In this episode, I sat down with my good friend and one of Tamil YouTube’s most impactful voices, Madan Gowri. This isn’t just a typical creator interview. It’s a raw, real conversation about the human behind the millions of views.
We spoke about everything from depression and screen addiction to fitness myths, diet truths, and burnout. Madan gets personal about his sleep struggles, how he navigates life under constant public scrutiny, and why he believes 90% of fitness is about what you eat, not the gym.
He also opened up about his time in Buffalo, how he wanted to do nothing after finishing his undergrad, and his surprising dream of becoming a househusband at that time. These are the sides of him we rarely get to see - honest, introspective, and deeply relatable.
As a doctor who works with gut health and lifestyle transformation, I believe conversations like this are essential. They remind us that even the most successful creators go through the same doubts, health challenges, and emotional ups and downs that we all face.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, lazy, tired, or pressured to be perfect, this one’s for you.
Tune in, reflect, and let’s break the myths around fitness, mental health, and modern living.

Ever thought about how much our lifestyle has changed?
I was having this deep conversation recently, and one thing stuck with me – we’ve forgotten to prioritize ourselves.
We overeat, skip sleep, and stay glued to screens while dreaming of a 'healthy life.' Sounds ironic, right?
Here’s the thing – health doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.
Sleep 7-8 hours like it’s your job.
Take a walk. Just 30 minutes a day.
And hey, protein first, carbs later. Your body will thank you.
Above all, start loving yourself more. Because the ONLY person who can truly take care of you… is YOU. 💡
