Niraj Naik, The Renegade Pharmacist, is on a mission to improve health and well-being on a global scale. He posits an interesting thought experiment – what if the billions of coca-colas and cigarettes consumed a day were replaced with the habit of breathwork? Naik believes it would be revolutionary. A certified pharmacist turned holistic health and breathwork expert, Naik’s story is like so many in the health and wellness space. Disillusioned with his observations that all the prescription drugs he was dispensing as a pharmacist were making no difference (if not making them worse) on his patients health and then having to heal himself from one of those “incurable” conditions (ulcerative colitis), Naik broke away from traditional medicine and immersed himself in the world of alternatives.  Not only did this cure him of his colitis, it changed his life forever.Naik then under his Renegade Pharmacist moniker began to educate the public about brainwave entrainment, Ayurveda, natural supplements and medicines and breathwork. It was during this phase he authorized what would become one of the most viral infographics of all time – What Happens To Your Body One Hour After You Drink a Can of Coke. He then created his own system of breathwork, SOMA Breath, which is taught across the world by over 1,000 instructors. Naik is also a professional musician, serial entrepreneur and one of the most sought after spiritual ceremony facilitators. Join us as we explore:How changing his tribe changed Naik’s lifeWhy from the moment Naik walked into a pharmacy it felt wrongHow clues from his grandmother’s ancestral ways showed him a new pathWhy the “science” on cholesterol confused and concerned NaikNaik’s breath journeyHow breathwork is now even being linked to anti-ageingThe amazing history of breathwork drawing inspiration from the animal kingdomWhy the story of breath is the story of your mitochondriaThe transformational ability for breath to reduce stress The biological dance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the bodyDepressed or anxious?

Dr. Riaz Motara is doing things a little differently. Not only is Dr. Motara a cardiologist with 20 plus years experience, he founded the first woman’s heart clinic in Africa and is the only functional medicine trained cardiologist in South Africa who focuses on cardiac-endocrinology. But six years ago Dr. Motara was faced with a problem – his waiting list for patients was too long and his time too limited. So he founded KardioFit, which is already Africa’s largest digital health company, with the purpose of connecting the patient and medical professionals using technology that will create improved outcomes. The focus of KardioFit is on prevention and screening to catch any potential issues before they manifest into dis-ease by harnessing the powers of prediction and precision.  Dr. Riaz Motara has a MBBCH and FCP (SA) from Wits Medical School.
