    Are women training the wrong way?  Should you really fear lifting weights?  How much protein do you actually need?  And what's the truth about Ozempic? In this episode of The Masoom Minawala Show, I sit down with renowned strength and conditioning coach Sohrab Khushrushahi for one of our most eye-opening conversations on women's fitness, strength training, nutrition, and long-term health. For years, we've been told to eat less, do more cardio, and chase the number on the scale. But what if the real goal isn't to become smaller, it's to become stronger?

In this episode, we spoke about: Why strength training is essential for every woman—not just athletes The biggest myths about cardio, weight loss, and getting "bulky" How much protein you actually need and whether too much protein is bad for your kidneys Why carbs are not the enemy and how to build a balanced diet The truth about protein powders and common nutrition myths Whether sports like Padel can replace strength training Fitness during pregnancy and how to exercise safely The role of muscle in metabolism, healthy aging, and longevity Sohrab's honest take on Ozempic and weight-loss drugs Why consistency matters more than intensity when it comes to fitness How to build sustainable workout habits you'll actually enjoy The mindset shift from training to look better to training to live better Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or looking to train smarter, this episode will change the way you think about movement, nutrition, and building a stronger, healthier body.

    Buying a diamond should feel exciting… but for most of us, it feels overwhelming. How do you know if a diamond is actually worth it? Should you care more about the 4Cs, the certificate, the size, or the sparkle? And why are more women buying diamonds for themselves instead of waiting for a milestone?

From decoding the biggest myths around diamond buying to understanding why sparkle may matter more than the 4Cs, this conversation is a masterclass for anyone looking to buy fine jewellery with confidence. We also explore how India is redefining the future of diamonds, why jewellery is becoming an everyday expression instead of just an investment, and how one of India's fastest-growing retail brands is changing the way women shop for jewellery. 💎 How to buy a diamond without getting overwhelmed💎 The biggest mistakes people make while shopping for diamonds💎 The truth about the 4Cs: Cut, Colour, Clarity & Carat💎 Why sparkle is the most underrated factor in a diamond💎 Diamond certificates: What actually matters?💎 Gold vs diamonds: Which should you buy?💎 Why more women are buying diamonds for themselves💎 India's role in the global diamond industry💎 Building Indriya into one of India's fastest-growing retail brands💎 The psychology behind luxury purchases and timeless design Whether you're planning your first diamond purchase, love luxury, or simply want to understand what makes a diamond truly valuable, this episode will change how you shop forever.

    Why Working Out Isn’t Helping You Lose Weight

    Is everything we've been taught about nutrition actually true? From calorie counting and high-protein diets to coffee, weight loss, and food labels, wellness advice has never been louder or more confusing. In this episode of The Masoom Minawala Show, I sit down with Layla Al Naif, holistic nutritionist and wellness educator, to separate health trends from science-backed habits. We dive into the biggest nutrition myths, why many people struggle with energy, gut health, and weight loss despite "doing everything right," and the simple changes that can make a real difference. If you've ever wondered whether you should drink coffee first thing in the morning, how much protein you actually need, or whether "low-fat" and "sugar-free" products are really healthier, this conversation is for you. Why working out alone doesn't lead to weight loss Why eating too little can put your body into survival mode The truth about high-protein diets and the 130g protein trend Should you drink coffee immediately after waking up? The simple morning habit that could improve your energy How to read food labels the right way Why ingredients matter more than calories and macros The truth about protein powders and third-party testing Are protein bars actually healthy? Why Layla prefers whole foods over processed alternatives The problem with low-fat, sugar-free, and "free-from" products Homemade electrolytes vs. expensive electrolyte powders Gut health, hormones, inflammation, and sustainable nutrition habits Practical advice to build a healthier relationship with food Whether your goal is to lose weight, improve gut health, balance your hormones, or simply understand nutrition better, this episode will challenge many of the beliefs we've accepted as facts.
