Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on October 23, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Dr. Sanjay Gupta! You're the only neurosurgeon we know who can dissect complex medical issues on CNN and still keep a straight face when asked if chocolate counts as medicine. Your calm demeanor during intense breaking news has made you America's favorite doctor—sorry, Dr. Oz!

From guiding us through pandemics to exploring fascinating insights in your podcast "Chasing Life," you've educated millions while somehow managing not to age at all (seriously, what's your secret?). May this birthday bring fewer emergency calls from Anderson Cooper and more time for cake.

Here's wishing you another year of health breakthroughs—and maybe finally convincing Wolf Blitzer that laughter truly is the best medicine!
