Key Scripture:** _"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, just as your soul prospers."_ — 3 John 1:2 (NKJV) ---Health is one of God's greatest gifts, and maintaining it is our responsibility. While pharmacies provide medications for healing, the best medicines are often found in the **natural choices we make daily**. God has already given us many tools for wellness, and when we embrace them, we experience vibrant health in body, mind, and spirit. ---### **God's Natural Medicines for a Healthy Life** 1️⃣ **Exercise strengthens the body.** (1 Corinthians 9:27) I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified 2️⃣ **Fasting renews the spirit and body.** (Isaiah 58:6) 3️⃣ **Natural food nourishes the body.** (Genesis 1:29) 4️⃣ **Laughter brings healing.** (Proverbs 17:22) 5️⃣ **Vegetables and fruits sustain health.** (Daniel 1:12-15) 6️⃣ **Sleep restores strength.** (Psalm 127:2) 7️⃣ **Sunlight energizes and uplifts.** (Ecclesiastes 11:7) 8️⃣ **Loving others brings joy.** (John 13:34) 9️⃣ **Loving yourself strengthens the soul.** (Mark 12:31)
During extreme stress, the body releases counter-regulatory hormones like adrenaline, growth hormone, and cortisol, which raise blood sugar levels. While insulin lowers sugar, these hormones can counteract its effects. For instance, a person experiencing a heart attack may initially see a drop-in blood sugar, but it later stabilizes. Some may need insulin temporarily before managing diabetes through diet alone. Before fasting, it is crucial to consult a doctor, just as one would before surgery. Certain diabetes medications, especially insulin and sulfonylurea tablets, increase the risk of hypoglycemia, particularly during prolonged fasting of 12–14 hours. Low blood sugar can be severe, requiring careful monitoring. However, advancements in diabetes treatment have introduced newer medications that reduce this risk, allowing safer fasting for diabetics. Proper medical guidance ensures balanced blood sugar levels, minimizing complications. Dr. Kavita Gupta highlights the vital role of women as the foundation of a family. She stresses the importance of proper nutrition from adolescence, as many young girls today follow unhealthy diets influenced by social media. A balanced diet with dal, rice, and vegetables is essential for growth, development, and future maternal health. She also emphasizes mindful eating during fasting. For Sehri, she recommends nutritious foods like milk or porridge, while Iftar should start with dates and plenty of water. She advises against fried and oily foods, encouraging fresh vegetables and wholesome meals for overall well-being.

In this episode of the Homeopathy 247 podcast, host Mary Greensmith welcomes back homeopath and author Lisa Robbins. Lisa introduces her newly published novel, Widdershins, and shares her journey through homeopathy, grief, and the power of healing through storytelling. What Is “Widdershins”? “Widdershins” means moving counterclockwise—a symbolic gesture of going against the norm. Lisa's novel follows Robin McFarland, a widowed schoolteacher in Edinburgh, whose life turns upside down after the sudden loss of his wife. Struggling to raise three children while battling emotional and physical collapse, Robin finds little relief in conventional medicine. Eventually, he seeks out alternative therapies—opening the door to transformation. Why Lisa Wrote the Book Lisa's inspiration for Widdershins stemmed from her own experiences with grief and frustration with conventional medical treatments for her children's frequent infections. She began exploring homeopathy after noticing the side effects of antibiotics and eventually trained as a homeopath herself. The novel is deeply personal, shaped by Lisa's own grief and the healing she found in alternative approaches. She hopes the story will resonate with readers and help normalize seeking different paths to health. Grief, Healing, and Homeopathy Lisa discusses how grief is often misunderstood and under-supported in conventional medicine. She describes it as an overwhelming, all-consuming emotion that impacts everything—from confidence to physical health. She emphasizes that healing doesn't come from reading a manual—it comes through experiencing art, music, and emotional connection. In the novel, Robin's healing process is subtle. He doesn't realize at first that things are changing, but through alternative care and a quirky but wise nanny (who acts like a homeopathic remedy herself), he and his children begin to find balance. Changing Perceptions Through Story Mary and Lisa highlight how fiction can gently shift people's perceptions about health and healing. Novels can reach people who may never have considered homeopathy or holistic therapies. Just as Mary herself discovered homeopathy through a series of novels, Lisa hopes her book opens minds to the idea that “there is another way.” Homeopathy, Lifestyle, and Wider Influence Lisa shares how once she embraced homeopathy, it had a ripple effect on her life. She took up yoga, meditation, and even sound healing. The mindset shift of thinking “Widdershins”—going a different way—brought more joy, creativity, and deeper connection to her world. Widdershins is available worldwide through Amazon, receiving glowing five-star reviews. Lisa is currently working on new novels, each aiming to inspire readers to rethink their understanding of life, healing, and health.

