What Our Clients Say
Jackie
True Path to Wellness
"As I hit my mid-40’s my health took a turn with unexplained weight gain, fatigue and brain fog. I was frustrated with my doctors explaining it away on hormones with no treatment suggestions other than more medications.
I felt rushed, unheard and left wondering why I even bothered. Then I started to see Dr. Deepa and attended her Redesign Your Life for Success Summit. There I learned about the 6 pillars in lifestyle transformation and how to employ a mind, body, spirit approach to rebalance my health.
With the coaching of Dr. Deepa, I have started to implement changes in my life that have made a real difference in my health. I now prioritize listening to the Bible and spending time in prayer and this has strengthened my spiritual wellbeing. Her suggestions improved my current diet and exercise routines and I have lost 12 pounds in 10 weeks. These lifestyle changes have me on the right path to reach my health and wellness goals after struggling for so long.
If you are over 40 and find it challenging to make healthy lifestyle choices I highly recommend Dr. Deepa’s coaching program. She will help personalize your journey to get you to where you desire to be. Dr. Deepa in not only a brilliant doctor but really cares about her clients – it comes through in her gentle and thoughtful approach. I appreciate the quality care I have received and I’m thankful to finally be on a true path to wellness.
Thank you, Dr. Deepa!"

No More Medications!
"Over the years, I did not pay much attention to my health. I used to eat whatever I wanted and never used to exercise. I gained a lot of weight and struggled with chronic fatigue and hypertension. I was introduced to Dr. Deepa's lifestyle coaching over a year ago. However, I only started applying her advice to my life around two months ago.
With her guidance, I made dietary changes and added scheduled time to exercise. With these simple changes, I lost 8 kilos in 2 months. Since I made these changes, besides losing weight, mentally, I feel more energetic, and my blood pressure is also getting easier to control. I plan to eventually reduce and stop medications once I lose more weight and continue to stay active. Dr. Deepa has helped change my life in a significant manner.
Her personal human touch in her efforts to address her patients' problems will cure 50% of their ailments. Her major strength is her possession of an empathetic heart that palpitates for others. She exercises Godly love and compassion for everyone who happens to be in her life. I plan to continue in this path of health and wellness that Dr. Deepa helped me find. I like to encourage individuals who struggle with their health but need assistance knowing where to start to consider joining Dr. Deepa's coaching program. I know she can change your life as she changed mine."

Quick Results!
“Before joining TLC, I was struggling with making healthy lifestyle choices. I knew I needed to improve my health and manage my stress, but I had no idea where and how to start doing this.
After my first session with Dr. Deepa, she helped me recognize areas in my day-to-day living that I could improve. The tools and guidance she provided not only helped my physical wellbeing. She also helped me grow more in my spiritual walk with God and explore ways to strengthen my mind and emotions by engaging in fun, meaningful activities and connecting with others to create a community for myself.
In just one month, I was able to reduce my weight and reduce my sugar levels in a considerable manner.”

A Catalyst for Positive Change
"I recently had the privilege of attending a Lifestyle Conference, organized by Dr. Deepa Grandon. “My Time to Transform”. The conference was a holistic awareness session which occurred over 3 weeks in 3 sessions, where Dr. Deepa talked about lifestyle and its effects on disease prevention and occurrence and also taught us to understand how we can implement healthy habits into our everyday life. I am excited to share the profound impact it has had on my life, this transformative experience has not only given me the boost and encouragement to continue my healthy lifestyle journey but has given me more knowledge on health and well-being and has ignited a personal revolution towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Prioritizing nutritious food choices has not only become a daily ritual now but a cornerstone of my lifestyle. The shift towards a balanced, wholesome diet has revitalized my energy levels, providing me with the vitality needed to tackle each day with enthusiasm. I've bid farewell to the sluggishness that once weighed me down and embraced a newfound sense of vitality.
In essence, the Healthy Lifestyle Conference was not just an event; it was a catalyst for positive change in every aspect of my life. I am deeply grateful to Dr Deepa for contributing to my transformative journey. This conference has equipped me with more knowledge and inspiration needed to navigate the path to a healthier, more vibrant future. I wholeheartedly recommend this life-changing experience to anyone seeking a holistic approach to well-being."

I Recommend This Course
"The Time to Transform course is a holistic approach to health and wellness. The course covers diverse aspects ranging from Spirituality, Mental Health, Diet, Exercise, Sleep, Social Connections and Psychology. Whilst covering a broad range of topics the course is backed up by scientific data, medical expertise, and gives accessible insights and practical advice that can be easily applied.
I was already interested in the subject and consider myself to be reasonably well-informed having read a few health and fitness books and following various podcasts. I was surprised at how much great content was packed into the course giving fresh insights and deeper knowledge across multiple aspects of health and wellness. I felt that all the most important areas of Health and Wellness were covered including some that I had not considered. This is quite rare as most experts tend to focus on 1 or 2 areas. It is hard to give a good overview of such a diverse range of topics in a concise way that is meaningful and easy for the average person to follow but somehow Dr. Deepa manages it.
If this material was available as a book I would definitely buy it. I recommend the course for anyone who wants to better understand health and wellness. Either to improve your health, overcome challenges, or for those who are already blessed with good health and want to maintain and further enhance this."

