For years, many have believed that cancer is primarily genetic or just bad luck, but emerging research suggests we have far more control over our risk than previously thought. Dr. Thomas Seyfried's groundbreaking work reframes cancer as a metabolic dysfunction, focusing on its root cause rather than just treating symptoms. While controversial, this approach offers new hope for both practitioners and patients seeking alternative strategies for prevention and treatment.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re bringing you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with Dr. Thomas Seyfried and experts from the Hippocrates Research Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to continuing Dr. Seyfried’s work by educating cancer patients on metabolic-based treatment approaches.

Dr. Seyfried explores the role of oxidative stress, mitochondrial health, and glucose in cancer development and progression, along with his research on ketogenic diets as a promising solution to correct these imbalances. Den Stacey shares his journey of seeking guidance from the Hippocrates Research Foundation—ultimately becoming cancer-free. The Hippocrates Research Foundation team—Daniel Orrego, Dr. Gregory Howard, and Dr. Michelle Howard—discuss their research and their approach to guiding cancer patients by implementing a protocol designed to starve cancer while fueling the body.

Dr. Thomas Seyfried is an American professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry at Boston College. With over 150 peer-reviewed publications, his research focuses on the mechanisms driving cancer, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as the role of calorie-restricted ketogenic diets in their prevention and treatment. He is the author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer and serves on the editorial boards of Nutrition & Metabolism, Neurochemical Research, Journal of Lipid Research, and ASN Neuro.

In this episode, Dhru and his guests dive into:

• The role of mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer (04:05)

When we think of stress, we often associate it with something negative—something to avoid. Our modern culture has fostered an environment of persistent chronic stress, yet at the same time, we've also eliminated beneficial stress by designing a life of chronic ease. Today's guest joins us to explain why stress isn't just unavoidable—it’s essential for growth.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Jeff Krasno, CEO and co-founder of Commune, to explore the benefits of positive stress in our modern world. Jeff explains why chronic stress harms our health and longevity, while adaptive stress—like fasting and hot/cold exposure—has been key to human evolution and survival. He also shares how to evaluate your protocols, behaviors, and routines to ensure they keep you in balance.

Jeff is the co-founder and CEO of Commune, a masterclass platform focused on personal and societal well-being, and the co-creator of Wanderlust, a global series of wellness events. He also hosts the Commune podcast. His latest venture, Good Stress: The Benefits of Doing Hard Things, expands on his personal story and wellness protocols. Drawing from over 400 podcast conversations and his own experiences, the book explores deliberate, self-imposed behaviors that enhance social, psychological, and physical well-being. 

In this episode, Dhru and Jeff dive into:

• How chronic ease is leading to disease (00:37)
• How to befriend stress (5:44)
• Jeff’s personal journey and the health challenges that shaped him (09:50)

We used to think circadian rhythm only applied to sleep. But emerging science has revealed a link between our circadian rhythm and metabolism, cognition, risk for chronic diseases, and many other crucial aspects of our health. Our biology was designed to live in sync with a natural light-dark cycle, but modern-day society has disrupted this natural balance. 

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes with Dr. Satchin Panda. Dr. Panda dives deep into his groundbreaking circadian biology research and shares how leveraging your circadian rhythm can dramatically improve your sleep, lower your risk of chronic disease, and improve your cognitive function. They also discuss how time-restricted eating, exercise, and light can be used to help program your circadian rhythm and why it’s especially important for shift workers to take advantage of these tools. 

Dr. Panda is pioneering circadian biology research. He is a professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, a Pew Biomedical Scholar, founder of the UC San Diego Center for Circadian Biology, and recipient of the Julie Martin Mid-Career Award in Aging Research.

When it comes to weight loss, most people rely on the usual strategies—cutting calories and exercising more. But what happens when these methods don’t work? And how do we ensure we’re losing fat, not muscle? It’s time to rethink our approach. Instead of just focusing on the number on the scale, we should prioritize body recomposition—building a stronger, healthier body that supports longevity and resilience as we age.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we bring you a special compilation episode featuring Dhru's conversations with leading experts on why body composition is more important than your scale weight. 

