    Intentional Living Can Heal Your Body. Here’s How to Implement It w/ Dipa Chauhan | Ep 39

    When we talk about health, most of us focus on diets, exercise programs, or even the latest weight-loss medications. But one element rarely gets enough attention: living with intention. Intentional living isn’t just a feel-good buzzword. Research shows that when our daily habits align with our values, we see measurable improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure, immune function, and even cancer risk.  In fact, intentional living creates a powerful feedback loop: reducing stress hormones like cortisol, strengthening resilience, and anchoring us in self-love rather than self-criticism. Without this intentional foundation, even the “best” diets or medications can backfire, leading to muscle loss, burnout, or self-sabotage. On the flipside, small, value-driven changes act like compound interest, adding years of vibrant life to our “health bank.” How do we actually make intentional living sustainable? How do we rewire identity, self-talk, and even our microbiome to support long-term health? In this episode, I’m joined by Dipa Chauhan, a retired pharmacist turned functional medicine provider, author of Healing Habits, and creator of the Living Light Metabolic Reset Program.  After surviving life-threatening childbirth complications and reclaiming her health through nutrition, self-love, and lifestyle choices, she now helps others make intentional living both simple and sustainable. Together, we unpack the science, spirituality, and daily practices behind intentional health, and why even the smallest steps can transform your energy, resilience, and future.   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  -Why identity matters more than willpower Unaddressed negative self-talk sabotages positive changes. How do you create the identity shift that makes new habits stick? -Personalized nutrition decoded Everyone responds to diets differently. Why do Mediterranean or paleo-style diets work differently depending on your genetics and microbiome? -Eating the rainbow, simplified What happens to blood sugar, immunity, and gut health when you build meals around color diversity? -Navigating social events with intention It can be challenging to stick to good eating habits in social settings. What practical strategies help you stay aligned with your values without missing out on connection or joy?   Guest Bio Dipa Chauhan is a Functional Medicine and Weight Loss Expert, co-founder of The Living Proof Institute, creator of the Living Light Metabolic Reset, and author of Healing Habits. She helps clients optimize energy, sleep, and body composition so they can feel happier, peaceful, and confident in their bodies.

    Why You’re Struggling With Insulin Resistance (It’s Not JUST About Carbs) w/ Dr. Maguy Chiha | Ep 38

    When we talk about insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, the conversation almost always revolves around sugar, carbs, fat, or body weight. But there’s one factor that rarely gets enough attention: muscle mass.   Skeletal muscle isn’t just for strength or aesthetics. It’s the single largest site of glucose disposal in the body, responsible for up to 80% of how we use sugar after a meal.    Which means that having low muscle mass actually increases insulin resistance, even if your weight or BMI looks “normal.” On the flipside, building muscle is one of the most effective ways to counteract a genetic predisposition to diabetes. The surprising problem is that most people are unaware of how to do it. We’ve been taught to obsess over cardio, calorie counting, or cutting carbs, but rarely taught how resistance training, protein intake, and lifestyle choices protect our metabolism through muscle. Why is muscle mass a game-changer for insulin resistance? How do we make sure we’re optimizing our nutrition and exercise? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Maguy Chiha, a triple board–certified endocrinologist in internal medicine, endocrinology & metabolism, and obesity medicine. Together, we explore the hidden role of muscle mass in insulin resistance, why so many patients are overlooked until it’s too late, and practical steps to increase muscle and protect your metabolic health.   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  -Muscle is your glucose engine Skeletal muscle, not the liver, is the real powerhouse of glucose control. If 75–80% of sugar disposal happens here, what happens when muscle shrinks with age or fills with fat? -The hidden risk of “skinny fat” Why a normal BMI doesn’t protect you. How visceral fat and low lean mass in certain populations (like South Asians) make diabetes risk skyrocket—even at “healthy” weights. -Protein timing & resistance training When it comes to exercise, cardio alone won’t cut it. How does lifting weights and eating protein daily make your body burn fat without starving? Guest Bio   Dr. Chiha is a triple board-certified physician in internal medicine, endocrinology and metabolism, and obesity medicine. She completed her undergrad and graduate medical education at the American University of Beirut before moving to the United States to complete her residency in Michigan. And later she did her endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism fellowship at Loyola College University in Illinois. She worked for several years at Mount Sinai Hospital in Chicago, where she headed the division of endocrinology and was the physician champion of the Diabetes Center for Excellence, as well as the Diabetes Service Line Director. In her current practice, Dr. Chiha practices general endocrinology, but has a focus and interest in diabetes management, obesity management, as well as women's health and menopause.

