Season 2, Ep. 1
•
The Mind-Blowing Science of Starving Cancer with Food | This episode is brought to you by BLUblox and InsideTracker.
Health is not simply the absence of disease. Health is an active state. Your body has within it five health defense systems: angiogenesis, stem cells, the microbiome, DNA protection, and immunity. These systems are responsible for maintaining our health and resisting the regular hazards we all face everyday as part of ordinary life—and they heal us when disease inflicts damage in our body. By knowing how these systems defend your body like a fortress, you can tap into their health powers to live a longer, healthier life.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. William Li, an internationally renowned physician, scientist, and author of the New York Times bestseller Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself. His groundbreaking work has led to the development of more than 30 new medical treatments, and impacts care for more than 70 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity.
His TED Talk, “Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?” has garnered more than 11 million views. Dr. Li has appeared on Good Morning America, CNN, CNBC and the Dr. Oz Show, and he has been featured in USA Today, Time Magazine, The Atlantic, and O Magazine. He is president and medical director of the Angiogenesis Foundation and is leading research into COVID-19.

As someone who is on the computer a lot, I realized all that screen time was negatively affecting how well I slept. I started learning about blue light and how it disrupts the body’s natural melatonin production, so I decided to try blue-light blocking glasses throughout the day to see if they helped—and they totally did. I love the blue-light blocking glasses made by BLUblox. BLUblox glasses reduced my digital eye strain and dramatically improved my sleep, and I have more energy throughout the day.

262. How to Talk About Politics and Other Difficult Topics without Losing Your Friends or Selling Your Soul with Denise Gitsham
01:37:18This episode is brought to you by Whoop, Beekeepers, and Cozy Earth. Nowadays, discussions around politics and viewpoints have become increasingly divisive and hostile. Often, differing perspectives are immediately shut down or met with personal attacks, even when we know that progress and growth come from listening to other viewpoints and approaching topics with curiosity. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with his good friend and author Denise Gitsham to discuss politics, polarization, and critical thinking. Denise shares experiences and lessons she learned while working at the highest levels of the federal government and how those experiences helped her change her mindset. Dhru and Denise discuss the importance of listening with curiosity and engaging with people with differing viewpoints to seek out the truth. They also discuss how polarization has disrupted civility and what we can do to bring it back to our conversations even when we disagree. Denise is the founder of Vitamin D Public Relations, a boutique communications firm that operates at the intersection of law, policy, politics, and the media. She has worked at the highest levels of the federal government, including the White House, the US Department of Justice, and the US Senate, and she's also run for Congress. A recovering attorney and long-time politico, Denise's passion is bridging division and fostering unity by emphasizing principles over partisanship. She recently released her first book, "Politics for People Who Hate Politics: How to Engage Without Losing Your Friends or Selling Your Soul." In this episode, Dhru and Denise dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version):Why it’s important to engage with people from different political views and backgrounds (5:10 / 5:10)The true story about polarization (6:23 / 6:23) The importance of skepticism and critical thinking in seeking the truth (19:17 / 16:53)How opinions are more visible (29:52 / 27:10) Why people are so triggered in day-to-day conversations (31:40 / 28:50)How do you stay informed by staying curious (37:00 / 32:33 )The importance of having multiple perspectives (39:45 / 36:00)Yearning for unity (53:50 / 49:30) Purposely engaging with people who have different viewpoints (57:43 / 53:15)The Third Option and committing to what is in the best interest of us (1:13:48 / 1:09:36) Bringing humanity back into the conversation (1:28:34 / 1:24:20) Where to follow Denise (1:35:05 / 1:30:54) Also mentioned in this episode:Politics For People Who Hate Politics WHOOP is a personalized digital fitness tracker.

261. How To Reprogram Your Body, Mind, and Spirit to Break Free of Past Programming, Illness, and The Matrix with Dr. Bruce Lipton
01:38:30This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, and Pique Life.Our minds are incredibly powerful, and we know our mindset and thoughts can influence our health, manifestations, and actions. But when we face challenges or engage in repetitive patterns, it's difficult to know the steps we need to take to liberate ourselves from negative thoughts or tendencies. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with biologist and world-renowned author Bruce Lipton. Bruce shows us how our minds are like computers and discusses how most of our programming comes from watching our environment before the age of seven and can often include self-sabotaging behaviors. Bruce shares tips on how we can become aware of our dysfunctional programming and empower ourselves to manifest the life we intentionally want to create. He also breaks down the difference between the subconscious mind, which allows us to function on autopilot, and the conscious mind, which involves thinking with intention and purpose. Bruce deep dives into the science behind action versus reaction, how it impacts our health, and the steps we can take to prevent illness and promote longevity. Bruce Lipton is a stem cell biologist and best selling author. His research challenges the traditional view that genes determine our biological destiny and suggests that our perceptions and experiences play a crucial role in shaping our health. In this episode, Dhru and Bruce dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version):95% of our life comes from programming outside of our own (3:20 / 3:20)Where we get our programming from and how it is similar to being under hypnosis (10:00 /10:00) Why 60% of the programs we have downloaded for our mind are dysfunctional (20:06 / 17:35)How we actively created our problems and what we can do to fix them (21:56 / 18:49)How we spend most of our time reacting rather than intentionally acting (34:12 / 29:00)90% of illness is from stress (37:41 / 32:00)Function of the mind: Making coherence between beliefs and reality (56:04 / 51:22)Belief in the inevitability of aging (1:00:20 / 55:53) The programming that Bruce came into and how he deprogrammed his mind (1:09:29 / 1:05:11) Three avenues to reprogram your mind (1:16:22 /1:11:56)Also mentioned in this episode:Calm AppDivision of Perceptual StudiesAccess more than 3,000 specialty lab tests with Rupa Health.
