Could angels, spirit guides and extraterrestrial intelligence be connected?
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, Anshu Bahanda speaks with numerologist and spiritual intuitive Ginni Aneja about aliens, angels, channelling, astral realms and the Law of One.
Ginni explains her belief that consciousness extends beyond the physical body and that different beings may exist across multiple dimensions. She shares personal experiences of sensing spiritual presences, receiving intuitive messages and interacting with what she calls “lower-dimensional” and “higher-dimensional” beings.
They also discuss how meditation may affect spiritual awareness, why similar encounters are described across different cultures, and whether angels and extraterrestrials could be understood through the same wider framework of consciousness.
This episode explores spirituality, extraterrestrial life, intuition and the possibility that reality extends beyond what humans can currently perceive or explain.
Note: During the conversation, Ginni Aneja refers to the work of Dr Steven Greer, David Icke and Billy Carson. These names are included for reference so listeners can explore the people and ideas discussed in the episode.

Dr Chérine Bazzane spent years training as a family physician and teaching medicine. Then cancer entered her own family, and the system she understood professionally became something far harder to navigate as a daughter.
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, Anshu Bahanda speaks with Dr Chérine about integrated cancer care and the gap many patients and families experience between medical treatment and everyday coping. They explore why a diagnosis can unsettle even those who know the language of medicine, and how stress, exhaustion and uncertainty can shape the way people move through treatment.
The conversation also looks at the role of sleep, nutrition, emotional resilience and nervous system awareness in supporting patients alongside conventional care.

Caring for ageing parents can bring a kind of love few people feel prepared for. Alongside tenderness, there can be guilt, worry, impatience and the constant question of whether you are doing enough.
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, Anshu Bahanda is joined by psychologist and systemic relationship coach Darya Haitoglou to explore what happens when the parent-child relationship begins to change. They discuss the emotional weight adult children often carry, why caregiving can become self-erasure, and how grief can appear as irritation, resentment or exhaustion.
Together, they look at how to speak to ageing parents with respect, how to approach difficult conversations before a crisis, and why distance does not mean absence of love.

In today’s podcast, Benita Sharma takes us inside a story that began with symptoms treated as TB, before revealing something far more serious and rare. Then came the warnings, the timelines and the choices. One doctor spoke of 20 days. Others pointed to surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. Yet the answers still did not feel clear.
In conversation with Anshu Bahanda, Benita looks back at the moment she stepped away from the expected path of healing cancer, and the role family, nutrition, faith, discipline and self-trust played when fear could have taken over.
Important to note: this episode is not medical advice, and it should not be treated as a prescription. It is one person’s lived experience, not a substitute for professional medical guidance.
🎧 Tune in to explore one woman’s path through cancer, the questions diagnosis can raise, and the medical, emotional and personal choices that shaped her journey.

Breast cancer is now the most common cancer affecting people worldwide, with 2.3 million new cases and around 700,000 deaths each year. In India, someone is diagnosed every four minutes, and someone loses her life to breast cancer every eight minutes.
But behind these numbers is a question every woman and every family needs to ask: how do we understand breast cancer without fear taking over?
To make sense of all this, in this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, I’m joined by Dr P. Raghu Ram, OBE, Founder Director of KIMS-Ushalakshmi Centre for Breast Diseases and one of India’s most respected breast cancer surgeons. Dr Raghu Ram has spent decades advancing breast cancer awareness, early detection and specialist care in India.
Together, we talk about lumps, breast pain, nipple discharge, screening after 40, family history, BRCA testing, HRT and the major advances in treatment.
🎧 Tune in to explore what every woman needs to know about breast awareness, early detection and the medical guidance that can help save lives.

Modern life asks a lot of us. It asks for speed, resilience and constant output. But what if real strength has less to do with pushing harder and more to do with how we hold ourselves under pressure?
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, I’m joined by Yiquan practitioner, trauma specialist and strategist Andrew Markell. He is co-founder of Heresy and The Dawn Collective, where his work focuses on next level sense-making, high performance and trauma healing. Together, we explore how Yiquan can help us find calm, clarity and real power in a chaotic world.
His perspective feels especially relevant today, not only because it speaks to the pressures so many of us are living with, but because he works with high-performing individuals to help them stay clear, steady and effective under intense pressure.

Many people today feel tired even when they believe they are resting enough. Sleep happens, schedules slow down, yet the body still feels tense or unsettled. What if the issue is not simply about rest, but about how the nervous system is responding to stress?
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, I’m joined by HRV expert Salim Najjar to explore Heart Rate Variability and what it reveals about stress, burnout and recovery.
We discuss why the body can remain in overdrive even when the mind feels calm, how HRV acts as a signal from the nervous system, and how simple practices like breathwork, pauses during the day and emotional awareness can support recovery.
🎧 Tune in to understand how HRV can help you read the body’s signals and restore balance in a world that rarely switches off.

2026 is already being framed as the Year of the Fire Horse, a year of speed, action and powerful shifts. But what does that really mean beyond the social media buzz?
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, I’m joined by Feng Shui Master and Chinese astrology practitioner Master Edgar Lok Tin Yung and Feng Shui Master and a leading voice in Chinese astrology Priya Khanna to explore the deeper meaning of the Fire Horse year. We discuss what this energy may bring in terms of movement, leadership, health, emotional intensity and financial decision-making, and why it may feel energising for some and overwhelming for others.
If this is a year of momentum, how do we move with it without burning out, rushing blindly or losing our centre?

Burnout and anxiety are no longer dramatic events. They have become a steady undercurrent. The question is not simply how to slow down, but how to regulate the system that has been living in overdrive.
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, I’m joined by heartfulness therapist and founder of Cora, Leyla Salvadé, to explore the relationship between the head brain and the heart brain. We discuss emerging research on the heart’s neural network, how it sends signals to the brain, and why coherence between the two may be essential for emotional regulation and resilience.
If we are constantly operating from the head alone, driven by logic, memory and pressure, what happens to intuition, emotional processing and nervous system balance? And what shifts when awareness moves back into the heart?
🎧 Tune in to understand how heart-brain coherence may help restore clarity, energy and steadiness in a world that never truly switches off.

