well-being in a world filled with pollution,

holistic integration of physical, mental and
spiritual well-being, fueling the body, engaging

is determined by a delicate balance between
nerves, hormones, organs, genetics, emotional
state, lifestyle as well as environmental
conditions. Mind and body kinetics reveal our
psychology and a?ect our biology. Certain
emotions can make us sick and lead to certain
illnesses. For example suppressed anger leads

prescribing a drug, thereby applying a bandage to
the problem, says the Founder and Nutritionist
Kiiran Patel. Adding Life to Your Time Kiiran

used to treat cardiovascular disease, diabetes,

involves substances known as chelators. These
substances bind to heavy metals and transport
them out of the body. This therapy is an
effective, safe way to remove harmful metal
toxins as it is non-invasive and protects your
organs from damage due to heavy metal
deposition. A chelating agent is introduced into
the body through intravenous (IV) drip. Once the
chelating agent enters the bloodstream, it binds

15One of the most common chelating agents used in
chelation therapy is ethylene diamine
tetra-acetic acid (EDTA). EDTA removes lead,
iron, copper, and calcium from the blood. Some
also suggest that EDTA can act as an antioxi-
dant and protect against the damaging effects of
chronic inflammation. To that end, chelation
therapy is also used to treat osteoarthritis and
other inflammation-related conditions. Since
calcium deposits are found in artery-clogging
plaques, chelation is one of the alternative
treatments to treat atherosclerosis. What you
experience while chelation therapy? Intravenous
chelation therapy may be repeated over a period
of weeks or months. Some intravenous drugs will
need to be given over a period of hours during
each visit. After each procedure, you may feel
fatigued or experience a mild headache or
rash. How does Chelation Therapy work? An amino
acid, or chelating agent, known as EDTA
(ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), is
administered to a patient intravenously (IV).
EDTA works by binding salts to
molecules (toxic heavy metals) in the blood. The
chelation agent adheres to the toxins in the
body, which are flushed out via urine. Ozone
Therapy Through ozone therapy, we can prolong
vitality, maximize our health, eliminate
ailments, and ultimately lead a longer and
healthier life! Oxygen is the single most
important
16- nutrient for the body and your health. The body
can survive weeks without food and days without
water but only minutes without oxygen. Every cell
of the body requires a continuous supply to
generate energy, detoxify the body and maintain
healthy cells. Any reduction in oxygen
availability to the body, whether by poor posture
and breathing, deoxygenated water and refined
foods, smoking, stress, lack of exercise,
environmental pollution or exposure to carbon
monoxide, reduces the optimal performance of
these essential cellular functions. A lack of
sufficient oxygen is a major cause of poor
health, leading to conditions such as arthritis,
low immunity, constant fatigue, cancer, regular
colds and flu, hay fever, migraine, low vitality,
etc. When the body is flooded with an activated
form of oxygen, namely ozone, people consistently
report that these conditions and their general
health, wellbeing and energy levels dramatically
improve. Ozone (O3) is activated oxygen (O2), and
in a short period, the O3 molecule will revert to
oxygen. During this short half-life cycle, the O3
molecule can, therefore, be utilized for
sanitation and sterilization purposes. Ozone
inactivates viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungi and
protozoa. The human body runs on oxygen. A full
90 of the energy you produce is created through
aerobic metabolism. If you are not getting enough
oxygen, your body cannot have enough energy. - Unfortunately, our oxygen levels are decreasing
dramati- cally. According to Robert Berner of
Yale University, the air we breathe today is as
much as 1/3 less oxygen-potent as when we first
walked the Earth, dipping as little as 12 oxygen
(compared to 30 35) in major cities. Quite
simply, the body cannot heal or function properly
without adequate oxygen, informs Kiiran. - This is why professional athletes use oxygen and
ozone chambers to speed healing times up to 3-4x
faster after receiving an injury. - Why do you need Oxygen?
- Oxygen starvation is caused by
- Stress.
foods, sugar, alcohol, improper food combining,
deep fried and processed foods). Infrared
Therapy A traditional sauna heats the air,
whereas an infrared sauna heats your body
directly without warming the air around you. By
eliminating the suns troublesome, harmful UV
rays, we provide a safe, restorative sweat
session that will leave you rejuvenated. Each
infrared sauna session raises your core
temperature, inducing an artificial fever. A
fever is the bodys natural mechanism to
strengthen and accelerate the immune response, as
seen in the case of infection. This enhanced
immune system, combined with improved elimination
of toxins and wastes via intense sweating,
increases your overall health and resistance to
disease. Not only will you come out of every
session glowing on the outside, but you'll be
stronger on the inside. Clears and Improves
Skin The profuse sweating during your 40-minute
infrared sauna session carries off deep
impurities and dead skin cells. This leaves the
skin glowing and immaculately clean. There is
improved circulation that draws the skin's
nutrients to the surface. Skin elasticity, tone,
and texture are enhanced with skin colour. Better
circulation can relieve acne, eczema, psoriasis,
burns, cuts and lesions, and cellulite reduction.
Infrared therapy also increases the heart rate
and blood circulation to stop fatty acid deposits
and fibrosis from accumulating liquids in liquid.
The increased heart rate and localized blood
circulation work together to prevent fatty
deposits and fibrosis from accumulating liquids
in the fat cells to reduce the appearance of
cellulite. Leave every sauna session with detoxed
skin cells and a light from within glow! Burn
Calories As you relax in an IR sauna, your body
is hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood,
and burning calories. As your body increases
sweat production to cool itself, your heart will
work harder to pump blood at a greater rate to
boost circulation. This increase in your
metabolism will burn calories all while you
relax, as well as long after your session ends.
Regular use of an infrared sauna imparts a
similar stress on the cardiovascular system as
that of running, and regular use may be as
effective a means of cardiovascular conditioning
and burning of calories as regular exercise. No
weight loss gimmicks here. Just healthy, real
results. Ease Pain The deep heat during an

- healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries.
Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic
waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to
oxygen-depleted muscles so they recover faster.
The heat from the sauna also helps to reduce
soreness on nerve endings and muscle spasms as
muscle joints and fibres are heated. Muscles
relax most readily when tissues are warm for
greater flexibility and range of motion. Infrared
heat helps to relieve muscle tension, thereby
helping your body to make the most of its
intended healing abilities. Heal naturally with
zero negative side effects to start living a
pain-free life. - Sleep Better Not only are infrared saunas
relaxing, but the chromotherapy KPWC includes in
each session has sleep-inducing benefits. Blue,
for example, is a mentally relaxing colour that
has a pacifying effect on the nervous system,
encouraging great relaxation. It is ideal for
sleep problems. Relaxing, soothing blue rays
combined with infrared heat bring great calm and
peace to the mind that is worried, excited, or in
a constant nervous state. Over time, these
therapies will improve natural melatonin and
other sleep-related hormone levels to help you
get better rest naturally. - What to Expect
- Dont Sweat the Temp- KPWC is a wellness
experience where the results are cumulative. This
means that the more you come in, the better you
will feel. Just like working out or dieting, it
will take a few sessions before benefits begin to
manifest. You may notice that it takes 10-20
minutes to break a sweat in your first session.
This is because our saunas heat your body
directly, passively raising your core temperature
by 2-3 degrees, rather than simply heating your
- skin with hot air. This is a defining difference
between infrared and traditional sauna. As your
body becomes more accustomed to raising your core
temperature regularly, your sweat will become
more excessive and start sooner into your
session. - Refresh and Replenish When you finish your
sauna session, you will continue to perspire as
your body naturally cools downrefresh and
revive. Your body just flushed out many toxins.
Be sure to replenish and rehydrateYou can refill
with coconut water, alkaline water or any
hydration veg juices. - Promotes relaxation, balancing stress hormones,

