This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Maui Nui, iRestore, and Rula.

As our parents get older, the roles slowly shift from them taking care of us to us helping take care of them. But how do you do that in a way that feels supportive, not controlling or preachy? And beyond that, how do we help them optimize their health so they can stay strong, independent, and full of life for as long as possible?

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with his sisters, Harshal and Kaya, to share the top seven things they’re doing to keep their parents healthy and thriving. Together, they explore the biggest mistakes people make when trying to create change in their parents’ lives and how those missteps can prevent lasting progress. They also dive into the seven strategies that made the most significant difference in their parents’ health journey, including strength training, increasing protein intake, and fostering community and a sense of belonging. Plus, they discuss the importance of mindset shifts, addressing sleep apnea, and building the simple habit of walking after meals.

In this episode, Dhru, Harshal, and Kaya dive into:

  • Dhru’s Intro and Background (00:00)

  • Biggest mistakes we make when approaching our parents (2:20)

  • Talking “at” versus “to” our parents (3:30)

  • Leading with empathy and compassion (7:30)

  • Making lifestyle changes fun through community (12:43)

  • Focusing on tiny wins instead of forcing big changes (18:48)

  • Movement and strength training as key components (22:28)

  • Changing environment and exposure (32:58)

  • Building meaningful connections (40:05)

  • Prioritizing protein for metabolic health (47:54)

  • Addressing sleep apnea and hearing loss (56:38)

  • Walking after meals as a core habit (1:04:18)

  • Sauna as an added bonus (1:07:58)

  • Final thoughts (1:11:28)
