Genetics vs Lifestyle: Heart Disease, DNA & Preventive Health | Dr Nickhil Jakatdar | The Human Thread
Your DNA could be influencing your health in ways you never imagined. And looking fit doesn’t mean you’re healthy.In Episode 97 of The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra sits down with Nickhil Jakatdar, Preventive Health Evangelist, to uncover the hidden side of human health — from silent heart disease and visceral fat to genetics, DNA and epigenetics. Nickhil shares the shocking personal experience that changed his understanding of health forever: despite being physically fit, playing competitive soccer and receiving reassuring routine blood test results, he discovered significant coronary artery disease at just 43. The conversation explores why basic health reports may not tell the whole story, how your genes can influence disease risk without determining your destiny, and how lifestyle choices can leave lasting marks on the body. From the surprising science of inherited biological changes to the role of genetics in medication responses, this episode challenges some of the biggest misconceptions about fitness, ageing and preventive healthcare. Because the real question isn’t just how healthy you look — it’s what’s happening inside your body that you cannot see.This episode explores how:* You can look perfectly healthy and still have hidden heart disease* Normal blood reports don’t always reveal the complete picture of your health* Your DNA may influence your health, but it isn’t necessarily your destiny* Your ancestors’ experiences may leave biological marks across generations* Visceral fat can hide behind a seemingly fit appearance* Genetics and lifestyle work together to influence disease risk* Genetic testing can reveal risks that routine tests may miss* Your genes may influence how your body responds to medication* Overtraining can sometimes work against your health goals* Preventive healthcare starts with understanding what’s happening inside your body* Healthspan may matter more than simply living longer New episodes drop every Tuesday on YouTube and major audio streaming platforms.Follow us for more:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehumanthread.podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thehumanthreadpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thehumanthread(Nickhil Jakatdar, The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra, Preventive Health Evangelist, DNA, Genetics, Epigenetics, Heart Disease, Silent Heart Disease, Genetic Testing, Preventive Healthcare, Visceral Fat, Insulin Resistance, Coronary Artery Disease, Heart Health, Pharmacogenomics, Longevity, Healthspan, Lifespan, The Human Thread Podcast)

Life, Love, Success & the Art of Letting Go | Muni Shri Aditya Sagar Ji | The Human Thread
You can have money, success, fame, relationships — and still feel like something is missing. Why?In Episode 95 of The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra sits down with Muni Aditya Sagar Ji, a Digambar Jain monk, for a deep exploration of why human beings struggle to feel satisfied. From his own journey of leaving behind a successful career and choosing the path of renunciation, he shares why he came to see happiness differently — not as something created by achieving more, but as something connected to how one lives within.The conversation explores the endless cycle of desire, the illusion of permanence, attachment, forgiveness, frustration and self-control. Muni Aditya Sagar Ji also offers an unconventional perspective on death, arguing that accepting mortality can change the way life itself is experienced. Rather than presenting spirituality as withdrawal from the world, the conversation asks whether true spiritual growth is about learning to live with greater awareness, responsibility and inner discipline.At its heart, this episode asks: What if the life you are chasing is not the life that will make you happy?This episode explores how:* Why success can still leave you searching* Why the human mind is rarely satisfied* The endless cycle of desire and consumption* Attachment and its impact on inner freedom* The difference between forgiveness and suppressed anger* Why some relationships require both forgiveness and distance* Why nothing in life is permanent* Why self-control is harder than controlling circumstances* How accepting death can transform the way you live* Why focusing on your own journey may be the beginning of peace New episodes drop every Tuesday on YouTube and major audio streaming platforms.Follow us for more:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehumanthread.podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thehumanthreadpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thehumanthread(Muni Aditya Sagar Ji, Digambar Jain Monk, Jainism, Jain Philosophy, The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra, Happiness, Success, Spirituality, Detachment, Attachment, Forgiveness, Self Control, Desire, Contentment, Impermanence, Death, Human Psychology, The Human Thread Podcast)

