Dr. Nandi: Be Your Own Health Hero

Shawne Duperon: It sounds like your parents instilled mind, body and spirit with you, which are the focal points of your show?

Dr. Nandi: Our show is a medical lifestyle show. We talk about traditional medical topics. We talk about topics that affect your health in any way. We strongly believe, and I believe that what’s in your spirit, what’s in your mind affect your physical health every single day. We see that with, for example, the gastrointestinal system has a more complex nervous system than the central nervous system in your brain. And so, clearly, some of the diseases that we have are expressed when your spirit and your mind are not in harmony.

We talk about some traditional medical topics. For example, we will talk about testicular cancer. We will talk about lung cancer and pancreatic cancer, but we also will talk about mindfulness meditation, and how do we take mindfulness meditation and apply it so that you can live a healthier life?

Shawne Duperon: You’ve also been able to bridge cross culturally. Why?

Dr. Nandi: Why do we have such a diverse following? It is because we talk about topics that really affect human beings. I am somebody who does colonoscopies and also I do upper endoscopies. What happens is that no matter what the person’s color of their skin, what they believe, and their religion and where their background is, when I get into the body, guess what? They look exactly the same. The reason for telling that story is that we talk about human beings as a race and we don’t try to differentiate or try to say this person is such and so on and so forth. We pick topics that are universal. Like I said, whether you are in the Philippines, Zambia or Bloomfield Hills, you are interested. It is important to you. One of those topics, for example, how do you talk to your kids so that they don’t get in trouble? How do you stop a teenager from smoking? How do you talk to your kids so that after you get divorced, you want to go date somebody? How do you do that? How do you figure out to find the best chiropractor? Those topics transcend your race, your background, and your culture. It doesn’t mean that we are not sensitive to it. We want to address it, but we don’t want to exclude people. I think people understand. The last thing is that I think we are non-judgmental and we speak the truth. When you do that, I think you attract people from all different walks of life and cultures. I think that’s where we are blessed. We want to be called a universal, global brand and global movement. I think that we are on our way. We still want to learn from people what really is important to them.
