Prashant Desai — CEO
200 Indians die from heart attacks and stroke every hour, and I could be one of them because of my high risk for heart disease. And yet, I am not upset but super excited. Hi, I'm Prashant Desai, and here's how everything started: First time: I was 7. My father was 37. Heart attack. Second time: I was 41. My brother was 35. Heart attack. His daughter was 2. Between those two moments, I lived with nightmares. Waking up at 3 AM. Convinced I'd be next. Terrified my daughters would grow up without their father, like I did. That's when I made a decision: I will do everything to delay the inevitable and live longer, healthier. I will outlive. I will outperform. I had my why. But not the how. And the quest began 11 years ago. They say questions are answers. I started asking different questions - not "What's wrong?" but "Why did it go wrong?" I studied the pathophysiology of the top 5 killer diseases I learned from the best: Stanford School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Layne Norton, Dr. Andy Galpin Biggest learning: You are the CEO of your own health. And your foundation matters most. Now at 53, I have built the cardiovascular capacity of someone 10 years younger. I've completed 40+ half marathons. I wear a Whoop to track my sleep and a continuous glucose monitor to improve my fasting blood glucose. My blood work is my Dronacharya, it never lies. I test it every 6 months. Because I refuse to let my daughters experience what I did. My framework: G - Gut health E - Exercise N - Nutrition science E - Emotional health S - Sleep These five pillars delay the five asuras that kill most Indians: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, metabolic diseases, and organ dysfunction. I only preach what I practice. All science-backed. No BS. Welcome to my page. Follow for evidence-based posts every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
