There are many misconceptions about what it takes to lead a healthy lifestyle. But the truth is, you don’t need fancy supplements, an expensive gym membership, or to follow a niche diet in order to be healthy. In fact, the biggest returns on health are often simple, free, or low cost—we just need guidance getting started on the journey.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Shawn Stevenson to discuss the top mistakes, misconceptions, and confusion people face when setting out on their health journeys. Shawn shares the importance of the family unit in creating wellness and why cooking at home, ditching ultra-processed foods, and nurturing our relationships are critical for optimizing health and longevity.
