 #216: How to Tap into Your Gut Intuition and Tune Out Society’s Noise and Expectations with Light Watkins | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2:11:54

How to Tap into Your Gut Intuition and Tune Out Society’s Noise and Expectations | This episode is brought to you by Thrive Market and BiOptimizers.We’re all on our own paths of learning which inner voice to follow. There’s usually the one urging us to take the easy option, but there’s also the (often quieter) inner voice nudging us to stretch ourselves and take on a challenge. Have you ever felt a little scared but also excited about a new endeavor? That inner guide is trying to help you grow. Like everything in life, it can take some time and practice to be in touch with our intuition and benefit from it. But just like with working out, we have to get a little uncomfortable and put in the energy if we want to get stronger—it’s true for both body and mind. This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru has a thoughtful conversation with our friend Light Watkins, all about finding that inner guide, sharing inspiration, reframing our perception of good and bad, and giving ourselves permission to let things go. Light has been operating in the meditation space since 1998, first as a practitioner, then as an apprentice to his Vedic Meditation teacher, and finally as a teacher himself. Prior to the pandemic, he was traveling the world from a single backpack giving talks on happiness, mindfulness, inspiration, and meditation, as well as leading popular meditation trainings and retreats. Light is the author of The Inner Gym: A 30-Day Workout for Strengthening Happiness, Bliss More: How to Succeed in Meditation Without Really Trying, and his most recent book, Knowing Where to Look: 108 Doses of Daily Inspiration.In this episode, we dive into: -Why money, relationships, and the pursuit of success can be three of the best spiritual teachers (12:50) -Perception and how we respond to situations (14:50) -How to tap into your inner guide (24:52) -What inspired Light to shed his life’s possessions and become a nomad (33:24) -The illusion of discipline (36:58) -Dhru’s gratitude exercise (49:40) -Why letting go of something is harder than holding on (1:23:05) -Why it’s so difficult to tap into our intuition (1:43:26) -Lights approach to meditation (1:50:47) -How to start taking action on your purpose (1:56:47)Also mentioned in this episode:-Bliss More: How to Succeed in Meditation Without Really Trying by Light Watkins - https://www.lightwatkins.com/challenge-Meditation Takes You Deeper Than Sleep with Light Watkins - https://drhyman.com/blog/2018/07/26/the-broken-brain-podcast-meditation-takes-you-deeper-than-sleep-with-light-watkins-13/For more on Light Watkins you can follow him on Instagram @LightWatkins, on Twitter @LightWatkins, and through his website https://www.lightwatkins.com/.

Over time, these dinners developed into a community. With thousands of members, Influencers is the largest community of its type worldwide.  Dhru and Jon discuss the art and science of creating deep and meaningful connections with anyone. They also talk about how we develop influence, gain trust, and build community so that we can impact our communities and achieve what is most important to us.In this episode, we dive into: -The greatest predictor of longevity (2:05) -Why having close friends increases our longevity (9:53) -The impact of loneliness on our health (14:15)-How to create deep and meaningful relationships (21:47) -The Influencers Dinner (34:52) -The influence equation and how to apply it to our lives (49:39) -Post-traumatic growth (1:03:34) -Optimal anxiety (1:05:31) -How to get an invitation to an Influencers event (1:11:04) -The impact of social isolation on our health  (1:12:39)For more on Jon Levy you can follow him on Instagram @JonLevyTLB, on Facebook @JonLevyTLB, on Twitter @JonLevyTLB, and through his website https://www.jonlevytlb.com/.

 The Emotions You Resist Will Persist (Minisode #34) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 19:41

Most of us try to ignore tough feelings, by pushing them deep down inside or looking for a distraction that makes us feel temporarily better. When we disconnect from these feelings, we move away from confidence, health, and our desired pursuits, ultimately undermining our ability to fully realize our ambitions.On this week’s mini-episode, Dhru sits down with Dr. Joan Rosenberg, a cutting-edge psychologist, innovative thinker, and trainer. She is a two-time TEDx speaker, and the bestselling author of 90 Seconds to a Life you Love: How to Master Your Difficult Feelings to Cultivate Lasting Confidence, Resilience and Authenticity. Dr. Rosenberg shares the eight most influential feelings that people need to work through if they want to find success. All of them are common, everyday reactions to things not turning out the way we want. Our desire to avoid these feelings leads to unresolved issues; Dr. Rosenberg explains why that is so dangerous and how even just 90 seconds of sitting in discomfort can entirely change our capacity to cope. Find Dhru’s full-length conversation with Dr. Joan Rosenberg here: https://lnk.to/DrJoanRosenberg/ For more on Dhru Purohit, be sure to follow him on Instagram @dhrupurohit, on Facebook @dhruxpurohit, on Twitter @dhrupurohit, and on YouTube @dhrupurohit.