The noise of modern life doesn’t just live around us, it lives inside us. Constant notifications, endless conversations, and the pressure to always stay switched on have quietly reshaped how we think, feel, and relate to ourselves.
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, I’m joined by Norwegian explorer and author Erling Kagge, one of the very few people to have reached the North Pole, the South Pole, and the summit of Mount Everest on foot.
Through thoughtful reflection, lived experience, and gentle wisdom, this episode explores how silence can help us reconnect with ourselves, ease mental overload, deepen relationships, and live with greater intention in an increasingly noisy world.
🎧 Tune in to explore how stillness supports resilience, why silence can feel uncomfortable yet essential, and how small moments of quiet can transform the way we live, think, and connect.

When the nervous system stays overloaded, it doesn’t just affect how we feel, it shapes how we think, sleep, and move through life. Many people feel wired and tired at the same time, unsure why rest alone no longer helps.

The parent–child relationship doesn’t end when children grow up, it changes and that transformation can feel emotional, confusing, and deeply personal. Many parents struggle to let go without losing connection, while adult children want independence without drifting away.
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, I’m joined by Dr Darya Haitoglou, globally recognised psychologist and founder of Enrich Global, to explore how parent–child relationships can evolve with respect, trust, and emotional understanding. She touches upon Virginia Satir communication tools for conflict resolution, among other bonding insights.

Everyone seems to be trying to “fix their gut” these days, from probiotics and kombucha to food eliminations and supplement routines. Yet many people still feel bloated, tired, or low in energy even when they are eating well. The real question is not just what we eat, but whether our gut is actually able to digest, absorb and use the nutrients we give it.
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, I am joined by Ashley Koff, a registered dietitian, integrative nutritionist, author of the upcoming book, Your Best Shot: The Personalized System for Optimal Weight Health—GLP-1 Shot or Not and founder of The Better Nutrition Program. Together, we cut through the noise around gut health.
We explore how gut imbalances often show up beyond digestion, through skin, mood, energy, sleep, and hormones. We also talk about how learning to notice the body’s signals can lead to long term gut health.
To help you understand the tools mentioned in this conversation, here are some of the key assessments and tests discussed:
- Digestive Assessment Questionnaires: To identify issues with motility, digestion, absorption and elimination
- Bristol Stool Scale: To understand bowel patterns
- Stool Tests: Commonly used to look at gut function and balance
- Food Allergy and Food Intolerance Tests: To understand why they can be misleading when the gut is irritated
- Leaky Gut and Gut Irritation Testing
This episode is not about quick fixes or perfect diets. It is about understanding how your gut works so you can make more informed choices.

Everyone seems to be chasing the secret to living longer these days, from cold plunges and stem cells to full body scans and biohacking routines. But as I sat with the image of those two 75-year-old men, one walking, laughing and playing with his grandchildren, the other struggling to get out of bed, I realised longevity is about far more than simply adding years. It’s about whether those extra years are spent in hospital beds or in cafés with friends. The real question isn’t “How long can we live?” but “How well can we live for as long as we’re here?”
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, we are joined by Dr Darshan Shah, a surgeon, entrepreneur, longevity expert and founder of Next Health. Together, we explore what it really means to age gracefully, why healthspan matters more than lifespan, and how much of our future health is truly within our control. We talk about whether you can overcome a difficult genetic history, the difference between living longer and living better, and how modern tools such as blood biomarkers, wearables, CT angiograms and full body MRI allow us to detect disease years before it appears as a crisis.
To help you start your own data-led wellness journey, here are some of the core tests and metrics Dr Shah recommends for personalised health insights:
- Metabolic Health Tests: Blood sugar, insulin, HbA1c, full lipid profile, blood pressure, waist circumference, body fat percentage and visceral fat.
- Hormonal & Functional Health Tests: Key hormone markers, gut-health indicators, detoxification markers.
- Inflammation & Ageing Markers: Tests that measure systemic inflammation and biological ageing.
- Gut Health Tests: Microbiome analysis and food-sensitivity or leaky-gut testing.
- Wearable Metrics: Heart-rate variability, sleep tracking, smart-scale body composition and continuous glucose monitoring.
- Alziemer’s disease: Blood biomarkers test
This episode isn’t about chasing eternal youth; it’s about understanding your body more deeply so you can age with clarity, confidence and strength. You’ll walk away with a renewed sense of how everyday choices shape your energy, resilience and long-term health, along with simple tools you can start using now to feel better from the inside out.

Everyone’s chasing the secret to living longer, from supplements and genetic testing to cutting-edge longevity labs. But long before biohacking became a trend, Ayurveda had already mapped out a complete system for graceful aging, beginning with one simple truth: your gut is the gateway to your years.
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, we are joined by Dr. Sudhindra Uppoor, an Ayurveda doctor with a post graduate degree in Ayurveda Medicine, to explore how ancient wisdom and modern science intersect when it comes to gut health, vitality, and aging well. We dive into how a strong Agni (digestive fire) fuels energy, clarity, and immunity, and how toxins (Ama) formed by poor digestion silently accelerate aging. You’ll learn why gut balance determines not just how long you live but how alive you feel.
Dr. Uppoor also shares practical Ayurvedic tools you can start today to strengthen digestion, support hormonal balance, and extend your healthspan, from simple meal timings and daily rituals to herbs like Triphala and fenugreek that promote cellular rejuvenation. This episode also explores key Ayurvedic and lifestyle insights that can guide you toward better health. We discuss how balanced digestion, mindful eating, and living in sync with natural rhythms create the foundation for vitality and longevity. You’ll also hear how Ayurveda’s timeless wisdom connects to modern science on metabolism, inflammation, and the microbiome, offering a holistic, practical path to lifelong wellness.
This episode isn’t about chasing eternal youth; it’s about learning to live in rhythm with your body so you can age with grace, strength, and peace. You’ll walk away with a renewed understanding of how your gut shapes your energy, mood, and longevity, and simple tools to start feeling better from the inside out.

