The Agartha Experience

#4: Birth Control

On this episode we go over the controversial subject of birth control and try to offer an objective perspective.

#3: Balanced Eating

On the latest episode our founders Gina Johnson and Siddharth Ramsundar cut through the noise around “good” and “bad” foods. We talk about why healthy eating isn’t about extreme diets or depriving yourself, but about enjoying real food in a balanced way. This covers everything from proteins, carbs, and fats to meal timing, the importance of variety, including different food groups like vegetables. We also go over why healthy people can break their own rules and eat out or eat things perceived as 'unhealthy' once in a while without losing themselves in indiscipline. Simple, practical, and to the point—this conversation will help you feel more confident about what’s on your plate. (Not medical advice.)

#2: Common Struggles

In this episode, Gina opens up about the unexpected ways Sid’s story challenged her own beliefs—and how those surprises shed light on the universal hurdles so many of us face. From confusing diets to frustrating doctor visits, we break down the common roadblocks that keep people stuck. If you are trapped or ever felt trapped in a maze of conflicting advice, you are not alone!

#1: Origins

Welcome to the very first episode of the Agartha Podcast! Before we dive into big ideas and transformative strategies, we want to start at the source—our own stories. By understanding where we came from, you’ll see why we refuse to accept outdated dogma and half-truths that leave people stuck. Our world is moving too fast for our biology to keep up: endless diets that promise results but rarely deliver, the “experts” who never bother to understand the individual, and the confusing birth control advice that’s handed out like candy. On this episode you’ll hear our founders' journeys. Discover how Gina Johnson, a science-focused kid who learned to fish long before she hit the lab, turned away from a strict vegan path that looked good on paper but failed her in practice. Find out how Siddharth Ramsundar, raised as a vegetarian Brahmin and taught to follow the rules, pushed past cultural and family expectations to try something new when relentless insomnia took over his life. Learn about when Gina and Sid decided to start Agartha after meeting at UCLA. Agartha is by real people who asked real questions and refused to be dismissed. By understanding our roots, you’ll understand why we’re devoted to honest information, practical solutions, and a human-centered approach to health that honors both nature’s wisdom and the best of modern science. This episode sets the stage for what Agartha stands for: nutrition that transforms, and a shared journey toward better ways of living.