transformative power of merging modern medical
knowledge with ancient wisdom, offering a
holistic approach to wellness that supports the
body's natural healing processes. - Nutritionist Kiiran and her experienced team aid

n today's fast-paced and technology-driven world,
Mental Well-being Spending time in nature has a
profound effect on our mental well-being.
Research indicates that exposure to natural
environments reduces stress, anxiety, and
depression while enhancing mood and self-esteem.
Nature's tranquillity and beauty offer respite
from the hustle and bustle of daily life,
allowing us to recharge and find solace in its
calming presence. Whether it's a leisurely walk
in the park or simply sitting by a lake,
immersing ourselves in nature can transform our
mental state. Cognitive Development Connecting
with nature is crucial for the next generation
for healthy cognitive development. Numerous
studies have highlighted the positive impact of
outdoor play and nature- based learning on
children's cognitive abilities, creativity, and
problem-solving skills. Exposure to natural
environ- ments stimulates curiosity, enhances
sensory perception, and fosters a sense of
wonder, which is vital for a child's holistic
development.
many of us find ourselves constantly surrounded by
However, as we strive for progress and
convenience, we often overlook nature's profound
impact on our health and well-being. Fortunately,
a growing movement is emerging, encouraging
individuals to reconnect with nature to regain
their healthiest selves and foster a sustainable
future for the next generation. In this article,
we will explore the importance of returning to
nature and how it can positively impact our
physical, mental, and emotional
well-being. Physical Health Nature provides an
abundance of opportunities for physical activity
and exercise. Instead of spending hours in seden-
tary positions indoors, engaging in outdoor
activities such as hiking, gardening, or cycling
allows us to get our bodies moving and reap the
benefits of fresh air and natural sunlight.
Studies have shown that regular exposure to
nature can lower blood pressure, boost the immune
system, and reduce the risk of chronic illnesses.
17

20Environmental Awareness and Sustainability By
reconnecting with nature, we cultivate a deeper
appreciation and understanding of the
environment. This newfound awareness often leads
to a desire to protect and preserve natural
spaces for future generations. It inspires
individuals to adopt more sustainable practices,
such as reducing waste, conserving energy, and
supporting eco- friendly initiatives. By
embracing a more environmentally conscious
lifestyle, we contribute to a healthier planet
for the next generation. Building Community and
Social Connections Nature has the remarkable
ability to bring people together, fostering a
sense of community and social connection. Whether
participating in community gardening projects,
joining outdoor sports teams, or attending
nature-focused events, engaging in nature-centred
activities allows individuals to connect with
like-minded individuals and form meaningful
relationships. These social connections provide
support, companionship, and a sense of belonging,
which is vital for overall well-being. Mindfulnes
s and Stress Reduction Nature provides an ideal
setting for practising mindfulness and stress
reduction techniques. Whether through mindful
walks in the forest or meditation in a natural
environment, immersing ourselves in nature allows
us to slow down, be present in the moment, and
find inner calm. The soothing sounds, scents, and
sights of nature can help alleviate stress,
promote relaxation, and improve overall mental
clarity. Connection with Natural
Rhythms Modern lifestyles often disconnect us
from the natural rhythms of the Earth. By
spending time in nature, we can re-establish a
connection with the seasons' cycles, the sun's
rising and setting, and the ebb and flow of
tides. This connection can help regulate our
biological clocks, improve sleep patterns, and
enhance overall circadian rhythm, improving
overall health and vitality. Nutritional
Benefits Returning to nature also encompasses
embracing whole, unprocessed foods sourced from
organic and sustainable farming practices.
Incorporating fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole
grains into our diets provides essential
nutrients and reduces exposure to harmful
chemicals and additives
found in processed foods. Eating closer to the
source promotes optimal nutrition and supports
local, eco-friendly agriculture. Nature-Based
Therapy Nature-based therapies, such as
eco-therapy or wilderness therapy, are gaining
recognition for their effectiveness in promoting
mental and emotional well-being. These
therapeutic approaches integrate the healing
power of nature into counselling and
psychotherapy sessions, offering individuals a
nurturing and grounding environment for personal
growth, self-reflection, and emotional
healing. Environmental Guidance Going back to
nature involves actively participating in
environmental guidance and conservation
efforts. Participating in volunteer activities,
such as tree planting, beach clean-ups, or
habitat restoration, allows us to contribute to
preserving natural ecosystems and biodiversity.
By actively caring for the environment, we can
protect the planet for future generations and
instil a sense of responsibility and reverence
for nature in the next-gen. As we navigate the
complexities of the modern world, it is
increasingly important to recognize the immense
benefits of reconnecting with nature. By
embracing the healing power of the outdoors, we
can improve our physical health, enhance our
mental well-being, foster cognitive develop- ment
in children, promote environmental
sustainability, and build strong social
connections. So, let us embark on this journey
back to nature, not only for our health and
happi- ness but also to create a healthier and
more sustainable world for the next generation.

