From a young age, Dr. Gandhi was eager to teach herself about the importance of cardiovascular health. First-hand, she saw the repercussions of a poor lifestyle and dietary habits on the body – not impacting just an individual, but an entire family as well. Through these transformative experiences, Dr. Gandhi and her family embarked on a journey that would consist of adjusting their daily lifestyle habits to reflect disease prevention and health optimization.

Despite her best efforts, Dr. Gandhi still felt like she was missing the aspect of health optimization that should be tailored to her personal needs, and to the specific needs of her family members. This empowered Dr. Gandhi to take charge of her family’s health and wellness using the limited resources she had available to her at the time – a decision that would ultimately ignite her passion to pursue a career in helping others also develop sustainable lifestyle habits as well.

During her time enrolled in the Nutrition and Nutraceuticals Sciences program at the University of Guelph, Dr. Gandhi learned about the multifactorial components that could influence an individual’s health and quality of life. Most importantly, she learned that there is a significant gap in health education. To her, Naturopathic Medicine is an opportunity to inform, educate, and guide patients towards a life that is nourishing, balanced, and fulfilling.

Dr. Gandhi views her patients like members of her family. She is excited to learn about their stories, and more notably, to join them on their journey towards living a happier, healthier life!