Sal Di Stefano, Mind Pump co-founder and fitness expert, explains why body composition matters more than the number on the scale. He breaks down the most efficient and sustainable ways to exercise and highlights the crucial role muscle plays in overall health. Sal also reveals why lasting motivation for a healthier lifestyle must come from within. By adopting practical, sustainable strategies, we can boost energy, improve well-being, and achieve our fitness goals—all while promoting longevity.

JJ Virgin shares her top strategies for weight loss, muscle building, and vibrant aging, emphasizing the power of resistance training for sustained fat loss and the importance of tracking personal goals for long-term motivation.

Sal Di Stefano began his fitness journey at just 18, quickly rising to prominence as a trainer and opening some of the largest big-box gyms in the California Bay Area. By 24, he launched a wellness-focused fitness studio that combined expertise in hormones, nutrition, gut health, and fitness training. Today, Sal is a highly sought-after expert known for his practical, easy-to-apply insights. As co-host of the Mind Pump Podcast—the world’s top fitness and health podcast—he’s appeared on hundreds of leading shows and frequently speaks at events for trainers and health practitioners.

JJ Virgin is a renowned health and fitness expert, bestselling author, and prominent media personality. With over three decades of experience in the field, she has become a trusted authority in nutrition, weight loss, and wellness. She is the author of four New York Times bestsellers. Virgin actively contributes to the health and wellness community through speaking engagements, online programs, and her podcast, Well Beyond 40.

Political and social discussions have become increasingly divisive today, often leaving little room for nuance or open dialogue. Differing viewpoints are frequently shut down, met with hostility, or dismissed outright, despite the fact that real growth comes from curiosity and engaging with opposing perspectives. Today’s guest joins us to explore the courage it takes to question our beliefs, understand where they come from, and embrace complexity in a world that often demands rigid certainty.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with cultural commentator Kaizen Asiedu to explore the importance of understanding our beliefs, where they come from, and the courage it takes to question them. Kaizen shares his personal journey of challenging lifelong beliefs and embracing alternative perspectives. He also discusses how this willingness to question ideas is often missing in today’s political climate, where fear of dissent has led to tribalism and dehumanization. Additionally, he shares his insights on the MAHA movement, health and wellness discussions, and the concept of antifragility.

Kaizen Asiedu is a cultural commentator dedicated to empowering people by simplifying complex political and social issues into messages that leave listeners informed and appreciative of nuance. After earning a philosophy degree from Harvard, he entered the gaming industry, ultimately becoming Head of Global Esports Events at Riot Games. While leading the League of Legends World Championship and winning an Emmy, he felt a growing restlessness—a desire for a deeper, more personal purpose. Today, he helps high achievers who feel burnt out or lost transition from unfulfilling careers to meaningful work, whether as entrepreneurs or in roles that excite them as much as playing their favorite game or reading a beloved book.

In this episode, Dhru and Kaizen dive into:

• Recognizing that you are in the “Matrix” of living a life expected of you (00:00:25)
• The ideas Kaizen was called to question (2:50)
• Fear-based conditioning and morality (7:40)

There’s no denying that birth control has given women greater freedom and control over their fertility. However, many young girls and women have been on birth control for decades without fully understanding the long-term effects of hormone-altering medication. Today’s guest shares her research on birth control and provides key insights into its potential impact on long-term health and wellness.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Sarah Hill to discuss the impact of birth control on women’s health and brain function. Dr. Hill shares her personal journey with birth control and how it led her to research this topic. She reveals what her findings say about the long-term effects of birth control on the brain and explores alternative options for women. She also explains why informed consent should include comprehensive education on birth control’s potential impacts. Dr. Hill discusses her hopes for the future of women’s health and highlights the research still needed to provide women with accessible, well-informed options for managing their health and fertility.

Dr. Sarah Hill earned her PhD in evolutionary psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, where she studied under Dr. David Buss. She is currently a researcher and professor at TCU, the lead research advisor at 28, and a recognized thought leader in women’s hormones and sexual psychology. Her groundbreaking research has led to nearly 100 research publications. She is also the author of This Is Your Brain on Birth Control, which sheds critical new light on the psychological impact of women’s sex hormones and the birth control pill. Her upcoming book, The Period Brain, is set for release in September.
