The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan

Alright, Brave Table fam—buckle up, because today’s episode is a special one! I am sitting down with my baby brother, Vinay, who has completely transformed his life and his morning ritual—by giving up caffeine (gasp, I know!). From chugging five to six cups of coffee a day to developing Loom Superfoods, a caffeine-free powerhouse drink loaded with Mayan nut, adaptogens, and protein, Vinay’s journey is nothing short of inspiring.But this episode isn’t just about coffee—it’s about answering the call when your health (and intuition) nudges you to pivot. We talk about breaking bad habits, braving change, and why so many people stay stuck in comfort zones instead of leaping into their true potential. Oh, and we’re spilling all the tea (or should I say, Loom) on why most coffee drinkers are unknowingly wrecking their sleep, gut health, and energy levels.So if you’ve ever thought about cutting back on caffeine (or just making bold moves in your life and business), this one’s for you.What you'll get out of this episode… Caffeine disrupts gut, energy, and sleep cycles.Growth comes from discomfort—Vinay moved cities to avoid stagnation.Health is wealth—Vinay's high blood pressure at 30 was his wake-up call.Big problems fuel big solutions—Vinay turned caffeine struggles into a business.To pivot, ignore the noise, embrace uncertainty, and go for it.TIMESTAMPS[00:00:00] Intro: My Brother’s Wild Health Journey[00:03:00] Affirmation of the Day: “I Am Brave Enough to Suck at New Things”[00:06:00] The Moment Vinay Knew He Needed to Change His Life[00:12:00] Drinking 6 Cups of Coffee a Day: What It Did to His Body[00:19:00] Braving a Career Pivot: From Real Estate to Superfoods[00:24:00] Discovering the Mayan Nut & Creating a Coffee Alternative[00:29:00] How Caffeine Affects Sleep, Anxiety & Blood Pressure[00:34:00] Why Loom Superfoods is the Ultimate Coffee Replacement[00:39:00] The Reality of Entrepreneurship & Handling Naysayers[00:45:00] How Ditching Caffeine Improved His Energy & Mental Clarity[00:47:00] Final Hot Takes: What It Means to Be BraveTo receive a free gift, email a screenshot of your 5-star review of The Brave Table to support@globalgrit.co 😘Follow along for more tips, community, and resources to brave a better you!IG / @neetabhushan IG / @thebravetable TIKTOK / @neeta.bhushanWEB / https://neetabhushan.comYOUTUBE / @NeetaBhushanOfficialConnect with today’s guest, Vinay BhushanIG /  @therealvinaybhushanIG / @luumsuperfoodsWEB / LuumsuperfoodsGet 15% off your first order of Loom Superfoods!

Hey, Brave Table fam! 💥 Buckle up because today, we’re diving deep into friendships, relationships, and the big question: Should friendships be easy? We’ve all heard it—if it’s not effortless, maybe it’s not meant to be, right? WRONG. In a time where we’re more “connected” than ever yet lonelier than before, we need to redefine what real friendships look like and question whether we’re truly investing in our people. I’m sharing the science of lifelong friendships, the reality of evolving relationships, and why deep, messy, and even conflicted friendships are the ones that stand the test of time. We’re also peeling back the layers of business besties vs. real besties—because let’s be honest, not everyone clapping for you online is showing up for you in real life.So grab your coffee, matcha, or green juice, and let’s get BRAVE about friendships, real human connection, and building a sisterhood that actually lasts.What you'll get out of this episode… Friendships that last over 7 years are more likely to be lifelong.The loneliness epidemic is real, even in a hyper-connected world.Making friends as an adult is different—proximity and shared experiences matter.Conflict in friendships is NOT a red flag—it’s a sign of depth.Online friends vs. real-life friends—are we confusing the two?Business besties ≠ real besties—if they wouldn’t show up for you in a crisis, rethink their place in your life.The “expiration date” on friendships—when to hold on and when to let go.TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Welcome to The Brave Table01:30 - Should friendships be easy?03:45 - The shocking truth about long-term friendships06:20 - The loneliness epidemic & why connection feels harder today08:50 - Moving abroad & redefining friendships10:45 - Childhood vs. adult friendships—why they feel different12:30 - College years: The last time friendships felt effortless?15:20 - Making friends as an adult—what’s changed?18:00 - Are your online friendships real?

Hey, Brave Table fam! 🌟 Buckle up, because today we’re diving deep into one of my favorite topics: intuition. That inner knowing that whispers, screams, and sometimes throws bricks at us to get our attention. Have you ever ignored a nudge from the universe only to find yourself knee-deep in regret? Or maybe you listened, and your life transformed in ways you couldn’t imagine. In this episode, I share raw, personal stories—about everything from leaving toxic relationships to trusting those “breadcrumbs” of opportunity that led me across countries and into new chapters of abundance. We’re talking about manifesting your dream life by tuning into your gut, saying yes to uncertainty, and creating spiritual practices that nourish your soul. Plus, I spill all the tea on how energy and intuition are your secret superpowers for leveling up. Let’s get brave together! 💪✨ What you'll get out of this episode…  Your intuition is your superpower—it’s time to trust it and take action. Manifestation begins with envisioning, feeling, and staying open to signs. Kids are natural intuitives; watch and learn from their raw instincts. Building a spiritual practice doesn’t have to be dogmatic—it’s your sacred time with yourself. The universe aligns opportunities with your frequency, whether it’s abundance or lack.
