🎙️ What is Hormetic Stress—and Why Do You Need It?🌿
Did you know that certain types of stress can actually strengthen your body and improve your health? This is the concept of hormetic stress where controlled, short term stressors like exercise, fasting, or even exposure to heat and cold activate your body’s natural resilience mechanisms.
💡 As Karin G. Reiter, @karingojiberry ,explains:
“Exercise is a hormetic stress. It puts your body through stress, and if balanced correctly, it makes you stronger. The same goes for fasting, heat exposure, or antioxidants. The key is finding the right balance—too much stress is harmful, and too little isn’t enough to make a difference.”
✨ This idea of balance is crucial for building strength, immunity, and long term health.
🎧 Want to dive deeper? In our *Episode 34, Karin shares practical tips on using hormetic stress to:
- Strengthen your immune system.
- Improve recovery and resilience.
- Build sustainable health practices.

🎙️ Can supplements really rival exercise when it comes to living longer?
In our latest episode of The Wellness Hood, Kamil Pabis, a scientist on the cutting edge of aging research, shares some surprising insights:
💡 “Some supplements have a similar strength of evidence to exercise when it comes to mortality and cancer incidence. For example, vitamin D and fish oil show small but measurable benefits—putting them in the same league as exercise.”
But it doesn’t stop there. Kamil dives into fascinating findings from his work with mice:
🐭 Taurine and spermidine—two compounds that outperform exercise in animal studies! While human evidence is still emerging, the potential is exciting.
This is just a glimpse of Kamil’s scientific approach to longevity. He unpacks everything from supplements and biohacking to mitochondrial health, cutting-edge research, and practical takeaways.

🎙️ Scarcity vs. Abundance Mindset: Which One Are You Living In?
What’s holding you back from financial wellness? It might be a scarcity mindset—the belief that there’s only so much to go around. It’s rooted in fear: fear of not having enough, fear that good fortune won’t come twice, or fear that someone else’s success means your loss.
But here’s the game changer 👉 An abundance mindset shifts the focus from fear to love. It’s about recognising there’s enough for everyone—enough success, enough clients, enough opportunities. With this mindset, you can spend, share, and give freely, knowing that good things will come back to you.
✨ Imagine viewing money not as something to hoard, but as a tool for impact, growth, and generosity. That’s where true financial wellness begins.

What Does Alcohol do for You?
In this week’s episode of The Wellness Hood, @jeremyauz shares his candid reflections on why he minimised alcohol 5 years ago. From recognising the hidden calories and poor sleep to the ripple effects it had on productivity and quality time with his kids, Jeremy’s decision was driven by the bigger picture of health and life balance.
He reminds us that cutting back on alcohol isn’t about losing out on fun—it’s about gaining more energy, focus, and time for the things that truly matter.
Take a moment to reflect: How does alcohol impact your health, sleep, and goals? Is it helping or holding you back?

🌬️ Breathing Better = Feeling Better 🦷
In Episode 45 of The Wellness Hood, @drsurinderarora shares her personal experience as a former mouth breather and how improving her breathing has transformed her energy levels. "I've used appliance therapy, taped at night, and done exercises to get my tongue on the palate, lips together, and breathe through my nose—and it’s made such a difference to my energy levels." 🌟
But the benefits of nasal breathing go beyond just feeling more energetic. Mouth breathing can lead to upper airway resistance and even sleep apnoea, where we stop breathing intermittently during sleep, causing oxygen levels to drop. This can result in chronic fatigue and long-term health issues.
Dr Arora explains how small changes, like focusing on nasal breathing, can improve your overall health and wellbeing. She also delves into holistic dentistry, nutrition's role in dental health, and why your breathing habits matter more than you think.

Why Are Boys Falling Behind? 🤔
🎙️ "Boys are struggling academically, partly because they develop at a different rate than girls. Their brains and abilities are on a different trajectory, yet academic expectations remain the same." - Dr. Emma Waddington

In our latest episode of The Wellness Hood, Dr. Emma Waddington and I explore how we can better support boys academically and emotionally, why creating a safer world for girls benefits everyone and more!

Sharing some great memories from when @danielrama_ was here in Singapore for a workshop. During our time together, one of his quotes really stood out:
'All asanas are easy, some just need more practice.'
Such a powerful reminder that what may seem difficult at first can become effortless with dedication and patience.
Daniel also spoke about the importance of embracing learning as a lifelong journey:
'The point is to make learning the crave, the pursuit. If we talk neuroplasticity—you get better at learning by learning, it's a skill. If you nurture that, you will constantly be evolving.'
This really resonated with me. The idea that growth is continuous, and by honing the ability to learn, we keep evolving in all areas of life.
In our conversation, episode 23, we dive into Daniel’s incredible journey—starting with a serious injury that first brought him to yoga, his time living in an ashram in the Caribbean, and how he became a world-renowned teacher. We also explore how yoga is more than just fancy poses; it's about inner connection, self-awareness, and breaking big goals into manageable steps. Daniel opens up about balancing a life of service with the need for self-recognition, and how intentional communities shaped his worldview.
We did have a few technical hiccups, but we managed to save the episode! It’s a raw and honest conversation full of wisdom and insights. Tune in for more!

Understanding Your Hormonal Cycles with @_taraghosh_
In this clip, Tara Ghosh, a certified women’s health coach and menstrual health expert, sheds light on something so important but often overlooked—the natural cycles of our hormones.
Tara breaks down how, unlike men whose energy cycles reset daily, women’s hormones follow a 29-day cycle, much like the moon. There are times when we’re more energetic and other times when our bodies crave rest. And yet, in today’s culture, we often feel shame or guilt for needing rest, thinking it makes us "weak."
But understanding this natural rhythm affects everything—our energy, hunger, sleep, and even social needs. Tara’s passionate about ensuring every woman understands this to truly honour their body’s needs.
Want to dive deeper into all things menstrual health? 💡 In this episode, we explore your body’s changes through every stage of life—from the first period to menopause—and how to support your health at each phase.
