Today I have another really exciting guest, Niraj Naik. This is the man that I wake up with every morning, but we just won't tell his wife that. Why do I wake up with him? Because the first thing I have to do when I wake in the morning is the Soma Breath work Morning Gratitude Meditation and this has transformed my life. Listen in to find out more about Niraj and the incredible Soma Breath work.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Niraj got disillusioned with being a pharmacist because the job is very robotic. All you're doing is putting labels on boxes, and handing out pills. You have one or two minutes with a patient. The whole system is just a mess. It doesn't work at all because you are just working for drug companies.
Niraj went to an event by the brilliant Tony Robbins. and it was the first time he heard anyone who was super renegade talking about diet, nutrition and breathing. He thought “I have a pharmacy full of sick people, I can put Tony Robbins to test very quickly, see if he's full of shit or not” and so that's what he did.
Your job should be to inspire, educate, and motivate your patient to take action. You have two minutes with the patients, so in those two minutes, you have to give them inspiration and education and motivation to take action to do something with their health.
Niraj came up with the no-factory diet, instead of people having processed packaged meals or ingredients, he taught people a way to make their own versions of the meals they eat that are healthy and from scratch.
Colostrum is the first food that we consume as babies. It's the most potent food that's ever created by nature, and it gives you your immune system and fixes the lining of the gut so you can digest adult food and normal milk which is essential for a child to grow and develop properly.
Soma Breath is a powerful way to connect to your body and subconscious mind. It is a sequence of ancient pranayama breath work techniques combined with euphoric brainwave music and guided inner sensing that awakens you to your full human potential. The combination of all these elements takes you to a place where the real magic happens. Awaken dormant powers of the mind, supercharge and purify your blood and nervous system for more energy and vitality.

BEST MOMENTS

'People are going away with shopping bags full of drugs. Like it doesn't seem correct’

‘You're supposed to wean people off the drugs, you're not meant to get them hooked on more drugs’

‘We need renegade pharmacists like you’

‘Every time you breathe in, you stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. Every time you breathe out, you stimulate the parasympathetic’
