Hi, I’m Chandra!
What started my lifestyle journey? Simply, it was becoming a parent.
Sadly, I lost both my parents by my early 20s; my father passed away from a heart attack at age 42. It was only when I became a father myself that my commitment to living a healthy and active life truly began. I wanted to ensure my children never have to experience the same loss.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve tried it all—low-calorie meals, extreme boot camp workouts, and every health trend in between. Like many, I faced the same struggles: finding motivation, resisting unhealthy foods, and managing stress.
Using my medical training, I began researching Lifestyle Medicine. What I discovered is that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for a healthy life. There’s no magic diet, exercise routine, or quick fix. The answer lies in personalised lifestyle plans. We are all individuals, so why shouldn’t our health, diet, and exercise routines reflect that?
Through research and trial and error, I’ve learned the power of personalised nutrition and exercise. As a physician, I know medicines can play a part in living a healthy life, but they often treat symptoms rather than root causes. Lifestyle changes are the medicines to treat the root causes of many health conditions like Diabetes, Heart disease, and Gut Issues.
Everyone wants to enjoy life, be present for their family, stay active, and live independently into old age. By setting the right example for your family and children, you can be in the best health possible.
Contact me, and we can discuss how I can help you achieve your best health through small, sustainable lifestyle changes tailored just for you.

I will take time to understand potential lifestyle-related causes of your health conditions and offer holistic solutions, not just prescriptions.
I will provide support through nutrition changes, stress management, sleep guidance and more.
Dr Chandra Ratnam, MD
I qualified from Kings College London Medical School with a career spanning over 20 years. The initial 10 years I practised as a Hospital Specialist in Acute and Internal Medicine working in the NHS in London, where I provided clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment of adult patients with urgent and often life threatening medical needs.
Pharmaceutical Physician Consultant:
Transitioning into Pharmaceutical Medicine, I spent the next decade as an Independent Consultant, providing advice and expertise in various areas of clinical research, drug development, drug regulations (this involved meetings with NICE and the MHRA), commerce and compliance within the pharmaceutical industry. This experience equipped me with valuable insights into optimising patient outcomes through research centred evidence-based medicine.
