of surgery and would rather live in pain — are conventional surgeries really that scary? (21:13) If your mobility is around 50% before surgery, will it become 100% after? (22:17) What's the difference between conventional knee and hip replacement and robotic surgery? (24:54) What are the risks involved in a robotic surgery? (25:46) Besides knees and hips, what other kinds of robotic surgeries can be done? (26:17) What about slip disc — can that be done robotically? (27:16) Who is the perfect candidate for a robotic surgery? (28:33) Tell me something about robotic surgeries that an orthopedic surgeon wouldn't normally reveal. (30:00) Truth about calcium for bone health. (32:13) When a surgeon says you need surgery, how much truth is there in that — can it sometimes be avoided, and should it be? (35:04) Is there a way to slow degeneration with age, or is a certain amount of wear inevitable at 40 and 60? (36:12) Given that remodeling, could you have an entirely different skeleton after 10 years? (36:48) How is it possible that people transform their bodies and lift weights after 50 and their back pain disappears? (37:50) How harmful is anabolic steroid use for weight lifting, especially for bone health? How safe are weight loss drugs? (40:12) Audience question: I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis at 25 and it's worsening — what should I be doing? (43:43) Closing thoughts.

    The Neurology of Sleep, Stress & Lifestyle | Dr. Deepak Aiwale | Candid Confessions

    What does a neurologist actually treat? And how much can we do to protect our brain and nervous system before disease even begins? In this episode, we speak to DR. DEEPAK AIWALE, a leading Neurologist and the Founder and Chairman of Solaris Hospital, to take a deeper look at modern neurology — far beyond just headaches and strokes. We discuss how neurologists diagnose and treat conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and nerves, including stroke, recurrent strokes and autoimmune neurological disorders, and why rehabilitation is such an important part of neurological care. We also talk about something that often gets overlooked: prevention. How do sleep, screen time, lifestyle and daily habits affect brain health? Why should children be taught about healthy sleep and brain-friendly habits early in life? And what is the role of primordial and primary care in preventing neurological disease before it becomes a serious problem? If you’ve ever wondered when to see a neurologist, this conversation is for you. #Neurology #BrainHealth #StrokePrevention Share it with someone who may need this. GUEST: DR.
