    205 - What’s Wrong With Our Sleep Today With Manohar Gandhi

    Manohar grappled with insomnia, leading to a desperate pursuit for a solution. Despite consulting psychologists and resorting to Anti-Anxiety Pills, the issue persisted. It was through the discovery of meditation that he found a lasting remedy. While immediate relief was not forthcoming, his perseverance with meditation eventually alleviated his anxiety, resulting in improved sleep quality. His transformative journey is chronicled in his book, "My Sleepless Nights," now accessible on Amazon. Having triumphed over his own sleep challenges, he now assists others in transitioning from restless nights plagued by anxiety to restful and tranquil sleep.
    Are we sleeping less than a decade? Do sleep tracking devices help? What is the one frequent advice on sleep that has not worked? For more on Manohar Gandhi, you can follow him:

    201 - Using Intuition To Sleep Better With Geeta Sethi

    A lover of food and nature since childhood, you will find Geeta either in the forest walking her dog, researching the latest on the microbiome or creating nourishing meals in her kitchen! Her spiritual journey of seeking answers from life after losing her husband to a heart attack at a young age led her to exploring the wisdom of Ayurveda which was not only a trigger for her to start living more consciously but also changed the trajectory of her whole life.

She’s appeared multiple times on “The Influencer Club” podcast, Menopause Made Easy podcast, local TV stations including Zee Canada and Velocity Athletic training Radio channel and loves sharing her knowledge and the wisdom of her culture!

A wonderful podcast.

Not only is Deepa a wonderful interviewer and able to bring out the best information held in the minds of the illustrious guests she interviews, but she has written a book which lucidly and beautifully brings together the modern research (in a down to earth way you can easily understand) with the ancient wisdom of the ancient Vedic seers. A delightful read for people like myself who love to validate the ancient texts with cutting edge research.