AI isn’t just transforming how we work; it’s quietly revolutionizing how we eat, move, sleep, and age. From smart devices that detect stress before you feel it to algorithms that predict illness years in advance, technology is giving us the tools to understand our bodies like never before. But beneath all the hype, what really matters is how we use that data to live better, not just longer.
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, we are joined by Dr. Marcus Ranney, longevity physician. Together, we dive into the new frontier where biology meets technology, exploring how AI is reshaping fitness, nutrition, and recovery to make wellness deeply personal and preventive. We talk about what true biohacking means, why small daily choices matter more than expensive gadgets, and how science is helping us extend not just our lifespan but our healthspan. Dr. Ranney explains how AI is becoming our health ally, decoding everything from sleep quality to metabolic patterns, and how even the simplest changes like improving sleep or reducing stress can biohack your body for better energy, focus, and longevity.
To help you start your own data-led wellness journey, here are some core tests and metrics he recommends for personalized health insights:
- Metabolic Health Tests: Fasting blood sugar, fasting insulin, HbA1c, and a full lipid profile (HDL, LDL, triglycerides).
- Micronutrient Panels: Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, and Albumin.
- Inflammation Markers: CRP and Cortisol to assess chronic stress and systemic inflammation.
- Gut Health Tests: Microbiome and saliva tests to measure bacterial diversity and gut balance.
- Wearable Metrics: Heart rate variability, sleep tracking, and continuous glucose monitoring for real-time feedback.
This episode isn’t about chasing perfection or becoming robotic; it’s about learning to use technology to understand yourself better. You’ll walk away with practical tools, a new perspective on wellness, and a glimpse of how AI can help you stay healthier, longer while keeping your humanity at the center of it all.

AI is already in your life — from your maps to your movies — but its quiet revolution is happening inside our bodies. Most of us think of health in terms of diet, exercise, or willpower, yet the truth is that our data often knows more than we do. When interpreted well, it can reveal metabolic blind spots, stress patterns, sleep disruptions, and food triggers we’d never catch on our own.
Most people think of AI as something technical, robotic, or detached — but in reality, it’s becoming one of the most personal tools in health. In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, we’re joined by Amandeep Khurana, an Entrepreneur, Product Leader and Health Enthusiast who used data to uncover what years of guesswork and even medical guidance had missed. Together, we explore how AI can connect the dots between sleep, food, stress, metabolism and recovery, and why the goal isn’t replacing doctors — it’s creating clarity. From glucose spikes at night to hidden reactions to food and unexplained fatigue, AI can surface patterns our minds simply don’t track, giving us a kinder, more personalised way to understand our bodies.
Health isn’t about collecting more data — it’s about translating it into small, doable shifts. Whether you’re just curious about AI or already using trackers and apps, this conversation shows how technology can simplify wellbeing instead of complicating it.
Here is a list of blood tests that are helpful:
- CBC
- CMP
- Lipid Panel
- Lipid Fractionation
- HgbA1C
- Homocysteine
- Magnesium
- Vitamin D
- Uric Acid
- Apolipoprotein B
- Lipoprotein (A)
- hs-CRP
- IGF-1, LC/MS
- DHEA Sulfate
- Estradiol
- FSH
- LH
- PSA Total
- Testosterone, Free and Total
- TSH

AI is not just changing what we search or watch, it is changing how we eat, move, sleep and recover. For years, health meant guessing through calorie counting, gym plans and trial and error diets. Now, our devices quietly track thousands of data points we barely notice, from heart rate and meals to sleep and metabolism, and AI is finally turning that into clarity we can use.
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, we are joined by Tushar Vashisht, Co founder and CEO of HealthifyMe, a platform used by over 40 million people. Together, we explore how AI is reshaping everyday wellbeing, from photo based food tracking and real time nudges to personalised workout planning and stress aware recommendations. This is not about replacing experts, it is about making precision easy and support available anytime. We also unpack what people get wrong about AI in health, why guidance must feel human to work, and how behaviour change sticks when technology and empathy work together. Whether you are a sceptic or already tracking your health, this conversation shows what the future of daily wellness actually looks like.
Most people think AI adds more noise, but the opposite is true when it’s done well. It cuts friction, reduces decision fatigue and simply tells you what to do next — not everything at once. From eating smarter without restriction to syncing movement and recovery, the shift is already underway. If you’re curious how this could play out in your own routine, this episode is where you start.

Weight loss is often described as a numbers game — calories in, calories out, strict diets, and tough workout routines. While these methods can bring short-term results, they don’t always address the bigger picture. Lasting, sustainable weight loss has more to do with mindset, emotional eating, stress management, and the mind-body connection than with any single diet trend. Until we focus on identity, daily habits, and self-compassion, the cycle of losing and regaining weight is likely to continue.
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, we’re joined by Sunaina Rekhi, globally recognised yoga therapist, somatic healer, and the first Indian woman to represent yoga at the United Nations. Together, we explore why discipline alone isn’t enough, how stress and emotions shape our health, and the role of nervous system regulation and self-compassion in creating lasting change.
Finding a healthy approach to weight loss can feel overwhelming, with so much advice pulling us in different directions. This episode offers a fresh perspective on weight loss — shifting the focus from quick fixes to long-term balance. It’s about building self-compassion, creating sustainable habits, and strengthening the mind-body connection for lasting health.

