' Why me ' this is the question I think everyone asks themselves when they are sick or going through any kind of problems. But beleive me it can happen with any one like sam said and when I was diagnosed with migraine I also asked that question to myself but this was my destiny and I am now on proper medication. When sam took break for a year she might be not doing films but she was entertaining us through Instagram and I really adore and appreciate her for her bravery. I am really in love with this series or u can say Sam's content creation, please don't stop it . Lots of love to u ❤❤❤
Since I was born I had slight stomach issues but it never got very bad. When I was 13 it started getting bad. I had muscle weakness, inflammation, chronic migraines and it just got worse and then I got diagnosed with depression and anxiety . We went to so many doctors everyone just said it’s in my head. At 14 I had a very very restricted diet and so many medicines for no reason. All my friends made fun of me. This continued for a while until I gave up and said I don’t care about my health. I ate bad food and I was in a bad space. I thought my life had ended. I’m 21 now and while my health hasn’t improved much it has improved a bit and I’ve started to take care of my food going to the gym and Sam I have to say it’s only because of you. Through the last year the one person who made me feel less alone who gave me comfort was you. And now with this podcast especially I feel like I wish someone told me all this when I was 13. Sam you don’t know how much you have done for me. It’s so inspiring to me. You are so strong I love you so much I hope I can be like you one day. Thank you so much 🫶❤️🥹
This women is incredible...Someone I always look upto ...her strength of character ...her resilience when facing challenges ...her empathy ...the way she love people ...her innocent and pure heart ...she is undoubtedly one of the finest and most admired person that makes her stand out of the crowd and she created her own legacy ❤ we love u sam always and forever 😘😘♥️💚 U are truly God choosen ones 😊 u are blessed and loved by millions of people around the world ❤
I’ve always been selfishly wanted to know more about you and especially this phase of your life. My wishes has been heard. Thankyou my strong warrior, Sam and Alkesh sir for doing this and sharing it without any hesitation. That’s what making you a different from any artists! Most useful and exciting content page ever. Love and strength to you Sam 🫶🏻🤗
'WHY ME' this is so relatable ,i always ask myself why i have this autoimmune condition at this young age at 18 where everyone at my age are all fine and healthy ,what have i done to suffer like this i feel helpless sometimes when i get sudden flare ups on my body ,gets stressed about it which leads to more flare ups ,it gets too difficult sometimes that it feels like do i have to live my whole life like that with this but now i am gonna take steps towards healing my body and myself, you have been such inspiration for us all by sharing your story .Thanks a lot❤
Every single word from her mouth resonated with me as if I am talking about my experience from her body, the ups and downs and then fighting it then accepting it, talking to someone to understand it more then finally solving your issues at your own and being self sufficient and contented about life 🙏🙏🙏
It needs so much of inner strength , resilience , honesty and integrity to share the experiences and also coming out so successfully and becoming more humble and grounded. Very inspiring and particularly liked the way u begin the day.
Thank you Sam ❤ I’m going through an auto immune condition and I can relate to all the things which you spoke about. Everyday is different and I’m still trying to find ways to cope with it. Positive affirmations and daily journaling I’m going to do in the morning as I’m also an anxious person and mornings are really hard for me. Thank you for everything
Extremely beautiful video Sam. Every point resonates with my life. Suffering from multiple autoimmune disorders has made life, a literal hell for me. The struggle for the last 5 years has been nothing short of sickening and your words gave comfort to my broken soul. You have immense support and money/people to guide you. But people like me cant afford that. So please share your journey of healing so that i could learn from it. Loads of love to you Queen ❤
Hey Sam, watching this episode made me really happy and good. I was diagnosed with SLE when I was 22yrs and now I'm 29..In this journey without proper diagnosis, proper treatment I had to go through alot of pain & sufferings.In the middle got to know that I had an overlap of 2 conditions, SLE overlapping scleroderma. From last 3yrs I found the right doctor & I'm taking treatment & recovering... Everything which u have told about ur experiences & pain in this episode, I felt it was a reflection of mine too. I saw a mirror of mine in u. Nobody around us can't feel/experience/understand the pain that we go through unless they go through it. Felt happy that I saw someone who is in the same boat as me could understand everything & spoke about wat all we go through 😊
the entire podcast until now was really helpful.. i have gone throughout the videos once and second time with a pen and book writing down the points! Looking forward to know more about gut health.. and the diet that a women can follow for better lifestyle.. i mentioned women in specific because of the stages they go through w.r.t harmones on monthly basis, in pregnancy and postpartum etc.
