You know the diagnosis. Let’s help you understand it.
Every condition here follows the same five-part structure — what it is, how to recognise it, which tests help, what actually changes it, and where to learn more. Written in a doctor’s practice, kept free of the things that make health writing hard to trust, and each page says plainly whether it has been medically reviewed yet.
Gut health
Acidity, reflux, bloating and bowel habit.
Acidity and GERD
Most people call it acidity and treat it with a sachet. The real problem is usually a valve opening at the wrong moment — and that changes what works.
Understand thisConstipation
Daily is not the standard — comfortable and complete is. Constipation has real subtypes, and the one most often missed does not respond to more fibre at all.
Understand thisIrritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
A gut that is structurally normal but behaving differently. IBS is a positive diagnosis made on a recognisable pattern — not a label applied when tests come back clear.
Understand thisSilent Reflux (LPR)
Constant throat clearing, a lump sensation, a tired voice — and no heartburn at all. Silent reflux is missed for years, and also diagnosed where it is absent.
Understand this
Metabolic health
Weight, blood sugar and insulin resistance.
Insulin Resistance
Years before a sugar report turns abnormal, the body is already working harder to keep it normal. This page is about that mechanism — how insulin resistance develops, what fasting insulin and HOMA-IR measure, and why South Asian bodies reach it sooner.
Understand thisPrediabetes
An HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.4% is not diabetes, and it is not nothing. It is the window in which the outcome is still genuinely open.
Understand thisType 2 Diabetes
More people live with type 2 diabetes in India than almost anywhere on earth, and most were handed a number and a prescription rather than an explanation. What the diagnosis means, and where real control comes from.
Understand thisWeight Management
Body weight is regulated by biology, not willpower alone. What drives it in Indian bodies and Indian kitchens, what is worth measuring, and what makes a change hold.
Understand this
Liver
Fatty liver and abnormal liver tests.
Elevated Liver Enzymes
An SGPT of 68 on a routine report is one of the commonest reasons people go looking for answers at midnight. What these enzymes measure, what raises them in India, and how a raised value is worked out.
Understand thisFatty Liver Disease
Fat stored inside liver cells is one of the most common findings on an Indian ultrasound report — and one of the most reversible. Here is what it means, what it does not mean, and what actually changes it.
Understand this
Hormones
Thyroid, PCOS and menopause.
Menopause
The years around the last period change more than the calendar. What is actually happening, which symptoms go unreported in Indian consultations, and what the evidence says about treating them.
Understand thisPCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
PCOS is a metabolic and endocrine condition, not a verdict on how hard you have tried. What the diagnosis means, what the scan does and does not show, and what genuinely changes it.
Understand thisThyroid Disorders
Around one in ten Indian adults has a thyroid disorder, and a good number of those reports are misread. What the gland does, what the numbers mean, and when a raised TSH warrants treatment rather than a repeat.
Understand this
Nutrition
Iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin D.
Iron Deficiency Anaemia
Iron stores fall long before haemoglobin does, which is why tiredness can arrive months before a report calls you anaemic. Finding the reason behind it matters as much as correcting the number.
Understand thisVitamin B12 Deficiency
One of India's most common nutritional deficiencies, and one of the few where nerve damage can begin before the blood count changes at all. How B12 is absorbed explains almost everything about who becomes deficient.
Understand thisVitamin D Deficiency
India has abundant sunshine and widespread vitamin D deficiency at the same time. Understanding why explains what genuinely needs treating — bone pain, muscle weakness, osteomalacia — and which claims made for this vitamin the evidence does not support.