Cold plunges, oxygen chambers, injections — which of these actually help with weight loss, and which are just hype?
In this episode of Wellness Algorithm, Anshu Bahanda is joined by two incredible voices:
- Dr. Sarge Takhar — Chief Medical Officer & Co-founder of PrimaryMD
- Amandeep Khurana — Entrepreneur, Product Leader & Health Enthusiast
Together, we unpack weight loss myths and truths. From GLP-1 injections like Ozempic and tirzepatide to cold plunges, oxygen chambers, detox teas, supplements, and trendy diets, we explore what science supports, what’s just clever marketing, and what truly leads to sustainable results.
Weight loss isn’t about chasing every new trend — whether that’s an Ozempic injection, cold plunge, or oxygen chamber session. True results come from building sustainable habits: eating whole foods, moving regularly, protecting your sleep, and practicing self-compassion. GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and tirzepatide can be powerful tools, but without lifestyle changes, most people regain the weight.

Every week, a new diet makes the headlines — from Keto and Paleo to detox cleanses and AI-powered meal plans. While each promises quick results and a “perfect” approach to health, the truth is far more nuanced. Many of these trends gain popularity because they’re flashy or endorsed by celebrities, not because they’re backed by long-term science. They can leave people feeling frustrated, confused, or even deprived, making sustainable healthy habits harder to maintain.
In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, we are joined by Vidhi Chawla, leading dietitian and functional nutrition expert. Together, we dive into what really works for the body and mind, separating temporary fads from evidence-based strategies that support lasting health and weight management.
With diets multiplying in 2025 and 2026, it’s easy to feel lost in the noise. This episode offers clarity with expert guidance and practical, sustainable strategies to help you choose an approach that lasts.

What if the anxiety you feel isn’t just stress—but a forgotten ancestral whisper? What if the animals, places, and dreams that call to you are not random, but signals guiding your journey toward inner peace?
In this deeply grounding episode, host Anshu Bahanda is joined by South African sanoma and Indigenous Knowledge Consultant Gogo Khanyakude (Tiisetso Ntuthuko Makhubedu) to explore how reconnecting with animal totems, ancestral guides, and Earth wisdom can lead to profound peace and belonging.
Gogo brings us into their personal story: from the gospel music of early childhood to visions once mistaken for mental illness; from a spiritual “dark night” in Cape Town to initiation in ancestral healing. They share how ancestral identity, animal spirit guides like lions and goats, and even a long-unsprouting Marula tree were all signposts on the path home to their soul.
Together, Anshu and Gogo explore:
● Totems vs. Spirit Animals — ancestral lineage markers vs. divine archetypes walking with you
● Signs from the invisible—when ancestors speak through birds, landforms, and instinct
● How animal guides can catalyze healing, transformation, and purpose
● The framework of People, Spirit, Space as a pathway back to inner peace
● Why reconnecting with indigenous traditions is a healing act of decolonization
“Inner peace isn’t a thought—it’s a reconnection.”
This episode invites you to answer the call you may have been feeling—toward an animal, a memory, a direction—toward belonging.

You might think burnout, anxiety, or insomnia stem from stress, emotion, or mindset—but what if the real cause lives in your cells? What if what you’re feeling isn’t emotional at all… but biochemical?
In this illuminating episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda is joined by Dr. Marian Alonzo, Medical Director at The Farm, a world-renowned wellness resort in the Philippines. Together, they explore mineral therapy, an ancient-meets-modern approach that addresses physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances at their root.
Dr. Alonzo, trained in behavioral biochemistry, shares how unrecognized deficiencies in minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron might be fueling your panic attacks, restlessness, or brain fog—and how healing might be as simple as listening to your body and feeding it the right fuel.
They discuss why most wellness efforts fail without foundational nourishment, how mineral testing is often overlooked in Western medicine, and why even the best supplements sometimes don’t work.
Have you ever felt “off” but couldn’t explain why? Or tried every mindset tool but still felt exhausted? Or wondered why your body doesn’t respond to vitamins?
Watch now to discover how peace might not be a state of mind—but a state of minerals.

You might think of love as a fleeting feeling, reserved for family, friends, or romance, but what if love was just the starting point? What if true transformation came not from emotion, but from practice?
In this heartwarming episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda is joined by Venerable Bhante Sujatha, a Buddhist monk and the founder of the Blue Lotus Temple in the U.S., to explore loving kindness not as a mood or virtue, but as a daily discipline that reshapes how we relate to others, to pain, and to ourselves.
Together, they unpack what it means to turn love into a lifestyle, and how practicing loving kindness can rewire your reactions, shift your inner dialogue, and soften even your toughest relationships, including the one you have with yourself. Through real-life stories, gentle wisdom, and unexpected truths (like why competition and kindness cannot co-exist), Bhante shows us how love becomes stronger, deeper, and freer when it is trained like a muscle.
Have you ever struggled to forgive someone? Or found it easier to be kind to others than to yourself? Or wondered if kindness makes you weak?
🎧 Watch now to learn why loving kindness is not a luxury, but a necessity for emotional resilience, self-worth, and lasting peace.

You might hum when you’re nervous, chant when you’re seeking calm, or lose yourself in a piece of music — but what if sound could do more than soothe? What if it could physically shift your brainwaves, calm your nervous system, and even help you heal?
In this episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda speaks with Eileen Day McKusick, a pioneering voice in sound therapy and creator of Biofield Tuning, and Dr. Puja Myles, public health specialist and Monroe Institute trainer, about how intentional sound can become a tool for self-regulation, emotional clarity, and grounded presence.
Together, they explore how sound interacts with our body’s electromagnetic field, how frequencies can be mapped to different states of consciousness, and how simple practices like humming or vocal toning can release tension, reduce anxiety, and bring the body back into harmony. You’ll hear why ancient practices like chanting and modern tools like binaural beats aren’t just spiritual fluff — they’re rooted in neuroscience and backed by research.
If you’ve ever felt the urge to hum, sing, or just sit in silence — this conversation explains why.
🎧 Watch now to understand how sound, when used with purpose, becomes more than noise — it becomes healing.

