Podcast Overview

Rooted in clinical expertise and nourished by ancient wisdom, Routes of Healing is a podcast for those drawn to medicine practiced with depth. Hosted by Dr. Siri Chand Khalsa, an Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine physician, this is a space where evidence-based science meets intuitive, lived wisdom. After the residency, after the burnout, after the fellowship and years of additional training, Dr. Siri Chand returned to a medical career on her own terms. Routes of Healing is the podcast born from that path, and from a belief that the roots of disease often carry the seeds of transformation. Each episode is an intimate conversation with a physician or expert practicing at the leading edge of integrative and lifestyle medicine. Guests share both their clinical insight and the more personal story of how they came to practice the way they do, why they stepped away from systems that no longer fit, and what they have learned about healing along the way. Conversations move fluidly between data and dharma, between the measurable and the felt, between what the research shows and what the body already knows. This podcast was made with women in medicine in mind. The physicians questioning the models they trained in. The clinicians integrating ancient knowing with modern science. The healers practicing in alignment with their values rather than against them. And the wellness seekers committed to a more conscious, embodied life. If you have ever felt that medicine, as practiced, leaves something essential out, this is a conversation you belong in. The themes are wide and interconnected. Whole-person healing. Plant-forward nutrition. Sleep, stress, and the nervous system. Hormones, longevity, and metabolic health. Mental health, trauma, and the body. Cardiovascular prevention. Physician burnout and the path back to alignment. The threads differ each episode, but the weave is the same: medicine that treats the whole person, in the whole context of a life. At its heart, Routes of Healing affirms that healing is plural: physical, emotional, relational, spiritual, and systemic. It holds space for the quiet revolution happening among physicians who refuse to practice in ways that diminish them or their patients. Prevention, lifestyle, and lived wisdom belong at the center of medicine, not the margins. New episodes weekly. Subscribe wherever you listen, and join the wider Vishuddha community at vishuddha.com. This is medicine remembered. This is healing returned to its roots.

