Dr Palaniappan Manickam — Co-Founder

Hello! I’m Dr. Pal Manickam, a gastroenterologist, health educator, and a bit of a comedian too! I chose to become a doctor, but life had other plans for me. It made me a messenger for health and wellness. That’s why you see me here today! To be honest, I wasn't always a keen believer in healthy eating. During my gastroenterology fellowship, a health scare made me realize I’d been neglecting my own health. This pivotal moment was a wake-up call, pushing me to reevaluate my lifestyle and embark on a transformative fitness journey. I started reading books, listening to podcasts, and watching videos about time-restricted feeding. I followed this method for 66 days, lost 50 pounds, and felt amazing. This journey made me want to help others do the same. Then, COVID-19 happened. One of my videos went viral on social media, and suddenly, many people were watching me and learning from me. This changed my life and work, and I could help even more people. The emotional connection I’ve established with my audience is my greatest blessing. Everywhere I go, I encounter stories of transformation and hope, fueling my drive to do even better. This journey led me to create and support several impactful initiatives: - NewMe Health Coaching: A program that uses time-restricted eating and expert coaching to help over 500 people lose weight and improve overall well-being. - MedCom: A stand-up comedy show that combines humor with health education, making wellness both entertaining and insightful. - Vanna Malargal Foundation: A US-based non-profit providing medical services and humanitarian aid to underserved communities, enhancing the lives of children and families. - Aishwaryam Trust: Dedicated to caring for destitute individuals, special children, and the terminally ill with medical care, rehabilitation, and compassionate support. - YouTube Channel: Engaging over a million viewers with valuable health content and contributing significantly to my creator journey. My vision is to live a balanced life and help others do the same. I want to make people laugh, help the vulnerable, and teach others about health and wellness. I feel lucky to have these opportunities, and I would love for you to join me. Together, we can live not just long lives, but the best lives. Welcome to the family. Let’s educate. Let’s empower. Let’s connect. Get in touch to collaborate: drpalmanickam.com/contact