 How to Live a Life Without Regrets (Minisode #33) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 23:18

Did you know that 76% of deathbed regrets come down to one thing: living life according to someone else’s vision. We’re often pressured to pursue dreams that aren’t actually ours. The expectation to become a lawyer, doctor, to follow in the family’s business—or a number of other things—can take us on a path purely focused on making other people happier than ourselves. In this mini-episode, Dhru speaks with Ben Nemtin and Chase Jarvis about how to live a life without regrets, and how we can design our lives to fulfill our own dreams through the power of creativity, without getting stuck in the rut of only pleasing the people we love. Ben Nemtin is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of What Do You Want to Do Before You Die? and a star of MTV’s highest rated show ever on iTunes and Amazon called The Buried Life. As the co-founder of The Buried Life movement, Ben’s message of radical possibility has been featured on The Today Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, FOX, and NBC News. President Obama called Ben and The Buried Life “inspiration for a new generation” and Oprah declared their mission “truly inspiring.”  Chase Jarvis is an award-winning artist, entrepreneur, and one of the most influential photographers of the past decade. He has created campaigns for Apple, Nike, Red Bull and others, was a contributor to the Pulitzer-winning New York Times story Snowfall, and earned an Emmy nomination for his documentary Portrait of a City. He also created Best Camera–the first photo app to share images to social networks, and is the Founder of CreativeLive, where more than 10 million students learn photography, video, design, music, and business from the world’s top creators and entrepreneurs.  Find Dhru’s full-length conversation with Ben Nemtin here: https://lnk.to/BenNemtin/ Find Dhru’s full-length conversation with Chase Jarvis here: https://lnk.to/ChaseJarvis/ For more on Dhru Purohit, be sure to follow him on Instagram @dhrupurohit, on Facebook @dhruxpurohit, on Twitter @dhrupurohit, and on YouTube @dhrupurohit.

 #208: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That’s Lost Its Mind with Jamie Wheal | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 3:13:29

If you’re looking for a way to explore the concept of meaning, how it relates to culture, religion, politics, history, sexuality, dissatisfaction, and so much more, this podcast is for you.  We’re currently experiencing a crisis of meaning. People and groups are divided, each convinced their way of thinking and their beliefs are the “right” ones. We have a hard time letting multiple things be true at the same time, when in reality they are but all of our realities are different. We get weighed down by the complexities of information overload and experience grief in the process. Since most of us run from bad feelings or simply don’t know how to address them, we go into denial and look for an escape. We end up with more anxiety, more depression, and poorer relationships.  But this isn’t an unstoppable progression. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Jamie Wheal about why it’s so hard to make sense of the world right now and what we can do to help ourselves expand our understanding. They discuss the five key drivers that give us the tools to wake up, grow up, and show up for ourselves. They also talk about how we move from broken to whole, and how we cure isolation with connection. Jamie is the author of the global bestseller and Pulitzer Prize-nominated Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, Navy SEALs and Maverick Scientists are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work. Jamie is an expert in peak performance and leadership, specializing in neuroanthropology––the intersection of culture, biology, and psychology—and the founder of the Flow Genome Project, an international organization dedicated to the research and training of ultimate human performance.  In this episode, we dive into: -Why we are in a crisis of meaning (3:12)-The current culture wars (34:35) -The apocalypse we find ourselves in (1:03:30) -The three things that help us deal with life better (1:06:20)-How to be inclusive (1:08:59)-Alchemy and personal transformation (1:36:44)-Why sexuality can be a powerful gateway into higher consciousness (1:37:43)-Orgasms as a treatment for depression (2:00:51) -How music connects us (2:19:52)-How to get out of our own way and create greater connection (2:54:30)Also mentioned in this episode:-The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk - https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748-Love Drugs: The Chemical Future of Relationships by Brian Earp and Julian Savulescu  - https://www.amazon.com/Love-Drugs-Chemical-Future-Relationships/dp/0804798192-This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession by Daniel Levitin - https://www.amazon.com/This-Your-Brain-Music-Obsession/dp/0452288525For more on Jamie Wheal you can follow him on Instagram @flowgenome, on Facebook @jamiewhealpage, on Twitter @flowgenome, and through his website https://www.flowgenomeproject.com/.

