In a refreshing departure from mainstream health trends dominated by obsession over ever-changing diets and supplements, a transformative initiative has emerged within Victoria’s Maroondah Indian Community (MIC).
Teaming up with Peak Health Mastery (PHM), led by Dr Arun Dhir and Monique Davey, this collaboration seeks to redefine health and wellbeing through a blend of ancient Indian wisdom and modern science.
The focal point of their effort, the Radical Wellness 101 program, unfolded over eight weeks, from April 21st to June 9th, marking a significant milestone for 15 participants from diverse backgrounds.
Using a revolutionary tool named the ‘Health Barometer,’ participants tracked their progress across ten vital parameters before and after the program.
Astonishingly, they collectively reported enhancements ranging from 10% to 30% in just two months.
One participant shared her success story, stating,
“I lost 3 kilos over eight weeks, didn’t experience pre-menstrual (PMS) symptoms, and felt exuberant energy levels throughout the day.”
Dr Dhir, the program’s leading figure, underscored the necessity for medical professionals to dispel health misconceptions.
His philosophy, encapsulated by the quote “Health is not merely the absence of disease. True health radiates through one’s aura, influencing even those in the outermost circles,” resonated deeply with participants.
Gagan Agrawal, MIC’s secretary, stressed the significance of collaboration among local governments, non-profits, and community members in addressing health challenges.
“Bringing together local health experts and community members allows us to share ideas and address issues specific to our environment. This approach not only tackles local health concerns but also unites diverse communities around a common priority—our health!”
The program’s success lies in its holistic approach, integrating structured education, physical activity, and mindfulness practices. Each 90-minute session covered mind, body, heart, gut, and soul, comprising 30 minutes each of education, exercise, and meditation.
MIC and PHM have announced an ongoing partnership to expand this transformative initiative to a wider audience. This collaboration not only promises to redefine health paradigms but also aims to build a healthier, more united community in Maroondah and beyond.
