Dr. Anurag S Kumar: Lifestyle & Functional Medicine Physician for Metabolic & Mind-Body Health
Dr. Anurag S Kumar is a compassionate, patient-centred physician with specialised expertise in diabetology, metabolic health and mind–body medicine. Trained in Functional and Lifestyle Medicine, he combines the rigour of conventional medical science with holistic, evidence-based tools—such as breath work, HRV-based coherence training, sleep optimisation and therapeutic nutrition—to address the root causes of chronic disease rather than only managing symptoms.
He works with individuals living with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, obesity, fatty liver, PCOS, stress-related high blood pressure and chronic fatigue, as well as patients whose blood reports are “borderline abnormal” but who already feel unwell. His style is calm, practical and non-judgemental, helping patients make realistic changes that fit their daily lives, families and work schedules.
With clinical experience and research exposure in diabetes reversal using precision nutrition and digital twin technology, Dr. Anurag designs highly personalised care plans instead of one-size-fits-all diet charts. He integrates lab reports, CGM/glucometer data, lifestyle patterns and stress markers to create a dynamic “health map” for each person, aiming not just for controlled numbers, but for stable energy, mental clarity, restorative sleep and long-term disease risk reduction.