In this power-packed episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dr. DDnard—author, founder of the Zoul App, and a global thought leader blending spiritual wisdom and mental health tech. Together, they explore how emotional challenges, financial hardships, and relationship struggles can serve as powerful portals for transformation—if we learn to view them as blessings in disguise. Dr. DDnard offers a three-step method to shift frequency and manifest abundance: smile, say thank you, and lead with love. About the Guest:Dr. DDnard is a renowned spiritual teacher and entrepreneur best known for founding the Zoul Mental Health & Sleep App. Her work bridges Eastern wisdom and modern neuroscience, guiding high performers and everyday seekers through emotional resilience, energy alignment, and soul-centered living. She's collaborated with global changemakers and uses her personal story of overcoming debt and emotional pain to inspire radical growth and self-mastery. Key Takeaways: Emotional pain is not a punishment—it's a gateway to deeper compassion and strength. Financial or personal setbacks are often “entrance fees” for a new phase of abundance. You control your life's “thermostat” by managing your internal frequency. Growth begins when you choose compassion over conflict—even in tough moments. True transformation starts with small acts: smiling, gratitude, and love.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Sarah Erdner, PhD, CMPC, to spotlight a topic often overlooked in the world of sports—coach mental health. Dr. Erdner, author of Dear Coach: What I Wish I Could Have Told You, unpacks the emotional burden coaches silently carry and how athlete well-being is often a reflection of coach well-being. Through intimate stories, powerful insights, and tangible steps, this episode challenges the sports world to reframe leadership, rethink "culture," and offer care to those expected to always lead. About the Guest:Dr. Sarah Erdner is a Clinical Associate Professor of Kinesiology, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, and author of Dear Coach. Her groundbreaking work began with research interviews and evolved into a nationwide dialogue about emotional labor, empathy, and systemic change in sports. She advocates for psychological safety, multicultural awareness, and intrapersonal reflection among coaches. Key Takeaways: Coaches are often viewed solely as a means to winning, which fuels burnout and poor mental health. Emotional neglect of coaches trickles down to athlete well-being and performance. Writing "Dear Coach" letters—both as a reflection and feedback tool—can start essential cultural conversations. Authentic leadership begins with acknowledging one's cultural identity and emotional limits. To create truly high-performing teams, organizations must prioritize coach support systems at par with athlete mental health.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by George Kourakos, founder of AMG Media and a Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, to unpack what it takes to build a thriving startup in Europe's evolving market. George shares how he turned student-run events into a marketing powerhouse working with brands like HP and Lenovo—without any outside funding. The conversation spans key mindset shifts, strategic bootstrapping, the real reason big brands sponsor, and why AI will never replace human touch in high-performance businesses. A must-listen for founders, freelancers, and growth-driven professionals. About the Guest:George Kourakos is the founder and CEO of AMG Media, a full-scale marketing and event agency that began with grassroots student events and now partners with global corporations. Recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30, George has led major campaigns across Europe and mentors startups on sustainable growth, branding, and strategic planning. Key Takeaways: Bootstrapping works when you focus on high-value, human-first service. Pitching to sponsors is less about glam and more about timing, clarity, and trust. European startup growth is more structured and fund-accessible but requires a deep understanding of country-specific needs. AI is powerful, but without human insight, it can't deliver meaningful long-term growth. Staying grounded comes from constant learning, late nights, and a strong personal vision—not from external accolades.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik dives deep with John Taylor McEntire—founder of Mutual Prosperity and creator of The Sync Method—to explore how leaders can realign with purpose and culture to drive authentic success. From overcoming the "Curse of Babel" in team communication to centering leadership around intuitive presence, John shares wisdom from his multicultural journey and decades of coaching. Tune in to learn how syncing your inner compass can transform your leadership impact, especially in high-growth, culturally diverse environments. About the Guest:John Taylor McEntire is the founder of Mutual Prosperity and co-author with Jack Canfield. With a background spanning international leadership, cross-cultural development, and performance arts, John developed The Sync Method—a practical framework that helps leaders break through communication blocks and create resonant alignment in their teams. His approach is rooted in intuitive leadership, emotional intelligence, and the belief that every person is a vital piece of the global puzzle. Key Takeaways: Leadership is not about performing harder—it's about syncing deeper with self, team, and culture. John's Sync Method aligns personal intuition with organizational rhythm to restore clarity and cohesion. Miscommunication often stems from unaligned “languages” between departments—his Language Alignment Matrix addresses this. Scaling teams requires cultural intelligence and emotional fluency—not just technical expertise. Coaching and introspection are essential to overcome people-pleasing and perfectionist tendencies in leaders. Connect with John Taylor McEntire:Visit Mutual Prosperity for more details.

