You don’t just heal; you decode the biology of joy. In this powerhouse episode of Never Perfect, Dr. Beth sits down with Dr. Mamta Bhatt, a scientist and executive consultant for J&J and Nike turned holistic wellness pioneer. After spending 20 years in a monastery, Dr. Bhatt synthesized her rigorous scientific background with ancient wisdom to create a revolutionary healing protocol to get herself well after years of being bedridden. Now she helps clients globally. From reversing 25-year insomnia to resolving chronic metabolic issues in just months, her results speak for themselves. If you have ever felt that your worth is tied to your \"doing,\" or that rest is something you must \"earn,\" this conversation is your biological \"permission slip\" to stop.
