On August 29, 2021, the community’s and the nation’s foremost health guru – our very own Dr. Mickey Mehta will step into the Super-Sixties! Four decades normally seem very long, but for Dr. Mickey Mehta these have flown past like a breeze! This year, as he steps into his 60th year, he completes 40 years as the pioneer of the wellness industry on many counts… as India’s First Holistic Health Columnist; First Fitness TV-Radio Presenter; First To Bring Fitness To Reality Shows (Indian Idol junior, Nach Baliye, Channel V Get Gorgeous & Pop Stars, and many more); First Personal Trainer of India; First To Promote Equipment Free Training; First Coach for Miss India / Mr. India / Supermodel pageants. He also holds a world record in teaching swimming in 24 hours!
He also completes 51 years of practicing yoga – but when asked, ‘Are you a yogi?’, pat comes the answer, “No, am just an ordinary bhogi!” He feels fortunate for being appointed the Fit India Movement Champion and for cheering Indian Olympians in the original Indian Olympics gear!
So, what’s new, we wonder? “Every moment, newness depends on your creativity driven by your own enthusiasm and getting inspired from within.” He shares the cover of his new book with iconic chef Sanjeev Kapoor, titled, ‘Immunity Plus’, which provides health food recipes contributed by Kapoor, as well as a 4-week program of workouts, breathing, meditation, mind science, affirmations and prayers. “It is a fully loaded club sandwich of well-rounded immunity, all the way,” says Mickey!
But, like it’s always the case with Dr. Mickey, there’s more! He speaks about his research paper on ‘Immunity For Humanity’ by UGC (University Grants Commission) in which he was assisted by Dr. Havovi Rana, under the guidance of Dr. Ali Irani – HOD Physiotherapy, Nanavati Hospital; Dean NMIMS College Of Physiotherapy and his assistant – Dr. Mansi Mehta. This is Dr. Mickey Mehta’s second medical research paper – the first being ‘The Monumental Code – Vedic Wisdom’, published in Sci Vision Journal.
The community is proud to have two Parsis working in the business of immunity – Adar Poonawala and Dr. Mickey Mehta, who reminisces his first meeting with Adar at the Serum Institute of India in March, 2020, which is where the idea of working on immunity germinated. The Chairman and MD of ‘Dr. Mickey Mehta’s 360 Degree Wellness Temple Pvt. Ltd., he has been awarded the Health and Wellness Icon of India by Economic Times; as well as one of the World’s Top 100 Impactful Wellness Leaders at the World Wellness Congress.
“Work and communicate to the world and let maximum people get the benefit,” is his firm belief. Additionally, a campaign of wellness revolution for human evolution on Radio one, Fever and Nasha parallelly around ‘Stepping Into Sixty’ will be run, alongside Dr. Mickey’s campaign on Tata Sky – ‘Freedom From Fat’, launched on Independence Day. On his birthday, 29th August, Tata Sky will run a special tribute for the legendary global leading holistic health guru titled ‘Super Fit Sixty’, on completing 40 years of professional journey.
Dr. Mickey Mehta has also just launched a brand-new, 360 degree Holistic Health Healing Center in South Mumbai (Mahalaxmi Chambers, Bhulabhai Desai Road). And what about community service? “I serve the Maharashtra police, the BMC, the immigration, the customs, army, navy, air force – time to time and have now started serving senior citizens from our community every Friday 6:00 pm, at Captain Colony.”
So, is that it? And, he says, “I have only just begun! I plan to live forever and contribute forever. I share my passion of social impact with my brother-like community trailblazer – Jimmy Mistry and we both are driven by purpose.” Then, comes the line from the wordsmith’s mouth, “Don’t chase your dreams… pursue your purpose and the universe will fulfil your dreams!”
The project closest to his heart is the ‘Delphic Games’ of Greece – akin to the Olympics of art and culture, launched at the Governors house on 21st August, by Jt. Commissioner Gst Sahil Seth, veteran actors -Hema Malini and Paresh Rawal, music directors – Salim Suleiman, choreographers Bosco-Ceasar, MD BMG Crescendo and above all, the grandmaster of physiotherapy – Dr. Ali Irani, just to name a few. As the Chair of Holistic Health for Delphic games, Dr. Mickey seems to shoulder the responsibility of starting, in his words – a ‘Swast Bharat, Mast Bharat’ Movement!
On a parting note, he shares in his inimitable style and words:
My Vision: LET WELLNESS BE THE RELIGION NUMBER ONE.
My Mission: START A WELLNESS REVOLUTION FOR HUMAN EVOLUTION.
My Objective: LET’S HAVE A DISEASE FREE WORLD.
My Motto: SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WITH A WISH TO HEAL YOURSELF…. AND WAKE UP EVERY MORNING WITH A PROMISE TO HEAL THE WORLD.”
In keeping with his mantra, ‘Get Naturalized, Get Maximized… Get Mickeymized!’, we watch on – mesmerized and Mickeymized!
