PCOS, hormones & the detox myth | Dr. Umesh Wadhavani | The Human Thread

The wellness industry has made millions believe their bodies need fixing. What if the real problem is the advice we've been following?In Episode 81 of The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra sits down with diet coach Dr. Umesh Wadhavani to challenge some of the most deeply held beliefs about nutrition, hormones and modern wellness. From detoxes, intermittent fasting and weight loss to PCOS, thyroid health and emotional eating, he explains why health has become increasingly complicated-not because the body is difficult to understand, but because misinformation has become easier to sell than science.Drawing from nutrition science, psychology and years of clinical experience, Dr. Wadhavani argues that our bodies are remarkably intelligent. He explores why detox is often unnecessary, why no single food is responsible for good or bad health, why hormones are frequently misunderstood, and why sustainable health begins with sleep, movement, balanced nutrition and stress management-not quick fixes or restrictive diets.This conversation goes beyond food to explore a deeper question: Have we become so obsessed with optimising our bodies that we've forgotten how to understand them?This episode explores how:detox has become one of the biggest myths in modern wellnessintermittent fasting is a tool, not a miracle solutionhormones influence health but don't define your futureemotional eating often begins with unmanaged stressPCOS, thyroid and insulin resistance require understanding-not fearnutrition is about consistency, not restrictionhome-cooked food is only healthy when it's balancedprotein, sleep and movement matter more than health trendsthe body is designed to regulate and heal when given the right conditionslasting health begins with knowledge, not marketing New episode drops every Tuesday on YouTube and major audio streaming platforms.Follow us for more:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehumanthread.podcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@thehumannthreadFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thehumanthread(The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra, Dr. Umesh Wadhavani, Nutrition, Diet Coach, Weight Loss, Detox, Intermittent Fasting, Hormones, PCOS, Thyroid, Emotional Eating, Healthy Eating, Wellness, Nutrition Science, Mental Health, Health Podcast, Psychology Podcast)
