Juggy Sidhu, The Indian Body Coach, On Surviving Suicide
He drove head on into a bridge to end it all. He walked out of the car and started again.
Juggy Sidhu grew up in a household where standards mattered, tidiness, achievement, presentation, and he carried that discipline into the man he'd later become. Known as the Indian Body Coach, Juggy built a coaching business that now runs on three pillars, physical, physiological, and psychological, supporting clients with access to a psychologist, nutrition support, and functional medicine review as part of one programme.
His path there was not straight. After losing his grandfather, Juggy fell into heavy drinking, was later diagnosed with clinical depression in his early twenties, and attempted to take his own life by driving head on into a bridge.
He survived without a scratch. It was his father's reaction that day, tears he'd never seen before, that Juggy credits with showing him there was still a life worth living. He is married to Jesse and has two sons, aged nine and six. He runs Pain to Purpose, an annual event for clients built around shared challenges and fundraising.

This Episode Is About
Juggy Sidhu talks openly about male depression, the drinking that followed his grandfather's death, and the day he tried to end his life on the way to work.
He walks through what depression actually felt like from the inside, why he couldn't accept his diagnosis at the time, and the moment his father's tears changed how he saw his own life.
The conversation turns toward what he built afterwards, a coaching business rooted in self-worth rather than discipline, and what he now believes it takes for men to ask for help before they reach the point he did.
