Health For You: Why everyone should have a family physician

In this episode of Health For You, Dr Bindu Suresh, General Physician at Apollo Clinics, joins us to speak on why every family needs a trusted primary care doctor.

Dr Bindu Suresh shares how the unique bond a family physician builds — knowing not just one member but the entire family — plays a crucial role in early detection and preventive care.

She stresses the importance of trusting your family doctor when any symptoms arise, and explains why you shouldn’t rely solely on Google or jump to conclusions without consulting a professional.

We dive into how lifestyle patterns across generations can be understood better when one doctor sees the whole family — helping in early identification of risks like hypertension, which she notes is alarmingly common in young adults today.

Dr Bindu Suresh also talks about age-appropriate health checkups — from kids to seniors — and explains why Apollo ProHealth, powered by AI and preventive health guidelines, offers a smart solution for early risk detection.

And if you’ve ever wondered whether you really need daily multivitamin supplements, you’ll want to hear her straightforward advice on when they are actually necessary — and when a good diet is all you need.

All this and much more in an episode packed with practical tips on keeping your entire family healthier, for longer!
