Description

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Anju, a former family doctor who shifted into functional medicine after realizing that treating symptoms wasn’t enough… She wanted to help people truly heal.

Dr. Anju and I talk about:

  • How growing up in India with home-cooked meals shaped her view on food
  • What led her to question the limits of conventional medicine
  • Why she now sees sugar as a major disruptor to health, and encourages patients to cut it out completely
  • How sugar affects hormones, energy, and cravings
  • What functional medicine really means (and how it differs from the mainstream approach)
  • Why eating well isn't about perfection, but about finding what works for your body

Dr. Anju shares her personal health journey, how she guides her patients through holistic change (starting with cutting sugar, dairy, and gluten), and why she believes no one has to suffer.