you have accepted victory, is his
mantra. Yashs own story is worth telling. He
did job after job and worked endlessly, which
left him stressed, depressed, and confused. He
recalls, As the stress and pressure piled up, my
mental and physical health began to su?er. I was
constantly exhausted and felt on the verge of
burnout. I was also struggling with depression
and felt like I had no one to turn to for
help. Finally, Yash knew he had to make a
change. He quit his job in 2015 and took some
time to focus on himself and his well-being. It
was a tough decision but the best one for
me. That's when his career took a 360-degree
turn. He began to focus on his overall well-being
and enrolled in classes and workshops in life
coaching, yoga, meditation, and

3000 sessions in more than 30 cities in India and

Unhealthy
Lifestyle

items, and household goods. These chemicals, such
as artificial preservatives, colourants, and
additives, can harm our health when consumed or
absorbed by our bodies over time. They have been
linked to various health issues, including
allergies, hormonal imbalances, reproductive
problems, and even chronic diseases like
cancer. Embracing Natural and Organic
Alternatives One of the most effective ways to
erase the health hazards of a chemical-adulterated
unhealthy lifestyle is by embrac- ing natural
and organic alternatives. Opting for organic
produce, free from pesticides and genetically
modified organisms (GMOs), can reduce our
exposure to harmful chemicals. Similarly,
choosing natural personal care products and
household cleaners, free from toxic ingredi- ents
helps protect our bodies and the
environment. Prioritizing Whole Foods and
Balanced Nutrition Processed and chemically
enhanced foods have become staples in many
people's diets, contributing to various health
problems. Erasing these hazards involves shifting
towards a diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods.
Fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean
proteins provide essential nutrients,
antioxidants, and fibre, supporting optimal
health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
By prioritizing balanced nutrition, we can fuel
our bodies with the building blocks for vibrant
well-being. Active Lifestyle and
Exercise Physical inactivity is a common
consequence of a sedentary lifestyle, leading to
numerous health risks, including
Tover health and well-being. This shift has led
to an

