This episode is brought to you by Pique Life and Cozy Earth.


Navigating illness—whether it's our own or that of someone we deeply love—is one of life’s greatest challenges. It can shake our foundations, test our resilience, and bring uncertainty to even the most grounded lives. But amid the struggle, illness also holds the potential to awaken us—to deepen our understanding of the body, sharpen our intuition, and reconnect us to something greater than ourselves.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with top experts on near-death experiences and how these profound moments can become portals to healing, clarity, and deep self-discovery.


Anita Moorjani shares the life-changing lessons and mindset shifts she experienced during her coma, and how her near-death experience transformed the way she lives today.


Dr. Cynthia Li opens up about her journey with autoimmune illness and the limitations of a traditional medical system that often waits until symptoms are severe before taking action. She explains why it’s essential to create space between your identity and your diagnosis, and highlights the key pillars that guided her path to healing.


Anita Moorjani is a renowned author and spiritual speaker known for her transformative journey beyond the brink of death. Anita battled end-stage cancer before experiencing a remarkable near-death experience (NDE) that shifted her perspective on life. Her bestselling memoir, “Dying to Be Me,” chronicles her profound journey and miraculous healing. 


Dr. Cynthia Li has practiced as an internist in settings as diverse as Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, San Francisco General Hospital, and St. Anthony Medical Clinic, serving the homeless. Her personal health challenges led her to integrative and Functional Medicine, and she currently has a private practice in Berkeley, CA. She is the author of Brave New Medicine: A Doctor’s Unconventional Path to Healing Her Autoimmune Illness.
