  • 73: Amish Shah, The Natural Law - Harnessing Ayurveda (the "Wisdom of Life") to Heal Himself and the Planet

    As a member of the South Asian diaspora, I'm humbled by the vast wisdom in our DNA and at our fingertips as evidenced by traditions such as Ayurveda - literally the "science or wisdom of life." I also have great respect for others in our culture who have embraced these holistic modalities to own their health, and have pursued their true dharma or calling in lieu of the limited "doctor, engineer, failure" menu that we grew up with.

    I was therefore very glad to speak with this week's guest Amish Shah.

    Amish Shah is a thriving entrepreneur, yoga and meditation expert, and a seasoned filmmaker, who encountered a pivotal health obstacle that served as the catalyst for a profound voyage into the realm of ancient sciences.

    This journey ultimately led to the creation of Deep Origins, a venture that now touches the lives of 20 million people each month. Amish's latest undertaking, The Natural Law, is an extraordinary documentary and platform that revolves around the principles of Ayurveda.

    This groundbreaking film documents his personal healing journey while simultaneously delving into the intricacies of the fragmented Western medical system and the transformative potential of achieving harmony among the mind, body, and spirit.

    In this episode, Amish and I delve into numerous areas, including:

    • How Ayurveda - a South Asian wisdom tradition dating back 5,000 years - provided Amish, then a burnt-out multi-millionaire tech entrepreneur, with an effective means for managing ulcers, fatty liver, celiac disease, and numerous other disorders when traditional medicine had failed him.
    • The power of synchronicity, as illustrated by the chain of events that connected Nikhil and Amish: meeting Dr. Sheila Patel (Chief Medical Officer, Chopra Global) at a Deepak Chopra-led retreat, a random email advertisement of Dr. Patel's appearance on a Natural Law Webinar, and an introduction to Amish
    • How the concept of dharma - the "right way of living" - plays out in the South Asian diaspora, and how falling out of alignment may contribute to "dis-ease."
    • Amish's career spanning several lucrative, but stressful opportunities that wreaked havoc healthwise: financial services in New York City, followed by the launch of several multi-million dollar technology and digital marketing startups in luxurious La Jolla, California
    • The Natural Law - an award-winning documentary created by Amish with hundreds of thousands of viewers, featuring Deepak Chopra, Mark Halpern, Vasant Lad, and many other experts in Ayurveda. The film's roots as a passion project / labor of love that started 10 years ago
    • The next steps for The Natural Law beyond the film, including an online portal with a knowledgebase on Ayurveda, telecoaching services, a tool for finding pracititioners, an interactive community, and a marketplace for Ayurvedic herbs and other products

    • 72: Kyle Peche - Jyoti Mineral Balancing, and the Benefits of a "Detoxification-Friendly" Lifestyle

      One of the mantras of this podcast is to "Own Your Health;" while conventional modalities such as surgery are very helpful for addressing trauma, optimizing one's health requires a rigorous exploration of alternative approaches. This week's guest, Kyle Peche, demonstrates the benefits of "ripping up templates" in charting one's health journey, when the tried-and-true comes up short.

      After resolving his own 7 year health battle with chronic fatigue, brain fog, panic attacks, and other mysterious symptoms, Kyle developed a passion for healing others and alleviating their suffering as well. A certified Mineral-Nutritional Balancing Practitioner and founder of Jyoti Mineral Balancing, he now uses what he’s learned about detoxification, mineral nutrition, hair analysis, and functional medicine to help others not only recover from mysterious ailments, but also regain an ability to “thrive” in their lives.

      We touch on numerous topics in this podcast, including:

      • How Kyle’s 7-year journey of disenchantment with traditional allopathic healthcare modalities and frustrating trial and error with holistic / alternative practices led him to find the effective missing link between gut healing, pathogen elimination, psychological healing, and inner work.
      • The potential impact of increased levels of glyphosate and mercury on neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and autism.
      • The benefits of living a “detoxification-friendly lifestyle” in a world where the levels of metals and toxins are higher than ever before.
      • How meditation and breathwork practices such as kapalbhati (“breath of fire”) and anulom vilom (“alternate nostril breathing”) can help reverse blocking of detoxification caused by increased stress
      • How the work of Dr. Paul Eck, James Nestor, Joe Dispenza, Swami Rama and others influenced Kyle’s journey of healing
      • An overview of Kyle’s company Jyoti Mineral Balancing (JMB). Jyoti is Sanskrit for essence and light and shining, and symbolizes Kyle's conviction that "when we purify the body and balance it and rejuvenate it, that our essence better shines through."
      • How JMB's combination of detoxification, hair analysis, mineral nutrition, and functional medicine might help clients manage brain fog, optimize gut health, and tap into deeper meditation and states of flow.