Mama Tuition: The Knowing Every Woman Carries with Dr. Anik Cockcroft

In this week's episode of Routes of Healing, Dr. Siri Chand Khalsa sits down with Dr. Anik Cockroft, a board-certified pediatrician, sports medicine physician, and the creator of Mama Mindset, a space devoted to empowering expectant and postpartum mothers. A Maui mama of three including a toddler, Anik brings to her work a deeply holistic lens shaped by her medical training and a master's in mental health counseling with a focus on play therapy and family dynamics.For years she cared for the keiki of the islands at Kapi'olani and was present at the births of hundreds of babies, witnessing mothers harness their divine power in the delivery room. That sacred work planted a seed. Over time, Anik came to recognize that she had been a mama doula for the women in her life and the women she served clinically, holding space for them with raw, transparent aloha.Together, Dr. Siri Chand and Dr. Anik explore the path of the wounded healer, the childhood anxiety that first taught her to listen to her body, the courage it took to take twelve weeks postpartum during residency, and the slow, sacred pivot out of clinical medicine when her own mama tuition asked her to color outside the lines.This conversation also opens into deeper terrain. Anik speaks about delivery room energy, the inborn knowing every nurturing woman carries whether or not she becomes a mother in the traditional sense, the practice of surrender as a creative force, and what it means to release the metrics of success in favor of becoming.Whether you are an expectant or postpartum mother, a physician navigating the question of how to practice in alignment with your values, a sensitive soul who has been told you were too much, or simply someone in a season of incubation waiting for what wants to be born through you, this episode offers grounded insight, validation, and a tender invitation to trust your knowing.If you're inspired by our exploration on Roots of Healing, a physician-led podcast uplifting the wisdom and lived experience of integrative and lifestyle medicine doctors, subscribe to receive new episodes weekly.<h3>🔑 Key Topics & Takeaways</h3><ul><li>The wounded healer: How childhood panic attacks became Anik's first invitation into healing, and why she believes emotions are teachers rather than problems to be solved.</li><li>Sensitivity as superpower: Reclaiming the empath's gift after a lifetime of being told she was "too much."</li><li>The art of active listening: Why presence, not the next agenda, is one of the most healing tools we have.</li><li>Higher calling, not next accolade: How surrender carried her into medicine after rounds of rejection and reframed her path as a vehicle to serve.</li><li>Hawaii as classroom: The way aloha culture and the islands shaped her as a physician and human.</li><li>Twelve weeks postpartum: The quiet act of courage to honor her newborn daughter and her own healing, even at the cost of graduating on time.</li><li>Trailblazing softly: Making space for the residents who came after her by simply taping a sign on a call room door.</li><li>The growing knowing: How a cell-deep awareness asked her to pivot out of a clinical role she had earned and prepared for.</li><li>Mama tuition: The inborn knowing every nurturing woman carries, whether or not she becomes a mother in the traditional sense.</li><li>Delivery room energy: The divine creative force witnessed at birth and woven into every woman's DNA.</li><li>Mama Mindset as incubation: Why surrender, not strategy, has been the architect of her work.</li><li>Storytelling as medicine: Bringing color, family names, and humanness back into the clinical encounter.</li><li>Adversity and reinvention: The lifelong reframe that adversity causes some to break and others to break records.</li><li>Ancestral presence: The energetic lineage of women who came before and stand with us in the work of creative becoming.</li></ul> <h3>⏱ Chapters</h3>00:00 — Opening Reflection 00:22 — Welcome and Introduction 02:00 — Meeting Dr. Anik Cockroft 03:15 — A Florida Childhood Among the Lakes 05:30 — Middle School Panic Attacks and the Counselor Who Changed Everything 07:30 — Mental Health Counseling and Clinical Social Work 09:45 — Vulnerability and the Wounded Healer 13:00 — Sensitivity as a Superpower 15:30 — Mental Health as a Vital Sign 18:00 — Active Listening as Healing 20:30 — Marriage, Medical School, and Becoming a Physician 23:00 — Moving 5,000 Miles to Hawaii 25:30 — Pregnancy During Fellowship and a Growing Grief 27:00 — Daring to Take Twelve Weeks Postpartum 30:00 — The Pumping Sign That Made Room for Others 32:00 — Missed Milestones and a Reframe That Held Her 33:30 — Crying With Patients and Leading With Vulnerability 35:30 — The Growing Knowing to Pivot 37:00 — A Sunset Walk and the Conversation That Changed Everything 38:30 — Declining the Position and Stepping Into the Unknown 40:30 — The Breath: Birth, Death, and Reverence 44:00 — Delivery Room Energy and Mama Tuition 46:30 — Empowering Mothers as the Experts on Their Children 48:30 — The Off-Script Question That Shaped a Life 51:00 — Inflammation of the Soul and the Hustle Culture 52:30 — Creating Mama Mindset and Releasing the Metrics 56:30 — Writing Mama Tuition by Speaking It Into Being 59:00 — Holding a Timeless, Non-Linear Model of Becoming 1:02:00 — Service Self and the Receiving Self 1:06:00 — The Sole Currency of Soul Connection 1:08:30 — Storytelling as the Art of Medicine 1:10:00 — Creative Pockets in the Day 1:12:00 — Where to Find Dr. Anik Cockroft 1:14:30 — Closing Reflections<h3>About Today's Guest</h3>Anik Cockroft, DO Pediatrics • Sports Medicine • Creator of Mama Mindset®Anik is a Maui Mama of three, including a toddler, and a Board-Certified Pediatrician and Sports Medicine Physician who now serves fully outside the bounds of clinical medicine.

