Today we’d like to introduce you to Kaushal Kalra.
Hi Kaushal, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My story began in a small village in Sohna, Gurgaon, India, where I grew up watching my father care for people not just as patients, but as family. He was the local healer, counselor, and first responder — and I saw from an early age that true healthcare is not a transaction, it is a relationship built on trust, presence, and responsibility to the community.
That seed stayed with me as I pursued medical school in India and later completed Family Medicine training in New York. For more than 15 years I practiced medicine in the traditional system, helping patients manage diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and burnout — the same conditions I was seeing start to emerge in my own body as well. I was doing everything “right” medically, yet something felt incomplete. We were treating disease after it had already taken root — not preventing it from happening in the first place.
The turning point came with a simple but powerful question that wouldn’t leave me:
“How can I — and my patients — truly maintain a disease-free state?”
That question became a calling, and eventually a mission. I realized that prevention is not a brochure or a recommendation — it is a system, a way of delivering care. It requires time, coaching, diagnostics, movement, nutrition, stress recovery, and a physician-led team that walks with patients, not just prescribes to them.
That is how Health 360° was born — not as another clinic, but as a medical wellness model built around prevention, reversal, and optimization. A place where patients don’t come to be managed, they come to transform. A place where healthcare returns to its original intention — to help people stay well, not simply survive illness.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has been anything but smooth — but I don’t believe it was meant to be. Growth rarely happens on flat ground. Every challenge pushed me to evolve, to learn, and to refine not just how I practice medicine, but why I practice it.
I feel deeply blessed to be part of people’s lives in such an intimate way — to help individuals and families reclaim their health. But the journey also exposed the limitations of our healthcare system: short visits, reactive care, and a structure that rewards treatment, not prevention. That tension fueled my desire to acquire more skills beyond conventional medicine — nutrition, exercise physiology, metabolic health, behavioral change science — because true healing requires more than prescriptions.
There were times when I had to rebuild my approach from the ground up, when I realized that practicing “good medicine” meant stepping outside of the traditional system. I am still learning every day, and I believe that is what keeps this mission alive — evolution, curiosity, and an unshakable belief that people deserve more than disease management… they deserve the opportunity to stay well.
We’ve been impressed with Health 360° Wellness Clinic, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Health 360° is a physician-led wellness and disease-reversal clinic built on a very different philosophy of care: we don’t wait for illness — we prevent it and reverse it. Instead of quick visits and symptom-based treatment, we deliver a comprehensive, integrated model that combines medicine, nutrition, movement, and behavior change under one roof.
We specialize in metabolic health, obesity, diabetes prevention and reversal, and long-term vitality. Patients come to us not only to lower their lab numbers, but to reclaim their energy, mobility, and quality of life.
What makes Health 360° different is how we care for people. Our visits are longer, our diagnostics go deeper, and our ongoing support is personalized — blending medical care with coaching and accountability so patients actually succeed. Most clinics manage disease; we help patients build health from the foundation up.
What we are known for:
• A science-based prevention and reversal model (not just management)
• Physician-directed care combined with a full wellness team
• Measurable outcomes — body composition, VO₂ max, metabolic function
• Personalized nutrition and exercise prescriptions, not generic handouts
• Innovative diagnostics typically found only in performance medicine settings
What sets us apart:
We don’t separate “healthcare” and “wellness” — we treat them as one system. Medicine, movement, metabolism, and mindset operate together, so we built a clinic that treats them together. That integration is rare in today’s healthcare landscape.
What I am most proud of brand-wise
Health 360° has become a place where patients feel seen, supported, and empowered — not judged, rushed, or dismissed. Our brand stands for relationship-based medicine, prevention before prescription, and giving people the tools to live disease-free — not just “controlled.”
What I want readers to know
This is not concierge medicine and it is not a gym — it is a new category of care:
medical wellness designed to reverse disease — and sustain health for life.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
The most important quality behind my success is a purpose-driven passion to uplift human health. I wake up every day with a simple mission: remove suffering by restoring people’s ability to live well.
My work is grounded in compassion, but guided by science. I believe care must be both heart-centered and evidence-based — listening deeply to the patient while also bringing the highest level of medical rigor to prevention and disease reversal.
What sets my approach apart is the belief that people are not passive recipients of healthcare; they are active participants in their own transformation. When you empower someone with knowledge, structure, and support, you don’t just improve their numbers — you change the trajectory of their life.
That blend of empathy, scientific discipline, and a relentless commitment to human potential is what continues to drive Health 360° and my journey as a physician.
