Modern medicine can treat almost anything. Yet it often misses the root of what makes us sick.

Dr. Ravi Kumar is a neurosurgeon who trained at the Mayo Clinic and spent years in operating rooms before realizing he needed to step away. He sold everything and moved his family to India, where he worked in mission hospitals under the most basic conditions.

Those experiences changed the way he views medicine, aging, and what it really means to heal. In this episode, Dr. Kumar shares what he's learned about the lifestyle choices that support our long-term health.

• How Ravi's experience in India reshaped his understanding of care and gratitude

• Why stress can affect our health long before we notice

• What we should know about our metabolic health

• How nutrition plays a major role in longevity and energy

• Why movement matters more than prescriptions

What happens when life forces us to confront the unexplainable?

Today's guest, Dr. Gregg Korbon, is a retired anesthesiologist whose life took an extraordinary turn after the loss of his nine-year-old son, Brian.

A lifelong man of science, Gregg was suddenly faced with experiences that defied logic and ultimately changed the course of his life. In this deeply moving conversation, Gregg shares how tragedy cracked his heart open to a world beyond reason.

Together, we explore what it means to find meaning after unimaginable loss—and how love, grief, and trust can guide us through life's transitions.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How a rational physician came to believe in experiences beyond science
• Brian's final days and the messages he left behind
• How grief opened Gregg's heart to unconditional love
• The ways dreams and symbols can help us heal and reconnect
• Why vulnerability can be a path to transformation
• What Gregg has learned about purpose, faith and trust in retirement
