In a world that often emphasizes fear—whether through political institutions, media narratives, or rigid societal rules—it’s easy to slip into a mindset of separation and alienation. However, when we let fear guide our perceptions, we build walls around ourselves, and these walls, though invisible, can create tangible suffering. Many wise healers throughout history, such as Lao Tzu and Rumi, have reminded us that fear clouds our ability to see others clearly, and more importantly, it clouds our ability to see ourselves. Lao Tzu warned, “He who controls others may be powerful, but he wh…

In my years as a physician and integrative health expert, I’m often asked why I left medicine as society views it, as my work has expanded beyond the walls of traditional medical practice. For me, medicine has never been confined to treating symptoms or prescribing medications; rather, I view medicine as life itself — a dynamic, interconnected system where everything is part of a larger whole.Medicine, for me, is not just a profession; it is a lens through which I understand and engage with the world. The principles that govern the human body are the same principles that govern the ecosyst…

The essence of emotional intelligence lies in our ability to feel our emotions fully, yet not be overtaken by them. There’s immense power in allowing ourselves to experience the full spectrum of emotions — from joy to sorrow, from excitement to fear — because each emotion carries a message. However, to harness this power, we must also develop the skill of stepping outside our emotions, observing them with compassion and curiosity, yet unattachment. This mindful approach allows us to engage with our emotions constructively, turning them into tools for Growth rather than sources of turmoil…

In an increasingly complex and unpredictable world, resilience has emerged as a vital skill for leaders seeking to navigate challenges, inspire teams, and foster sustainable growth. Resilience is not only the capacity to endure hardship but also the ability to adapt, recover, and thrive in the face of adversity. In my work with executives and leaders globally, I have witnessed firsthand how building resilience can transform not just individuals, but entire organizations — elevating productivity, enhancing job satisfaction, and supporting healthier, more balanced lives.Why Resilience Matters …

In today’s dynamic work environments, we often hear that leaders need to be strong, decisive, and goal-oriented. While these traits are indeed important, one aspect of leadership is frequently overlooked—the ability to be self-aware and to feel. Many of us think of emotions as something to be controlled or even avoided, especially in professional settings. But in my work with leaders, I’ve seen how essential self-awareness and emotional intelligence are for leading with authenticity, compassion, decisiveness, and effectiveness.Why Self-Awareness Matters in LeadershipSelf-awareness is mo…

As humans, we’ve consensually defined and accepted many truths: an apple is an apple, the sky is blue. But what if our realities are merely agreements? What if that ‘apple’ is, in another dimension, a tool for dental hygiene? Sounds far-fetched? Quantum physics, with its multiple realities and observer effects, hints at a more expansive truth.Our collective understanding shapes our reality. When we can’t comprehend something, it gets labeled as ‘magical’ or ‘unreal.’ Yet, quantum physics suggests that what’s ‘real’ extends beyond our collective agreement.Imagine if humani…

The outcome is uncertain and a wrong decision by you, could have a tremendous negative impact on your company. How do you handle the situation? Decision making under uncertainty Leaders face such type of high-risk decision making regularly. Though some leaders manage the stress fairly well, others fall prey to making poor decisions and/or suffer physically and mentally from the effects of the high stress. Indeed, this stress is a chief reason so…

We now live in a world where technology has taken over the need to be outdoors or connected to nature. We rarely move our bodies and to eat, we drive through fast view venues to eat food that is processed and high in sugar to satisfy our addictions while our bellies grow. It is no surprise that there is a rise now of Diabetes, obesity, metabolic disorders, heart disease and cancers. The good news is that not all is lost and we do indeed have the ability to get back to nature by eating the right foods that will regenerate our health. Nature offers us a variety of foods that have many beneficial…

Whether it’s due to hormonal fluctuations, changes in the seasons, shifts in the microbiome, or a concerted effort to snack less and maintain a healthier weight, we all go through periods of time when we’re hungry—all. the. time. And it can be an internal debate: Should you give in or not? It’s never a good idea to restrict yourself, mostly because it can end up leading to bingeing. But it can also be hard to see what, exactly, is leading to this insatiable hunger. Why don’t you feel satisfied? Diets don’t typically work, and ultimately, there are better ways to curb your appetite…

When it comes to your health, it’s important to get your fat facts straight. And this is easier said than done, as there’s a lot of misinformation out there about dietary fat and what’s healthy or not. When I was 9 or 10 years old, I remember that we weren’t allowed to keep butter or other foods that are high in fat in the house because my dad had heart problems and high cholesterol. I remember we were encouraged to eat egg whites (versus the whole eggs), drink low-fat milk, and use margarine instead of real butter. Those were the 1980s, when a low-fat Diet was the rule if we wanted t…
