Episode 127: Dr. Suneel Dhand

Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life’s Best Medicine. Dr. Suneel Dhand is a medical doctor specializing in Internal & Lifestyle Medicine with a focus on Metabolic Health. He was born in London, grew up in Berkshire, England, and went to medical school at Cardiff University. He then crossed the ocean to do his medical residency in Baltimore, Maryland. Along the way, he also started a popular healthcare blog, YouTube Channel, and wrote 3 well-being books. Dr. Dhand’s main clinical interest is lifestyle medicine and metabolic health, and he is the Founder of Real Public Health US/UK. He is also passionate about educating people about metabolic health, and believes strongly in anti-Censorship in Medicine, Science, and Society.

In their conversation, Brian and Suneel talk about Dr. Suneel’s experience treating COVID patients during the pandemic, why Dr. Suneel decided to become a doctor, vaccine requirements and governmental over-reach, financial corruption in big Pharma and the American medical system, the importance of speaking out about what you observe in science and medicine, the systemic factors that contribute to the worsening of physical and mental health in the United States, the programming of the population to believe and behave in an irrational way, why Dr. Suneel decided to take a stand against the irrational rules and protocols he was seeing.

Life’s Best Medicine According to Suneel: “I think the number one rule of life—before you even focus on anything else—is to try your best to stay healthy. The pillars of a healthy lifestyle: a fresh, whole food diet very low in processed foods, low in sugars, with minimal carbohydrates. Basically eat as healthy as you can.

Exercise as much as you can—my rule is one hour a day wether it is cardio, weights, etc. one hour per day. While you do that you should be completely detached—so no looking at emails, answering messages. That hour of exercise is going to have enormous spill-over benefits: improved concentration, more energy, it will help you sleep better, and it is a mood boost.

Do everything you can to de-stress your life. Having chronically elevated adrenalin and cortisol levels is extremely detrimental to your health.

Sleep! Too many people chronically under-sleep.

In terms of keeping going, having a mission, having principles is extremely important. Nuclearly, what you want to do in life—what your goals are, what you believe strongly in—do something you are absolutely passionate about. All of those things are much more likely to lead to happiness in your life.

Now, happiness is a very subjective term. I am a big believer in Stoicism. Stoicism is a excellent philosophy to live life by that ancient Greece-Roman philosophy. It has helped me a lot over the last three years to combat the madness of the world and to distinguish between what is in your control and what is not in your control.”

Thank you for listening. Have a blessed day and stay healthy!