Hello Sam Iam basically from Tamilnadu and I live in Toronto. In the year 2015 I got diagnosed with Solar Urticaria, sun allergy. I get very bad rashes, whole body hives and my body turns pink/red if I am out in the sun for more than 10 to 15mts. I started with Homoeo, Sidda, unnani. Nothing helped . Then I stopped everything and started having all natural powder like neem, Moranga, guava leaf powder, oregano, nettle. Later in 2021, I realized the sun which gave me the allergy is the one which is going to cure my sun allergy. I used to get scared of sun before and not any more. And started yoga in the year 2022 and I do yoga all 7 days, physical and mediation with breathing exercises. Not sure which worked, slowly the hives got subsided. I have acid reflex, psoriatic arthritis, migraines at present and today on this episode, I have learnt that a leaky gut is the devil which caused all. I used to take lot of antibiotics and today I realized that, that’s the cause of a leaky gut. Thank you Sam and Dr, a much clearer explanation
I am going through auto immune condition called multiple sclerosis in past 3yrs... literally till now i feel anxiety and stressed, most of the time and why me question in my head. Thank you mam sharing ur experience ❤..i will follow ur tips
I really resonate with your experience and thoughts. How genuine you are to put yourself out there without hypocrisy! I always look up to you as a person and your wonderfully authentic self. You are someone every middle-class person can see themselves in, especially considering the statement about operating from fear of failure and always feeling not good enough. Please don’t stop sharing your thoughts due to any of the haters out there. There are many people like me who wake up taking you as a role model. If I could ask, I’d love to hear your perception on meditation versus strength training, leading a simple life, being sportive, and not being impacted by anything or anyone. I’m usually not a big fan of social media posts and writing comments, but since you mentioned toward the end that you will read comments, hoping that this message will reach you.
This episode goes top of other episodes. Bcz the individual who is going through health issues needs to know how to deal with it from gathering all the inner strength.....and being gratitude to your body for keeping you alive. And believing in that you deserve to be happy.
I think you hit with this problem of Auto Immune disorder just to serve a big purpose till you get this health issue maybe maximum no.of people were not aware of it.. Once u start talking about it we knew about it and here you are now giving us all insights through your pod casts and giving us immense knowledge to how deal on our mental health ,gut health and over all lifestyle...Thank you so much Sam for such nice insights...Love u forever.. ❤ Also ur fan forever waiting for Citadel 🎉 Advance congratulations I'm sure ur gonna rock it ❤❤❤
Sam this episode is a little emotional & insightful on many levels because of the similarities I find & can easily relate to - 1) operating from fear 2) not being patient enough 3) not giving credit to oneself even if it's the smallest thing 4) not prioritising ourselves & our health before anything & anyone else. All of which I am trying to alter & find the better alternative which prices out to be the best one. Firstly, thank you Sam for doing this because the amount of impact you have already had on me through your previous is itself big what adds on with this podcast is the information/knowledge I am trying to inculcate & slowly but definitely trying to put it to work. Helping me as a student & an individual to learn things. Secondly, sending you all the love, strength, happiness & positivity your way because you deserve the best - the very best. Knowing you on many levels is like revealing each later of myself to ne because that's how much you have influenced & inspired me - all good. Like you put on your post that you feel like a warrior, yes you are a WARRIOR Sam, someone who fell but also gets back up, stands strong & grows bigger, bolder & better. Always remember that you are doing great in every aspect & are a wonderful human being - my darling queen I love you. Thirdly, Alkesh you have too been extremely generous & helpful through this journey of the podcast. And now learning more about how you have helped Sam is also going to help many others too. Thank you! Lastly, this series on autoimmunity has been useful & feels good to hear more about these things & Sam. Now I can't wait for the upcoming topics that would be discussed ( a few of them which Sam mentioned in a recent video) & learn so much again. Great going Sam & Alkesh. Extremely happy & proud with Take20 & everything y'all have achieved along the course. Keep doing the good work & touching lives. ❤❤❤ I would also like to see y'all touch upon topics like mental health, Pcos/Pcod, addictions & discuss about them. PS - sorry for such a long comment. Just penning down my love, admiration & respect for the 2 of you & your works.
