How have you changed your mind when presented with new information? This is one of my favorite questions to ask experts on my podcast. Their answers provide deep insight into their thought process and demonstrate openness and flexibility in adapting to the latest scientific research. 

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we have a special compilation episode featuring Dhru’s conversations with several guests about what they’ve changed their minds about in health and wellness. Mark Sisson shares his thoughts on supplementation, exercising smarter, and doubling down on the basics. Cynthia Thurlow discusses why she has changed her approach to fasting and how age and gender play a role in determining its benefits. She also explains why she started prioritizing strength training after turning 50. Thomas shares his insights on why fasting is both overrated and underrated and how it affects weight loss.

 

I hope you enjoyed this conversation as much as I did.
Wishing you health and happiness.
