Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Noah May, creator of the Lethal Venom podcast, about navigating depression since age 13, an atypical anxiety diagnosis in 2020, and why speaking openly became his turning point. This direct, no-fluff conversation covers stigma, isolation, therapy, and using media to normalize mental health dialogue for young adults. If you’re building resilience, clarifying what “success” means beyond burnout, or looking for language to start your own conversation, this episode is for you.

 

About the Guest  :

Noah May is a journalist and host of the Lethal Venom podcast (plus two additional shows). He uses long-form conversation to tell the unfiltered truth about mental health, giving voice to those who feel unheard.

 

Key Takeaways:

• Early signs can be confusing: Noah’s anxiety presented primarily as persistent morning nausea and weight loss—proof that symptoms don’t always match the textbook.

• Stigma is shifting, slowly: more people share today than a decade ago, but fear of judgment still keeps many silent.

• Isolation compounds pain: feeling like an outcast led Noah to “stay small”; sharing his story reversed that pattern.

• Speaking up is a first step to healing: openness revealed real support and helped Noah reclaim self-trust.

• Redefining success: without self-care, “achievement” becomes another form of burnout; sustainable success includes mental health.

• Therapy works: professional help and ongoing self-work were pivotal in Noah’s recovery and day-to-day stability.

• Community matters: platforms like podcasts can normalize help-seeking and model vulnerability for younger listeners.

• Practical cue: if symptoms don’t look “typical,” still seek evaluation—atypical presentations are real and treatable.

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, author and musician Ray Hartjen shares how a 2019 multiple myeloma diagnosis reframed his life. We unpack his “timeline” exercise, growth-mindset habits, and the mottos that keep him moving: “If not now, when?” and “Punch today in the face.” Ray explains how writing his memoir, Me, Myself, and My Multiple Myeloma, turned one-to-one support into one-to-many advocacy, and why relationships—not routines—belong at the center of our days. Practical, candid, and immediately usable for anyone navigating illness, uncertainty, or a needed reset.

 

About the guest  :

Ray Hartjen is a writer, musician, and storyteller whose career spans banking, pharma, consumer electronics, and SaaS. After being diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2019, he transformed his fight into service—publishing books, performing with The Chronic Padres, and advocating for patients and caregivers worldwide.

 

Key takeaways:

• Use the “timeline” exercise: mark Birth and Death, then locate “where you are now” to stop taking time—and people—for granted.

• Shift from crisis-driven change to daily practice: schedule what matters with who matters.

• Growth mindset is whole-self work: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual domains rise or sink together.

• Anchor actions with clear mottos: “If not now, when?” drives starts; “Use up today” drives follow-through.

• Storytelling heals and scales support: writing a candid memoir turned private messages into community impact and hope.

• Purpose audit for work–life fit: when values and calendar diverge, joy and peace degrade—re-align deliberately.

• Service expands resilience: engaging other patients and caregivers creates meaning beyond metrics.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with performance coach and author Timothy Ward about building a strong body and a resilient mind after 40. Timothy shares how athletics helped him survive a violent childhood, and why muscle mass, heart strength, and metabolic health are the real longevity markers that add quality years. We break down his Fitness Quadrant (training, cardio, recovery, and nutrition), the science behind resistance training, and practical ways to create a preemptive plan that pushes back against aging. If you’re 40–75 and tired of watered-down “fitspo,” this episode offers a clear, no-nonsense blueprint to get strong, stay mobile, and live with intent.

 

About the guest  :

Timothy Ward is a global performance coach and author of The GOAT Within. Drawing on three decades in exercise science and coaching—from everyday professionals to elite athletes—he designs custom, science-based programs that integrate resistance training, cardiovascular conditioning, recovery, and nutrition.

 

Key takeaways  :

• The three longevity markers: preserve and (ideally) increase muscle mass, develop heart strength, and improve metabolic efficiency through targeted training and nutrition.

• Muscle is metabolic “engine”: resistance training (bands, bodyweight, dumbbells, cables, barbells) preserves mobility, bone density, and insulin sensitivity.

