For over a decade, I stood at hospital bedsides caring for people in metabolic crisis. Type 2 diabetes. Heart attacks. Strokes. Kidney failure. Every patient had a story that started the same way: years of subtle symptoms—fatigue, brain fog, weight gain—dismissed as 'normal aging.' Labs that looked fine. Doctors who said nothing was wrong. Until suddenly, everything was.

I became a physician to heal people, but I was watching them suffer from diseases we could have prevented. It broke my heart. And it made me realize our healthcare system was fundamentally broken—waiting for disease instead of optimizing health. So I made a shift. From reactive hospital medicine to proactive lifestyle medicine. From treating disease to preventing it.

But here's what changed everything: I entered midlife myself. Suddenly, I was the one experiencing unexplained fatigue. The brain fog that made simple tasks feel impossible. The metabolic changes that didn't show up on my 'normal' labs but were undeniably real. I became my own patient. And in searching for answers—combining my medical training with insights from my Indian heritage's holistic approach to health—I discovered what actually works.

Now, as a double board‑certified physician in Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine, I guide midlife professionals from confusion to clarity. I help you understand what's happening in your body, interpret your labs through the lens of optimal health (not just disease detection), and create evidence‑based strategies for sustained energy, mental clarity, and longevity. Because you deserve more than being told you're 'fine' when you know you're not. You deserve answers. Understanding. A path forward. And a physician who's lived this journey alongside you.

That's why I created The CogniBios Framework — a physician‑designed, evidence‑based approach to reversing metabolic dysfunction and optimizing midlife health.
