The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan

What if healing wasn't something you booked, but something you built?
In this inspiring episode of The Brave Table, Dr. Neeta Bhushan sits down with Kristy Morris, the visionary CEO and founder of The KAILO Group, and her husband Dr. Oz Dedehayir, KAILO's Director of Innovation & Export, to explore the powerful story behind building Australia’s #1 Wellness Brand of 2024.
Kristy and Dr Oz didn’t set out to create a global wellness movement. Their journey began with a deeply personal mission: finding better natural and integrative treatments for their son. That search led them to uproot their family, explore new approaches to health, and discover a gap in Australia’s wellness landscape that Kristy knew needed to be filled.
That vision became KAILO, home to KAILO Medispa, KAILO Nutrition, KAILO Events, and the KAILO Summit.
Together, Kristy and Dr Oz share what it takes to build a purpose-driven business as husband and wife, navigate co-founding a company while raising three children, and stay connected through the challenges of entrepreneurship.
In this episode, they discuss Kristy’s personal autoimmune journey, the courage to turn a family challenge into a global mission, the importance of science-backed wellness, and what the wellness industry still gets wrong about true healing.

How Kristy and Dr Oz balance being co-founders, co-parents, and life partners

She packed up her entire life, her marriage, her three kids, and her business, and moved to Dubai. Everyone said: how brave. How exciting. But nobody talks about what happens after the brave part.
In this deeply personal solo episode of The Brave Table, Dr. Neeta Bhushan shares the real story behind her family’s move to Dubai, 18 months after leaving behind the life she knew.
This isn’t the highlight reel or the perfect expat story. It’s an honest reflection on identity, marriage, motherhood, and the personal transformation that happens when you step away from everything familiar.
Dr. Neeta opens up about the unexpected grief of leaving, the challenges of rebuilding a sense of self, the impact of the move on her eldest daughter, and how reconnecting with South Asian roots and a slower pace of life changed the way she sees identity, worth, and belonging.
She also shares the truth about what this journey has done to her marriage, the beautiful and difficult moments, and what she would tell herself before stepping onto that plane.

The unexpected grief of leaving and why it surprised someone who wanted the change
What the eldest daughter wound looks like when you are far away from the people who shaped it

Almost a year ago, I hard-launched Chai Tonics a functional wellness chai brand — from Dubai.
While raising two kids in a new brand NEW country.
While building this podcast. While going through the most significant identity shift of my adult life.
This isn't the pitch. This is the real story: what it actually looks like to build a purpose-led brand from overseas — the origin, the hardest moments, the logistics nobody talks about, the near-misses, and why building from imperfect circumstances isn't the obstacle.
It's the point. If you've ever wondered whether you need the "right" conditions to start: the right timezone, the right team, the right season of life this episode is my honest answer: no, you don't.
And here's what it cost, and gave me, to find that out.✨
What You'll Get From This Episode:
The real origin of Chai Tonics — not the pitch, but the personal truth of why this brand had to exist, and why it couldn't wait for a more convenient season of my life
What it's actually like to build a US-based wellness brand from Dubai the timezones, the supply chain chaos, the near-misses nobody sees on the other side of a polished launch
The moment I almost stopped and the real reason I didn't, in case you're standing in that exact moment right now
How distance from American wellness culture changed what I was building — and why that distance became an advantage, not a liability

Who I'm actually building this for the woman on the other side of this brand, what she's going through, and what I want her to feel the first time she makes her own cup
A permission slip, if you need one for building your thing now, from wherever you actually are, instead of waiting for a version of your life that looks more "ready"
