As a podcaster, I love connecting with like-minded hosts such as Benoit Kim, given our shared interests in mental health, mindfulness / mediation, the cultural implications of the Asian-American “model minority” myth, and much more. My wife Shelly Sood and I appeared on his show - Discover More - in early 2023, shortly after the devastating loss of her father / my father-in-law. We found great comfort in this far-ranging discussion, touching on the following topics: How Albert Einstein's perspective that "everything is energy" can used to complement surgery, medication, talk therapy, and other traditional healthcare modalities to ensure optimal patient outcomes What we can learn from Alcoholics Anonymous or those trust fall exercises at corporate retreats about the power of surrender and turning over to a higher power How breathwork modalities such as SOMA Breath can help quiet the default mode network, maximize our health and productivity in business, and achieve what psychologist Abraham Maslow called self-transcendence The correlation (or lack thereof) between the prestige of someone's alma mater and their contributions to society The positive impact of building an impenetrable “bubble” of personal space to tap into one's intuition and connect with their higher self How the collectivist mindset of the South Asian diaspora can contribute to the propagation of unhealthy templates throughout the generations The incredible power of affirmations and the spoken word, which has been shown to change the shape of water molecules How someone's environment - i.e., their relationships, their surroundings, - can play a pivotal role a patient's recovery – almost as much as medication and surgery To learn more about Benoit, please visit discovermorepodcast.com, or search for Discover More on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In Episode 39, Julie speaks with married couple, Shelly Sood and Nikhil Torsekar. Shelly Sood is an author, speaker, mother of 3, wife, and entrepreneur. Her husband of 20 years, Nikhil, had suffered from undiagnosed bipolar disorder for two decades, leading to massive devastation emotionally, mentally, and financially. After helping to save his life and their marriage, Shelly launched a healthcare company (GIOSTAR* Chicago) and discovered the fulfillment gained from diminishing the pain of others. After becoming suicidal, and ultimately getting diagnosed at the age of 40, Nikhil Torsekar began a journey of introspection and healing, and is now a devoted husband, dedicated parent, and thriving professional. He runs The Untether Your Life Podcast, serves as Director of Marketing for GIOSTAR Chicago, and is a tireless mental health advocate. His journey of discovery and healing through higher states of consciousness led he and his wife Shelly to incorporate Mindvalley's personal growth platform into their own lives. Nikhil has a BA from Washington University, an MS from DePaul University, and an MBA from The University of Chicago. Together, they overcame these obstacles by untethering their lives through traditional and holistic approaches to healthcare, and unconditional love for one another.

Untether Your Life has taken a deep dive into mental health in the South Asian diaspora, inspired by the lived experiences of host Nikhil Torsekar and his wife Shelly Sood. One facet of this that merits further exploration is how it impacts South Asian males, a topic near and dear to Ankur Varma's heart. Along with serving as Program Director at Northeast Family Services of Illinois, Ankur launched a valuable Instagram-based resource called Brown Man Therapy which is “on a mission to engage more men and normalize conversations about mental health and South Asian cultures outside of work.” Nikhil touched on many topics with Ankur, including: Ankur's upbringing in the homogenous suburbs of Cincinnati, where he was brought up in the “Indian at home and American at school” ethos The transition of psychiatry from a consultative model to a more transactional, efficiency-based one over the years The manifestation of concepts in South Asian diaspora mental health, including the model minority myth (where South Asians are encouraged to “stay in their lane”) and patriarchy as reflected by tropes such as comic Russell Peters' angry Indian father (“Somebody gonna get hurt”) The pros (understanding) and cons (the “echo chamber”) of seeking therapists with a similar cultural background How the reticence of South Asian males in discussing mental health informed Ankur's launch of the Brown Man Therapy Instagram feed Ankur's views on breathwork, Ayurveda, meditation, and other South Asian practices discussed frequently on Untether Your Life The implication of "untethering your life" for his journey into therapy, social media, as well as for clients seeking help for depression, bipolar disorder, and other mental health issues You can connect with Ankur through his brownmantherapy page on Instagram, as well as on LinkedIn.

