Dhru Purohit Show

This episode is brought to you by One Skin, Fatty15, Our Place, and Branch Basics.

Today, more people than ever are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected—yet few of us have ever been taught how our nervous system actually works. Understanding how to regulate it may be one of the most important skills for improving our mental health, relationships, resilience, and overall well-being.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Jonny Miller to discuss why so many of us feel stuck in cycles of stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or numbness, and how learning to regulate our nervous system can transform the way we show up in every area of life. Jonny explains how our nervous system shapes our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and resilience, why reactivity isn't a personality flaw but a biological pattern, and the practical framework he's used to help thousands of people cultivate greater calm, emotional flexibility, and aliveness. He also shares his own journey through grief, the hidden cost of people-pleasing, and the simple daily practices that can help anyone build a more resilient nervous system.

Jonny Miller is the host of the Inner Frontier Podcast and the founder of Nervous System Mastery, a five-week bootcamp where he has taught more than a thousand students—from the CEO of a rocket-ship company and burned-out startup founders to busy parents and elite performers—how to cultivate calm, rewire reactivity, and restore aliveness.

If you're struggling with poor sleep, low energy, or brain fog, the root cause may not be what you think. As today's guest explains, the way you breathe and even the structure of your jaw can profoundly influence your sleep, brain health, and long-term risk of chronic disease.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with longevity researcher Dr. Oliver Zolman for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked drivers of brain aging: sleep-disordered breathing. Dr. Zolman explains how conditions like sleep apnea and upper airway resistance syndrome can quietly impact your energy, cognitive function, and long-term health. He also shares his personal journey overcoming chronic fatigue syndrome, how he discovered an underlying breathing problem, and the research-backed strategies that transformed his health. He also walks through the most effective treatment options, the resources that helped him, and what to look for when choosing the right provider for your own care.

Dr. Oliver Zolman, MBBS BSc, is a longevity researcher focused on the science of slowing and reversing biological aging. Trained at King's College London, he chose to forgo traditional clinical practice to pursue independent research into biological age testing, rejuvenation therapies, longevity medicine, and preventive health systems. His work explores how emerging science can extend healthspan and help people stay healthier for longer, with the ambitious goal of reversing age-related decline across the body's major organ systems.

We're constantly told to avoid the sun, wear sunscreen every day, and invest in expensive skincare products if we want healthy, youthful-looking skin. But what does the science actually say? Can some sun exposure be beneficial? Are mineral sunscreens really safer than chemical ones? And with so many devices, creams, and treatments promising younger skin, which ones are actually worth your time and money?

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with double board-certified dermatologist, skin cancer expert, and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Teo Soleymani to separate fact from fiction when it comes to skin health and aging. Dr. Soleymani breaks down the latest research on sun exposure, skin cancer risk, and sunscreen safety, while revealing the most effective strategies for preventing premature aging. He also shares the top treatments for wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage, along with the devices and skincare interventions that deliver the biggest results without wasting your money. If you've ever wondered what actually works for healthier, younger-looking skin, this conversation is packed with practical, science-backed answers.

Dr. Teo Soleymani is a nationally recognized, double board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs Micrographic and Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon. A Stanford-trained physician and former clinical professor at UCLA, he specializes in the treatment of complex, high-risk skin cancers and sun-damaged, aging skin. He now leads California Dermatology and Mohs Surgery Specialists in Pasadena, CA, and continues to contribute to academic research and innovation in dermatologic surgery.
