    What Chronic Illness and A Life Altering Diagnosis Can Teach Us About Living Life To Our Fullest Potential

    This episode is brought to you by Pique Life and Cozy Earth. Navigating illness—whether it's our own or that of someone we deeply love—is one of life’s greatest challenges. It can shake our foundations, test our resilience, and bring uncertainty to even the most grounded lives. But amid the struggle, illness also holds the potential to awaken us—to deepen our understanding of the body, sharpen our intuition, and reconnect us to something greater than ourselves. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with top experts on near-death experiences and how these profound moments can become portals to healing, clarity, and deep self-discovery. Anita Moorjani shares the life-changing lessons and mindset shifts she experienced during her coma, and how her near-death experience transformed the way she lives today. Dr. Cynthia Li opens up about her journey with autoimmune illness and the limitations of a traditional medical system that often waits until symptoms are severe before taking action. She explains why it’s essential to create space between your identity and your diagnosis, and highlights the key pillars that guided her path to healing. Anita Moorjani is a renowned author and spiritual speaker known for her transformative journey beyond the brink of death. Anita battled end-stage cancer before experiencing a remarkable near-death experience (NDE) that shifted her perspective on life. Her bestselling memoir, “Dying to Be Me,” chronicles her profound journey and miraculous healing.  Dr. Cynthia Li has practiced as an internist in settings as diverse as Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, San Francisco General Hospital, and St. Anthony Medical Clinic, serving the homeless.

    How to Rewire a Fearful, Judgmental, and Stressed-Out Mind into One Rooted in Freedom and Presence with Joe Hudson

    This episode is brought to you by Bon Charge, LMNT, and BiOptimizers. Did you know that your judgmental thoughts—about both yourself and others—could be contributing to unhappiness, blocking joy, and even affecting your health? Most people don’t realize that these thoughts often stem from a fear of fully feeling and embracing the emotions that arise in certain situations. When we avoid those emotions, we remain stuck in patterns of judgment and disconnection. Today’s guest is here to help us break free. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Joe Hudson to explore how judgment, whether directed outward or inward, influences our thoughts, relationships, and overall well-being. Joe shares what leads us to have judgmental thoughts, the initial high it brings, and the vulnerable feelings that it covers up. Joe also shares the roadblocks that hold us back from being exactly who we want to be, as well as the common pattern of self-reliance, abandonment, and shame. It’s time to drop the judgment and reclaim your freedom. Dubbed “the coach behind Silicon Valley’s unicorn CEOs,” Joe Hudson is one of the most in-demand mentors to top leaders at OpenAI, Apple, Alphabet, and beyond. With a background in venture capital and over 25 years of deep work across psychology, neuroscience, and contemplative traditions, Joe has crafted a radically different path to personal growth—one that goes far beyond traditional self-help. His approach rewires how people relate to themselves, dissolving internal blocks and unlocking sustainable high performance rooted in ease, clarity, and joy. In this episode, Dhru and Joe dive into: How self-judgment impacts our well-being and emotional regulation (00:15) Why judging others feels good, the inner voice, and the impact of negative self-talk (5:16) Are our judgmental thoughts contributing to physical disease in the body? (14:58) Joe's personal journey and what he internalized from childhood (18:18) Why the inner voice in your head is often wrong (24:13) Judgment, shame, and guilt as key drivers of stress (30:51) How do you want to be right now? (35:07) How to deal with internal resistance (42:57) The connection between abandonment and self-reliance (44:35) Understanding the pattern of abandonment and how to address it (51:95) Receiving unconditional love and building unconditional relationships (56:40) An introduction to The Matrix Protocol (1:08:15) What it means to live in the compassionate truth (1:20:12) The hidden “protocol” of unhappiness (1:24:47) Gratitude moments and shifting from lack to love (1:33:04) How stress, lack of enjoyment, and negative self-talk threaten our well-being (1:43:31) Where to find Joe’s work and resources (1:49:57) For more on Joe, follow him on Twitter, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and his Website.

    Why Excess Added Sugar is Driving Modern Diseases and How to Take Back Our Metabolic Health and Overcome a Sedentary Lifestyle

    This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Ollie. Sugar is everywhere in the modern diet, and it's silently driving a massive wave of chronic illness. From insulin resistance and fatty liver to cognitive decline, the overconsumption of ultra-processed, sugar-laden foods has created a health crisis hiding in plain sight. As scientists uncover deeper connections between sugar, metabolism, and brain health, one thing is clear: this isn’t just about cutting calories—it’s about changing the way we eat to protect our long-term well-being. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with top experts on the connection between insulin resistance, fatty liver, and Alzheimer’s disease.  Dr. Robert Lustig shares the impact of added sugar on mitochondrial health and metabolism. He also discusses what you can expect when significantly reducing the amount of added sugar in your diet, why the quality of your calories matters, and the fascinating ways our bodies store fat.  Dr. Richard Johnson discusses his revolutionary new hypothesis on the link between fructose consumption and Alzheimer’s disease. Dhru and Dr. Johnson discuss the evolutionary mechanism behind fructose metabolism, insulin resistance, and weight gain, which has backfired due to its overconsumption. In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into: What is leptin resistance (2:11) Thin on the outside, fat on the inside (TOFI) (5:55) The three sites of fat deposition in the body (6:47) Key findings from the SHINE study (17:03) The Metabolic Matrix: feed the gut, protect the liver, and support the brain (21:35) Dr. Johnson’s hypothesis on the link between Alzheimer’s and fructose consumption (25:05) The origins of Alzheimer’s: what’s happening in the brain (33:28) Uric acid as a driver of fat accumulation, and its connection to gout, obesity, and other diseases (31:13) The relationship between salt, dehydration, and fructose production (45:51) How fructose increases our cravings for sugar (50:01) The role of fructose in Alzheimer’s disease (56:56) Also mentioned: Full episode with Dr. Robert Lustig Full episode with Dr. Richard Johnson This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Ollie.

    The Labs You Need Your Doctor to Run to Know if Your Metabolically Healthy

    This episode is brought to you by Square, Branch Basics, and Manukora Honey. When we’re told our labs are “normal,” that doesn’t always mean they’re optimal—especially considering that over one-third of Americans are prediabetic and 47 million have metabolic syndrome. Metabolic health is the foundation of true longevity. Without actively supporting it, the risk of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes increases. The good news? Prioritizing metabolic health through simple lifestyle changes can lead to long-term vitality and meaningful transformation. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with top experts on the most underrated blood tests for metabolic health and how to decode optimal lab markers. Dr. Tyna Moore breaks down the science behind metabolic dysfunction and its connection to chronic disease. She shares the essential labs to order, how often to test, and what optimal results should look like. She also offers practical tips for beginners on getting started with resistance training. Dr. Ben Bikman dives into how elevated fasting insulin contributes to insulin resistance, fat storage, and challenges in sustainable weight loss. He also explores how genetics play a role in weight gain and why lowering insulin—not just counting calories—should be the first step in any effective weight-loss strategy. Dr. Tyna Moore is a board-certified naturopathic and chiropractic physician and the founder and owner of Core Wellness Clinic in Portland, Oregon. She specializes in non-surgical pain management, natural pain solutions, and regenerative injection therapies for orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions.  Dr. Ben Bikman is a metabolic research scientist and author of Why We Get Sick, which explores insulin resistance as a root cause of many chronic health issues. With a PhD in bioenergetics and postdoctoral work in metabolic disorders, he now serves as an associate professor at BYU, where he studies insulin’s role in obesity, diabetes, and mitochondrial health.
