Feeling like crap has become pervasive. In fact, in 2018, the World Health Organization added “burnout” as a diagnosable medical condition. Today, more than 90 percent of US workers say they feel it’s difficult to wake up and they don’t have the will or a way to try. On top of that, one in five Americans has clinical anxiety. One in twelve has major depression. Ten percent of all kids are diagnosed with ADHD, a condition that doesn’t magically disappear on someone’s 18th birthday.

This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sat down with Dr. Robin Berzin to talk about why we are all anxious, tired, burned out, and depressed, and what we can do about it.

Dr. Berzin is the Founder and CEO of Parsley Health, America's leading holistic medical practice designed to help women overcome chronic conditions. She founded Parsley to address the rising tide of chronic disease in America through personalized holistic medicine that puts food, lifestyle, and proactive diagnostic testing on the prescription pad next to medications. Parsley is available online nationwide.

In this episode, we dive into:

-The top three things that are zapping our energy (6:50)

-What is a “state change” and how can someone establish a new normal for how they feel on a daily basis (12:01)

-Dr. Berzin’s first state change, and how it led to a major shift that ultimately changed her life (17:03)

-The most common drivers of anxiety (28:18)

-The core actions that have the biggest effect on our mood (32:33)

-Common beliefs about sleep that are not true (39:58)

-How Dr. Berzin supports her physical, emotional, and mental health (45:18)

For years, many have believed that cancer is primarily genetic or just bad luck, but emerging research suggests we have far more control over our risk than previously thought. Dr. Thomas Seyfried's groundbreaking work reframes cancer as a metabolic dysfunction, focusing on its root cause rather than just treating symptoms. While controversial, this approach offers new hope for both practitioners and patients seeking alternative strategies for prevention and treatment.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with Dr. Thomas Seyfried and experts from the Hippocrates Research Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to continuing Dr. Seyfried’s work by educating cancer patients on metabolic-based treatment approaches.

Dr. Seyfried explores the role of oxidative stress, mitochondrial health, and glucose in cancer development and progression, along with his research on ketogenic diets as a promising solution to correct these imbalances. Den Stacey shares his journey of seeking guidance from the Hippocrates Research Foundation—ultimately becoming cancer-free. The Hippocrates Research Foundation team—Daniel Orrego, Dr. Gregory Howard, and Dr. Michelle Howard—discuss their research and their approach to guiding cancer patients by implementing a protocol designed to starve cancer while fueling the body.

Dr. Thomas Seyfried is an American professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry at Boston College. With over 150 peer-reviewed publications, his research focuses on the mechanisms driving cancer, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as the role of calorie-restricted ketogenic diets in their prevention and treatment. He is the author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer and serves on the editorial boards of Nutrition & Metabolism, Neurochemical Research, Journal of Lipid Research, and ASN Neuro.

In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into:

• The role of mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer (04:05)
• The promise of the ketogenic diet and its impact on cells (09:58)
• How the ketogenic diet cuts off cancer’s fuel sources (20:37)
• Den Stacey’s email about his experience with Dr. Seyfried’s protocol (26:54)
• The Press-Pulse protocol used in Den’s treatment (30:25)
• The role of stress reduction as a key part of the protocol (35:31)
• The benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (38:53)
• Why pharmaceutical drugs and diet should be used in concert (40:47)
• What an ideal cancer treatment team looks like (46:31)
• Testing and evaluating the protocol in real-world cases (56:39)
• Recognizing the success of the case study and the next steps (59:42)
• Final thoughts (01:02:01)

Conversations about death are often uncomfortable and avoided by many. However, open and honest discussions about death and mortality can help us live more intentionally and clarify what truly matters in our day-to-day lives.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with executive coach and author Jodi Wellman. Jodi shows us how embracing the idea of our mortality can help us fully live. She suggests implementing a "mortality math" exercise and practice to change your perspective on death and shares lessons learned from near-death experiences. Jodi also provides insightful questions to help you take inventory of your life and find your purpose.

Jodi Wellman is a former corporate executive turned executive coach and author. She has a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where she is an instructor in the Master’s program and a trainer in the world-renowned Penn Resilience Program.
