    Sleep, Circadian Rhythm and The Science Behind Deep Rest for Holistic Health
    Feb 20 2026
    Today, we’re talking about sleep. Not the “I’ll sleep when I’m done” kind, but the kind that actually keeps you sharp, calm, and functioning. If you’ve been running on coffee, stuck in hustle mode, or waking up already tired, this one’s for you. We get into what’s really happening in your brain at night from clearing out mental clutter to processing emotions. so you understand why good sleep changes everything. We also talk about circadian rhythm, late-night scrolling, caffeine, and a few simple shifts like treating your bedroom like a cave and creating a small “digital sunset” before bed. Nothing extreme. Just practical things that help you wind down without forcing it. Tonight, instead of saying “I have to sleep,” try thinking, “I’m investing in tomorrow.” Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Why Monitoring Flu, RSV & STIs Matters More Than You Think

    Why Monitoring Flu, RSV & STIs Matters More Than You Think
    Feb 13 2026
    In this episode of Healthwise, Kartik breaks down what infectious diseases really are and why they are not just occasional health scares, but a constant part of our lives. From seasonal flu outbreaks to the lesser-discussed Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), the conversation explores how these infections spread in our hyper-connected world, why early monitoring is crucial, and how simple actions like staying home when sick or wearing a mask can prevent larger community outbreaks. The episode also explains why flu vaccines are needed yearly and how public health tracking works like a weather forecast helping us prepare rather than panic. The discussion then moves to often-avoided but equally important topics like Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), highlighting the dangers of asymptomatic transmission and the role of regular testing, honesty, and education. It also addresses vaccine effectiveness, herd immunity, and the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. At its core, this episode is about awareness, responsibility, and understanding that small everyday decisions about hygiene, vaccination, timely testing have a powerful impact on protecting not just ourselves, but the entire community.

    Why Muscle is Your Most Underappreciated Metabolic Organ?
    Feb 6 2026
    Are you tired of the cycle of shame that comes with tracking your health through a negative lens? In this episode Kartik is trying to figure out the psychological shift from "less" (weight, food, energy) to "more" (strength, capability, vitality). This episode covers the two pillars of the Muscle Revolution: Progressive Overload and Protein. We’ll discuss the "Grocery Store Test" for functional longevity, why lifting weights won't make women "bulky," and how muscle serves as the ultimate armor for your bones. Learn why muscle is your best defense against heart disease and how "Skinny Fat" (TOFI) can be just as metabolically dangerous as clinical obesity. It’s time to stop shrinking your body and start growing your potential. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
