PERSONAL

Health and fitness has always been my passion. It began with yoga which I started in high school. Later while I was studying medicine I had the opportunity to study taekwondo, Muay Thai, Russian street defence system. Apart from this I have been a gym rat from 1996.
As I progressed in my education as medical student year by year I also couldn’t help but notice that now the biggest killer are not infectious diseases but rather lifestyle disease like CVD, hypertension, cholesterol, obesity both child and adult. And all we as doctors could was just to help relieve the symptoms of disease with medicine. There was no absolute cure.
The only way out for people with these disease was a complete lifestyle modification.But there was a big gap between what the doctors knew about diet and fitness and what the trainers and dieticians knew about the medical field.Thus in 2002 upon my coming back to India I decided that with a combination of medical knowledge and my passion in fitness I was the person who could bridge the gap and help people.
I saw drastic improvements when my patients modified their diet and became more physically active. Not only were they able to alleviate symptoms of the disease (e.g. high blood sugar, cholesterol, hypertension) they were also able to reduce the dose of medication. Some were actually able to get off the medications completely.
I was able to confirm my belief in body’s ability to heal itself when properly supported through right nutrition and physical activity, a healthy state of mind, and appropriate life style modifications.
With my knowledge and skills I practice a "whole person" approach, treating the entire person rather than just symptoms because I believe that body has the ability to heal itself when properly supported through right nutrition and physical activity, a healthy state of mind, and appropriate life style modifications.
Everybody is different and that there cannot be any generalized health & wellness plan. Thus focusing on customized preventive health care programs for every individual, I help in developing attitudes and lifestyles that don't just fight illness, but help prevent it, too.
