Actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu, known for her unabashed openness regarding her health, has consistently strived to foster a healthy lifestyle both inside and out. Through her podcast, `Take 20`, she aims to help people by sharing her experiences, enabling them to relate, understand, and seek help when needed.
In a recent episode of ‘Take 20’, actress Samantha delved into the human body`s Fight or Flight response in certain situations. These survival mechanisms are often misunderstood or overlooked by those experiencing them. During a conversation with wellness coach and nutritionist Alkesh Sharotri, Samantha admitted to previously believing that exhaustion was a sign of weakness, a misconception rooted in the fight or flight mode. She confessed, "I used to believe that exhaustion and the need for rest were signs of weakness. I was proud of being a hustler, thriving on only six hours of sleep and being exceptionally productive throughout the day. Despite feeling exhausted, I refused to acknowledge it, working tirelessly without a break for 13 years. Growing up, I didn`t have a luxurious childhood, so success was my focus from an early age. I always felt an intense pressure to `Make It` in life. Constantly fed with the notion that I wasn`t good enough, so that became an intense motivation for me to succeed at any cost."