You crave quiet, but even when the world goes silent, your thoughts keep racing. You stay busy, scroll endlessly, or distract yourself — anything to avoid being truly alone. But what if solitude wasn’t something to fear… but a powerful way to calm your nervous system and build emotional resilience?
In this episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda speaks with Robert Kull, who spent a full year in intentional solitude on a remote island, and Maggie Hamilton, social researcher and author, about the benefits of solitude — and how it differs from loneliness.
Together, they explore how solitude and mental health are deeply connected, how stillness and mindfulness can ease anxiety, and how small, accessible habits — like screen-free time or quiet walks in nature — can help you reconnect with yourself. You’ll hear why being alone doesn’t have to feel lonely, and how solitude can become a simple mental health practice that leads to real clarity.
If the idea of being still feels hard, maybe that’s exactly where the healing starts.
🎧 Watch now to discover how solitude can help you regulate your emotions, shift your mindset, and find peace — even in the noise of daily life.

You wake up anxious. Your mind races. The to-do list grows longer, and even when you sit to meditate, stillness feels impossible.
Sound familiar? You might not be meditating “wrong” — just not in the way your body truly needs.
In this episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda speaks with Yirser Ra Hotep — a master of Kemetic meditation, Tai Chi, and Qigong — as he reveals how ancient wisdom from Egypt, China, and India offers a very different take on what meditation really is.
Together, they explore how movement, breath, posture, and awareness are seamlessly integrated into daily life across these traditions — and how that can help soothe your nervous system, anchor your awareness, and bring you back to your body.
If sitting still doesn’t work for you, maybe it’s not your fault. Maybe it’s the method.

Join Anshu Bahanda as she sits with Master Gu, a Taoist practitioner from the Wudang Mountains, to uncover the enduring wisdom of the Tao Te Ching. Authored by the ancient philosopher Lao Tzu, this scripture teaches profound lessons on balance and flexibility, illustrated through the powerful metaphor of water overcoming stone. Lao Tzu himself, before penning this timeless work, was implored by a gatekeeper at the edge of the city to record his wisdom, leading to the creation of these 81 verses as he prepared to retreat into a life of solitude.
Master Gu shares how these teachings can help us manage the complexities of modern life, from personal stress to leadership challenges. Learn how the principle of 'effortless action' and the art of finding harmony amid chaos can enhance our daily lives. Whether dealing with relationship issues or seeking inner peace, the Tao Te Ching offers timeless guidance that transcends cultural and historical boundaries.

This creates space for reflection and rejuvenation with loved ones.
Moreover, Rabbi Berger explores the ethical framework the Torah provides for contemporary social and personal challenges. From the ethical treatment of strangers and the less fortunate to how these ancient precepts can guide our actions today, the discussion spans a broad spectrum of moral guidance.

What does it mean to live with truth, righteousness, and a sense of responsibility toward the world? The Avesta, the sacred text of Zoroastrianism, offers answers that are just as meaningful today as they were thousands of years ago. But how do these ancient teachings apply to modern life?
In this episode, Dr Ramiyar Karanjia—scholar, author, and Principal of the Dadar Athornan Institute—joins us to break down the deeper messages of the Avesta. He explains what “good thoughts, good words, good deeds” truly means beyond its well-known phrase, the role of fire as a bridge between the physical and the divine, and why Zoroastrianism places such importance on protecting nature.
We also get into the hidden world, the power of the mind in spiritual practice, and the system of preserving the Avesta through memory long before it was written down. What wisdom does this ancient text hold for those seeking clarity and balance today? And what simple practice from the Avesta can shift the way you think?

More than 1,400 years ago, a man sat in quiet reflection in a cave in Mecca. What he experienced changed the course of history. The words revealed to him became the Quran—a book that continues to shape lives, inspire reflection, and spark debate. But how does a text from so long ago remain relevant today?
In this episode, we speak with Dr Zafarul Islam Khan—scholar, journalist, and translator—who spent over a decade working on a new English translation of the Quran. He takes us through the deeper messages of the text, its themes, and the responsibility that comes with understanding it.
What does the Quran say about justice and accountability? How does it guide personal and societal choices? And why do so many people, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, continue to turn to it for answers?

What if the key to understanding life’s biggest questions had been passed down for centuries—but nearly disappeared along the way?
In this episode of Wellness Curated, host Anshu Bahanda sits down with Manish Modi, a custodian of Jain literature and the great-grandson of Pandit Nathuram Premji, a pioneer in Jain publishing and social reform. Manish continues this legacy through Hindi Granth Ratnakar Karyalay, a prestigious publishing house founded in 1912. His passion for preserving and sharing Jain teachings has led him to translate, publish, and lecture extensively on the subject.
But these texts weren’t simply written and preserved. They survived secrecy, memory lapses, and even opposition from within the Jain community itself. What happened when knowledge was entrusted to memory alone? Why were ancient manuscripts hidden away in Karnataka for centuries? And how did a group of determined scholars convince a wealthy patron to fund their revival instead of another temple?
Beyond their history, these scriptures hold profound lessons about how to live with purpose, balance, and clarity. Mahavir’s teachings weren’t just for his time—they speak to challenges we all face today. Join us as we uncover how these ancient insights continue to shape lives, offering wisdom that remains as relevant as ever.