increase in chemical-laden products, processed
foods, and
sedentary behaviours, all contributing to the
erosion of our health. However, recognizing the
health hazards of this chemical- adulterated
unhealthy lifestyle is the first step towards
reclaiming our well-being. This article will
explore the dangers associated with a chemically
laden lifestyle and discuss strategies to
eradicate these health hazards, allowing us to
embrace a healthier, more natural way of
living. Understanding Chemical
Adulteration Chemical adulteration refers to
contaminated products with harmful synthetic
chemicals, including food, personal care
25
www.ciolookindia.com
28obesity, cardiovascular disease, and
musculoskeletal problems. Eradicating the health
hazards of a chemical- laden lifestyle requires
incorporating regular physical activity into our
lives. Engaging in exercise through walking,
cycling, or sports helps improve cardiovascular
health, boost mood, and maintain a healthy
weight. Detoxification and Cleansing
Practices To eliminate accumulated toxins from a
chemical- adulterated lifestyle, incorporating
detoxification and cleansing practices can be
beneficial. This may include periodic fasting,
consuming detoxifying foods and bever- ages, and
practising techniques like sauna sessions or dry
brushing to support the body's natural
detoxification processes. Consulting with a
healthcare professional or nutritionist can guide
safe and effective detoxification
methods. Mindfulness and Stress
Management Stress is a significant contributor
to poor health and well- being. Adopting mindful
practices, such as meditation, yoga, or deep
breathing exercises, can help manage stress
levels and promote relaxation. Cultivating
mindfulness allows us to make conscious choices,
become aware of our body's needs, and reduce
reliance on chemical-laden products and unhealthy
habits. Environmental Consciousness Recognizing
the interconnectedness between our health and the
environment is essential. By reducing our
consumption of chemical-laden products, we can
minimize the environ- mental pollution caused by
their production and disposal. Choosing
eco-friendly alternatives and supporting sustain-
able practices contribute to a healthier planet
and protect future generations. Education and
Awareness Spreading awareness about the health
hazards of a chemi- cal-adulterated lifestyle is
crucial. Educating ourselves and others about the
potential risks associated with synthetic
chemicals and unhealthy habits empowers
individuals to make informed decisions and
advocate for change. Encouraging conversations,
sharing resources, and promoting consumer
education is essential in eradicating these
health hazards.
Community Engagement and Collaboration Eradicatin
g the health hazards of a chemical-laden
lifestyle requires collective action. Engaging
with local communi- ties, joining
health-conscious groups, and collaborating with
like-minded individuals can amplify efforts to
promote healthier choices. Sharing knowledge,
organizing events, and supporting initiatives
that raise awareness about the benefits of a
natural lifestyle can create positive
change. Continuous Self-Evaluation and
Adaptation Overcoming deeply ingrained habits
and embracing a chemical-free lifestyle is an
ongoing process. It requires continuous
self-evaluation and adaptation. Regularly
reassessing our choices, seeking new information,
and being open to change allow us to refine our
habits and make healthier choices over time.
Embracing a growth mindset ensures we remain
committed to eliminating health hazards and
striving for continuous improvement. Consumer
Advocacy and Product Labelling Supporting
companies that prioritize transparency and
provide clear product labelling can catalyse
change. We can drive the market towards healthier
alternatives by demand- ing stricter regulations,
advocating for comprehensive labelling, and
supporting organizations that promote safe,
chemical-free products. Consumer advocacy plays a
significant role in encouraging manufacturers to
prioritize human and environmental
health. Erasing the health hazards of a
chemical-adulterated unhealthy lifestyle requires
a conscious shift towards natural, organic
alternatives and a commitment to holistic
well-being. By embracing whole foods, engaging in
regular physical activity, prioritizing natural
products, and manag- ing stress, we can reclaim
our health and reduce the risks associated with a
chemically laden lifestyle. Let us take charge of
our well-being and pave the way for the healthi-
est future generations.

