Healing Herself, Inspiring Thousands: The Story of Dr. Rekhaa Konur
It is a powerful story of self-healing, clinical transformation, and purpose-driven care. A senior anesthesiologist by training, her career took a radical shift in 2007 after she experienced unexplained chest pain (angina). Despite extensive medical evaluations, no clear cause was found. She was prescribed medications, but the pain persisted—and so did her search for answers beyond conventional medicine.
Instead of surrendering to symptomatic management, Dr. Rekhaa began exploring the world of functional and metabolic health. With deep lifestyle changes, she not only resolved her angina but also reversed her newly diagnosed diabetes—within one month—without medication. Today, she has remained medication-free and symptom-free for over six years.
This profound transformation inspired a new mission: helping others achieve the same. She went on to study nutrition, immerse herself in functional medicine principles, and treat over 1,500 patients in just 18 months through a diabetes reversal program.
