About Dr. Prasoon
I am Dr. Prasoon, an MBBS doctor from Calicut Medical College, Kerala. I have been writing about health, medicine, and the life of a doctor since 2013 — which makes Being The Doctor one of the earliest physician-authored health blogs from India.
Over the years, my focus has grown beyond clinical medicine. I am the founder of Dofody, an online health supplements platform that combines evidence-based nutrition with accessible doctor guidance. I also work as a health coach and mentor at doctorprasoon.com, where I help individuals and fellow doctors with lifestyle, productivity, and personal growth.
What Being The Doctor Is About
This blog exists for one reason: to give doctors and medical students in India a trusted space for practical knowledge, professional growth, and honest health information.
Medicine is demanding. The gap between what we learn in medical college and what we need to thrive in practice — as clinicians, as professionals, and as human beings — is wide. Being The Doctor is my attempt to bridge that gap.
Here you will find content across four areas:
- Health Tips — Evidence-based guidance on common conditions, nutrition, and wellness, written for both doctors and patients.
- Product Reviews — Honest evaluations of medical equipment, supplements, and tools relevant to doctors practicing in India.
- Professional Development — Practical advice on building a modern medical practice, telemedicine, productivity, and work-life balance.
- Prescriptions — Personal stories and reflections from my life and work as a doctor — the real, unfiltered side of practicing medicine in India.
If you are a doctor, a medical student, or simply someone who wants reliable health information from a real physician — you are in the right place.
