Uncover Your Eyes: The Truth About Health And Wellness

Chronic diseases now affect nearly 6 in 10 adults — and they're no longer just adult diseases. Type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, and inflammatory conditions are rising in children. Yet research suggests that up to 80% of common chronic diseases are preventable, and many are even reversible, when we address root causes instead of just symptoms. So why are we seeing them earlier than ever? After more than 20 years in emergency medicine, Dr. Ritu Saluja-Sharma began noticing a troubling pattern: preventable diseases were filling hospital beds — and showing up younger and younger. In this episode of Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Dr. Saluja-Sharma, double board-certified physician trained in Lifestyle Medicine, to unpack why this is happening. 🎯 You'll uncover: ✅ Why chronic diseases are increasing in children ✅ Which diseases are actually preventable or reversible ✅ How late is too late to reverse damage ✅ The #1 principle she teaches about food and nutrition ✅ How to help kids build a healthy relationship with food ✅ The 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine ✅ The biggest driver of long-term health and longevity   If you've ever wondered: "Why are adult diseases showing up in kids?" "Is it really reversible?" "Is it too late for me?" This conversation will challenge what you've been told about chronic illness, food, prevention, and personal responsibility. Because what if chronic disease isn't inevitable — but environmental?

Sudden vision loss is not normal — and it's not something to "wait and see." If you've ever experienced a dark curtain, shadow, blur, or sudden vision change, this episode could be life-saving. In this episode of the Uncover Your Eyes podcast, Dr. Meenal Agarwal breaks down one of the most missed medical emergencies she sees in clinical practice: ocular stroke, a critical warning sign of serious vascular disease and future stroke risk. An ocular stroke is often the first red flag before a larger, more devastating neurological event.

The average person now spends the last 16 years of life battling at least one chronic disease. That's not healthspan, that's survival. In this powerful episode of the Uncover Your Eyes podcast, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Dr. Anurag Singh, Chief Medical Officer of Timeline and a leading expert in mitochondrial health, mitophagy, and longevity science, recorded live at the Eudēmonia Summit. Dr. Singh explains why mounting scientific evidence points to mitochondrial dysfunction, specifically impaired mitophagy, as a central driver of aging and chronic disease. Mitophagy is the critical cellular process of clearing out damaged mitochondria so healthier ones can function efficiently. When this process slows, cellular "trash" accumulates, energy production declines, and disease risk rises. In this episode, we explore how supporting the mitophagy phase of mitochondrial health may influence inflammation, neurodegeneration, metabolic disease, and overall resilience as we age. 🎯 You'll uncover: ✅ How the mitochondrial lifecycle works and the three key phases that matter for health ✅ Why mitophagy declines with age and what that means for energy, pain, and inflammation ✅ How impaired mitophagy is linked to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other diseases of aging ✅ The role and sources of Urolithin A and who may benefit from it ✅ Why menopause can accelerate mitochondrial decline ✅ How athletes stress, and support, their mitochondria differently ✅ The #1 evidence-backed biohack to support mitochondrial health This episode bridges longevity science, preventive medicine, and patient advocacy, offering a clearer understanding of why symptoms matter and what your cells may be trying to tell you. Whether you're a healthcare provider, wellness or nutrition professional, athlete, patient, parent, or simply curious about the future of medicine, this conversation will change how you think about aging, disease, and healing. At Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal explores the hidden biological systems shaping how we feel, move, think, and heal, empowering listeners with science, clarity, and self-advocacy. 🎧 Tune in and join Dr. Meenal Agarwal as we reimagine what it means to be well in today's complex healthcare system.

Are aging, chronic pain, and inflammation truly inevitable or have we been approaching them the wrong way? What if the future of medicine isn't about stronger medications, repeated steroid injections, or masking symptoms, but about removing inflammation, restoring biological signaling, and helping the body relearn how to heal? In this powerful episode of the Uncover Your Eyes podcast, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Dr. Chris Renna, founder of LifeSpan Medicine, and one of the world's leading voices in longevity and regenerative medicine. Over the last decade, elite athletes from Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods to professional soccer and NFL players have quietly sought out treatments most people have never heard of, including Regenokine, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and advanced biologic therapies. Many traveled overseas after being told their pain, inflammation, or decline was simply "part of aging." In this conversation, we ask a different question: What if it doesn't have to be? 🎯 You'll uncover: ✅ The real pros and cons of steroids in pain management and why they may impair long-term healing ✅ How biologic therapies like PRP and Regenokine actually work inside the body ✅ Why inflammation is often a signal problem, not just a wear-and-tear issue ✅ Powerful patient recovery stories that challenge conventional timelines of aging ✅ Why elite athletes seek regenerative approaches long before the general public ✅ How AI and precision medicine may transform the future of pain and longevity care This episode blends healthcare education, physical health, mental health, self-advocacy, and wellness, offering a deeper understanding of the biology driving pain, inflammation, and aging, and why listening to symptoms matters. Whether you're a healthcare provider, wellness or nutrition professional, patient, parent, or someone curious about the future of medicine, this episode will help you see your health and your body more clearly.

Up to 90% of people today show signs of chronic nervous system dysregulation and most have no idea why. Poor vagus nerve function has been linked to anxiety, depression, digestive issues, autoimmune disease, inflammation, high blood pressure, and even increased mortality. Yet in modern healthcare, the vagus nerve, the primary communication pathway between the brain, gut, immune system, and heart, is rarely evaluated. In this eye-opening episode of the Uncover Your Eyes podcast, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Dr. Navaz Habib, The Vagus Nerve Doc, to unpack why vagus nerve health is foundational to mental health, physical health, and long-term wellness, and why it's still missing from most healthcare conversations.

Why do so many intelligent, capable people walk into rooms and suddenly feel small? In this episode of the Uncover Your Eyes podcast, Dr. Meenal Agarwal explores the real reason we shrink and why it has far less to do with confidence or imposter syndrome than we've been led to believe. Drawing from neuroscience, visual perception, spatial awareness, and nervous system regulation, Dr. Agarwal explains how "shrinking" is often a biological and spatial response, not a personal flaw. When the nervous system perceives threat — social, cultural, or hierarchical — the body automatically contracts, vision narrows, posture collapses, and confidence drops. 🎯 In this episode, you'll uncover: ✅ Why shrinking is a neurological and spatial response, not weakness ✅ How vision and spatial awareness influence confidence and presence ✅ The role of the nervous system in boardrooms, clinics, panels, and social spaces ✅ Why women, healthcare providers, and people from marginalized backgrounds experience this more intensely ✅ Dr. Meenal's top 3 reframes to stop shrinking and take up space ✅ What to do before you enter a room to reset perception and authority This episode is essential listening for healthcare providers, entrepreneurs, leaders, women in medicine, and anyone who has ever felt dismissed, underestimated, or invisible in professional or social spaces. At Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal challenges the invisible systems shaping how we see, think, and show up — blending neuroscience, eye–brain health, mental health, and self-advocacy to help you navigate the world with clarity, confidence, and agency. 🎧 Tune in and join Dr. Meenal Agarwal as we reimagine what it means to be well in today's complex healthcare system.
