Dr. Amrit Baral, a physician-scientist, epidemiologist, and biostatistician, breaks down the science of cannabis, its effects on the human body, and the debate over cannabis legalization in Nepal.

The conversation also examines whether cannabis improves sleep or creativity, its potential long-term effects on memory, and the health concerns associated with cannabis vaping, edibles, and heart health.

Is astrology real, or is there a psychological reason horoscope predictions feel so accurate? In this thought-provoking conversation, Bishal Ghimire, an iOS developer and astrologer, joins Dr. Anjela Regmi, a consultant psychiatrist, to explore the fascinating intersection of astrology, psychology, science, and mental health. Bishal shares his perspective on astrology from the unusual position of being an astrologer himself.

The conversation also examines why educated people are drawn to astrology and how beliefs about predictions can influence the way people understand their lives. Dr. Anjela Regmi brings a psychiatric perspective to discussions about astrology and mental health, handling patients with mental health conditions, and educating traditional healers. The conversation also touches on autism and the importance of understanding mental health responsibly. How can people protect themselves from fake astrologers and misleading predictions? What makes certain predictions feel convincing, and where should people draw the line between personal belief and professional mental health care? The guests explore these questions while discussing the risks of misinformation and the importance of responsible guidance. The episode also explores AI hallucinations and the challenges of relying on artificial intelligence for information. If you are interested in astrology, horoscope accuracy, astrology versus science, the psychology of belief, autism awareness, psychiatric care, or mental health in Nepal, this conversation offers several perspectives worth considering.

Kunda examines the Rasuwa flood, environmental risks, air pollution and its effect on the mountains, deforestation, afforestation, and the growing challenges surrounding sustainable development in Nepal. Can Nepal pursue fast development while still protecting the environment? Has “दिगो विकास” become more of a slogan than an actual development strategy? And how should journalists adapt as AI increasingly changes information, politics, and the media industry? Kunda also shares lessons from his experience in journalism, reflects on Nepal's development priorities, and offers advice to the next generation of journalists.

Can you really boost your immunity? Are autoimmune diseases increasing in Nepal? And how much do we actually understand about the human immune system? In this episode of the Sushant Pradhan Podcast, Prof. Dr. Dharmagat Bhattarai, Nepal's first and only subspecialist in Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology, explains the science behind immunity, autoimmune diseases, immune disorders, allergies, and rheumatological conditions. Dr. Dharmagat Bhattarai discusses why autoimmune diseases may be increasing, how immune diseases are treated in Nepal, and why Nepal still has significant awareness gaps around immune system diseases. He explains what the immune system actually is, whether age affects immunity, how people should approach a check-up for immunity disorders, and why the idea that you can simply "boost" your immune system is misleading. The conversation also explores how to make the immune system function properly, the limitations of the human body, genes and disease, gene editing, bone marrow transplantation and the rare ARPC1B disorder. Why does ARPC1B appear to affect some Nepalese patients? What can genetic research tell us about disease? And how could gene editing shape the future of human health?
