Education

Growing up in India, Dr. Anup was surrounded by Ayurvedic home remedies and ritual practices. However, his interest was focused on biological sciences throughout his schooling. He completed his undergraduate degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology at UCSB. This study led him to a close understanding of human physiology, its complexity and interconnectedness. It also highlighted the shortcomings of modern pharmaceuticals in treating the root cause of disease.

In the study of Ayurveda at Kerala Ayurveda Academy and Tilak Ayurved University and Naturopathy at Bastyr University, Dr. Anup discovered this capability of individualizing medicine and treating the root cause. Treating the whole system as one, honoring the interconnectedness of organs and symptoms, as well as preventing overuse of drugs and supplements seemed conducive to sustaining a wholesome human life.
