Biography

Most corporate wellbeing programmes treat stress and weight as soft topics. The clinical reality is different. Both are measurable drivers of attention, decision quality, absence and attrition, and both respond to specific interventions rather than general encouragement. That is the territory Yuvaraj S Lingappa works in.

He trained as a physician at Madras Medical College and practised for more than three decades, including a long tenure as a paediatrician and family practitioner at Victoria Hospital in St Lucia. The clinical grounding shapes the way he talks to corporate audiences: he treats stress as a physiological condition and obesity as a medical one, not as a motivational problem to be willed away.

The obesity work carries a formal credential. He is SCOPE Certified by the World Obesity Federation in London, the international body’s professional standard for obesity care. Alongside the speaking and coaching practice, he co-founded SlimIsEasy, a consumer weight-management app, which gives him a live view of what behaviour change looks like outside the seminar room.

His book Easy Guide to Stress Relief is written for corporate readers who will not finish a longer text. The same instinct runs through the speaking work: short, clinically grounded sessions that give an executive audience something to act on before the end of the week.