In this inspiring episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Keren Gonen—a powerhouse realtor who infuses her work with intention, empathy, and deep spiritual grounding. Keren shares her journey from the shipping industry to becoming Sussex County's top real estate agent, revealing how motherhood, loss, and unwavering self-belief shaped her path. She discusses the importance of setting goals that scare you, leading with service over self, and how a morning ritual of gratitude and energy protection keeps her centered in a high-stakes industry. Whether you're navigating a career pivot or striving for soulful success, Keren's story is a refreshing reminder that you don't have to sacrifice your integrity or spiritual truth to thrive. About the Guest:Keren Gonen is a leading real estate broker in New Jersey, closing $24M+ in sales last year.

From escaping the grind of corporate London to designing a freedom-first lifestyle, Michelle shares how remote roles can radically transform our mental health, relationships, and definition of success. This conversation is a wake-up call for anyone stuck in the 9-5 burnout loop, offering real-world advice to start designing a work life aligned with personal values—not outdated policies. About the Guest:Michelle Coulson is the founder and CEO of Remote Rebellion, a career platform helping professionals find remote work that prioritizes well-being, flexibility, and freedom. After a successful but unfulfilling career in recruitment across London, Singapore, and Australia, Michelle chose to rewrite her story—trading office cubicles for coastlines and launching a mission-driven business. Today, she helps others escape burnout and reclaim their lives through remote-first careers. Key Takeaways: Burnout isn't always loud—it often shows up as quiet dissatisfaction and misalignment. Remote work isn't a luxury—it can be a lifeline for mental health and presence at home. True wellness at work comes from value alignment, autonomy, and intentional design. Not all “remote” roles are equal—learn how to identify truly flexible jobs. The first step to remote work doesn't require quitting—it starts with curiosity and skills audit.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we explore a radical shift in wealth thinking with Randolph Love III—founder of Shieldwolf Strongholds and host of the Entrepreneur Nudist podcast. Randolph breaks down the concept of the “Infinite Conceptual Bank,” challenging conventional financial systems and introducing listeners to tools for building personal wealth vehicles that are liquid, safe, and tax-favored. Through real-world examples, he connects financial literacy with mental wellness and outlines a new path for abundance rooted in mindset, vision, and strategy. About the Guest:Randolph Love III is a Chartered Financial Consultant, Certified IUL Master, and President of Shieldwolf Strongholds, a leading wealth protection firm. His podcast, Entrepreneur Nudist, ranks in the top 10% globally. He specializes in wealth-building strategies using life insurance vehicles structured for living benefits, helping business owners and families create lasting financial legacies. Key Takeaways: The “Infinite Conceptual Bank” is about turning your mindset into capital—an internal economy that compounds over time. Wealth is subjective: success depends on your lifestyle and how long it can be sustained without work. Safety, liquidity, and tax advantage are more important than high returns alone. Mindset is everything—scarcity thinking can collapse wealth even before market shifts do. Life insurance, when structured correctly, can offer living benefits that protect and grow wealth over generations.