In this insightful episode of Wellness Curated, host Anshu Bahanda expertly navigates the complex and often misunderstood world of astrology, drawing upon the expertise of Liz Norman and Dr. Sundeep Kochar to bridge the gap between Western and Vedic traditions. The episode reveals astrology as a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth.
Liz Norman, a highly respected Western astrologer, illuminates the tropical zodiac's connection to the natural rhythms of the earth. She unpacks how understanding planetary movements can provide invaluable clarity, offering a roadmap through life's inevitable challenges and uncertainties. It's not about passively accepting fate, but actively aligning oneself with cosmic cycles for greater self-awareness. This is where the unexpected comes in: Norman subtly suggests that even seemingly negative transits can be reframed as opportunities for profound internal shifts.
Dr Sundeep Kochar, a leading authority on Vedic astrology, introduces Jyotish – the "science of light" – focusing on the sun and moon's profound influence on our individual destinies. His perspective on the interplay of fate and free will is particularly compelling. He proposes a fascinating 70/30 model: 70% of our lives may be pre-ordained, yet we retain a crucial 30% agency to shape our paths. This empowering message encourages active participation in our own lives, rather than passive acceptance of destiny. Consider this: the seemingly fixed 70% might be less about predetermined events and more about inherent predispositions, talents, and challenges – areas where self-awareness becomes paramount.
The conversation seamlessly flows into practical applications, exploring the impact of moon cycles and planetary transits on our well-being. Intriguingly, the discussion expands beyond pure astrology to encompass complementary healing modalities, such as homoeopathy and Bach flower remedies, highlighting astrology's potential as a holistic guide to self-care. This unexpected connection underscores astrology's capacity to inform a more comprehensive approach to wellness.
Intrigued by the ancient wisdom of astrology and its practical applications in modern life? This episode provides an engaging and informative exploration, prompting listeners to reflect upon their own life journey through a truly cosmic lens. It’s a conversation that resonates long after the credits roll.

Welcome to another episode from our podcast season on 'Ancient Wisdom For Modern Living.' Each episode aims to provide practical insights and actionable advice, helping listeners incorporate ancient wisdom into their daily routines to achieve greater balance and wellness. This episode provides a comprehensive look at how Zen principles can offer valuable guidance for living a mindful, balanced, and fulfilling life.
In this episode, host Anshu Bahanda looks toward the ancient practice of Zen Buddhism with two esteemed guests: Professor Ruben L. F. Hábito, a Filipino Zen rōshi of the Sanbō Kyōdan lineage, and Shozan Jack Haubner, a Zen Buddhist priest known for his humorous takes on monastic life, having spent many years in a monastery. Hábito discusses the Zen koan (story) of the monk who carries a woman across the river. After helping her, he continues on his journey, but his fellow monk is troubled, later asking, “Why did you carry that woman?" The first monk replies, "I left her at the river. Are you still carrying her?” This story underscores the essence of Zen presence—letting go of the past to remain steadfastly in the now. Zen Buddhism is a Japanese school of Mahayana Buddhism that emphasises the value of meditation and intuition. Hábito also explains the core concepts of Zen, focusing on the practice of Zazen, a form of seated meditation, and offers practical advice on how to start practising Zazen.
Jack Haubner shares insights on integrating Zen practices into daily activities. He also discusses the role of humour in Zen practice and how it can be used to cope with life’s challenges. Haubner's anecdotes from monastic life provide a relatable and lighthearted perspective on applying Zen principles in everyday situations.

Welcome to the first episode of our new podcast season 'Ancient Wisdom For Modern Living'. Each episode aims to provide practical insights and actionable advice, helping listeners incorporate ancient wisdom into their daily routines to achieve greater balance and wellness. In the opening series of the season 'Lessons From Ancient Philosophies,' host Anshu Bahanda will look back on timeless teachings, and talk about adapting them to address current personal and global challenges. The series will feature guests who are experts on topics such as Taoism, Zen Buddhism and Sufism.
In this episode, Anshu Bahanda delves into the ancient philosophy of Taoism with Professor James Miller from Duke Kunshan University in China. Taoism is a philosophical and spiritual tradition that originated in ancient China all the way back in 500 BCE. Miller explains the core concepts of this ancient Chinese philosophy, focusing on Wu Wei (effortless action), which advocates for aligning with the natural flow of life rather than forcing one's will upon it. The discussion highlights how Taoism emphasises the importance of balance in all aspects of life, drawing parallels with other ancient philosophies such as Hinduism and Stoicism. He elaborates on the Taoist approach to conflict resolution, which involves deflecting aggression and seeking harmony rather than engaging in direct confrontation. He gives insights into how Taoism addresses ecological balance, underscoring the interconnectedness of human well-being and environmental health. This episode provides a comprehensive look at how Taoist principles can offer valuable guidance for living a balanced, harmonious life in this century.

Her candid recounting includes moments of self-consciousness, even at a Black Lives Matter event, illustrating the pervasive nature of these biases.
Rudrani Chhetri, a proud transgender activist, has, incredibly, transformed her pain into purpose. As the founder of BOLD, India's first LGBT modelling agency, and the managing director of Mitr Trust, Rudrani works tirelessly to create a more inclusive and fair environment for LGBTQIA+ individuals.
This episode explores how biases, whether based on skin colour, gender, sexual orientation, religion, community, body types, or anything else, can be challenged and changed through everyday actions. From mindful language use to supporting inclusive brands and fostering diversity in the workplace, every small step counts.
Join us as we explore why hate should never be a life's message, and how each of us can contribute to a world where everyone can live happily and fulfillingly, free from prejudice and discrimination.

In this episode, host Anshu Bahanda speaks with Jonathan Alderson, who has a background in psychology, serves as Chair of the Seneca College Behavioural Sciences Advisory Committee, and specialises in helping children with autism. Over the years, he’s worked with over 3,000 families across the world.

Importantly, Jonathan also offers coping strategies and methodologies that are used to help someone manage, even reduce, the degree to which they’re affected by social anxiety. For example, he talks about "exposure therapy" and the need to recognise the impact of the spotlight effect, which may make us feel people are scrutinising our every move, when in fact most people are focused on their own lives, not ours.