Thank you for that beautiful message, we love reading long posts :) We are glad the podcast is of value to you. We will definitely try to talk about the topics that you mentioned. Thanks a lot.
I too was diagnosed with myositis two year back. I can relate it and Understand ur plight ..... I was following a very bad lifestyle....like sleeping very less, pushing myself etc.. I too relzd it and took a break... Today I feel better.. Not that am recovered but can surly say improving... Everything u said is very very true as seen in my case too... Thank you so much...
Great tip on Journaling! I now am coming to believe and possibly implement this! Dr.Rangan chatterjee says same thing about healing and managing stress! Thanks to Sam in bringing this to light again and re-affirming that it works, you are truly leading by example!
Most of us work on our fears to achive success, excelently articulated. So true, we should force ourself to work on things not for fear of something but to get 1 level up in learning something and enriching ourself. Lots of love Sam 🫶 true inspiration!
Thankyou Alkesh for sharing your knowledge and SAM, what can I say you are nothing but INCREDIBLE.. pls dont stop being what you are!! Im soooo glad that i could able to relate with most of the things that you spoke.
Thank you both of you for doing this…not only it applies to autoimmune condition and also to people who feel why this happened to me ? Because of any unexpected situation arises in their life…at the end of the tunnel there is more light n this roadblocks will led us to the purpose of our life. Truly touched and inspired

You are being the voice for the voiceless. I am sure many people could relate themselves with you, those who went through the hardship all alone and made it a win. You have won million hearts being as an actress and now I’m pretty sure and proud you win many heart being as human. This is the first time I wanted to open to you more about why I love your courageous spirit and why I wanted to know more about how you made it like a rockstar . When I got eletrocuted 2 years before, I straightly went to work the next hour, considering the “hustle culture” .. *sorry trigger warning* I was burning alive with those peeled skin, wounded flesh and clogged blood on my all fingers yet I pretend “I am okay” infront of people. Days of crying, how am I going to survive with this extreme pain. I had to eat alone, i had to dress up the wound by myself . It was my first ever experience of how it looks like when life pulls you down all at time without help of anyone or atleast to vent it out to someone. I have only myself Sam. The scars are still there, all around my right finger and remember you said “ the scars made me more beautiful”? IT WAS PERSONAL FOR ME 😭 only later I embrace those scars on how I fought the battle all alone!!!! THAT’S WHY I BELIEVE UNIVERSE SENT YOU TO ME FOR A REASON!!! You were there for me, comforting me without having single idea. It was the nightmare days of my life, and I got you, “if Sam can do it, then I can” .. few months later I met accident, I shattered, it was so hard to recover from those trauma one after another. That’s why I always look up on you. You are the source of my strength and joy. The days I have spent praying for you health, the 30 days of taking vow being vegetarian only for you, eat clean, think good, never a day passed before sleeping to miss praying for you. You made me strong right? Shouldn’t I payback as thankfulness? So let my prayers do it from miles distance 🤍 I know if you are doing good there, I am sure I will do good here . When I look back all my happiness, it has always you being the ONLY reason behind it. Sam, I’ve made a promise to God, to make US meet & he made it, and as always for your good health and wellness, I’m on my second time of the vow for you. I don’t know, I see you as my most most favorite human first, your profession is secondary. I see myself in you, when you fall, I could feel the aching, when you rise , I could feel the warm. There are so so many similarities between you and me, dear Sam. That’s why i could relate alot. I love you so so much till the world ends or in another universe. They said “she did not give you anything why are you worshipping, I corrected them , i idolised her, she gives me happiness without her knowing and her speech pumped my energy to the highest point . Thankyou for existing my Samantha , as always “I SEE ME IN YOU, you are a part of me” 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 I love you alot … really alot ! 😭
Really it's so helpful samanta garu, can you please do one podcast on those who are leaving their career to take care of family and feeling guit about their passion and especially for those who are in 30 to 40 age group women, every one take it for granted don't know how to handle all these
Thank you Sam and Alkesh for this beautiful platform. Many of us are lack the knowledge and information shared in your podcast so far. Please continue to share the knowledge.
