In this heartfelt episode of Health Hustle Chronicles, I sit down with Dr. Deepika Kumaresan, a powerhouse in internal medicine and a true example of blending science, spirituality, and service. From her childhood in India to her rise as a physician at UT Southwestern, Dr. Kumaresan shares her incredible journey, revealing what inspired her to don the white coat and the challenges she’s faced along the way.
We talk about the realities of being a doctor—the pitfalls, sacrifices, and rewards—and how her passions for endocrinology, obesity medicine, and preventive care align with her mission to make a meaningful impact in healthcare. But it’s not all science—Dr. Kumaresan opens up about her spiritual journey, how yoga and meditation have shaped her perspective, and why balancing mind, body, and spirit is essential for both patients and practitioners.
Whether you're curious about what drives someone to become a physician or how to integrate mindfulness into a demanding career, this episode will leave you inspired and informed. Tune in for an intimate conversation with a woman redefining what it means to heal in every sense of the word!
