Read my journey.
Being trained in conventional medicine, I always thought that the prescriptions are the best way to treat my patients, patient visits ended less than 20 minutes and providing some handouts. I was biased about recommending alternative therapies and proper supplementation. It all changed when a close member of my family started having serious gut issues. Prescriptions did not help, but an alternative therapy with dietary modification and supplementation helped to control the symptoms. This perplexed me and motivated me to pursue a 2-year fellowship in Integrative medicine. I learnt to listen, spend more time and have a collaborative relationship with my patients.
My father who is diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in his fifties, controlled his blood sugar with herbs recommended by a homeopath without medications for a long time until 80 years of age. He used to go for long walks. My father-in-law who is 96 years old now, got relief from migraine and chronic constipation by doing ‘Mudra therapy’ in his eighties! It all made sense as I started looking into holistic approach more seriously and realized age is no bar for optimal health.
I have treated and heard great healing stories from hundreds of my patients. I am here to listen to your stories and health challenges. I will be your trusted partner to guide you in overcoming your obstacles and create a roadmap for your wellness by root cause resolution.