In this heartfelt episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with relationship coach Jack Bohanan to explore the deep emotional roots of attachment patterns and how we can begin to heal. Jack shares how losing a 20-year relationship became a wake-up call that led him to transform his own avoidant tendencies. Together, they unpack how childhood experiences shape adult connection styles, why intellectual awareness alone doesn't break patterns, and how somatic safety is the true gateway to secure relationships. Listeners will learn what healthy attachment feels like—calm, simple, safe—and how to rewire from survival to connection. About the Guest:Jack Bohanan is a certified relationship coach and somatica practitioner known for helping people rewire unhealthy relational dynamics. After navigating the loss of a long-term relationship due to insecure attachment, Jack dove deep into healing—both personally and professionally. He now uses somatic roleplay, embodiment work, and his signature Ideal Partner Figure (IPF) method to guide clients, including therapists, into healthier connections. Jack's mission is simple: help people experience what real love feels like in their nervous system, not just in their head. Key Takeaways: Awareness is only the beginning; somatic safety is what actually shifts attachment wounds. Secure attachment feels peaceful, not intense—comfort in connection and in solitude. Many of us confuse familiarity with love, even when it's toxic. You don't need to “fix” yourself—being kinder to your nervous system is a powerful first step. Healing happens in real-time experiences, not just in therapy sessions or journaling.

In this empowering episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik welcomes Bernice McDonald, coach, speaker, and author of Brave Enough to Be Myself. Together, they explore the often-unspoken fears that hold us back from becoming who we truly are. Bernice shares insights from her transformative book, highlighting the concept of taking “tiny brave steps” and the power of befriending fear. She introduces listeners to the "hot air balloon" perspective—a way to rise above life's struggles and see the bigger picture—and the idea of embracing our "strange jewels," the unique gifts we often hide. This soulful conversation is a gentle yet powerful reminder that courage is about showing up every day, one small step at a time. About the Guest:Bernice McDonald is a transformational coach, speaker, and author passionate about helping women in the second half of life rediscover their courage and self-worth.

Her book Brave Enough to Be Myself is the first in her Little Books of Courage series, offering a four-week journey from self-doubt to self-acceptance. Key Takeaways: Courage is built on small, consistent actions, not grand gestures. Fear can be befriended, not battled—Bernice calls hers “Fred.” The “hot air balloon” perspective helps you rise above immediate struggles and view your life journey with clarity. “Strange jewels” are the unique traits we hide but can become our greatest strengths. Self-compassion is essential in balancing bravery without adding pressure to “fix” yourself.

Together, they dive deep into why the future of leadership isn't found in data dashboards or KPIs—but in consciousness. Charley explores how expanding awareness can transform decision-making, leadership, and company culture, especially in a world racing toward AI integration. If you're a CEO, founder, or curious soul wondering how to future-proof your leadership, this episode is a must-listen.

In this deeply moving episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty welcomes Chaplain Felice—Christian marriage coach and powerful communicator—to uncover why so many of us feel unheard, even when we're speaking. Drawing from his own story of devastating early loss, Felice explains how trauma fueled his lifelong obsession with communication. He breaks down the 20 hidden barriers that silently sabotage our relationships, especially pride, selfishness, and silence. From marriage to leadership, Felice shows us that poor communication is often a reflection of poor character—and that healing starts with humility, curiosity, and accountability.