    Science Said “Impossible,” God Said Otherwise, Here Are Their Stories w/ Susan Toor and Janet Joseph Selvanathan | Ep 37

    For most modern believers, miracles feel like stories locked in the pages of scripture. Science explains almost everything today, and medicine is the first place we turn when sickness strikes.  What if some healings can’t be explained by scans, surgeries, or prescriptions?  What if, in an age of data and diagnostics, God is still doing what only He can do, restoring, reversing, and renewing in ways science cannot? That’s exactly what this episode of Time to Transform explores. From asthma disappearing overnight, to infertility reversed against all medical odds, to a stroke reversed after an hour of unconsciousness, these aren’t vague testimonies. These are healings measured, documented, and confirmed, living reminders that God’s power is not confined to ancient times. My guests are women who straddle both worlds: faith and medicine. Susan, a church leader who once lived with chronic asthma and infertility, shares multiple decades-long healings that even doctors admitted defied explanation. Janet is a nurse who doubted miracles after watching her brother live with cerebral palsy. She tells the story of her own medically verified healing when a fibroid disappeared, proof that God’s hand still moves, even when doubt clouds belief. In this episode, we explore what happens when faith collides with science, and what it means to trust a God who is still able to do the impossible.   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  -Asthma gone overnight without prayerful expectation Could a casual, half-hearted prayer really end decades of hospital visits, inhalers, and wheezing attacks instantly? -Infertility reversed with “zero chance” reports What happens when a couple told they had no viable sperm count ends up conceiving not once, but twice? -When prayer outruns the “golden hour” of stroke treatment How does a man collapse with textbook stroke symptoms, miss the critical 60-minute window for treatment, and still walk away without a trace of damage? -Healing in the face of hereditary disease Why did a nurse, genetically predisposed to gynecological illness, see her fibroid vanish on scans without surgery or medication? -From doubt to undeniable How did years of watching her brother live with cerebral palsy convince Janet that healing wasn’t real? What finally shattered her unbelief when she experienced a miracle herself? Guest Bio Susan Toor is a committed church leader whose life was deeply shaped by the burden of chronic asthma and persistent infertility. Despite years of medical care, neither condition abated, until a seemingly casual prayer brought both breathing and conception. Today, Susan serves as a bridge between spirituality and science, offering medically documented stories of sustained healing that defy medical explanation and invite a reconsideration of what faith and divine intervention can look like in our modern world. Janet Joseph Selvanathan is a Malaysian Wound and Stoma Care Nurse with over 15 years of experience in critical care, wound management, and patient education. She began her career as an ICU nurse in Malaysia before moving to Abu Dhabi in 2015, where she has since served at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. Over the past decade, she has become a trusted specialist in advanced wound therapies, stoma care, and pressure injury prevention, while leading hospital-wide audits and quality improvement initiatives. Beyond her professional achievements, Janet is a born-again Christian whose faith drives her passion for spirit-led healthcare transformation. Actively serving in her local church as part of the welcome team, she brings warmth, encouragement, and compassion both inside and outside the hospital. She believes in combining clinical excellence with dignity and hope-bringing healing that touches both body and soul.     About Your Host Hosted by Dr. Deepa Grandon, MD, MBA, a triple board-certified physician with over 23 years of experience working as a Physician Consultant for influential organizations worldwide.

