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. Dr. Zolman explains how conditions like sleep apnea and upper airway resistance syndrome can quietly impact your energy, cognitive function, and long-term health. 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. His work explores how emerging science can extend healthspan and help people stay healthier for longer, with the ambitious goal of reversing age-related decline across the body's major organ systems.

We're constantly told to avoid the sun, wear sunscreen every day, and invest in expensive skincare products if we want healthy, youthful-looking skin. But what does the science actually say? Can some sun exposure be beneficial? Are mineral sunscreens really safer than chemical ones? And with so many devices, creams, and treatments promising younger skin, which ones are actually worth your time and money?

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with double board-certified dermatologist, skin cancer expert, and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Teo Soleymani to separate fact from fiction when it comes to skin health and aging. Dr. Soleymani breaks down the latest research on sun exposure, skin cancer risk, and sunscreen safety, while revealing the most effective strategies for preventing premature aging. He also shares the top treatments for wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage, along with the devices and skincare interventions that deliver the biggest results without wasting your money. If you've ever wondered what actually works for healthier, younger-looking skin, this conversation is packed with practical, science-backed answers.

Dr. Teo Soleymani is a nationally recognized, double board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs Micrographic and Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon. A Stanford-trained physician and former clinical professor at UCLA, he specializes in the treatment of complex, high-risk skin cancers and sun-damaged, aging skin. He now leads California Dermatology and Mohs Surgery Specialists in Pasadena, CA, and continues to contribute to academic research and innovation in dermatologic surgery.

Millions of people take antidepressants to manage anxiety and depression, yet many questions remain about their long-term effectiveness and what happens when people try to stop taking them. As concerns grow about withdrawal symptoms and the challenges of coming off these medications, understanding both their benefits and limitations has never been more important.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Mark Horowitz to explore the widespread use of antidepressants, why so many people struggle to come off them, and how withdrawal symptoms are often misunderstood. Dr. Horowitz shares his own difficult experience tapering off antidepressants and how it inspired him to research and develop safer, evidence-based approaches for reducing these medications. He also examines the research on how antidepressants were originally approved, highlighting key limitations in some studies and how those flaws may have shaped our understanding of their benefits and risks. Along the way, he explains what happens in the brain during the tapering process and the best and worst practices for supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and antidepressant discontinuation.

Dr. Mark Horowitz is a Clinical Research Fellow in Psychiatry with the NHS in London, Visiting Lecturer at King’s College London, and lead author of the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines, the first authoritative handbook on safely stopping antidepressants and other psychiatric medications. His research has helped shape UK national guidance on tapering psychiatric drugs, and he has published in leading journals including The Lancet Psychiatry and JAMA Psychiatry. Drawing from both his clinical expertise and personal experience coming off psychiatric medications after 20 years of use, Dr. Horowitz is dedicated to helping people safely reduce or discontinue medications when appropriate.

*Important: Never stop or reduce a prescribed medication without guidance from your healthcare provider. Medication changes should be made under professional supervision, as withdrawal symptoms and individual responses can vary significantly.

Mental health care is at a turning point, with more people questioning whether symptom management alone leads to lasting healing. At the same time, emerging research is exploring how psychedelic-assisted therapies may help address deeper root causes tied to emotional well-being.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Will Van Derveer to discuss the transformative potential and risks of psychedelic medicine, sharing powerful stories of healing, the importance of proper guidance, and the current landscape of research and regulation. He also discusses how the current mental health care system is in crisis and how some patients don’t feel relief from pharmaceuticals, as they may not address the root cause of their condition. Dr. Van Derveer also shares the ideal candidates for psychedelic medicine and the importance of finding the right guide and combining it with therapy. 

Will Van Derveer is a psychiatrist focused on addressing the root causes of mental health challenges, not just medicating symptoms. With nearly 25 years of experience, he co-founded the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (IPI), which has trained over 10,000 licensed professionals in integrative psychiatry and psychedelic-assisted therapy. Dr. Van Derveer is the coauthor of Psychedelic Therapy, and co-host of the Higher Practice Podcast.

We often think of healing as a battle: fight harder, optimize more, push through. But this week’s conversation challenges that entire mindset and explores why the body may heal best in states of safety, stillness, and flow.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Cynthia Li to discuss why so many people are stuck in chronic stress and survival mode despite doing “everything right” for their health. Dr. Li shares her powerful personal healing journey and explains how resistance, perfectionism, fear, and hidden emotional “subcurrents” can create wear and tear in the body over time. She breaks down the connection between nervous system regulation, longevity, brain health, chronic inflammation, and emotional well-being. She also shares practical ways to integrate these ideas into everyday life, relationships, and family dynamics, along with the science behind flow, energy, and what she calls “activated calm.”

Cynthia Li, MD, is a physician specializing in integrative medicine and intuitive healing. After developing a disabling autoimmune illness, she expanded her work beyond conventional medicine, studying functional medicine, environmental health, qigong, and holistic healing. Her healing journey was featured in the documentary Radical Remission. She is the author of the bestselling memoir Brave New Medicine and her new book, The Medicine of Flow (May 2026).

Heart disease is still the #1 killer worldwide, but most heart attacks don’t happen overnight. They’re built quietly through years of poor sleep, chronic stress, lack of movement, ultra-processed food, and everyday habits we rarely question. The good news? Many of the biggest risk factors are within our control.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we are revisiting one of our favorite episodes with cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Jeremy London to unpack the hidden lifestyle patterns that dramatically increase your risk for heart disease and heart attacks. From sleep deprivation and chronic stress to exercise, nutrition, and recovery, Dr. London explains the daily decisions that either protect or damage your heart over time. He also opens up about surviving his own heart attack and how that experience completely transformed the way he approaches prevention, patient care, and long-term health. If you want to better understand how heart disease develops and what you can do today to prevent it, this episode is a must-listen.

Dr. Jeremy London is a board-certified cardiovascular surgeon with over 25 years of clinical experience. He earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Georgia and trained in surgery in Denver and Charlotte. To expand his approach, he completed the Institute of Functional Medicine’s core program, integrating a root-cause, whole-body perspective with traditional medicine. Dr. London’s mission is to share practical, easy-to-understand health information through his newsletter, podcast, and social media.

Some of the most harmful exposures in modern life don’t come all at once. They come from the small, everyday products and habits we rarely question.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Allison Evans to explore how the products we use in our homes every day may be quietly impacting our health. Allison shares her personal journey toward a low-toxin lifestyle and offers simple, practical ways to reduce toxic exposure without feeling overwhelmed. They discuss safer kitchen and laundry habits, the importance of water filtration, mold exposure, and how small intentional changes can help create a healthier home and family.

Allison Evans, co-founder of Branch Basics, has dedicated herself to helping others reap the benefits of clean living. Removing toxins from her home and diet helped her overcome chronic pain and severe PCOS, and then several years later, a bad mold exposure and symptoms of chronic Lyme disease. She is passionate about helping others experience greater healing as she did.
