In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Arti Thangudu, a triple board-certified endocrinologist who’s on a mission to change the way we think about hormones and health. She breaks down what endocrinology is all about and explains why hormones play such a huge role in our overall well-being.

Dr. Arti gets real about some of the most common health conditions she treats — from diabetes and thyroid disorders to high blood pressure and cholesterol. And she doesn’t shy away from discussing the stigma around obesity. She talks about why we need better access to weight loss medications, especially GLP-1 receptor agonists (Ozempic), and how these can be game-changers for managing both diabetes and obesity.

And friends, it’s not just about meds! Dr. Arti is all about building strong foundations with sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management. She shares her tips on how to be your own advocate in the healthcare system, especially when dealing with insurance companies that don’t always make it easy. 

Dr. Arti wraps things up with a heartfelt reminder to celebrate every win — no matter how small — and to always try seeing ourselves through the eyes of the people who love us most. Whether you’re dealing with a chronic condition, advocating for yourself, or just looking to feel a little better each day, this conversation is packed with practical advice and encouragement.

Tune in and get ready to take charge of your health journey and find Dr. Arti at drartithangudu!

Vaishali Patel, founder of Sanskar Teaching, and one of my most kind and dear friends, shares her journey of growing up in India and immigrating to the United States at the age of 16.

She talks about the challenges of assimilating into a new culture, recognizing the importance of preserving Indian culture and connecting generations, and the beauty of her journey of embracing her heritage through the power of tradition and language. 

Without intentionally setting out to do so, Vaishali and I end up connecting so deeply on the topic of... you guessed it... BOUNDARIES!

As you are all aware, it is a topic near and dear to my heart and one that I will never stop preaching about. Vaishali has a refreshing and unique take on how language can either help or hinder the way our intended message is received, ultimately impacting the strength of our relationships and communication.

This conversation spoke to my heart, and I know it will resonate with so many of you as well!
