Today we're revisiting one of the very first episodes of the pod. It’s a conversation with the legendary… Hetal Dave! She’s India’s first and only female sumo wrestler. Absolutely inspiring, she has such an amazing story, there was even a biopic made about her last year. Just a quick one before we get started - as Hetal lives in the middle of Mumbai, you can hear some background noises – personally I think it makes it more immersive. Hopefully you do too. Enjoy!Find Hetal on social media here...INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/sumodidii/Got an Idea for the Podcast?I’d love to hear from you!

Can humans really survive without food? Some followers of Breatharianism claim they can—living on little more than air, sunlight, and life energy. But is there any truth to it? Or is this a dangerous myth?In this episode, I sit down with Jerome Shaw, an advocate of the Breatharian lifestyle, to hear his perspective. We explore what Breatharianism is, the philosophy behind it, and the controversies surrounding the movement.I also take a deep dive into the science behind fasting and human nourishment, looking at what the evidence actually says.