We are working with renowned
brands like Radisson, Royal Orchid,
Summit group of hotels, and more
big brands are in the pipeline to join
hands with us to manage their wellness business.
Furthermore, a compelling motivation for
venturing into the wellness domain is my belief
in the ethos of giving back to society. There
exists a profound aspiration in me to reciprocate
the positivity received from the community. This
drive encompasses a commitment to contribute
positively, enrich lives, and create spaces and
experiences that foster well-being, benefitting
individuals and communities at large. Thus, my
inspiration behind venturing into the wellness
industry comprises a blend of visionary goals to
reform existing paradigms, revive ancient
practices, and engender a culture of giving back
to society, all geared towards creating a
positive impact and fostering holistic wellness
for individuals and communities alike. What are
the USPs that make you stand out as a treasured
company? At Wellness HUB, we bring forth a
unique set of distinctive qualities that set us
apart in the wellness industry, underpinned by a
dedication to preserving and reviving ancient
wellness practices, much akin to the legacy of Dr
Abhijit Sinha Roy, renowned for his expertise in
Homeopathy. One of our notable USPs at Wellness
HUB lies in our commitment to unearthing and
introducing the lost wellness treasures deeply
embedded in the rich tapestry of India's ancient
heritage. This endeavour involves meticulously
exploring and reviving forgotten holistic healing
practices, providing a distinct and authentic
experience to the spa and wellness
industry. Furthermore, Wellness HUB stands out
as a beacon for promoting wellness, embodying a
profound understanding and expertise in the
field. Inspired by the legacy of
Shubhashis spoke in an exclusive interview with
CIOLook India on the occasion of Wellness HUB
being selected as 'India's Most Recommended
Wellness Center to Watch.' The highlights of that
candid discussion are given herein. What was
your inspiration behind venturing into this
sector as a wellness firm? Venturing into the
wellness industry often stems from multifaceted
inspirations, each contributing to a broader
vision and purpose. For me, one such driving
force is the aspiration to reform and
revolutionize the wellness business within the
hospitality industry. It involves a commitment to
cultivating leaders and innovators within this
sector, aiming to redefine standards, introduce
novel approaches, and elevate the overall
wellness experience for patrons. Moreover,
delving into the wellness industry often involves
a profound desire to resurrect and reintroduce
ancient wellness practices deeply rooted in
Indian culture. I intend to rediscover and revive
these time-honoured traditions that have held
invaluable significance for centuries, promoting
holistic well-being and nurturing both the body
and the mind.

32We've substantially bolstered our digital
footprint to meet this demand, ensuring
accessibility and visibility across various
online platforms. Embracing software-based
operations has been pivotal, not only in saving

errors. Looking ahead, the potential of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands as a game-
changer in our industry. AI's predictive
capabilities hold immense promise, enabling us to
analyze and comprehend customer preferences with
unparalleled precision. This foresight into
consumer choices will undoubtedly revolutionize
our approach, fostering a more tailored and
personalized experience for our clientele. What
would be your advice to aspirants willing to
venture into your field? For aspiring
entrepreneurs, authenticity in your product or
service is key to carving your niche in the
market. However, equally important is the
recognition and nurturing of the backbone of your
enterprise your ground-level colleagues. By
offering fair compensation and genuinely caring
for your team, you establish a harmonious work
environment that echoes through your customer
service. When your employees feel valued and
supported, they, in turn, extend that care to
your customers, fostering a positive and enduring
relationship. Therefore, prioritize cultivating a
supportive and respectful workplace culture,
understanding that a satisfied team is a
cornerstone of successful customer service and
business growth. How do you envision scaling
Wellness HUB's scope and o?erings in future? We

comfort of one's home. This holistic approach

within the spa and wellness domain. This unique
approach positions us as an emblem of
authenticity, innovation, and holistic well-being
in the industry. What were the initial
challenges after venturing into the field you are
in, and what are the challenges now? The initial
challenge faced by our wellness venture revolved
around recruiting and training proficient
therapists, a quintessential element in the
industry. Identifying and nurturing skilled
professionals posed a significant hurdle,
compounded by the subsequent challenge of
retaining them in the long run. Over time, we've
strategically addressed this challenge by honing
our approach. We've delved into innovative
recruitment strategies, leveraging referral
sources to identify and attract adept therapists.
Moreover, our commitment to providing an
industry-leading compensation package and a
stress-free and supportive working environment
has played a pivotal role in enhancing therapist
retention. By fine-tuning our recruitment methods
and prioritizing the well-being of our team,
we've effectively navigated the initial hurdles
posed by staffing challenges in the wellness
industry. Being an experienced leader, share
your opinion on how technology is transforming
your sector and what advancements we can expect
in the future. Technology is the cornerstone of
our operations in today's landscape,
fundamentally reshaping how consumers engage with
our services. The prevalence of online bookings
has significantly altered our interaction with
customers, necessitating an amplified online
presence.