An Excellent Course
"The Time to Transform course presented by Dr. Deepa, an expert in her field, was very insightful. Dr. Deepa unpacked and quickly unlocked a wide range of information, leaving you feeling well-informed and ready to transform. With the information provided, we understood the impact of our everyday decisions on our health and that we have a say in our well-being. We are not simply doomed by genetics, but we can make a difference in our health by focusing on the different pillars discussed and making small changes at first.
Sadly, today, when visiting medical professionals, the root cause of our health problems, whether it is mental, physical, or emotional, is often not addressed, and medicine to alleviate the symptoms is prescribed, which in turn has other health consequences. I love that Dr. Deepa has recognized this and is working to educate and coach people to understand the difference they can make in their health. It is an excellent course that I recommend anyone attend. Dr. Deepa is gentle, considerate, kind, and highly educated in her field; she is approachable, and regular folks are not intimidated by her knowledge but feel she is easily approachable and easy to relate to."

"Being a part of Merryland International School as a Psychology Specialist since 2018, and having over 14 years of experience in the field of Mental health and Well-being, I closely connect to the student and parent community and am well aware of the conflicts they face at every stage of growing up. The session conducted by Dr. Deepa Grandon on ‘Harmful Effects of Social Media on Children’s Brain’ was truly the need of the hour. Dr. Deepa’s in-depth understanding of wellness, backed by years of experience, was evident throughout the session. The way she integrated scientific principles with real-world applications helped to validate the points she was making and establish the focus on the topic.
Her conversation style, tone, pacing, and enthusiasm contributed to the overall atmosphere. Her professional yet approachable manner made it easy to trust and connect with her. The scientific research behind social media's effects on children’s brain development, with visual
representation of diminishing grey matter was alarming. The statistics pointing out the global impact of screen time and the digital world was an eye opener for many of us. It got me thinking about the future of this next generation -Alpha; who is already being extensively
influenced by social media, digital relationships and dependency that is created resulting in self harm, anxiety, identity crisis, addiction, compulsive behavior, exposure to inappropriate content, family conflicts, impulsive -aggressive or submissive behaviors and poor socio-emotional regulation which is so prevalent today among young minds.
Social media and its dependency is costing our children their childhood and innocence replaced by poor mental health and low self confidence. The session offered a balanced view, discussing both the potential harms and the benefits of social media in children's lives. I am grateful for having the opportunity to be a part of this session wherein it not only pointed out the problems and its causes but also a platform to discuss realistic and applicable solutions fostering parental engagement which allowed parents to express their concerns and experiences. I believe, we all left determined to do our bit for a safe future for the next generations to come."

"I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Dr. Deepa Grandon for her enlightening presentation on "The Harmful Effects of Excessive Social Media Use on Brain Development in Children." This discussion profoundly enhanced my understanding of the challenges faced by children and the younger generation in the digital age.
The session provided a comprehensive analysis of both the benefits and detriments associated with social media use. This was one of the most important lessons of a lifetime, addressing timely issues related to social media use. As a parent, Dr. Deepa’s insights made me reflect deeply on my own responsibilities. Her presentation highlighted the importance of leading by example and being mindful of our own digital habits.
I am truly grateful for Dr. Deepa's valuable advice, which has encouraged me to adopt healthier digital practices and help guide the younger generation in doing the same. Thank you, Dr. Deepa, for your commitment to this crucial issue. May your work continue to inspire and protect our children from the long-term effects of social media addiction.
Thank you, Dr. Deepa Grandon. God bless you and your family!"

A Playbook for Every Parent
“The MIS COP event held on January 12th had a very special topic that has deep influence and impact on the students and parents alike. I was the beneficiary to an excellent and empirically evidenced lecture around the impact of social media on young minds delivered by Dr Deepa Grandon a triple certified physician with over 20 years of medical practice in fields of Internal Medicine, Allergy Immunology and Lifestyle Medicine.
This attempt in sharing is a result of my cognitive and recollection abilities that have dwindled over time and one of the culprits may be social media... (going by the Brain Box theory.) Parenting unlike many jobs does not have a standard operating guidelines that build you up for success… (If the measure is the achievement of your children). Hence the efforts put in my most parents is rather a result of conditioning from your pervious generations and the caveman instincts emanating from the cortex of our brains.
To add to the conundrum, the Gen X and Millennial parents are now victims of technology which they themselves are familiarizing with hence creating a rule book for the younger kids is not an easy task. Through their own actions of exploring this newer technologies and media parents result in being fodder to young minds who ‘Mirror’ and ape their actions validating it to being the right one.
Dr Deepa shared some eye-opening statistics around the growing incidence of a decline in the mental wellbeing among for younger adults who are victims to incidents online around cyber bullying, body shaming, isolation leading to anxiety disorders, depression and low self-esteem. Red Riding Hood had her grandma tales and wisdom to know well who the BIG BAD WOLF was. In today’s world Dr Deepa’s guide would help us incubate this wisdom both in parents and our children’s minds. Parents cannot live in a denial phase of technology that is here, rather embrace, adopt and adapt in a manner that is least disruptive to the mental wellbeing and growth of their children.
Tips shared included
- Being transparent with our children
- Setting boundaries (no device zones)
- Encouraging friendships and proliferating real relationships over virtual ones that are masked behind codes and algorithms.
- Promote a health and balanced lifestyle that has space for outdoor activities.
- Finally, set an example for the sapling we water through our actions and words.
I once again thank Merryland International for being a trailblazer in this area and disrupt the community in adopting a Mindset that looks not only at the glamour of social media that is skin deep but the lurking danger behind if not arrested would leave its venom in young minds that are destined to do beautiful and creative things.”