    Asthma Relief: Lifestyle Changes That Work Better Than You Think for Asthma Control w/ Dr. Atoosa Kourosh | Ep 36

    For most people, asthma is a disease you manage with inhalers, pills, and a prayer that the ER isn’t your next stop. But new research is upending that view and changing everything we know about managing the condition.  The big shift? Medication alone might be the least effective way to manage this chronic condition.  Asthma is, after all, inflammatory by nature, but the lifestyle choices that fuel or fight inflammation are often ignored in traditional care plans.  What if the real triggers aren’t just pollen or pets, but processed food, poor sleep, and unchecked anxiety? And what if healing asthma requires more than bronchodilators, like learning how to breathe all over again?  So what does a truly modern, whole-person approach to asthma look like?  In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Atoosa Kourosh, an Asthma, Allergy & Immunology consultant physician and integrative medicine leader who’s spent two decades treating asthma from every angle, not just the pharmaceutical one.  We dive into what the latest science says about lifestyle as medicine, and how breathwork, nutrition, exercise, and gut health are changing the game for asthma patients everywhere. Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  Why your exhale matters more than your inhale Most asthma patients struggle more with getting air out than in. What do breathing techniques like Buteyko and Papworth do that traditional deep breathing doesn’t, and how can they rewire the lungs for better control? Can a Mediterranean diet reduce airway inflammation? Forget calorie counting. How do whole foods, fiber, and fermented veggies change your lung health through your gut? How obesity triggers two kinds of asthma dysfunction What’s the double whammy effect of body fat on asthmatic lungs? The cortisol-microbiome-asthma triangle What happens to your microbiome when you miss a night of sleep?   Guest Bio Dr. Atoosa Kourosh, MD, MPH, RYT, is a physician, board-certified in Pediatrics, Asthma, Allergy & Immunology, and Public Health. She’s also a patient health advocate. Dr. Kourosh combines treatment modalities from cutting-edge and mainstream medicine with the best of functional and integrative medicine therapies and traditional philosophies to treat the whole person in their environment. She is chair of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Integrative Medicine Committee and is an internationally renowned expert on holistic and integrative health.

    The Power of Oral Immunotherapy and Why Earlier is Better w/ Dr. Stuart Carr | Ep 35

    For many families, a food allergy diagnosis doesn’t just change what’s on the menu, it changes how they live. Suddenly, everyday moments like playdates, birthday parties, family vacations, or a simple trip to a restaurant feel like navigating a minefield. Parents become hyper-vigilant, kids feel isolated, and the fear of accidental exposure looms large, casting a shadow over milestones that should be joyful. But what if much of this suffering is preventable? What if the way we introduce food in infancy could reduce not just allergic reactions, but the emotional burden they carry? In this episode, I’m joined once again by Canadian board-certified Pediatric and Adult Allergist/Immunologist Dr. Stuart Carr. With over 3 decades of experience, Dr. Carr is the Chief Medical Officer at Snö Asthma & Allergy in Abu Dhabi. Today, Dr. Carr unpacks the mental health impact of food allergies and reveals how early allergen introduction and oral immunotherapy are reshaping the way we treat and prevent allergies.   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  -Why “just avoid the allergen” is outdated and harmful Avoidance doesn’t just limit diet, it can hardwire fear and worsen immune reactivity. How are avoidance-based strategies doing more harm than good? -The critical mistake parents make after introducing allergens Trying peanut butter once and checking it off the list isn’t enough. What frequency and dose prevents allergies from developing? -Reasonable respect vs. unreasonable fear Allergies aren’t just a physical issue, they also affect the mental health and quality of life of children and their families. What stresses do allergies cause in families? How does early introduction alleviate these stresses?    Guest Bio Dr. Stuart Carr is a Canadian board-certified Pediatric and Adult Allergist/Immunologist with over three decades of experience. He's been Chief Medical Officer at Snö Asthma & Allergy in Abu Dhabi since January 2019, following 20 years in academic clinical allergy practice in Edmonton, Canada, where he was an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Alberta. A Past-President of the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and a reviewer for their journal, Dr. Carr's primary interests include pediatric asthma, food allergy, and eosinophilic esophagitis. He's currently collaborating on a Canada-wide study examining the safety and effectiveness of oral immunotherapy for peanut and other food allergies in preschool children.