Fear, ego & the psychology behind human behaviour | Ritu David | The Human Thread
Fear holds us back. Ego makes us want to be right. Together, they shape more of our lives than we realise.In Episode 94 of The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra sits down with Ritu David, Founder of The Data Duck, for a wide-ranging conversation on human behaviour, radicalisation, consumer psychology, cultural conditioning, fear, ego and the hidden forces that influence our decisions.From war zones and campaign rooms to boardrooms and businesses, Ritu shares how understanding human behaviour means looking beyond what people do and asking what drives them. She explores how fear, shame, purpose, money and belonging can influence radicalisation, and how understanding these deeper needs can change the way we approach the problem.The conversation then moves into consumer behaviour, cultural conditioning and decision-making — exploring why people want what they want, how their environment shapes their beliefs, and why the same fears and instincts can exist across completely different cultures.Ritu also reflects on ego and the need to be right, sharing why having the right solution is only part of the challenge — sometimes the bigger challenge is getting people to move towards it together.At its heart, this episode is an exploration of the forces beneath human behaviour — the fears, needs, beliefs and egos that quietly shape the way we think, choose and act.This episode explores how:Fear and ego influence human behaviourRadicalisation can be connected to purpose, belonging and unmet needsConsumer behaviour is shaped by more than rational choicesCultural conditioning influences how people think and behaveUnderstanding the “why” can reveal what lies beneath the problemThe need to be right can sometimes get in the way of the right solutionBeneath different cultures, many human fears and instincts remain the same New episodes drop every Tuesday on YouTube and major audio streaming platforms.Follow us for more:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehumanthread.podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thehumanthreadpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thehumanthread(Ritu David, The Data Doc, The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra, Human Behaviour, Fear, Ego, Radicalisation, Consumer Psychology, Cultural Conditioning, Psychology, Decision Making, Behavioural Science, Human Psychology, The Human Thread Podcast)

Are you self-aware or actually Self- obsessed | BK Ritu Thakkar | The Human Thread
The way we experience life is shaped not only by what happens around us, but by the consciousness through which we see it.In Episode 93 of The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra sits down with BK Ritu Thakkar, Spiritual Author, for a deep conversation on spirituality, consciousness, self-awareness, ego, triggers, surrender and the patterns that shape our experiences.From understanding consciousness as a combination of our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, judgments and beliefs to exploring why a 10-second interaction can stay in our minds for hours, Ritu reflects on how our inner patterns influence the way we respond to people and situations. She also explores the difference between role consciousness and soul consciousness, why spirituality can sometimes make life more complicated, and what difficult situations can teach us about ourselves.The conversation then moves into deeper questions around surrender, attachment and spiritual growth — why surrender is not simply letting things happen, but doing what needs to be done while releasing attachment to the results.At its heart, this episode is an exploration of how becoming aware of our consciousness, triggers and patterns can change the way we experience ourselves, others and life.This episode explores how:Spirituality can change the way we understand human behaviourConsciousness is shaped by thoughts, feelings, perceptions, judgments and beliefsOur roles and identities can influence the way we see ourselvesSoul consciousness can help us see situations without the bias of egoDifficult situations can reveal patterns and beliefs within usOur triggers can reveal deeper emotional patternsA 10-second interaction can create hours of thoughts and emotionsWe often interpret other people’s behaviour through our own triggersOur perception can shape how we experience the same situationSpiritual growth involves becoming aware of our inner patternsDifficult experiences can become opportunities for reflection and learningTrue surrender is more than simply letting things beSurrender involves taking action while releasing attachment to the resultsOur beliefs can be tested through the situations we encounterSpirituality can shift our consciousness and change our relationship with life New episodes drop every Tuesday on YouTube and major audio streaming platforms.Follow us for more:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehumanthread.podcastYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thehumanthreadpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thehumanthread(BK Ritu Thakkar, The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra, Spiritual Author, Spirituality, Consciousness, Self Awareness, Ego, Soul Consciousness, Spiritual Growth, Emotional Triggers, Triggers, Surrender, Inner Patterns, Mindfulness, Inner Growth, Personal Growth, Spiritual Journey, The Human Thread Podcast)

Meditation, Spirituality & Naturopathy: Lessons on healthy living | Gurumaa Yogita Khatri
We don’t have a knowledge problem. We have a problem of living what we already know.In Episode 92 of The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra sits down with Gurumaa Yogita Khatri, Yoga & Naturopathy Expert, Wellness Educator, Motivational Speaker, Honorary Member, CCRYN, Ministry of AYUSH, for a thought-provoking conversation on spirituality, discipline, meditation, health, parenting and the deeper connection between how we think and how we live.This isn’t a conversation about learning more. It’s about applying what we already know.We all know we should sleep better, exercise, meditate, eat well, spend less time scrolling and take care of ourselves. But knowing the right thing is only the beginning. Real change demands discipline, consistency and the willingness to make our own lives a priority.This episode explores how:• Spirituality becomes a mirror that makes us confront our ego, attachments, conditioning and contradictions.• Discipline creates consistency — turning intentions into habits and habits into transformation.• Change is inevitable, yet accepting real change can be one of the hardest things we face.• Meditation is not simply a practice we schedule; it is about bringing awareness into everyday life.• Lasting transformation begins from within and moves outward.• Children learn more from what they see than what they are told — making our own actions the most powerful form of teaching.• Naturopathy encourages us to reconnect with the body’s natural processes and understand health beyond simply treating symptoms.A conversation that goes beyond what we know to explore what we actually do with that knowledge.
