In an age of viral health myths, misinformation fuels stress and drains productivity. Harvard physician and Washington Post columnist Dr. Pasricha shares how to filter fact from fiction, protect your health, and empower your team to thrive—with strategies grounded in science, not hype.
FIRESIDE CHAT
An intimate conversation for your team — moderated by your leadership, tailored to your culture.
Some of the most impactful corporate events aren't lectures—they're conversations. Dr. Pasricha is available for a fireside chat format designed specifically for corporate audiences: a sit-down gut health dialogue with your CEO, a senior leader, or an in-house moderator. Sessions typically close with an open Q&A — giving your team rare direct access to a Harvard physician-scientist and Washington Post health columnist.
What a fireside session typically covers:
-
Understanding gut feelings. The brain and digestive system are in constant, two-way communication. Understanding how that system actually works changes how people think about focus, stress, and performance.
-
The vagus nerve and the science of stress. 90% of the signals on the vagus nerve travel up—from gut to brain. Dr. Pasricha unpacks what that means for teams navigating high-pressure environments.
-
Scaling expertise without losing rigor. Her own career path—from Harvard physician-scientist to Washington Post columnist—opens a natural conversation about trust, communication, and how organizations build credibility at scale.
-
Actionable gut health habits. The session closes with practical, evidence-based takeaways your team can actually use to harness their own microbiomes with outsized returns.
This format works especially well for: all-hands events, executive offsites, employee wellness programming, leadership retreats, and speaker series at company headquarters.
