Wishing you all a very Happy New Year. January is when all of us are excited and charged up with setting new goals for the year, and some start planning their new year resolutions. One thing I am sure of is that everyone would have at least one goal or resolution around their well-being and health. 

Joining me today to delve into the topic of longevity is Dr. Marcus Ranney who is the founder of Human Edge Enterprises. Human Edge is an investor-backed longevity science company with a vision of democratising the healthspan of the workforce. Through science, data and technology it provides individuals with personalised bio-hacks to optimise their energy levels at work, home and play. 

Dr. Marcus's expeditions have led him to climb the sides of Everest, ski in the Arctic, and the European Alps, and serve as a medical officer in the Royal Air Force and at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. He recently authored the book “At the Human Edge” which looks at human physiology and extreme sports and is also on the verge of launching a cutting-edge digital platform by the same name.

The skin is our body’s largest organ. Taking care of our skin is equally as important as our other organs. But having good skin also means proper maintenance to help it reach its full potential.

Our skin goes through a lot as we age. Between being exposed to different environmental conditions and sometimes lack of care, our skin starts showing signs of aging. While there are some things we can do to protect our skin, sometimes it takes an expert like a dermatologist.

Dermatology is a branch of medicine dealing with skin, hair, and nail diseases. It covers both medical and surgical aspects. It can be subdivided into Core Dermatology (deals with skin diseases), Cosmetology (treatment of skin appearance), Trichology (study of hair disorders), and Dermatosurgery (the practice of skin surgeries). 

To delve deeper into this topic, I invited Dr. Falguni Shah, founder of Radiance Skin Clinic to share her insights. Her clinic caters to several celebrity patients from India and abroad. Over years, she has strived to bring science to the world of beauty and has taken specialized training in Lasers and Advanced cosmetic procedures from leading dermatologists and cosmetologists in Australia, Brazil, Singapore, US, and Thailand.

In today’s day and age, we are recognising more and more about the effects that our bodies are having with what we put inside of them. People are recognising the benefits of using alternative medicine over mainstream medicines. Even health care professionals are becoming more open to the benefits it can have for the body.

The guest of my show today is a renowned expert in the field of homeopathy – Dr. Divya Chhabra.

She was introduced to homeopathy at the age of 7 months when a severe colic was instantly relieved and a looming laparotomy averted. After graduating as a Gold Medallist from CMP homeopathic medical college, she did her MD from DKMM Homeopathic Medical College.

To date, 10 new homeopathic remedies have been researched by her, which are being used all over the world today. 

Her unwavering dedication to her patients and the search for the ‘bull’s eye’ similimum (the perfect constitutional homeopathic remedy for the patient) is matched by her zeal for teaching all that she knows to the practitioners and students of homeopathy for the last 26 years.

As per the WHO, Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients (adults and children) and their families who are facing problems associated with a life-threatening illness. 

The need for palliative care has never been greater. Non-communicable diseases like cancer are on the rise. At present, in India, we have around 30 lakh people with cancer at any given time. Of these, 75-80 percent come with advanced disease and half of them die within a year. Yet no more than 2 percent receive palliative care because of the paucity of services.

To share more insights, I invited Dr. Vidya, a well-respected physician in the field of Palliative Care as the guest on my show today.

UTIs or Urinary tract infections are incredibly common. As many as 60% of women will experience a UTI during their lifetime, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). While women are predominantly affected, UTIs are also seen in men and children. 

Majority of the cases are caused by bacteria, however, in some cases, it could be a fungal infection as well. 

The guest for my show is a renowned expert in the field of urology, Dr. Anita Patel. Through our conversation, we delve into the causes of UTIs, the types of UTIs, the various treatment options available and simple solutions to take care of ourselves.

It seems like everyone we know is struggling with daytime fatigue. But how do we know if our “tired” is due to bad sleep hygiene v/s a serious sleep disorder?

If we feel tired or unrefreshed after waking up even though we have had a full night of sleep, most likely it may be due to sleep apnea. 

Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleeping disorder when your breathing stops and starts repeatedly in your sleep. 

To throw more light into this I have invited highly esteemed robotic sleep apnea surgeon, Dr. Vikas Agrawal. He has been the past President of the Indian Association of Surgeons for Sleep Apnea (IASSA) and is presently the Chairman of the Committee for sleep disorders at the Indian Academy of Otolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery (IAOHNS). He is the Director at the Specialty ENT Hospital also the visiting ENT consultant at Seven Hills Hospital. 

In our today’s podcast show, Dr. Vikas Agrawal discusses the methods of diagnosing and treating sleep apnoea in both adults and children.

“Sit up straight!” - We have been told this countless times. Today, it is easier than ever to find yourself slouched over a phone or laptop for hours.

Back pain is the second most common cause of doctor consult worldwide. Many of these concerns can be attributed to lifestyle factors and improper posture. These problems have increased even more during the lockdown - increased hours of sitting and working on the computer, attending online classes, slouched posture, reduced physical activity are factors that contribute to weak back and neck. These concerns can be managed easily by being mindful, doing adequate physical activity and being conscious of our posture while using devices. 

When you don't take care of your bone health of your body, it’s like having a car with a great engine but poor tin work. This is the only place we have to live in so we need to take care of it.

On this week’s episode of my podcast Unburden Your Health, my guest is Dr Abhay Nene. He is a world-renowned Orthopaedic surgeon and consultant with top hospitals in Mumbai. He is also a marathon runner, trekker, musician and avid cyclist. We aim to break some of the common misconceptions and how we can better address such prevalent conditions with plenty of useful takeaways for our health.

WHO estimates that about 7.5 percent of Indians suffer from some mental disorder and predicts that by end of this year, roughly 20 percent of India will suffer from mental illnesses. If we look at teenagers, 40% of disorders of emotional health issues are picked up actually before the age of 14.  

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to both our physical and mental wellbeing. We must learn to navigate new ways to live, learn, work and stay well.

In this episode with Dr. Anjali Chhabria, we aim to address the mental health challenges faced across age groups and how awareness is the first step towards a solution. She explains how disorders of mental health straddle all age groups and strata of society and need to be understood.