Who Do You Want to Become? Empowering Women's Choices with Dr. Janeeka Benoit

In this week's episode of Roots of Healing, Dr. Siri Chand Khalsa sits down with Dr. Janeeka Benoit, a board-certified internal medicine and sports medicine physician and the founder of InVessel Health and Wellness. Dr. J's work focuses on helping high-achieving women navigate the metabolic, hormonal, and identity shifts of perimenopause and menopause through a comprehensive, personalized approach that honors both science and lived experience.Together, they explore why our metabolism responds to truth rather than force, how to recognize when the body is asking for something different, and why so many driven women find that the strategies that once worked no longer serve them. Dr. J shares her own turning point, an 18-pound weight gain and rising cholesterol in her mid-thirties, and how that experience deepened her commitment to a more whole-person model of care.This conversation also opens into broader questions around the limits of traditional medicine, the courage it takes to build something different, and the inner work of grieving an old identity to make space for who we are becoming. Dr. J speaks with warmth and clarity about meeting women where they are, identifying the thoughts and feelings beneath the symptoms, and creating sustainable habits that support energy, vitality, and purpose.Whether you are moving through midlife shifts, feeling at odds with your body, carrying aging parents while raising children, or simply longing for a more thoughtful and individualized approach to your own health, this episode offers grounded insight, validation, and an invitation to come home to yourself.If you're inspired by our exploration on Roots of Healing, a physician-led podcast uplifting the wisdom and lived experience of integrative and lifestyle medicine doctors, subscribe to receive new episodes weekly.<h3>Key Topics & Takeaways</h3><ul><li>Metabolism and truth: Why pushing harder often backfires, and how listening to the body creates more sustainable change than discipline alone.</li><li>The DO foundation: How osteopathic training centers on finding health, not just diagnosing disease, and how OMT brings structure, mind, and body into one conversation.</li><li>A rare clinical pairing: How combining internal medicine with sports medicine creates space for understanding both the inner physiology and how the body moves through the world.</li><li>Personal experience as medicine: Dr. J's own 18-pound weight gain and rising LDL in her mid-thirties became the catalyst for building a different kind of practice.</li><li>Beyond GLP-1s: Why medications can be useful tools, but lifestyle, behavior, and the psychological relationship with food remain the foundation.</li><li>The feelings wheel and thought work: How identifying emotions, and the thoughts beneath them, helps high-achieving women locate themselves and find clarity.</li><li>Eating for nourishment, not survival: How busy women often default to hyper-palatable foods at the end of long days, and what shifts when meals become intentional.</li><li>Recovery as medicine: Why high-performing women often need permission to rest, and how worthiness of rest becomes part of the healing itself.</li><li>Identity in midlife: The gradual grief, and gift, of releasing an older version of self to make room for who we are becoming.</li><li>The practice of silence: How starting the day in stillness anchors women in their own truth and protects them from absorbing the noise of others' expectations.</li><li>The deeper why: What women actually want when they say they want to lose weight, and how vitality, energy, and sustainability become the real goal.</li><li>Mentorship and courage: How relationships with mentors gave Dr. J the audacity to step outside the traditional model and build a practice in alignment with her values.</li></ul> <h3>⏱ Chapters</h3>00:00 — Opening Reflection00:30 — Welcome and Introduction01:41 — Meet Dr. Janeeka Benoit02:19 — Why Metabolism Responds to Truth, Not Force03:40 — Origin Story: Growing Up in Her Father's Practice04:53 — The DO Path and Finding Health, Not Just Disease07:25 — Internal Medicine, Sports Medicine, and the Whole Person08:21 — OMT and the Wisdom of Osteopathic Training10:52 — A Personal Turning Point at Mid-Thirties13:00 — Beyond GLP-1s: Why Comprehensive Care Matters14:13 — Founding InVessel Health and Wellness16:09 — Doing It Scared: Stepping Out of the Traditional Model17:50 — The Power of Mentorship in Medicine21:45 — Inside the Practice: Membership and Personalized Intake25:14 — Where to Begin Working With Dr. J27:00 — The Midlife Stretch: Body, Career, and Caregiving29:13 — The Feelings Wheel and the Thoughts Beneath the Tension32:43 — Catching What Others Miss in Intake37:13 — Eating for Nourishment, Not Survival40:23 — When the Real Goal Is Recovery, Not More Muscle43:00 — What Women Actually Want: Energy, Vitality, Sustainability44:50 — Rest and Recovery for the High Achiever47:19 — Grieving an Old Identity to Become Who You Are50:51 — A New Relationship With Self, Food, and Body52:36 — The Practice of Silence and Intentional Mornings55:47 — Where to Begin: Who Do You Want to Become?59:34 — How to Connect With Dr. Janeeka Benoit1:00:56 — Closing Reflections<h3>About Today's Guest</h3>Janeeka "Dr. J" Benoit, DO Internal Medicine • Sports Medicine • Metabolic Health for High-Achieving WomenDr. Janeeka "Dr. J" Benoit helps high-achieving women who feel frustrated by their body finally understand what it needs.She is a Board-Certified Internal Medicine and Sports Medicine physician and founder of InVessel Health & Wellness.

