In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Garrett Wood—founder of Gnosis Therapy, certified clinical hypnotherapist, and executive well-being coach—for a direct conversation about burnout, high performance, and what it really takes to thrive. Garrett reveals why burnout isn't just about bad time management and how the real problem lies in emotional suppression, perfectionist conditioning, and a lack of body-based well-being. From sleep and movement to nervous system regulation and hypnotherapy, this episode challenges the “grind culture” and provides powerful insights for leaders who want to stay aligned while succeeding. It’s a wake-up call for any high achiever stuck in survival mode.   About the Guest:Garrett Wood is a certified clinical hypnotherapist and executive well-being coach, specializing in helping high-achieving professionals transform burnout into meaningful breakthroughs. As the founder of Gnosis Therapy, Garrett brings together science-backed coaching, cognitive flexibility work, and subconscious healing to support leaders in moving from exhaustion to alignment. His approach is both strategic and embodied, helping people shift from performative success to sustainable leadership.   Key Takeaways: Burnout is not a personal failure—it’s a symptom of misalignment and cultural dysfunction. Most high achievers overlook the basics: sleep, movement, and nutrition. These are non-negotiables, not luxuries. Emotional suppression in high-pressure environments leads to nervous system overload and chronic stress. True well-being requires tuning in, not toughing up. Mindset alone is not enough; deep healing requires subconscious work and body-based support. Leadership improves when emotional regulation is prioritized—your energy impacts everyone around you.   Connect with Garrett Wood:Website: gnosistherapy.comExplore his free burnout self-assessment on his website for a personalized strategy to move forward.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Nisha Patel, LPC—licensed professional counselor, speaker, and founder of The Nisha.

Nisha shares her personal journey of 16+ years of sobriety, blending science and spirituality through tools like DBT, brainspotting, hypnotherapy, and Reiki.

About the Guest:Nisha Patel, LPC, is a therapist, sovereignty expert, and speaker with over 16 years of sobriety.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, we explore the deep intersection of gut health, cardiac coherence, and nervous system transformation through two very different yet profoundly aligned lenses. Functional Medicine Health Coach Angie Gallagher breaks down the myths around cholesterol and heart disease, while Energy Priestess and veteran Susannah Rose Stokes unveils the emotional frequencies stored in the body—and how psilocybin-assisted ceremonies help release them. Together, they unpack the “three minds” of the body: gut, heart, and brain, and how breathwork, intuition, and inner stillness pave the way for true transformation. About the Guests:Angie Gallagher is a National Board-Certified Functional Medicine Coach with 25+ years in cardiac rehab. She bridges Western protocols with root-cause healing, specializing in metabolic and emotional health via the heart-gut-brain connection.Susannah Rose Stokes is a Marine veteran turned transformational guide and co-founder of Embodied Metamorphosis. Her work blends sacred plant medicine with somatic healing, activating deep nervous system repair and energetic integration.   Key Takeaways: Cholesterol is often scapegoated; inflammation and metabolic dysfunction are deeper culprits in heart disease. The gut-heart-brain axis operates as an intelligent, energetic ecosystem—not isolated systems. Psychedelics like psilocybin can support nervous system repair when used ceremonially. Breathwork is the first step to self-regulation and intuitive reconnection. True resilience requires spiritual surrender and metabolic awareness, not just behavior change.
