I don’t know if you also feel it, but there seems to be an air of anxiety around health. People seem to be more worried about their health than ever before.

‘aaj kal kisi ko bhi kuch bhi ho raha hai’, - We hear this phrase way too often these days, especially when we hear the news of someone passing due to a sudden cardiac failure, or stroke, and the scariest of all - Cancer. Young, healthy looking folks with apparently good habits are being diagnosed with conditions that were unheard of. Regular folks who work long hours in stressful jobs, don’t workout, and have more failure than success in all their attempts to eat healthy - invariably suffer from a bunch of metabolic diseases. But even the apparently fit ones, the likes of endurance athletes are also developing cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and in worst of cases collapsing at races. It’s not only shocking but also very sad.

But then bulk of these conditions don’t develop overnight. They are a result of a bunch of things being done wrong over a long period of time and that onset of a disease begins long before it starts screaming for attention.

I’m a great believer in testing and early detection which is why I’ve done two episodes with youwecan foundation on breast cancer, one with Madhur daga on heart health - both emphasising on getting tested instead of living in darkness.

Are there any tests we can get done to know diseases that we’re prone to before they become serious? There is a startup in Gurgaon that collects not blood sample, but your biological samples, runs them through a bunch of algorithms, and comes up with disease prediction upto 10 years in advance. And they also give personalised recommendations on what you need to do in order to alter that destiny.

Welcome to Episode 51. This conversation is with Sushant kumar, who’s the founder and CEO of genefitletics, the startup that I just talked about. This is a super informative conversation that’ll blow your mind about the extent to which your microbiome affects every aspect of your health. We also discussed how it’s not just the gut microbiome but also the oral microbiome that plays a crucial role in keeping us healthy or sick. This episode is a master class in microbiome.

Listen carefully, make notes, do your own research and if you have any questions, feel free to connect with Sushant and know more.

Welcome back to the show!

When we’re young, let’s say in our early 20s, we barely ever think about age, or how we want to be when we enter old age.

But what is old age anyway?

In fact what is being young?

Today’s guest is 71 years. She is a runner who has run marathons across the world including the likes of Antarctica marathon, The Great Wall of china marathon, the Sacramento marathon, Everest base camp marathon, Kilimanjaro Marathon any many more such exotic races. 


When she used to run competitively, she used to regularly grab podiums at events of repute such as the Tata Mumbai Marathon which earlier used to be SCMM. In fact she had a hat-trick of winning gold medals at the Mumbai marathon in 50+ and 60+ age categories and she has even represented India in the masters category. So she’s an International sportsperson.

A quick side note, she has also been a coach and she even coached an elite athlete named Rigzin Angmo who went on to win Delhi Rath marathon, clocking her career best of 2hours 45 minutes and 8 seconds.

Mala is also a Trekker, mountaineer, Skier, a Yoga practitioner and coach, and she even loves Karate.

She has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Sitidhar, Stok Kangri, Siachin Glacier and many more.

And as if all this wasn’t challenging enough, in 2015, she set off to climb the mighty Mount Everest. At the ripe age of 62, she managed training, funding, and summoned the will to get to the top of the world. She was at the basecamp, and the one of the most devastating earthquakes ever hit Nepal and the entire expedition had to be called off. Nepal’s devastation was visible in many viral videos, and later in Netflix documentaries, but what about shattered dreams?

Sapne jab tootte hain toh aawaz hoti hai kya?

Jo devastation dil-o-dimag mein hoti hai, wo kitni badi hai, wo toh na kisiko nazar aati hai, our na dikhayi ja sakti hai.

But, Mala Honnatti doesn’t let anything that happens to her, define her. She keeps marching forward with her calling which is adventures and outdoors. And today, she’s the founder of Maho Adventures which organises Treks to some of the most beautiful places in the country, making outdoors and adventures more accessible to all.

It’s not her achievements, it’s the life she has lived that ’s incredibly inspiring. All that you’ve heard so far will blow your mind when you hear about the background she comes from, the hurdles she has had to overcome.

