About Me
My transformative journey began in 2017, prompted by a mysterious infection contracted in Greece that unleashed chaos on my body. Shedding 50 pounds in just one month, I spiraled into a state of deterioration, fearing for my very survival. Despite seeking answers from Western medicine, my condition only worsened, leaving me with vague diagnoses such as POTS, MCAS, 'unspecified mixed connective tissue disorder,' GERD, 'functional dysphagia,' Raynaud’s, PCOS, interstitial cystitis, and other debilitating conditions. It became evident that a deeper, underlying issue was at play beneath the surface of my newly onset medical challenges.
Once an ardent follower of Western medicine and an aspiring medical professional, I found myself at a crossroads. The top medical centers in the country provided few answers, compelling me to explore alternative avenues. Turning to Eastern practices and holistic healing proved to be the turning point.
While supplements, dietary changes, detoxes, and physical activity offered some relief, a breakthrough occurred through the discovery of the healing power of energetic medicine. Unaware of the term at the time, I was utilizing technology rooted in the ancient wisdom of my Indian ancestors. Through consistent practice, I unraveled the profound truth that healing manifests on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Central to this revelation was the recognition of the energetic field emitted by our bodies, often referred to as the 'quantum field,' possessing boundless potential for physical healing.
“The power of healing is every human being’s
fundamental birthright.”
Determined to bridge the realms of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being scientifically, I delved into a special master's program at Columbia University in Human Nutrition. Exploring the impact of nutrition and lifestyle factors on health outcomes, I probed the connection between circadian rhythms and cardio-metabolic disease risk in my thesis. My journey led me to the Salk Institute, where I uncovered the intricate relationship between circadian rhythms, time-restricted eating, and the microbiota. Concurrently, my spiritual practice deepened, triggering noticeable shifts in my health without the reliance on medication. This marked my introduction to the expansive field of biohacking and the interconnectedness of these elements.
Fueling my curiosity, I delved further into the scientific mechanisms linking circadian rhythms, the HPA axis, the microbiota, neurotransmitters, the immune system, post-infectious dysregulation, hormones, mental health, and autoimmunity. More importantly, how do energetic practices regulate these processes? This is a question that I am dedicated to solving in my career.
