1. The Inspiration Behind The Anatomy of Wellbeing
Dr. Bhanote shares what led her to write her bestselling book, describing it as a synthesis of her personal experiences and professional expertise. With roots in conventional pathology and branches in ancient wisdom, she created The Anatomy of Wellbeing as a practical guide to help people navigate health with clarity, science, and daily rituals.
2. Why Adrenal and Nervous System Health Are Key to Longevity
Modern life often leads to adrenal dysregulation through chronic stress, poor sleep, and overstimulation. Dr. Bhanote explains how this impacts hormone signaling, immunity, and energy metabolism. She outlines how adrenal recovery isn’t about quick fixes but about honoring the body’s natural rhythms through rest, nourishment, and stress regulation. She further emphasizes that a regulated nervous system is foundational for healthy aging. Through tools like vagus nerve stimulation, somatic awareness, and tracking heart rate variability (HRV), we can strengthen the connection between nervous system health, digestion, hormone balance, and longevity itself.
3. Lifestyle Rituals That Support Resilience
Practical and powerful, Dr. Bhanote shares daily rituals that regulate the nervous system and support adrenal recovery:
Structured Stillness: Breathwork, nature, and digital breaks to reset the system
Nutrient Synergy: Foods and herbs that support adrenal resilience, including magnesium-rich plants and adaptogens
Circadian Alignment: Sleep-wake cycles, morning light exposure, and wind-down rituals for hormone balance
4. Redefining Aging Through Cellular Care
Dr. Bhanote challenges the outdated view of aging as decline. Instead, she offers a science-backed perspective on how intentional living—starting with the gut, nervous system, and mitochondria—can recalibrate the trajectory of aging. Her #CellCare approach blends modern biology with ancient wisdom to restore health at the root.
