“I have seen Deepak speak at a range of events and to a variety of audiences, and whether it’s workshops with healthcare professionals or lectures to the general public, he is always incredibly engaging and his passion for lifestyle medicine and pain management absolutely shines through. His keynote sparked a lot of enthusiastic discussion amongst delegates in the coffee break. I personally felt he spoke really clearly and intelligibly on some of the topics that might be perceived as more complex and abstract, yet he made the understanding of those topics very accessible. As an organising committee, we’ve already received lots of positive feedback on his presentation. Thank you, Deepak!”
