About Dr. Priya Sammani

Physician Turned Knowledge Simplifier | Founder of How2.me & Nirogi Lanka

Who Am I?

I’m Dr. Priya Sammani—a family physician (MBBS, DFM), health educator, and now the creator of How2.me, a platform dedicated to making every kind of knowledge accessible.

My journey started in medicine (more on that below!), but my real passion is breaking down complex topics—whether it’s AI tools, gardening, or social media marketing—into simple, actionable steps anyone can follow.

My Background

1. The Medical Side

  • 🩺 Doctor by training: Worked at Sri Lanka’s top hospitals (Lady Ridgeway, National Hospital) specializing in family medicine.
  • 📢 Health educator: Founded Nirogi Lanka, a viral health platform with 250K+ Facebook followers, 1.9M TikTok likes, and 85K YouTube subscribers. My mission? To fight misinformation with fun, easy-to-understand videos.
  • ✍️ Writer: Published 100+ articles on Medium and newspapers about health literacy.

2. The How2.me Story

After years of teaching patients how to manage diabetes, stress, and more, I realized: People struggle with “how-to” gaps in EVERY field. So I created How2.me to:

  • Teach practical skills (DIY, tech, gardening).
  • Demystify AI tools (like ChatGPT, Midjourney).
  • Share social media growth hacks (tested by me—I grew Nirogi Lanka to millions of views!).

Why Trust Me?

  • I simplify first, preach later: My medical training taught me to cut jargon—whether explaining blood pressure or blockchain.
  • I test everything: From home repair hacks to AI prompts, I try it myself before sharing.
  • I’m obsessed with clarity: If my 70-year-old aunt can’t understand it, I rewrite it.

Beyond Work

  • 🌿 Urban gardener: I grow veggies in my Colombo apartment (yes, it’s possible!).
  • 🤖 AI enthusiast: Geek out over automating workflows with ChatGPT.
  • 🎤 Speaker: Give talks on health communication and digital content (invite me!).