    Sugar: Why Your Sweet Tooth Might Be Sabotaging Your Health | Ep 34

    Sugar is everywhere…in our drinks, snacks, sauces, even our so-called "healthy" foods. And while we’ve all heard that too much is bad for us, most people have no idea just how much they’re consuming, or what it’s really doing to their body. It’s not just about cavities or a few extra pounds. Excess sugar consumption is one of the silent drivers behind metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and even heart disease. And sugar substitutes? They might seem like the answer, but the science is still out and in some cases, troubling. In this episode of Time to Transform, I break down the hard truths about processed sugar, natural sugars, and modern sweeteners. I explore the deeper impact of sweeteners on your long-term health, and how your genetics might make the risks even higher.   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  -The truth about natural sugar We’re told fruit is healthy but what about honey, maple syrup, and fruit juice?  -Why South Asians are more at risk Some people are more vulnerable to sugar’s effects, even in smaller amounts. How do genetics shape your risk for diabetes and heart disease? -The truth about sugar substitutes Artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, and plant-based options like stevia all come with trade-offs. Which ones are safest, and which ones could backfire? -How to break the cycle of sugar addiction Sugar hijacks your brain chemistry. So what does it take to regain control, without feeling deprived?   About Your Host Hosted by Dr. Deepa Grandon, MD MBA, triple board-certified physician with over 23 years of experience working as a Physician Consultant for influential organizations worldwide.

    What Really Causes Breast Cancer? The Answer Might Surprise You w/ Dr. Pamela Smith | Ep 33

    Breast cancer is one of the most talked-about health issues in the world, but there’s still so much we don’t discuss. While mammograms and early detection campaigns have saved countless lives, the conversation often stops there.  What’s missing is a deeper look at the lifestyle, genetic, and environmental factors that play a pivotal role in prevention, and the small, daily changes that can make a massive impact. Because here’s the truth: 80% of breast cancer cases are not inherited. They’re environmental. That means we have far more power than we think. But to tap into it, we need better guidance, smarter screening strategies, and a stronger understanding of how our bodies work. What kind of screenings should women get? How do factors like breast tissue increase the risk of breast cancer? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Pamela Smith, an internationally recognized functional medicine physician, author of 14 bestselling books, and co-director of the Personalized Medicine Certification at the University of South Florida.  She shares science-backed strategies to reduce your risk, strengthen your immune system, and support your body before and after a diagnosis. Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  The 3 things that feed cancer Sugar, stress, and toxins are the trifecta that fuel cancer cell growth. But how do you realistically cut them out and what’s secretly making them worse? Why 80% of breast cancer isn’t genetic Family history matters but not as much as your environment. Which everyday exposures and habits have the biggest impact on your risk? The truth about hormones and alcohol Is hormone therapy safe? And what happens when you mix it with alcohol?  What most women don’t know about screening Dense breast tissue, faulty methylation, even your gut health can affect your screening results. How do you make sure you’re getting the full picture of your health?   Guest Bio Pamela Wartian Smith, M.D., MPH, MS is an internationally known speaker and author on the subject of Anti-Aging and Precision Medicine. She spent her first twenty years of practice as an emergency room physician with the Detroit Medical Center in a level 1 trauma center and then 28 years as an Anti-Aging/Functional Medicine specialist.

    Kids, Mood Swings, and Mental Health: Separating Fact from Fiction | Ep 32

    We all want to raise healthy, happy children. But when it comes to their mental health, there’s a lot of confusion about what’s normal and what needs attention. You’ve probably heard things like, “Kids are just moody,” or “They’ll grow out of it.” But in today’s world, where screen time is up, attention spans are down, and anxiety is more common than ever, those casual explanations might be dangerously outdated. After leading a wellness session for teachers and parents at a local school, I was overwhelmed by the questions and concerns around kids’ emotional and mental well-being.
