My journey into medicine was inspired early on by my grandfather, a healer who practiced Ayurveda. His compassion and care showed me the profound impact of holistic healing—treating not just symptoms but the whole person. This deep-rooted influence stayed with me as I pursued a career in medicine, training in Internal Medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and later working for nearly two decades in the pharmaceutical industry, leading medical affairs and bringing innovative medicines to patients worldwide.

However, as a practicing physician, I witnessed many of the limitations of traditional medicine. Prescriptions played an important role in helping manage symptoms but couldn’t always create lasting change. I realized that true healing begins with education—empowering patients with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to take control of their well-being.