In an era that's minting teenage entrepreneurs with hefty bank accounts, instilling an early understanding of money's true purpose is more important than ever. This episode features the insights of Soha Gawaly, the managing director and co-founder of Strategic Investments Group and a trailblazer in the hedge fund industry.
Soha offers actionable tips and creative techniques for teaching children about financial literacy, from engaging in money games to encouraging artistic expressions like piggy bank painting. She also emphasises that money is a tool and should be treated as such—a means to achieve our ends, not the end itself.
We're reminded of the wisdom in ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ author Robert Kiyosaki's words: "It's not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for." This episode builds on that philosophy, aiming to equip our children with the mindset and habits for long-term financial wellness.
As part of our season on Financial Well-being, "Preparing Kids for Financial Success" is an essential listen for parents, educators, and even children of all ages. This isn't just a podcast episode—it's a vital resource that schools should showcase and families should experience together. Don't miss out on the chance to lay the foundation for your child's prosperous future.

Inhale Healing, Exhale Trauma: The Art of Breathwork
In this episode, host Anshu Bahanda speaks to R Christian Minson, a breathwork trainer and Life Coach, to unearth the profound relationship between breath and emotion, especially with the aim of healing from trauma. Christian illuminates the often-overlooked nuance of breathwork, elucidating how our breathing patterns can mirror, and more importantly, influence our emotional states. He delves into the body's innate reactions during panic or fear, characterised by swift, shallow breaths, and contrasts it with the serenity accompanying deep, rhythmic inhalations and exhalations. He talks about the transformative potential of controlled breathwork, illustrating how deliberate shifts in breathing can be the bridge from negative emotional whirlwinds to a haven of positivity and peace. Drawing a striking comparison to the myriad misconceptions about walking that lead to later-life physical ailments, Christian also challenges the listener's preconceptions about how breathing doesn’t need to be ‘taught’. Listen to this and you’ll leave equipped with practical breathwork techniques that promise a pathway to healing, balance, and emotional mastery.

In this episode, you’ll hear multiple award-winning nutritionist Sheeba Majmudar talk about how little people know about hydration, something that has a profound effect on the way we function. Sheeba talks about ‘activating’ water, which is really not as complicated as it sounds – how to do it and why this is required to facilitate the absorption of the water you consume into your cells. She fills us in on how much water individuals really need to consume and highlights surprising ways in which our bodies try to tell us that they’re dehydrated. She also cautions against relying on ‘thirst’ as the only indicator that your body needs water and explains why that’s a problematic approach.
Most importantly, Sheeba provides tips and strategies for measuring whether your body is adequately hydrated and ensuring that it gets the right kind of water all through the day. This episode is going to change the way you drink.
In this Episode:

In this episode of Wellness Curated, host Anshu Bahanda talks to GP, Dr Sepp Fegerl, of the world-famous Vivamayr clinic, about fasts.
Although the term is now synonymous with ‘intermittent fasting’, which, typically, requires abstaining from food for some 16 hours, the practice of fasting, in different forms, has been a tradition in many cultures. It has also been seen to result in many benefits including improvements in insulin sensitivity, increased fat burning, a reduction in inflammation, greater mental clarity and heightened energy levels. However, done wrong, fasting can lead to not only a drop in energy levels, headaches, and dizziness, but it may even trigger a stroke or cardiovascular issues.
Here, Dr Fegerl tells you how to do it right: he talks about what works and what doesn't and how often one should fast for maximum benefits. Importantly, he stresses on the need to ‘prepare for a fast’ and tells you how to do this, how to listen to one's body and adjust the fast to suit individual needs and goals, and what sort of exercise or activity will complement a fast.
This is a must-listen for anyone who fasts for any reason at all, and more so, for anyone who’s looking to incorporate fasting into their wellness routine.

Yoga instructor Lamya Arsiwala tells you how yoga can boost brain power, and about some simple asanas you need to perform to experience these benefits. There are many reasons why the practice of yoga helps boost brain power. Studies have shown that practicing yoga regularly causes brain cells to develop new connections. Changes occur in brain structure as well as function, and these result in improvements in cognitive skills, such as learning and memory. Yoga, thus, has benefits in the areas of memory, attention, awareness, thought, and language. MRI scans have been used to study people who did yoga regularly and compare their brains to those who did not; practitioners of yoga were seen to have a thicker cerebral cortex (which processes information) and hippocampus (which is involved in learning and memory) compared to those who did not practice yoga. Moreover, while these areas of the brain tend to shrink with advanced age, regular yoga practitioners experienced less shrinkage – suggesting that yoga may even stave off cognitive decline.

