Meet Jyoti Patel M.D.

 The perfect storm. Cancer can be insidious and unexpected.

My story started when I was 29 years old. I was in my third year of residency, completing two residencies at the same time, working long hours on little to no sleep, poor diet, under constant pressure and I had just delivered my first child. And then I was diagnosed with cancer.

My only thought was how I needed to continue my current work schedule and 'not let anyone down' or 'show everyone I could handle it'. So, I worked through the first surgery, then the second, third, and fourth for metastatic disease, not seeing the connection between my health and my life choices. Until I did. 

This healing journey allowed me to experience vulnerability, and humility and gave me insight into how it feels to be a patient. It cultivated compassion and a deeper understanding of my patient's suffering. It also allowed me to see the perfect storm of stress, nutrition, poor lifestyle choices, and environmental triggers, that leads to the development of disease. It empowered me to listen, to be present, and to teach my patients about how to prevent, treat, and reverse chronic disease. It is my life’s mission as a healer and educator to empower you with knowledge so you can take back control of your health. So glad you are here!