After losing his entire immediate family by age 13, Felice turned his pain into purpose, dedicating his life to understanding how we connect—and why we often fail. Through his course on “20 Communication Barriers,” he helps couples, teams, and individuals build deeper, more honest relationships.

In this thought-provoking episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Alexandra Mell-Taylor, a trans, nonbinary writer and fierce cultural commentator, to explore the intersection of identity, pop culture, and mental wellness. Alexandra shares how community—online and offline—can be both healing and harmful, depending on how we show up. From their work in DC activist circles to creating speculative fiction spaces, Alexandra unpacks how storytelling, media, and digital spaces affect marginalized identities and mental health. Tune in for a raw conversation on resilience, representation, and reclaiming community power. About the Guest:Alexandra Mell-Taylor is a trans, nonbinary writer known for their cultural commentary and speculative fiction. They are the founder of After the Storm, a futurist magazine curating global voices. With a personal blog that has garnered hundreds of thousands of readers, Alexandra dives deep into pop culture and politics, always with an intersectional lens. Their work examines how systems shape identity and well-being—especially for queer communities. Key Takeaways: Identity can be both healing and heavy—especially when it's shaped by others. Community isn't just a backdrop; it's a vital part of mental health. Digital spaces can offer care, but in-person support often runs deeper. Pop culture has power—it can perpetuate harm or create representation. Fiction, especially fan fiction, can be a tool of mental resilience and identity empowerment. Communities must be actively nurtured—they don't survive on autopilot.

In this transformational episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Dr. Albert Bramante—Ph.D. in Psychology, certified Hypnotist and NLP Practitioner, and a seasoned talent agent. Together, they explore how to rewire the mindset, embrace the power of positive psychology, and bounce back from setbacks. Dr. Bramante opens up about his rare journey combining psychology and the entertainment world and shares practical tools to overcome self-sabotage, imposter syndrome, and fear of success. If you've ever held yourself back, this episode is your cue to step into a new script. About the Guest:Dr. Albert Bramante is a talent agent with over 20 years in the entertainment industry. With a Ph.D. in Psychology and certifications in hypnosis and NLP, he helps creatives and professionals break free from mental roadblocks. His work focuses on helping people rise above fear, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs to reach their full potential. Key Takeaways: Self-sabotage is often rooted in disguised fear—fear of success, failure, or change. Even high achievers fall into negative patterns without realizing it. Awareness is the first step—track behavioral patterns and question your logic. Rejection isn't personal; it's redirection. Build a "happy file" to reinforce your wins and rewire self-belief. Success is safe when you stay connected to your “why.” Positivity should be grounded in humility and a willingness to keep learning.

In this transformative episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty welcomes seasoned physical therapist Dave Jeter, founder of Acceleration Physical Therapy, to challenge the conventional approach to treating musculoskeletal pain. Rather than jumping straight to surgeries or quick fixes, Dave advocates for starting with movement-based healing—retraining the body to function as a whole, not in isolation. Drawing from 23+ years of experience, Dave breaks down how PT addresses the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms. From chronic back issues to pre-surgical support, Dave shares why physical therapy should be the first line of defense, and how understanding the kinetic chain is crucial to lasting recovery. Through powerful stories and simple metaphors, he illustrates how PT can help patients not just heal—but thrive. About the Guest:Dave Jeter is a licensed physical therapist and founder of Acceleration Physical Therapy in Spokane, WA. With over two decades of experience, Dave specializes in biomechanical dysfunctions, manual therapy, and restoring functional movement patterns. His mission is to empower patients with knowledge and movement so they can reclaim their active lives without unnecessary procedures. Key Takeaways: Physical therapy treats the cause, not just the symptoms, by addressing the full kinetic chain. Quick fixes like injections or surgery can mask the problem—PT helps prevent them altogether. Chronic pain can be retrained by rewiring how the brain perceives movement. Proactive PT can reduce surgeries and healthcare costs dramatically. Everyone—especially older adults—can benefit from regular movement assessments to prevent future injuries.
