Success or Health ? – The one advise I wish someone gave me

I had an ‘education heavy’ childhood. Everything around my upbringing revolved around getting good education and getting a professional degree. Staying awake late night for studying always made my mother happy, and I could see that when she would bring tea and snacks to help me study all night long! Somewhere, I secretly felt proud about myself too. In college, I continued the same habit. Sleeping for a long time used to give me anxiety and major FOMO. I would feel, therefore, that I lost all the time I could have used for something productive and useful. I ignored my low energy levels, lethargy, weight gain, and low immunity that came with lack of sleep and found joy in getting ‘better scores’ and I reached a point where I lost complete control of my health. Finally, I had to make a choice – success or health? Today, if given a chance, I will tell my younger self to sleep, rest and replenish. Sleep is when your anti-cancer hormone (melatonin), your fat loss hormone (HGH), your hunger and satiety hormones (leptin and ghrelin) work. Sleep is when you restock your ammunition to fight diseases – immunity is developed when you sleep. Life has taught me the hard way to give first priority to health than success. Success will come and go. Money will come and go. Your health is your biggest asset therefore, never let it go away easily. Sleep is an investment for good health. Sleep is PRODUCTIVE!

Hair fall post COVID

I have seen many patients complaining about post-COVID hair fall. Here is all you need to know about it! About 90% of the hair fall post-COVID is due to a condition called Telogen Effluvium. Whenever the body is subjected to a phase of physical and emotional stress, it may lead to this condition. The good news is that this is a reversible hair fall and the hair will grow back but may take some time to get back to its fullness. During this condition, if you are someone with good iron levels, it will compensate for the hair loss. Else, the body uses the iron reserves for building the red blood cells. Hence, your iron levels are pivotal for the reversal of Telogen Effluvium and getting back your hair to fullness quickly.

Why home-made is better?

The recommended brand is something I get asked for every small thing – from my ghee cream to Amla powder! But, there is beauty in home-made. When you make it yourself, you have complete control over the ingredients, quantity, and, most importantly, the intention. When you buy something readymade, you have no idea or control over how it is made, where it is made and with what intent it is made. The same thing goes for food cooked at home and food from restaurants. Even for my patients, I never recommend commercially manufactured brands unless the patient lives in a location where they cannot get my medications. I send home-made medicines made in a small set-up of just three burners! Why the intent is important? In Indian households, we traditionally offer prayers while cooking rice. This is something I’ve seen my grandmother do. In addition, when she stores water, she places 2-3 flowers in it along with prayers with the intention of purifying the water. I’m not suggesting that you pray every time you cook. We can, however, put good intentions into the food we cook and the medicines we make at home when we are doing it for our loved ones. For example, instead of buying Amla powder, take some, remove the seeds, and dry them in the shade. Then, in a blender, powder it to make Amla powder. It will last a long time if stored in airtight glass jars. Let us change the world, one small step at a time!
