Painful periods aren’t “just normal”, they’re often linked to prostaglandins that trigger intense uterine cramps.
In this conversation with Dr. Kirti Shankhdhar, we break down how these hormone-like chemicals affect your body and why the pain can feel overwhelming.
Understanding the science behind your symptoms is the first step toward better management and relief.

Your hands touch your phone, door handles, gym equipment, dust and sweat all day. When they keep coming back to your face, they quietly transfer oil and bacteria that your skin never asked for. Over time, this constant contact creates friction and clogs pores, which slowly turns into acne.
Clear skin isn’t just about the products you use every night. It’s also about breaking small habits you don’t even notice, like resting your face on your hands or picking at your skin. Sometimes, healing starts the moment you stop touching.

In conversation with Dr. Anjalika Atrey, we discussed how anxiety and depression don’t discriminate by age or generation, they just wear different masks.
A teenager may call it “burnout” or mood swings.
A working adult may call it stress or exhaustion.
An older adult may call it loneliness or sleep problems.
The language changes. The science doesn’t.

Viral product just means good marketing, not skin safe. Most of these products overload actives and fragrance that disrupts your skin barrier, alters pH, and triggers inflammation.
When it burns or tingles, that’s not purging, it’s your stratum corneum (skin’s outermost layer) getting damaged.
Remember, glow fades fast, damage stays longer.

Certain dietary choices can increase your risk of developing diabetes over time.

Fruit juices, maida biscuits, white pasta, and packaged foods may seem harmless, but they can contribute to insulin resistance and make your body work harder over time.

Being aware of these choices matters. Small adjustments now can help lower your diabetes risk and support long-term health.

In conversation with Dr. Amrita Verma on foods that increase the risk of diabetes.

Painkillers can quietly strain your kidneys when used often or without medical guidance.

These drugs reduce blood flow to the kidneys, making it harder for them to filter waste properly. Over time, repeated use can increase the risk of kidney damage, fluid imbalance, and reduced kidney function.

The risk becomes higher with dehydration, existing health conditions, or long-term self-medication.

In conversation with Dr. Nikhil Bhasin about painkillers and kidney health.

Acne during puberty is common and largely driven by natural hormonal changes.

With growing pressure to look a certain way, many teenagers are pushed toward doctor visits out of concern or comparison, even when acne is simply part of the body’s normal adjustment during this stage.

Understanding this phase matters.

In conversation with Dr. Nikhil Shah on normalizing puberty acne.

That post-workout stiffness isn't always just "normal soreness". Sometimes, it's your body reacting to how you train.

Many people focus only on lifting weights while skipping stretching and recovery, leading to tightness and stiffness over time.

Understanding why stiffness happens helps you train smarter and move better.

In conversation with Dr. Amit Agarwal on post-workout stiffness.