      • 71: Chris McDonald - The Power of Subtle Yoga, Brainspotting, Breathwork and Other Holistic Counseling Modalities

        This week's guest, Chris McDonald, is a breath of fresh air in a world beset by false dichotomies between "traditional" and "holistic" approaches to mental health.

        Chris is a holistic therapist, yogi, meditation teacher, author, and host of The Holistic Counseling Podcast. She owns a group online practice called Path to Hope Counseling. Chris is a 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher, is certified in brainspotting and offers gentle yoga to clients in session, and offers private yoga sessions. She specializes in treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma and grief in young adults.

        As the author of Self-Care for the Counselor, she has helped many therapists prioritize their own mental health and wellness. She is a Meditation Teacher on the Aura app and Insight Timer.

        On this week's episode, host Nikhil Torsekar and Chris cover myriad areas, including:

        • The state of mental health among mental health practitioners, especially after COVID. How self-service mindfulness techniques like three part breathing can help combat burnout and compassion fatigue.
        • How holistic modalities like yoga, breathwork, and guided meditation can be beneficial in getting to the root of the issue vs. superficially addressing symptoms
        • Brainspotting, a modality developed by Dr. David Grand as an offshoot of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). How therapists can leverage the basic, yet powerful adage that "where you look affects how you feel" to help their clients effectively process trauma - sometimes moreso than with traditional talk therapy
        • Subtle yoga, which can help ground us, strengthen our connection with the present, find the "window of tolerance" and strike a balance between our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
        • The importance of finding community - whether through Facebook groups, virtual / in person happy hours, hosting a podcast, or yoga circles - in navigating the sometimes overwhelming "rabbit hole" of holistic modalities
        • The wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh (known as the "father of mindfulness"), Kristine Weber (the founder of subtle yoga) and other figures who have influenced Chris in her holistic counseling journey

        • 70: Nikhil and Shelly Guest Appearance on Discover More Podcast with Benoit Kim

          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

          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

        • 69: LeRon Barton - 3x TEDx Speaker & Celebrated Author on Overcoming Immense Setbacks, Speaking Your Truth, and Disrupting the Status Quo

          One of the most rewarding aspects of hosting Untether Your Life is having conversations with folks who have attained great success by overcoming adversity, fighting the status quo / ripping up templates, and staying true to themselves. This week's guest, LeRon Barton, typifies these values.

          LeRon L. Barton is a a 3x TEDx speaker, writer, and information technology professional originally from Kansas City, Missouri. LeRon is the author of two books, Straight Dope: A 360 degree look into American Drug Culture and All We Really Need Is Love: Stories of Dating, Relationships, Heartbreak, and Marriage.

          In addition to his books, LeRon is an essayist whose topics cover racism, mass incarceration, politics, gender, and dating. These works have appeared in Black Enterprise, Salon, Harvard Business Review, Newsweek, and many other outlets.

          LeRon is an international speaker who has given three TEDx speeches and has appeared at Oxford University, University of San Francisco, Square, and Defy Ventures.

          In this week’s episode, LeRon and host Nikhil touch on many topics, including the following:

          LeRon’s youth in Kansas City, his days in California, and his multi-faceted career as a writer, speaker, information technology professional, and much more
          The silver lining in the storm clouds of COVID, in providing black workers with remote work opportunities that could benefit their mental health
          Code switching, and the compulsion for minorities to surrender parts of their identity in the workforce. How LeRon encourages these employees to stay true to themselves, and still achieve advancement in corporate America.
          The meaning of the Nelson Mandela quote "I never lose. I either win or I learn." How this mindset of perseverance and determination inspire LeRon - someone with a decades-long stutter, anxiety, and fear of public speaking - to become a 3-time TEDx speaker all the while prolifically writing thought-provoking articles in the most influential journals of our time

