Drawing from her own experiences of rediscovering health, purpose, and balance, she shows how small, consistent choices in food, movement, and self-care can lead to profound shifts in mental and physical well-being.Blending science with simplicity, she reminds us that food is not just fuel, but information for the body and mind. With warmth and clarity, she urges us to keep our habits simple, our goals sustainable, and our growth intentional, because true transformation begins not with grand resolutions, but with everyday awareness.

- 10:51Bringing Back Music Lost for 2,500 Years | Tharun Sekar | TEDxElliots BeachWhat does music from 2,500 years ago sound like? Until recently, no one knew.Tarun Sekar, shares how a simple question "Why do we only see Western instruments , where are our own ancient Indian instruments ?"led him on an obsessive journey to resurrect the Yazh, an ancient Tamil harp lost to history for over two millennia. With no working instrument to study, no recordings to guide him, and only fragments of poetry from Sangam literature, Tarun spent a year piecing together clues from ancient texts. His curiosity refused to let him quit & he succeeded in bringing back a sound unlike any Guitar or Veena, a voice from India's forgotten musical past coming alive again. Tarun proves that small curiosities can unbury centuries of silence. His work challenges us to ask: What melodies & wisdom from our own heritage are we ignoring? Can Entrepreneurship be our way to explore our world & build what matters?