Pause, Presence, and What Wants to Emerge with Dr. Jessie Mahoney

<h2>Pause, Presence, and What Wants to Emerge with Dr. Jessie Mahoney</h2>In this week's episode of Roots of Healing, Dr. Siri Chand Khalsa sits down with Dr. Jessie Mahoney, a board-certified pediatrician, certified physician coach, mindfulness and yoga teacher, and the founder of Pause & Presence. After nearly two decades as a pediatrician and physician leader at The Permanente Medical Group, Jessie stepped outside the traditional medical model to reimagine what sustainable well-being in healthcare could look like.Together, they trace Jessie's path from delivering a sibling at the age of twelve and choosing pediatrics as a child, to motherhood in medical training, to two decades of leadership at Kaiser, and finally to the moment she realized she could no longer alter the same coat to make it fit. Jessie shares the inner work that quietly made leaving possible: coach training, yoga teacher training, mindfulness practice, and the willingness to develop muscles she did not yet know she would need.This conversation also opens into deeper questions about belief, embodiment, and the pace of becoming. Jessie describes the future-self exercise that gave her clarity, the terror that followed giving notice, the pandemic pivot that turned her plan upside down, and the unexpected way Nicasio Creek Farm came to be the home of her retreats. She speaks honestly about the "twangy moments" that still arrive when something is shifting, and why intuition, paired with a regulated nervous system, is one of the most reliable instruments a physician carries.Whether you are a physician feeling a quiet inner stirring, a healthcare leader curious about coaching and mindfulness, or anyone drawn to a slower, more intentional way of practicing medicine, this episode offers honest reflection, practical wisdom, and the reminder that you do not have to know the how before you take the first step.If you're inspired by our exploration on Roots of Healing, a physician-led podcast uplifting the wisdom and lived experience of integrative and lifestyle medicine doctors, subscribe to receive new episodes weekly.<h2>Key Topics & Takeaways</h2>Pediatric origin story: How Jessie knew at age twelve, after watching her brother be born, that she wanted to be a pediatrician, and how the positive feedback loop of medicine kept her on a linear path.Motherhood in medical training: Being one of nine women in her UCSF class to have a child during medical school, and what that revealed about a system not built for the people inside it.Two decades at Kaiser Permanente: Building a career, raising three children, and serving as Chief of Physician Health and Wellness while quietly outgrowing the role.The integration years: Coach training, yoga teacher training, and mindfulness practice approached as self-permission rather than career planning.Whose belief, whose results: Why borrowed beliefs from family or culture often determine the life we end up living, and how to gently set them down.Future-self wisdom: Asking your sixty-year-old self what she would wish you had done, and trusting her answer.Giving notice: The terror that did not give way to relief, and the pandemic that arrived six weeks later.What coaching actually is: A forward-looking, strength-based practice that is not therapy, not mentorship, and not advice.Pause & Presence: Building a coaching and retreat practice rooted in mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle medicine.Nicasio Creek Farm: The four-acre property north of San Francisco that became the embodied home of the work, and the unexpected way it came to be.The retreat experience: Seven women physicians, four days, plant-forward farm-to-table meals, yoga, sound healing, forest bathing, and small-group coaching as CME.The twangy moments: Why intuition still requires courage, even after years of practice.You do not know the how: The reminder that clarity arrives after the first step, not before.<h2>Chapters</h2>00:00 — Introduction and Welcome01:55 — Meet Dr. Jessie Mahoney02:50 — A Pediatrician's Origin Story at Age Twelve05:00 — Once a Pediatrician, Always a Pediatrician06:35 — UCSF and the First Class of Women08:00 — Motherhood During Medical Training09:00 — Choosing Kaiser Oakland for Residency10:30 — Berkeley Roots and Growing Misalignment12:30 — Chief of Wellness and Asking Better Questions14:00 — Coach Training, Yoga, and the Permission to Explore17:00 — The Sabbatical and Borrowing Belief19:30 — Whose Belief, Whose Results22:30 — The Lifelong Learner Without an Agenda24:30 — Caring for Clinicians and the Suppression of Needs27:00 — Wisdom From Your Sixty-Year-Old Self30:00 — Giving Notice and the Pandemic Pivot33:00 — Coaching Stanford Anesthesia Fellows35:30 — What Coaching Actually Is39:00 — Stumbling Onto a Retreat Space41:00 — When Your Spouse Becomes Your Business Partner43:30 — Finding Nicasio Creek Farm46:00 — Embodied Living on the Farm48:30 — Skeptical Physicians and the First-Night Sound Healing51:00 — Who Retreats Are For, and Who They Are Not54:00 — Inside the Women's Physician Retreat58:00 — Speaking the Language of Physiology1:00:30 — What People Leave With1:03:30 Visionary by Upbringing, Not by Plan1:05:00 The Twangy Moments and Trusting Yourself1:06:30 For the Physician Feeling Her Own Stirring1:09:00 Where to Find Dr. Jessie Mahoney1:11:30 Closing Reflections<h2>About Today's Guest</h2><h3>Jessie Mahoney, MD</h3>Physician Coach • Mindfulness & Yoga Teacher • Keynote & TEDx Speaker • Retreat FacilitatorJessie Mahoney is a board-certified pediatrician, certified coach, physician wellness leader, mindfulness/yoga teacher, keynote and TEDx speaker, and founder of Pause &amp;