          In this episode, host Nikhil Torsekar and Freeman explore the following:

          The art and science behind Freeman's book Travel to Transform - which shatters the false dichotomy between travel memoirs and self-help books
          Takeaways from travels to more than 35 countries, including Romania, India, Finland, Singapore, and Australia
          Freeman's success in shedding the "templates" of his native ultra-competitive upbringing in Hong Kong, to find his true, authentic identity
          The cultural significance of the phrase, "have you eaten rice yet?"
          How traveling is the ultimate fast track to personal growth

          Healing modalities Freeman embraced to manage Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), including the wisdom tradition of Shaolin Kung Fu as taught by TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) practitioner Micke Hoong
          Freeman's experience in India (Nikhil's native country), where - in addition to a rich tapestry of cultures - he witnessed the jarring disparity between the opulence of the business tycoons' skyscrapers and the abject poverty of the slums of Mumbai (where Nikhil's family is from)
          What we as "global citizens" can do to raise our collective consciousness to solve the problems caused by huge disparities in wealth that are pervasive throughout the planet

        • 67: Laura Carney - My Father's List: How Living My Dad's Dreams Set Me Free

          Laura Carney is the author of My Father's List: How Living My Dad's Dreams Set Me Free. It's the story of how the author found the courage to go after her own dreams after tackling an ambitious 50+ item "bucket list" compiled by her late father Mick Carney, who had been killed by a distracted driver more than a decade prior.

          Host Nikhil Torsekar deeply enjoyed speaking with Laura, as he had lost his own father-in-law earlier this year after a grueling decades-long struggle with Parkinson’s disease and many other illnesses. Like this week's guest, he finds comfort in listening to the messages and guidance his father-in-law continues to send messages from beyond.

          Nikhil and Laura touch on many topics in this episode, including:

          The origin and contents of the "bucket list" compiled by Mick, which includes skydiving, surfing the Pacific Ocean, and talking with a US President.
          The power of belief and surrender in coping with loss.
          The significance of simple inanimate objects such as the horseshoe, and how can they take on an entirely new meaning when inverted or placed upright. Note: all you Mad Men fans out there, stay tuned for some Easter eggs.
          How we can achieve a richer fuller life through documenting and capturing stories, thereby illustrating Jessamyn West's maxim that "people who keep journals have life twice."

          In addition to writing this book, Laura is a New York City-based copy editor who has been published in Washington Post, Associated Press, and many other outlets, and has worked as a copy editor in Vanity Fair, GQ, People, and other journals.

        • 66: Neelu Kaur - Be Your Own Cheerleader and Thrive in Corporate America

          South Asians often encounter limitations in corporate America in adhering to the model minority myth, a collectivist mindset and many other "unqiue" nuances of the culture. This week’s guest, Neelu Kaur helps clients tackle these challenges head on.

          Neelu is an expert in leadership, wellness, and diversity, who has worked with Google, RBC, and many other top firms over her 15-year career in coaching and leadership development.

          In this episode, host Nikhil Torsekar and Neelu cover:

          - A deeper dive into Neelu's recently published "Be Your Own Cheerleader" book and innovative platform, which melds Ayurveda, yoga, and neurolinguistic programming

          - What South Asians can do to find the sweet spot between their native collectivist mindset and Western rugged individualism - or the "I-we speedometer" - and thrive in corporate America

          - How paying heed to concepts like "fit for purpose," "reverse classroom," and "time confetti" can help workers manage burnout in a increasingly virtual world that continually blurs the line between home and office

          - Neelu's journey to Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), and how this practice helped her confront toxic, uninspiring internal dialogue

          - How comedy and improv can help workers become more agile, take themselves less seriously, and reap the benefits of neuroplasticity

          - The principles of leadership embodiment, and how the "cocktail" of oxytocin and testosterone can help achieve an effective reset in stressful conditions

          How SOMA Breath has won over skeptics in the Indian medical community through the stamp of approval from Cambridge University

          How community be beneficial in the healing process, but also lead to rigid, dogmatic indoctrination
          Reflections on Mindvalley, where Niraj and Nikhil had met, and how a trip to the company's "AFest" led to a very fruitful partnership
