I first met Dr. Sheila Patel through my work in collaboration with Chopra Global, and I’m so glad I did. She embodies an approach to healthcare that is human, holistic, and deeply wise. She is the doctor I’d want as my primary care physician.
Sheila Patel, M.D., has spent more than 30 years as a primary care physician, and she is renowned for her expertise in integrative medicine, blending modern medicine with the wisdom of Ayurveda, meditation, and yoga.
Dr. Sheila believes our innate ability to heal, which she has witnessed at work in various settings. This philosophy has guided her preventive, personalized, and participatory approach to health, which goes beyond treatment and focuses on teaching people how to support their inner healer, helping them thrive in body, mind, and spirit.
In our conversation we explore the state of healthcare today, how she found her path into medicine, and how she supports patients in her practice. We dive into holistic wellness, Ayurveda, and the essential role of sleep in living a vibrant life.
This is a conversation that bridges the practical and the profound, and I think you’ll come away with not only insight, but also a sense of what’s possible when we honor the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.
