Everything You Know About health Is WRONG ft Dr Mickey Mehta
What if there is something more powerful than strength training for your health?
What if being strict with your children makes them emotionally weaker adults?
In this conversation, Dr Mickey Mehta questions the habits we never stop to question.
In this thought-provoking conversation, Mickey Mehta shares why real health goes far beyond workouts, discipline, and willpower. He explains why yoga is not just physical practice but a way of calming the mind, regulating the nervous system, and learning how to live with awareness.
We explore why excessive focus on strength training can disconnect us from our bodies, why parents don’t need to be strict to raise resilient children, and how empathy and compassion play a direct role in mental and physical well-being. Mickey also connects everyday habits : digestion, bowel movements, posture, breath, presence, even how men should sit and pee to stress, gut health, and long-term wellness.
This episode is about slowing down in a world addicted to speed, being present in a culture obsessed with productivity, and developing an open mind instead of rigid rules. If you’re tired of surface-level health advice and want to understand the deeper connection between the mind, body, and lifestyle, this conversation will make you pause and reflect.
