Shekhar Karmarkar
I am Shekhar Karmakar. Presently, I live in Vancouver, Canada. I have done my MBBS and Diploma in Anesthesiology from B. J. Medical College and the University of Pune and worked as an anesthesiologist for 12 years.
I completed a course in health counseling from Dr.Sears Wellness Institute. While working with all specialties of medical practice and ICU, I got a holistic picture of the interaction between a patient and a disease.
I studied the relation between lifestyle diseases, drugs, food, and our diet. When I spent 10 years in the USA, I could see the effects of junk food and fast food on people. All lifestyle diseases from diabetes to obesity to PCOS, are linked with our food, exercise, and life patterns.
I decided to start health coaching to benefit patients suffering from lifestyle diseases through intervention in food, diet, exercise, and lifestyle.