• Heart strength matters: calculated cardio can thicken the left ventricular wall, lower resting heart rate, and improve circulation.

• Metabolic strength: reduce ultra-processed foods, industrial seed oils, and additives; prioritize protein, whole foods, fiber, and smart fueling.

• Preemptive beats reactive: start in your 20s–30s if you can; in your 40s–60s, learn the fundamentals and create a weekly, adequate (not minimal) program.

• The Fitness Quadrant: training + cardio + recovery + nutrition—customized to your current condition—beats one-size-fits-all plans.

• Mind–body loop: consistent physical training improves mood, resilience, and mental clarity, not just physique.

• Strategy over willpower: knowledge, structure, and progressive overload change the trajectory more reliably than “motivation.”

Most people start fitness strong and fall off. Mike Laird—coach, former director at a top global fitness company, cancer survivor, and mentor to six-figure trainers—breaks down why retention collapses and how to build systems that last. We get real about motivation vs. action, the “all-or-nothing” trap, social media noise, and the leadership skills that keep both clients and coaches engaged. If you lead a team, run a gym, or just want health that sticks, this conversation gives you a direct playbook for consistency, communication, and balance that works on the gym floor and in business.

 

About the Guest  :

Mike Laird is an operations-minded health and business coach, lifelong athlete with a baseball background, and a family-first leader. He’s helped dozens of trainers build sustainable six-figure practices and rebuilt his own life after a rare, life-threatening cancer—proving that discipline plus perspective beats hustle-and-burnout culture.

 

Key Takeaways:

• Retention fails when we do “too much, too fast”; sustainable change needs a paced entry and clear steps.

• Action precedes motivation. Small, repeatable actions create the momentum most people wait for.

• The “all-or-nothing” narrative is a myth; fit the program around your life, not your life into a program.

• Social media “influencer” advice often causes paralysis by analysis; most of it isn’t built for 99% of people.

• Trainers burn out when they’re thrown in without development; business skills and people skills are trainable.

• Leaders who know their people—their goals, personality types, and communication styles—keep teams engaged longer.

• Relationship building and a nurtured lead book beat quick wins; systems matter more than streaks.

• Balance isn’t a luxury; it’s a retention strategy—for clients, coaches, and executives.

• Freedom after crisis looks like presence and priorities; loosen the calendar when it serves the mission.

• Stack good days. Consistency, not perfection, compounds in health, business, and life.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya speaks with Laura Watson, founder of Venture Coaching International, about leading from the inside out. We unpack the gap between surface success and inner alignment, how guided psychedelic journeys can unlock core beliefs, and a practical framework for emotional mastery under pressure. Expect clear, actionable insights for executives, entrepreneurs, and team leads who want sustainable performance, better decision-making, and authentic leadership.

 

About the Guest  

Laura Watson is a leadership and business coach with 30+ years guiding owners and executives. Her work bridges classic performance coaching with guided psychedelic journeys and integration, helping clients reconnect to authenticity, dissolve limiting beliefs, and lead with clarity.

 

Key Takeaways:

• Conscious leadership goes deeper than skills. It reconnects leaders to authenticity instead of copying past examples.

• “Be quick, but don’t hurry.” Mastery comes from focused practice; speed follows after skills are integrated—avoid random busyness.

• Symptoms vs. core issues. Procrastination, conflict, or disorganization often mask deeper beliefs and narratives formed by upbringing, education, and systems.

• Psychedelics as door-openers. Properly guided journeys can widen one’s sense of possibility and agency; the real work is post-journey integration.

• Emotional mastery in three steps: notice the trigger, shift from resistance to acceptance, then choose deliberate action.

• Lower emotional temperature to regain logic. You can’t be fully emotional and fully logical at once; regulate before deciding.

• Freedom follows mastery. Less reactivity creates time freedom, fewer workplace escalations, and better outcomes.

• Lead conversations, not drama. One thoughtful dialogue can prevent wasteful escalations and save time, money, and relationships.