What is Routes of Healing?: Rooted in clinical expertise and nourished by ancient wisdom, Routes of Healing is a podcast for those drawn to medicine practiced with depth.

Hosted by Dr. Siri Chand Khalsa, an Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine physician, this is a space where evidence-based science meets intuitive, lived wisdom. After the residency, after the burnout, after the fellowship and years of additional training, Dr. Siri Chand returned to a medical career on her own terms. Routes of Healing is the podcast born from that path, and from a belief that the roots of disease often carry the seeds of transformation.

Each episode is an intimate conversation with a physician or expert practicing at the leading edge of integrative and lifestyle medicine. Guests share both their clinical insight and the more personal story of how they came to practice the way they do, why they stepped away from systems that no longer fit, and what they have learned about healing along the way. Conversations move fluidly between data and dharma, between the measurable and the felt, between what the research shows and what the body already knows.

This podcast was made with women in medicine in mind. The physicians questioning the models they trained in. The clinicians integrating ancient knowing with modern science. The healers practicing in alignment with their values rather than against them. And the wellness seekers committed to a more conscious, embodied life. If you have ever felt that medicine, as practiced, leaves something essential out, this is a conversation you belong in.

The themes are wide and interconnected. Whole-person healing. Plant-forward nutrition. Sleep, stress, and the nervous system. Hormones, longevity, and metabolic health. Mental health, trauma, and the body. Cardiovascular prevention. Physician burnout and the path back to alignment. The threads differ each episode, but the weave is the same: medicine that treats the whole person, in the whole context of a life.

At its heart, Routes of Healing affirms that healing is plural: physical, emotional, relational, spiritual, and systemic. It holds space for the quiet revolution happening among physicians who refuse to practice in ways that diminish them or their patients. Prevention, lifestyle, and lived wisdom belong at the center of medicine, not the margins.
