Today, more people than ever are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected—yet few of us have ever been taught how our nervous system actually works. Understanding how to regulate it may be one of the most important skills for improving our mental health, relationships, resilience, and overall well-being.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Jonny Miller to discuss why so many of us feel stuck in cycles of stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or numbness, and how learning to regulate our nervous system can transform the way we show up in every area of life. Jonny explains how our nervous system shapes our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and resilience, why reactivity isn't a personality flaw but a biological pattern, and the practical framework he's used to help thousands of people cultivate greater calm, emotional flexibility, and aliveness. He also shares his own journey through grief, the hidden cost of people-pleasing, and the simple daily practices that can help anyone build a more resilient nervous system.

Jonny Miller is the host of the Inner Frontier Podcast and the founder of Nervous System Mastery, a five-week bootcamp where he has taught more than a thousand students—from the CEO of a rocket-ship company and burned-out startup founders to busy parents and elite performers—how to cultivate calm, rewire reactivity, and restore aliveness.

If you're struggling with poor sleep, low energy, or brain fog, the root cause may not be what you think. As today's guest explains, the way you breathe and even the structure of your jaw can profoundly influence your sleep, brain health, and long-term risk of chronic disease.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with longevity researcher Dr. Oliver Zolman for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked drivers of brain aging: sleep-disordered breathing.

He also shares his personal journey overcoming chronic fatigue syndrome, how he discovered an underlying breathing problem, and the research-backed strategies that transformed his health. He also walks through the most effective treatment options, the resources that helped him, and what to look for when choosing the right provider for your own care.

Dr. Oliver Zolman, MBBS BSc, is a longevity researcher focused on the science of slowing and reversing biological aging. Trained at King's College London, he chose to forgo traditional clinical practice to pursue independent research into biological age testing, rejuvenation therapies, longevity medicine, and preventive health systems.
