Dear friends, respected leaders, and my wellness seekers, I stand before you today not just as a doctor, but as a guide who has seen the struggles of thousands of professionals like you—CEOs, IT leaders, bankers, entrepreneurs, and top executives—who carry the burden of not only industries but also an invisible health crisis.
