Dr. Nandi: Be Your Own Health Hero

Shawne Duperon: It makes sense to me why your show is reaching millions. Your show is so popular. People are just attracted to it.

Dr. Nandi: Thank you. I really appreciate you saying that. The success of our show is because of what you said. It is the truth. One thing that you can’t fake is that if you tell the truth and you have a mission and you are consistent by it, it shows. When my dad was sick, he had a stroke, and I was on the other side of the equation. I was no longer the person giving the care, but receiving it. It took me all of 30 seconds to figure out when somebody really cares and somebody doesn’t. And you know this, too. I am hopeful that that truthfulness and that veracity, that real honest, openness comes out, and I think that’s a huge part of it. The rest of it is what I call our tribe. By that, I mean one of the biggest keys to any success in anything you do is to have a group of people that really, really understand your mission and believe in it and are all involved in such a way that they want to make that happen. Whether you are trying to lose weight, whether you are trying to get a job, whether you are trying to do the best you can in a basketball team, if you have a tribe of people, which really are behind you and support you in a realistic way, you succeed. They give you positive and constructive criticism but they share your belief and your dream. And they believe that you can do this. I think that’s also a huge part of what’s going on. The topics we are discussing is as important in Troy, Michigan as it is in Tanzania. We get comments from all over the world and questions all over the world because of that. Because what we are talking about is pertinent. It is important and it really hits the bull’s eye for lots of people.