Just after listening to this podcast i had realised that how my health getting into the bad track actually and i realised to clear all the trash i made and also started to take good amount of healthy food and thanks for making me realise ❤ lots of love sending for u 🫂❤️
You should really be proud of what you are sam and what you are doing. Million thanks to you Sam and Alkesh for your podcast. It was indeed very insightful. I'm dealing with my own health issues on a daily basis. Your podcast was very helpful and it felt like someone was consoling me saying that it's going to be okay and that I can beat this.

That's why I am feeling better mental physical strength is so better . Ur role model for autoimmune disorder patients.how to improve the health issues.tqso much for your suggestions tq.
I have taken notes sincerely for all the episodes. I could relate to every single word. I underwent the same and I am also in remission now. I took accupuncture treatment and made life style changes. Now i have a 1.5 year old son. I know you are happy Sam, but I wish cute little babies for you. Trust me, the pure love that we get from our babies, will fill the emptiness in us.
Very inspiring podcast…whenever bad happens its common to think “ why me” but dont think the same when good things happen to us…nothing is permanent …patience is the key
Thank you samantha, you have connected to so many of us who suffer from autoimmunity❤ Recounting your experience and bringing in an expert to share tips on how to manage this condition has helped me immensely. I went through hell and back when I was first diagnosed but I survived that and I am so proud of myself 🥹
My respect on you getting higher day by day, your life become my life motivation Sam . You are such a strongest person I saw , you are such beautiful in heart and angel sam❤️ love you always Sam, you are my motivation
It's such an eye opening podcast. And moreover after listening to her I had gone through exact same thoughts. And reading all comments make me feel I am not alone. Even I can deal with Autoimmune of mine. I live in US but took a break from my work currently. I wasn't able to handle my work and family. I was stressed out more and the guilt of not able to be for my family even though I am physically there. I felt helpless. None of the medications were working. My autoimmune medications had lot of sideeffects. Don't know why am I even taking those. I was always been sick. My 4yr old started to ask me why are you sick always. Tried ayyrveda. Didn't work for me. Now I left my family in US convinced my Lil son. Currently taking Acupuncture treatment (Tradinal Chinese medicine). I am definitely seeing lot of improvement physically. Soon in 15 days I will be going though a blood work. I really hope it shows me improvements even on paper. 🤞🤞 Thanks for sharing your experience Sam . I am going to take your word and will start on gratitude journal everyday.
Sam Kudos to you....,I am immensely happy seeing you coming back. I am seeing your recent Instagram posts.....you look amazing...... Be strong and keep motivating all of us. Your are an inspiration to lot of women out there
Would really like to know what were your first symptoms, what should one look out for, how was it diagnosed, how did it impact you physically, what was the second course of action you took that finally benefitted you aside of the 1st round of medicines? Most ppl don't know much about these disorders so might help to hear what exactly this disorder looks and feels like. Thank you for sharing your experiences and being so vulnerable! More power to you and wishing you better days ahead!
