Kula: South Asian Health

Krish Nandkeshwar

Welcome to Kula, the community for South Asian Health. Kula, is the Sanskrit word for community - which is what this podcast is all about, bringing together a community of the leading South Asian health experts to talk all things health, fitness, nutrition, and wellness. Our community struggles with poor dietary habits and lack of exercise, leading to increased rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer - a negative trend that needs radical change. I interview the top South Asian athletes, fitness coaches, doctors, nutritionists, and other health experts.
