Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly dealing with lifestyle disorders — you know, things like high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol imbalances, and even hypotension cases which are kinda less talked about but super frustrating for patients. I’ve seen how these problems creep in slowly... people just don’t notice until it’s too much. Or they think it’s “normal aging” which isn’t always true. That’s what got me interested in this field in the first place.
Usually I work on creating long-term plans that aren’t just about medicine (though sometimes we need that too). I look into daily habits, food timings, digestion quality, even sleep cycle — and sometimes that leads to a bigger picture of what's actually going on. Like, someone might come in for high BP but you figure out their stress and diet are all over the place. Or their diabetes won't settle down cause their sleep’s totally disturbed.
Also I use both Ayurvedic and modern tools — diet changes, herbal support if needed, plus tracking vitals regularly. It’s not magic, but it works when done properly. Sometimes I need to change the plan midway, especially if the numbers aren't responding... or if patient feel weird on something. It’s a two-way process. And to be honest, each case still teaches me something. I don’t stick to a one-size-fits-all thing — like I won’t give the same approach for two diabetic patients, cause their lifestyle n body are not same anyway.
I know these issues are all super common now, but that’s exactly why we should take them seriously early on. Not when things are already messed up. I’m still learning and adjusting everyday — that’s kinda the point of medicine right? |
Achievements: | I am certified in nutrition, which kinda fits naturally with how I treat patients anyway. It’s not just about knowing calories or fats, it’s more about how food works in daily life — like what’s digesting right, what’s building ama (toxins), when to eat, or not eat at all. I took the course cause I really wanted to go deeper into food choices, especially for ppl with BP, diabetes or even fatigue that just doesn’t go away. It helps me design plans that actually make sense... not just textbook advice. |
I am practicing Ayurveda and modern medicine both since around 2.5 years now. Started out after graduation with some basic OPD postings and slowly found myself more drawn toward treating chronic, everyday conditions that honestly a lot of people don’t take seriously till they get worse — like diabetes, high BP, high cholesterol, sluggish liver, stuff like that. It’s everywhere. And I realised it’s not just about giving medicine, right? People need someone to actually listen to what’s going on with them — like how long they been feeling low energy, or weird bloating after meals, or just not sleeping right. Sometimes that tells you more than a test report. During my time working as a medical officer at Livasa Hospital (Ambani Group), I handled a lot of mixed cases — we’re talking lifestyle disorders mostly. Like you'd see back-to-back patients with Type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or hypertension and each one had a different story behind it. That’s where the Ayurvedic part helped me a lot. I would start noticing the prakriti types, digestion patterns, stress habits etc... and that started shaping how I approached treatment. Not just “take this tablet twice a day,” but like — how’s your routine? What’s your eating timing? How much water are you actually drinking?? It became more personal, not just protocol. Also I kind of got used to balancing both sides — I mean ayurvedic rasayanas and lifestyle herbs where they fit, but also statins or metformin if someone clearly needed that too. No point pretending one system solves everything. I’m not saying I have all the answers, sometimes I still have to step back and rethink my plan. But overall, I try to be thorough. And I really value patient feedback — like when someone says their energy is finally better, or their BP’s coming down without side effects, or they’re actually enjoying food again after months. That means a lot. I’m still learning. And that’s fine. Because I think good medicine isn’t perfect anyway. It’s just — real, consistent care.