Thank you for this beautiful episode. Greatly enjoyed. Can we talk about “Can we ever let go of our past to live happily” on next or maybe future episodes. Thank you Sam & Alkesh. Love from Malaysia
Great insights …. ❤❤❤ love how Sam told when we want to receive something make sure to give it to yourself first 👌👌👌👌👌👌 I felt like hearing a saint talking with all the wisdom.. the calmness in your voice itself is so soothing to hear and listen .. we are proud of you as well Sam ❤ keep smiling and shining and you deserve more 👸👸👸👸👸👸👸 you said your team will b reading comments, please pass this love to our dear Sam ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great episode as always Sam! You can talk about what diet you are on and what modification you did to your lifestyle as in exercises and people that you surround yourself with?
Learnt a lot. What stuck with me was how subconsciously we associate our personal definition of succes with superficial things. We let our worth to be defined on it. Eye opener👐. Will be practicing gratitude journal from now on. I really didn't want the episode to end. Thank u for bringing this to us.Much love and strength to you Sam❤❤❤

So great and calming to hear both of you and so inspirational. How does one keep oneself motivated during flare ups and regression phases when old and new symptoms show up. How to keep trudging along and keep oneself motivated…..and avoid self sabotaging habits and going back to unhealthy habits and thoughts, please put up a podcast on motivation and dealing with anxiety during autoimmune journey ….and family friends around don’t understand what we are going through…..they think we r looking normal but inside fighting pain and this condition Thank you
When I was diagnosed with SLE I was just 16 year old at that time I never knew what this was I was very careless..but as days passed the table just turned around because the past 3 years(now I'm 21)were very horrible and it thought me what actually is SLE and the inflammations and the flareups I used to get are not easy to explain only those who have felt this can understand..I had a huge dream sam like you said..I was into sports but now I could barely walk for 100meters🙂...Somehow I'm now accepting the reality but the thing is no matter how much I try to fix my mental health but one thing that affects my mental health is that my family financial situation because my medical expenses my family is going through is huge....Now I have somehow fixing my mental health but the financial burden makes everything even worse🙂..But thanks for the motivation 🙂🙂
Glad to hear you’re doing better Samantha! What kind of dietary changes did you make. I assume you’re off all meds now? Curious how your journey changed after meds and how your put your condition in to remission. Was it the mental aspect which helped the most or diet or a combination of things. I’m having some auto immune sort of symptoms (not diagnosed with anything yet), but having a rough last 2 years. Any tips of actionable changes you made and how much each of them helped you would be great to hear
Writing is really super stress Reducer. Writing whenever u feel bad or feel good. Wat u want to be in ur life. Just write it down. Hand accept the mind process to fulfill and work for it
Your podcast really helped me Sam I am suffering with hives which is a kind of autoimmune disorder and endometriosis since 3 years had to leave all my favorite foods which cause inflammation 😅 I haven’t seen a single day without tablets I feel really motivated with your podcast if possible can you give more information on the anti inflammatory food which comes in less cost which everybody can afford and also if possible some deep insights on endometriosis Thanks Sam💙
thank you so much for this podcast, learnt so much information. I'm suffering from psoriasis an autoimmune condition in which the pain is increasing day by day.
As a medical student this is really helpful, if possible try to share your diet and My friend has Myositis from past two years, watching this for her❤😊
Fresh fruits fresh raw or steamed vegetable salads minimal home cooked grains and protein from plant or animal sources NO PROCESSED OR PACKAGED OR RESTAURANT FOOD .. is basic for any autoimmune condition..

Hi, both of you are great. I love to hear this kind of discussions. Could you please share your thoughts about using modern life appliances (air fryer, rice cooker, non stick cookware)? Do they really pose cancer risks? Whenever I try to buy any household appliances like this, I find California 65 warning in the description. I am so confused about what to do. Please help
How the heck does she do films, podcasts, a million interviews and attend events every single day? And not to mention the menstrual periods that come monthly and she still looks damn flawless!! I feel like garbage when I have my period. *I want to ask her how she deals with hers?* I get so tired by Friday and love to sleep in on Saturdays! 😅😂 but this woman is on the go go go always! 🎉😍🤩🤩🥳🤩 *For next topic, can you ask her about periods and being on the go and how to be mentally strong?* *Pls like my comment so she sees this!!!*