Nothing about her life is conventional, and yet, she sounds like it’s no big deal.

Without further ado, let’s get to know this adventurous, daring and beautiful person. Here’s Mala Honnatti and me in the Find your Ultra Podcast. Indulge away.

This episode has one of the greatest stories from the world of Mountaineering.

Anurag Maloo is an Indian climber who went on an expedition to climb Mount Annapurna April last year, but an accident happened and he feel into a deep crevasse. Multiple rescue attempts were made but with no luck for 3 days.

So, Anurag was stuck inside of a narrow crevasse, injured from the fall, at an altitude of nearly 6000Meters on one of the deadliest mountains on the planet that has an extremely high fatality rate. 

After 3 days and 3 nights, an attempt was made to recover his body, and a team of skilled climbers manage to get inside the crevasse. To their shock and awe, Anurag was still breathing. That set off a race against time. A race to save his life. 

An entire community of people from 60 countries came together and contributed in different ways to one cause - #bringanuragback

How did this happen? How did he survive? What had exactly happened? How is he now? What has this life changing experience taught him? Not just this, how’s he as a person? What’s his life story? Why does he climb? What’s his life like outside of mountaineering?

Tune in to the full episode to know all these answers, and more in this inspiring episode of the Find Your Ultra Podcast.

Find your ultra podcast episode 46 brings you an overdue installment out our special feature ‘What’s been up’ featuring Biplab Mukherjee. And this time, we called the national champ, Binay Sah over as well.

It’s a short episode so we didn’t go deep into anything. It was a quick catch-up, but even that was enough to bring out some hilarious stories of Binay’s national record of 100 miles at The Hell race, Border ultra last year.

We also spoke about Biplab’s #75hard challenge, and the substantial vitality he has been able to achieve on his Instagram in recent times. We tried to learn the secret formula, his work process and learnings.

This episode is a real chill pill. A break from the usual long and deep conversations. It’s awaiting your indulgence. Enjoy!

Welcome back to the show.

Today I’m speaking with Faizi Khan. If you’ve been at running events, I’m sure you would have seen her hosting and anchoring various events and award functions. But if you don’t follow her on social media, I’m pretty sure there are so many things about her that you don’t know.

I was honestly blown away by the volume and variety of work that she has done. Go check out her website, linked below.

Faizi is a speaker, a writer, an author, a runner, a coach and she’s a storyteller, there are just so many aspects to her and even this description I’m pretty sure will not be approved by her as she does not like being boxed. In fact, she’s also written and performed a poem about this on national television (linked below).

And so, without further ado, here’s Faizi Khan and me in the Find Your Ultra Podcast, episode 45, indulge away!

Trail running Is very different from Road running. Although it’s still one foot in front of the other, trail running offers a profound connection with nature. 

Unlike the predictability of pavements, trails offer dynamic, ever-changing, terrain, turning each step into an adventure.

Beyond physical challenges, it provides a mental escape, a rhythmic meditation of sorts. It’s a holistic experience that not only builds endurance, but also fosters a deep appreciation for the beauty that exists beyond concrete jungles.

But we live in a concrete jungle. That’s the reality. There are no trails here, right?

Well, turns out that’s not true. This city is blessed with some gorgeous trails. We just need to know where they are, and how to safely navigate them.

Welcome to episode 43. Today, we’re hearing from Kshitish Purohit, who’s a tech entrepreneur and a trail runner actively striving to turn Delhi into a trail running Haven. He has co-founded Capital trails, which has become one of the largest trail running communities in India. He’s also the national representative for ITRA, which stands for International trail running association. So, what are the nuances of trail running? what do these guys see when they head out to explore? What are they doing to grow this community. How can we organize races that attract the likes of Killian, Jim Walmsley, and Courtney Duwalter. 

It’s a super fun and informative conversation, and so without further ado, let’s dive right in this is Me and Kshitish Purohit in the Find your Ultra podcast, episode 43. Indulge away.
