In today’s episode, we have Sonia Narang, Holistic Health & Nutrition Expert, to break down health, nutrition, sleep, and weight loss in a way that actually makes sense.
We talk about when fasting works and when it doesn’t, roti vs rice for the body, and where real skin glow comes from topical creams or gut health. Sonia also explains how deep sleep cleanses the brain, what actually happens during “brain detox,” and how phone usage silently disrupts your sleep cycle.

The conversation goes deeper into why you should avoid your phone an hour before bed, how the 4-3-2-1 sleep cycle works, how reading can improve sleep quality, and what habits truly matter before sleeping. We also talk about why weight loss doesn’t happen unless the brain sends the right signals, what emotional eating really means, why you can feel full yet still hungry, and what happens to your body if you eat the same food for three months. This episode connects food, sleep, brain signals, and behavior giving you a holistic framework for better health.

Hamare pyare Maharashtra mein rice rice Sone se bhi mahanga milta Hai hotel aur restaurant mein ek plate agar rice lete Hain to uske sath daal bhi nahin dete Hain daal alag se Lena padta hai quantity to itni dethe Hain ki South Indian wale 10 plate Kha ke bhi Dakar nahin marenge normal Insan price to itna kam sirf 150 rupaye

  2. Hi Raj,

    I wanted to share a thought. We often hear a lot about “sleep well,” “get 7–8 hours of sleep,” “deep sleep,” and maintaining a proper sleep routine. But there isn’t much discussion about people who work rotating shifts.

    Many workers in manufacturing, hospitals, logistics, security, aviation, etc. have to change their shifts every 15 or 30 days — sometimes from morning to night and then back again. For them, maintaining a fixed sleep routine, meal timing, exercise, and healthy habits can be quite difficult.

    It would be really useful if you could cover a topic on how rotating-shift workers can manage sleep, diet, exercise, and their daily routine, especially when their shift changes every few weeks.

    I think this is an important topic for a large number of working people that doesn’t get enough attention.

  3. Imagine if she is a teacher. She really explained well every difficult thing with scientific fact without any doubts … it's shows her experience and why she is at podcast because she deserves it 🤗👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

  4. how to maintain sleeping ritual with a small kid 2.5 yr old ..if he still wants to play at night and every day sleeps at 1.30 am..to maintain sleeping rituals is very difficult to maintain in joint family ..though we are sleeping in different personal room and my husband snoring disturbing me and my kid when we sleep

  5. Sab apna apna fame banane ke chakkar mein pade huye hai sahi jankari koi nahi de raha koi kehta roti chhod do koi kehta nahi chhodo sab view ke chakkar mein hai

  6. Mam I really like ur talks but talking abt fermented food u excluded abt northeast n there are hundreds of fermented things in north east… instead talking abt foreign countries leaving ur own country. Pls do more research n homework mam

  7. After listen this podcast im just thinking ki ajj ke time me sach me scam ho raha ha
    Recently i saw a celebrity dietician post about his clients loosing 5-6 kgs in months then whats true

  8. Hi, the best thing about this podcast is the way she explains the brain topic and how sleep is important for all of us, especially parents who consume more social media and devices than any one of us in our families.
