How One Doctor Is Taking On The Healthcare Industry - Exclusive Interview With Dr. Pran Yoganathan How One Doctor Is Taking On The Healthcare Industry - Exclusive Interview With Dr. Pran Yoganathan Dr. Pran Yoganathan is a medical doctor with over 20 years of experience. He is a Gastroenterologist. Two decades spent as a doctor, standing in the eye of a “storm of disease”. He has observed that modern medicine is seeing this tsunami of illness with the narrow lenses of a “moment in time”, a mere snapshot. He has come to conclude that this view leads to a “reactive approach” to healthcare. Fundamental solutions to disease are overlooked in the pursuit of polished new instruments to remedy disease. The proverbial shiny new scalpel to cut at the wound, with no awareness of the talons, fangs and claws that inflicted the gash in the first place. Dr. Yoganathan believes many healers are awakening, in the traditions of medicine men from a long-lost and forgotten era, they dare to challenge the paradigms.

Petty Pandean-Elliott is an award-winning food writer, author, chef, culinary consultant, and one of the leading international advocates for Indonesian food culture. Through her writing, public speaking, culinary consultancy, and educational work, she has dedicated much of her career to promoting Indonesia’s rich culinary heritage, diverse food traditions, and remarkable biodiversity to audiences around the world. Born in Manado, North Sulawesi, and raised in Jakarta, Petty developed a deep appreciation for Indonesia’s extraordinary culinary diversity from an early age. Growing up in a country spanning thousands of islands and hundreds of ethnic groups, she was exposed to a wide range of regional cuisines, ingredients, traditions, and food stories that would later become central to her work. Her culinary perspective is shaped not only by Indonesia’s vibrant food culture but also by its history as a crossroads of trade, migration, and cultural exchange. Interestingly, Petty began her culinary career at the age of 35 after spending many years working in an international advertising agency in Jakarta. Petty is the author of The Indonesian Table and The Indonesian Vegetarian Table, both published by Phaidon. These acclaimed books have introduced readers worldwide to the depth and sophistication of Indonesian cuisine, highlighting both traditional recipes and contemporary interpretations while celebrating the people, ingredients, and communities behind them. Her work has been praised for bringing greater international recognition to one of the world's most diverse culinary cultures. Before relocating to the United Kingdom, Petty contributed to several publications in Indonesia, including the Jakarta Globe, NOW! Jakarta, and Colours, the inflight magazine of Garuda Indonesia. She began working in professional kitchens in 2012, further expanding her culinary expertise beyond writing and research. Her recent consultancy projects include working with The Ritz-Carlton Bali, where she contributes her knowledge of Indonesian culinary traditions and contemporary food culture. Petty relocated to the United Kingdom in 2018 and continues to champion Indonesian cuisine on the global stage. She regularly participates in international food festivals, culinary conferences, hospitality summits, cultural events, and educational programmes as a guest chef, speaker, moderator, and consultant. Her collaborations span chefs, restaurants, luxury hotels, tourism organisations, educational institutions, publishers, and cultural bodies seeking to deepen their understanding of Indonesian food and its global significance. Beyond recipes, Petty's work explores the broader connections between food, culture, history, sustainability, and identity. She is particularly passionate about preserving culinary traditions, supporting local food communities, promoting Indonesia’s native ingredients, and sharing stories that connect people through food. Through her writing, teaching, consultancy, and advocacy, Petty Elliott continues to build bridges between cultures, inspiring audiences worldwide to discover the richness, complexity, and beauty of Indonesian cuisine.

Sarah Maynard is a BGN-certified lifestyle coach, the founder of Body & Mind in Harmony, and a mother of two who has built her life's work around a single, hard-won belief: before a woman can change her habits, her health, or her life, she first needs to feel safe enough in her own body to do so. Her message to every mother she works with is simple and unwavering — you matter too. Sarah's relationship with identity and belonging started early. Adopted as a child, she grew up navigating questions that many people never have to ask themselves — questions about where she came from, who she was, and where she truly belonged. Rather than becoming a source of instability, that early experience became the foundation of a lifelong sensitivity to what it means to feel unmoored, and what it takes to find your way back to yourself. It is a thread that runs quietly through everything she does today, from the way she coaches to the way she talks about identity loss in motherhood. That early sensitivity to belonging didn't stay abstract for long. Sarah spent eight years working as a youth care facilitator, sitting with young people in some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives — moments of disconnection, overwhelm, and searching for stability. It was in this work that she first began to see, up close, how nervous systems in survival mode make it nearly impossible to think clearly, make good decisions, or sustain change of any kind. That observation would later become the cornerstone of her entire coaching philosophy.   Out of her own experience and her years of professional practice, Sarah built the contrarian idea at the heart of her brand: nervous system regulation has to come before any other wellness goal — diet, fitness, or habit change — can actually succeed. Most wellness advice tells tired mothers to eat better, move more, sleep earlier, and build better habits. Sarah's work starts one layer beneath all of that. If a mother's body is stuck in survival mode, no meal plan or workout routine will hold. Regulation isn't a nice-to-have on top of the wellness journey — it's the floor everything else is built on. This is the philosophy behind Body & Mind in Harmony, the coaching brand Sarah founded and now runs from Amsterdam, and behind the mission she licensed her practice around earlier this year. Her work is aimed specifically at tired and overwhelmed mothers aged 25 to 45 — women who are stretched thin between careers, children, partners, and the quiet expectation to hold it all together without complaint. Sarah's message cuts directly against that expectation: you matter too.   As a BGN-certified lifestyle coach, Sarah works with mothers through several complementary formats, each designed to meet women exactly where they are. 1-on-1 Coaching offers a personalized space for mothers to work through identity loss, stress, and mental load with direct, individualized support grounded in Sarah's regulation-first approach. Healthy Mothers, Strong Foundation is her signature group program, built to guide mothers through the same journey collectively — helping them regulate their nervous systems, rebuild their sense of self, and create sustainable change from a place of calm rather than pressure. Alongside the program, Sarah has been developing a companion workbook, that speaks to readers personally, addressing them as — you. Its early sections tackle two of the most tender subjects mothers face: the tension between identity as a mother and identity as a woman, and the invisible weight of stress and mental load. Community Events round out her offering, creating in-person spaces where mothers can be seen, supported, and reminded they are not alone. This is where much of Sarah's most meaningful work happens outside the coaching room.   Sarah is an active voice on Instagram (@bodyandmindinharmony), where she shares content rooted in the same honesty that defines her coaching: real stories about identity loss, motherhood, stress, and the slow work of finding yourself again. Her content blends personal narrative with practical tools, always circling back to her core belief that regulation comes first. She posts bilingually, in Dutch and English, to reach mothers across her community, and closes much of her content with her signature sign-off: "You matter too."   At the center of everything Sarah does — the coaching, the workbook, the walks, the circles, the content — is one consistent thread: mothers are so often taught to put themselves last, to regulate everyone else's needs before their own, to keep going no matter how depleted they feel. Sarah's work exists to interrupt that pattern. Not by adding one more thing to a mother's to-do list, but by giving her permission — and the tools — to come back to herself first. Her mission, in her own words, is simple: You matter too.
