About the Scholar & The Guru
The Scholar and the Guru is a free-flowing conversation that provides an alternative and refreshing take on everything nutrition and wellness-related. Focused on cutting through the bullshit and filtering out “the noise” in today's oversaturated and over-mediated landscape, the show is designed to offer simple and tangible takeaways that can be applied in real life. Emphasizing an open format, the show is centered on four main themes (fitness, nutrition, spiritualism and social justice), touching on a wide range of topics aimed at encouraging awareness and critical thinking to mobilize individuals to take back their own health.