 Childhood Trauma is Making Us Sick (Minisode #32) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 21:08

It’s part of the human condition to run away from pain. Most of us have habits that we acquired as a way to cope with painful childhood experiences or traumas, which unfortunately don’t serve us as adults. These habits can manifest as addiction in a wide variety of forms, from substance abuse to overworking. In this mini-episode, Dhru speaks with Dr. Omid Naim and Dr. Gabor Maté about why society is so sick, and what is contributing to the epidemic of mental health disorders and chronic health conditions.  Dr. Omid Naim is the founder of Hope Integrative Psychiatry, a multi-modal approach for whole person transformation and healing. He also founded the non-profit, La Maida Project, which designs new models for families, communities, and organizations to become ecosystems of optimal health and well-being based on our innate human nature.  Dr. Gabor Maté is a retired physician who, after 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, worked for over a decade in Vancouver’s Downtown EastSide with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness. Dr. Maté is the bestselling author of four books published in twenty-five languages, and is an internationally renowned speaker highly sought after for his expertise on addiction, trauma, childhood development, and the relationship of stress and illness.  Find Dhru’s full-length conversation with Dr. Omid Naim here: https://lnk.to/DrOmidNaim2/ Find Dhru’s full-length conversation with Dr. Gabor Maté here: https://lnk.to/DrGaborMate/ For more on Dhru Purohit, be sure to follow him on Instagram @dhrupurohit, on Facebook @dhruxpurohit, on Twitter @dhrupurohit, and on YouTube @dhrupurohit.

 #207: The Dangers of Fluoride on the Brain and IQ with Dr. Mark Burhenne | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:28:31

If we want to continue learning how to optimize health, we have to stay open to new information that might contradict previous research, even if it questions the status quo. Fluoride and dental health are great examples of this process. Fluoride gained support due to an observation one man made many years ago, which has progressed into many cities fluoridating their water and most dentists singing its praises. But over the years the research on fluoride has greatly evolved, to the point that we can now see large differences in how it works topically versus internally, and identify risks that come with consumption. Today’s guest on The Dhru Purohit Podcast spent much of his time as a new dentist and new parent grappling with whether it was a good idea to give fluoride to his kids. Dr. Mark Burhenne is a functional dentist, and  the author of the #1 Amazon bestseller The 8-Hour Sleep Paradox. He has appeared in Dr. Hyman's Sleep Masterclass, the oral microbiome docuseries Gateway to Health, NPR, and many more. Dhru and Dr. Burhenne talk about the emerging research that supports connections between fluoride and IQ changes, neurotoxicity, arthritis, osteosarcomas, and changes in metabolism, among other concerns. Dr. Burhenne explains how fluoride works in the body, and why using it topically is very different than consuming it. They also talk about the root cause of cavities—it’s not a deficiency in fluoride, but the sugary and starchy foods making up the Standard American Diet, an altered oral microbiome, and mouth breathing.In this episode, we dive into: -What made Dr. Burhenne first question fluoride (3:24) -Why fluoride is added to our water (8:52) -Conventional dentistry and fluoride use (14:22) -Studies that show why we need to rethink adding fluoride to our water (21:47) -The EPA Federal lawsuit that could limit fluoride in drinking water (24:25) -The effects of fluoride on the brain (31:42) -How we get fluoride in water (35:29) -Why fluoride in toothpaste doesn’t really work (37:59) -How to choose a water filter (50:18) -Dr. Burhenne’s toothpaste recommendations (56:36) -What actually creates cavities and healthy teeth (1:05:02) -What we can learn from modern hunter-gatherers when it comes to dental health (1:11:22) Also mentioned in this episode:-The EPA Federal lawsuit that could limit fluoride in drinking water - https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/federal-lawsuit-could-limit-fluoride-drinking-water-Prenatal Fluoride Exposure and Cognitive Outcomes in Children at 4 and 6-12 Years of Age in Mexico - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28937959/-The Association Between Maternal Fluoride Exposure During Pregnancy and IQ Scores in Offspring in Canada - https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2748634-Fluoride Action Network - http://fluoridealert.org/-ZeroWater Filter - https://zerowater.com/-RiseWell Toothpaste - https://risewell.com/-Boka Oral Care - https://www.boka.com/-The Secret to Better Sleep?
