About this Guest -

Dr Mangattil Rajesh is a leading consultant orthopaedic and spine surgeon based in London, with over two decades of surgical experience and international training at some of the world’s top spine institutes. He currently serves as Clinical Lead for Complex Spine Surgery at The Royal London Hospital.

Specialising in minimally invasive techniques, Dr Rajesh is known for his patient-first approach, prioritising conservative care such as physiotherapy, injections, and advanced rehabilitation before ever considering surgery. His results speak for themselves, with over 80 percent of patients recovering without the need for an operation.

About this Episode -

In this episode I’m joined by my good friend and fellow orthopaedic surgeon Managttil. We’ve known each other for years and this was a raw honest chat about mindset healing and what it really takes to grow through pain.

We talked about how your body can transform when you start believing in yourself and the role positive thinking plays in recovery. I coached Managttil through his consultant exams so we reflected on that journey too and how structure clarity and mindset can break the cycle of self sabotage.

We dug into stress burnout and the toll that modern healthcare takes on doctors. I didn’t hold back about the NHS either and shared my frustrations with the bureaucracy and inefficiencies that put profit before people.

We also explored trauma self love and the unseen baggage many of us carry without even realising it. From changing expectations in medical training to the rising importance of emotional intelligence in patient care this conversation touched every corner of what it means to heal and to help others heal.

And if there’s one thing we agreed on it’s this, the body is incredible the mind even more so and when you learn to live fully in the now everything changes.

I hope you enjoy this episode.

Lots of love

Doc Malik

What I Offer

In a world of rushed 7-minute consultations and endless referrals, I offer you something rare: time, context, and clear guidance.

As your health advocate, I can help you:

Understand your diagnosis and decode medical jargon

Decide who to see: GP, specialist, osteopath, physio, accupuntcurist, homeopath etc?

Break down treatment plans in plain, easy to understand non jargon English

Prepare for surgery, understand your risks, obtain true informed consent, and optimise yourself pre-op

Recover from surgery, advise you how to heal faster and quicker and minimise post-op complications

Manage chronic illness with lifestyle, mindset, and dietary changes

Explore holistic options that complement conventional care

Implement lifestyle changes like fasting, stress reduction, or movement

Ask better questions, and get real answers

Get an unbiased second opinion


Why This Matters

Informed patients make better decisions. But today, so many are left confused, rushed, and disempowered. They leave consultations with more questions than answers, unsure who to trust or where to turn next.

I’m here to change that.

I’m not offering diagnosis or treatment, I’m offering clarity, confidence, and conversation. I’ll walk beside you, explain what’s going on in your body, help you explore your options, and support you in taking back control of your health.


⚠️ A Quick Note

I’m no longer registered with the GMC. This means I don’t diagnose or treat medical conditions. My work is purely educational and advisory, designed to help you get the most out of the formal healthcare system — not replace it.


Ready to Take Control?

If you're navigating a health concern, preparing for a big decision, or simply want to feel more confident in your path forward, I’d love to support you.

Why Reviews and Follows Matter

You’ve helped this podcast grow fast, and I can’t thank you enough! Every episode, we tackle the conversations others avoid, exposing truth, challenging narratives, and standing up for what matters.

But here’s the thing: following the podcast and leaving a 5-star review makes a massive difference. It helps:

Boost Visibility – Podcasts with more follows and high ratings rank higher on platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, making them easier for new listeners to discover.

Support Independent Creators – This podcast is a passion project, not backed by corporations. Your support helps keep it growing.

Attract More Guests & Opportunities – High engagement makes it easier to bring on bigger, more influential guests.

Strengthen the Community – More listeners mean more discussions, shared learning, and a stronger movement.

Encourage More Content – Your support fuels motivation to keep producing high-quality episodes and bonus content.

Leaving a 5-star review takes just 30 seconds, and following ensures you never miss an episode. Can I count on you to do both now?

Your support truly matters. Thank you for being part of this journey!
