WHY INDIA, WHY NOW

A Nation at a Critical Turning Point

India faces one of the world's highest burdens of preventable chronic disease. The time for Lifestyle Medicine is now.

Chronic Disease Burden

India hosts the world's diabetes capital with over 77 million diabetics, while heart disease, obesity, and hypertension affect millions more — all largely preventable through lifestyle intervention.

Gap in Medical Education

Most Indian doctors receive minimal to no training in Lifestyle Medicine during their medical education, leaving them unprepared to address the root causes of chronic disease.

Rising Healthcare Costs

Chronic disease management is pushing healthcare costs beyond reach for millions. Lifestyle Medicine offers cost-effective solutions that reduce dependency on long-term medication.

Missed Opportunity

With its rich tradition of holistic health practices and a massive healthcare system, India is uniquely positioned to become a global leader in Lifestyle Medicine — if we act now.

OUR MISSION

To revolutionise India's healthcare landscape by embedding Lifestyle Medicine at its core – from policy to practice, from communities to corporates.