The art of calligraphy is not only therapeutic; it actually stimulates the brain and helps improve focus, memory and problem-solving skills. In China, the Tang dynasty (618-907) mandated that officials practice the art of calligraphy, and the art of lettering was one of six disciplines of higher education. Today, there is scientific evidence to show that lettering improves brain function, but long before devices could measure it, the Chinese had observed the positive impact of lettering on visual-spatial aptitude. In this episode, you'll hear Mumbai's most sought-after calligrapher, Sanjana Chatlani of The Bombay Lettering Company talk about how the art improved her tennis game, and how it helps boost cognitive function in general. She also outlines what it takes to practice calligraphy, how to assess if you're cut out for it, and where you can sign up for online classes so as to avail of the cognitive benefits now.
The Dancing Brain: Movements that sharpen your mind
Who doesn’t enjoy dancing. But did you know that the way you dance – the movements, the rhythm and the new steps you push yourself to try – can enhance brain power and creativity, and even help improve the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. In this episode, you’ll meet dance psychologist Dr Peter Lovatt, who has spent twenty years working in university research labs, where he’s been studying the impact of movement on human thinking and behaviour. Peter’s expertise is in experimental cognitive psychology and his work on memory, thinking, mood, language learning, problem solving, dance and Parkinson’s disease has been published in peer-reviewed academic journals. He’s also the author of two books – The Dance Cure: The surprising secret to being smarter, stronger, happier and Dance Psychology: the science of dance and dancers. And in this episode, he talks about how different movements and dance forms impact the brain, how long you need to dance to sharpen your mind, what research has shown about the impact of dance on the symptoms of Parkinson’s and how dance can improve attention spans and even your kids’ grades.
How often have you promised yourself that you’re going to prioritise your wellness – that you’re going to get fitter or take care of your skin – and then faltered? It’s easier said than done, because, often, the goals we set are too ambitious and the changes required to achieve them are too numerous. It can all be rather overwhelming. That’s why, in this episode of Wellness Curated – the last episode of my ‘Let’s Get Physical’ season – I asked five experts to share simple one-minute rituals that will leave you feeling healthier and happier. “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” said the Taoist philosopher Laozi, so begin by dedicating just one minute to yourself every day, and then I hope you'll step it up gradually until your well-being is no longer an afterthought.
Let's Get Physical: Not so long ago, only celebrities opted for aesthetic treatments. Botox, liposuction and dermal fillers were things that most regular people only read about in magazines with a mixture of awe and trepidation. Today, however, everyone is familiar with these procedures. It’s not uncommon for working professionals to stop by a clinic to get their Botox shots on their way to work; it’s become as ordinary as picking up a takeaway. The fact that technological developments have made these treatments more accessible is great – because issues like scars, acne and the physical after-effects of cancer treatments can sometimes destroy one’s self-esteem. But there is a downside to the fact that these treatments have become so commonplace, too. From the dangers of addiction and excessive use to the risks of having inexperienced people performing these procedures, Dr Barbara Dalbos from the incredible Sha Wellness Clinic in Spain, lays it all out in this episode.
Let's Get Physical:Shiamak Davar, the man who has helped numerous celebrities like Shahid Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan, Varun Dhawan, and Alia Bhatt find their footing, both literally and metaphorically, tells you about the ways in which he has seen dance make a difference to people’s lives. Shiamak pioneered a new wave of dance in Indian films with Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), which is come to be known as ‘Shiamak style’ in India. A powerful arrangement of movements that have come to be synonymous with Shiamak, the ‘Shiamak style’ changed the face of dance in Bollywood. Film director Vishal Bhardwaj has highlighted Shiamak’s unique indo-contemporary style in the new film, Fursat, starring Ishaan Khatter and Wamiqa Gabbi. Shiamak also runs Victory Arts Foundation, through which he extends the benefits of dance to all those who may not otherwise have been able to afford his expertise: people with economic challenges, or mental or physical disabilities. And in this episode, the incredible dance supremo tells you the many ways in which he’s seen dance heal. Listen! Get inspired! Get dancin’!
Let's Get Physical
Although few people in relationships take the trouble to lay down the boundaries, or clearly define their relationship agreements, most people would define an affair as an occasion when a partner broke such an agreement in what they felt was a committed partnership. That could be a physical affair, at times, but people can feel just as betrayed by partners who secretly correspond with another. Expectations vary from one relationship to another and even partners in a relationship can have different expectations. An affair is, therefore, really a case of breach of trust, in one way or the other.
It’s tough, but not impossible, to get back to a healthy relationship – if that’s what partners want to do. Whether you’re the one who strayed or the one who feels betrayed, in this episode, psychosexual and relational therapist Anvita Madan-Bahel, relationship reinvention specialist Aili Seghetti and psychotherapist Cassandra de la Thea tell you how to get through this rough patch.

It is not unusual to feel Anxious, Fearful, Overwhelmed or Uncertain. It is how we manage our responses that matter.
Anxiety is a physiological response to a threat and a symptom of inflammation. Threat (including our thoughts and emotions) fires up our immune system and cytokines. Neuroscience has shown us that our thoughts and emotions are processed by our brain in the same way as a physical threat.

Stress manifests physically and mentally. Most diseases - physical and mental - are caused by stress.
The wonderful Khun Jah teaches how to prevent stress from manifesting into physical issues or mental ailments.
Khun Jah is a certified emotion code practitioner who believes that the subconscious mind is like “automatic” Bio-Software that not only keeps us alive (like Heartbeat, breathing, digestion, etc) but also stores the memories and emotions of ALL our past experiences (good and bad). However, if we have too many bad experiences, our Bio-Software will be infected with a “virus” of bad memories and emotions, resulting in frequent unhappiness with life and feeling like a victim. This will manifest physically and mentally.
Let’s learn techniques and tools that prevent us from letting the stress affect us!

Jaynee Treon and Dr. R Pender PhD. from Wellness Lab bring to you a podcast on the benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen.
I have seen so many different therapies in my life yet when I come across one that blows me away - I love it! I tried out the hyperbaric oxygen chamber and I think I’m hooked! I plan to go back regularly.
According to the Mayo Clinic, In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, the air pressure is increased two to three times higher than normal air pressure. Under these conditions, your lungs can gather much more oxygen than would be possible breathing pure oxygen at normal air pressure. When your blood carries this extra oxygen throughout your body, this helps fight bacteria and stimulates the release of substances called growth factors and stem cells, which promote healing.

Bioresonance is a relatively new concept in health and wellness assessment and enhancement. I have been getting bioresonance done for 15 years now - never took it 100% seriously since I was a little bit skeptical about it. And then recently, someone I know, had extensive health tests done. After all the results came, they went to our gorgeous practitioner - Shakiba Rangoonwala, and tried out her bioresonance machine, and all the results that they had gotten through extensive testing and costs, were given by this bioresonance machine in less than 5 minutes and at a fraction of the cost - under the expert eye of Shakiba! I heard this from the client themselves.
Come and hear Shakiba and the Asyra machine weave their magic!