Spirituality is something that seems quite elusive in a hyper-notified, always-on world where we're glued to our screens, engaged in FOMO, doom-scrolling, or curating our Instagram feed to portray a perfect social and professional life. Justin S. Grant, however, has found a way to artfully blend these two worlds in his book Spirituality for Busy People (an abbreviation of his earlier work Business and Spirituality). In this episode, the Los Angeles, California-based author, entrepreneur, singer, and mentor speaks with Untether Your Life host Nikhil Torsekar about many topics, including: The distinctions between the views of psychology in eastern and western views, and how some consider Buddha (not Freud) to be the father of modern psychology The roots of FOMO, doom scrolling and other modern technology-driven behaviors, in our primal "reptilian brain-based" need for survival A deep dive into the concepts of transformational psychology, and Justin's lifelong passion for the wisdom traditions and Eastern and Western spirituality The destructive impact of poor diet (i.e., refined sugar) on physical and mental health Nikhil and wife Shelly Sood's work on advancing the mantra of "owning your own health" and embracing holistic treatment modalities beyond just surgery, medication, and cognitive behavioral therapy The evolution of Spirituality for Busy People into an highly impactful online platform with visualization meditation videos, worksheets, one-on-one Zoom calls and much more To learn more about Justin, please visit his Website or connect with him on Instagram at @spiritualityforbusypeople or @justinsgrant Connect with Nikhil to learn more about Untether Your Life and other projects: Instagram Website LinkedIn Twitter GIOSTAR Chicago

Shelly Sood One of the key themes of The Shelly Story is owning your own health. Although doctors, nurses, and medical professionals play an important role, we are the ones who are ultimately responsible for optimizing the health of our mind, body and soul. Helping to save her husband's life inspired Shelly to launch GIOSTAR Chicago - a leading stem cell therapy provider - which is how we met today's guest, Cain McQuinley. Cain is a prime example of the benefits of owning your health. He transformed his life by going against the one-size-fits-alfl treatment model prevalent in today's healthcare system. After suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a teenager, Cain McQuinley pushed through the subsequent struggles to take charge of his own health and decided to experiment with regenerative medicine. Combined with his time studying sports medicine and regenerative medicine in college, his own injury has helped him gain insight and knowledge to advocate for others in his roles at the nonprofit Veterans In Pain, and Regenerative Ops. Cain found success with stem cell therapy and ketamine infusion therapy, combined with positivity, perseverance, dogged stubbornness, and refusal to accept the status quo. Tune in to this episode to get inspired and learn more about cutting edge regenerative medicine! Topics discussed: Cain tells the story of his TBI and recovery time spent in the hospital How Cain’s TBI and drug-induced coma inspired him to explore new age therapies How Peyton Manning’s stem cell therapy inspired Cain’s interest in cutting edge therapy The lack of regenerative therapy options in the healthcare system Cain’s TBI symptoms and the effect on his life Cain’s successful experience with his own stem cell IV infusion Cain venturing into a career to make regenerative medicine available to others in need Veterans In Pain supporting those who haven’t had success with traditional therapies Veterans In Pain’s goal to share research and processes to adapt change within the VA How Cain’s success with ketamine infusion therapy led to Veterans In Pain creating a branch for this treatment within the organization The stigma of ketamine and the shifting view on psychedelics in the medical community Cain’s inspiration to co-found Regenerative Ops What is orthobiologics and what products does Regenerative Ops offer? Cain’s advice to anyone who is struggling with an injury or chronic pain The importance of advocating for yourself How important mindset and gratitude is on a healing journey Connect with Cain McQuinley on LinkedIn and Instagram.

The stigma of mental health in a South Asian family can be complex, with loved ones often denying or minimizing issues. Their actions, even if they are well-intentioned, can be harmful to their family members living with bipolar. The immigrant experience, often characterized by keeping up appearances and the collectivist mindset, is unfortunately a common one. Perhaps, by sharing more of these experiences and breaking down at least some of the barriers that exist, we can start to shift the attitudes toward bipolar and other mental illnesses. For Nikhil Torsekar, this narrative is all too familiar. One day, he seemed to have it all—a loving family, a first-class education and a thriving career—until suddenly, it came crashing down. He lost his job, abruptly filed for divorce and had nowhere to live. Turns out, he had been suffering from undiagnosed bipolar disorder for 20 years. After becoming suicidal and receiving a diagnosis at 40-years-old, he finally began his journey toward healing. With the help and support of his wife, Shelly Sood, the pair now share their story on a successful podcast and blog, and are now working on a book and movie to tell their story about mental health. Their message, above all else, is to untether your life. Tune in to hear more about how with the right combination of tools—medication, therapy and supportive relationships—you can start your own healing journey, and take ownership of your mental health. Topics discussed in this episode: Nikhil's journey to diagnosis The immigrant experience The three-legged stool: medication, therapy, relationships Sore state of mental healthcare in India Untethering your life Taking ownership of your health Finding and joining a community The fundamentals of breathing Head to Apple Podcasts to listen to the Shelly Story, a podcast about owning your own health, co-hosted by Nikhil and his wife, Shelly Sood.

But back at the cabin, Shelly encounters her worst nightmare. Nikhil's face turns to stone as he says, "I don't love you anymore. I want a divorce." Shelly enters into hysterics. Divorce proceedings follow. But Nikhil and Shelly's story takes an unexpected twist when Nikhil is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. On this episode, we discuss their mental health journey as a family; sweeping issues under the rug, their marriage falling apart and coming back together, and coming to terms with seeking help.
