When a conversation starts with the unstoppable energy of Vishal Malhotra, you know you’re stepping into something special. From his iconic characters to his spontaneous humour and larger-than-life storytelling, the episode kicks off with pure Vishal-style chaos and charm. And for me, it was an absolute pleasure to be a guest on this unforgettable podcast.
Sitting across from Vishal, we moved effortlessly from laughter and nostalgia into a deep, meaningful conversation about the one thing that connects us all — our health. In this episode, I break down metabolism, hormones, gut health, sexual wellness, diabetes reversal and the science behind sustainable lifestyle change, all while matching the incredible energy Vishal brings to the mic. Every time I sit down for a podcast conversation, my goal is simple: help people understand their bodies better. Nutrition is not just about eating clean. It is about decoding how your body responds, how your genes behave, how your gut communicates, and how your daily choices either support or sabotage your long-term health.
This blog brings together the key insights from that conversation in a clear and practical way.
Understanding Your Metabolism
Most people blame age for slow metabolism, but in my practice, I see a very different reality. Poor sleep, stress, irregular eating, high-sugar diets and gut imbalance are the real causes. When your lifestyle is chaotic, the body protects itself by slowing down. The good news is that metabolism is not a fixed number. You can retrain it.
Why Protein Matters More Than You Think
One of the biggest gaps I see in Indian diets is protein. When you ignore protein, four problems show up.Low energy, slow recovery, weaker immunity and nonstop cravings.Once people increase protein, they notice that they snack less, train better and lose weight more naturally. You do not need supplements to fix this. You simply need to hit your recommended intake through smart choices throughout the day.
Tracking Your Body Is Not Obsession
A lot of people feel guilty about monitoring their health. I say the opposite. Track without shame. Whether it is blood glucose, heart rate variability, gut tests or genetics, data removes confusion. When you understand your numbers, your habits become intentional. Weight loss becomes predictable and progress becomes measurable.
The Truth About Sugar Spikes
Everyone reacts differently to food. A bowl of rice may crash one person and energize another. Continuous glucose monitoring shows this in real time. The key takeaway is simple. If a food causes a spike, reduce it, change the quantity or pair it more intelligently. Over time, these small adjustments reshape insulin health, metabolic performance and even mood.
Gut Health Is the Foundation
Your gut is not just digestion. It influences hormones, immunity, brain function and even behaviour.When gut bacteria are imbalanced, you feel it. Gas, bloating, fatigue, skin issues, weight gain.Fixing gut health requires patience. Fibre, fermented foods, hydration, better meal timing and reducing processed food create the foundation. Once the gut resets, everything else improves.
Sexual Health, Hormones and Nutrition
We also touched on sexual health because it is one of the most common concerns people hesitate to speak about. Low libido, poor performance, infertility and hormonal fluctuations are often connected to stress, nutritional deficiencies, high sugar intake and poor sleep. With the right testing and tailored nutrition, these issues improve significantly.
What I Tell Every Client
Health is not about perfection. It is about awareness.When you understand why you eat, how you sleep, how you recover and what your body is trying to tell you, discipline becomes easier. You stop following diets blindly and start making decisions that fit your biology. That is how real transformation happens.
My mission is not to give shortcuts. It is to teach people how their body actually works. When you understand metabolism, hormones, gut health and nutrition as one integrated system, you unlock a better version of yourself. More energy, better mood, sharper focus, deeper sleep and a body that performs the way it was designed to.
If this conversation helps even one person live with more awareness, I consider that a win. Watch now!
