Meet Dr. Pooja

Dr. Pooja standing indoors with a modern, cozy background.

Dr. Pooja Gidwani, MD MBA, is a double board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine who is redefining what modern healthcare looks like for high-performing individuals. As the founder of a next-generation concierge practice, she developed the Dr. Pooja Protocol™ — a strategic approach to long-term vitality rooted in her proprietary Strategic Longevity™ framework. This protocol is built on four core pillars:

  • Metabolic Clarity (insulin, visceral fat, inflammation, glucose control)

  • Cognitive Preservation (focus, memory, neuroinflammation, sleep)

  • Physical Sovereignty (strength, posture, endurance, recovery)

  • Hormonal & Emotional Stability (cortisol, thyroid, testosterone, nervous system regulation)

After years working in hospital systems helping patients survive, Dr. Pooja founded her practice to help people thrive — in their bodies, in their minds, and in the empires they’re building. Because only those who’ve built something from the ground up know the physical and cognitive toll it takes to lead, perform, and sustain. Whether you're a founder, executive, investor, or public figure, you can’t afford to age passively if your life runs on your performance. Her concierge model delivers next-level care. Her patients don’t just want to feel better — they want to stay dangerous: sharp, strong, and capable for decades to come.

Her clinical focus includes longevity, weight optimization, and high-touch primary care, with advanced applications of personalized nutrition, genomics, and metabolic interventions. She is known for helping patients finally move the needle — whether through GLP-1 therapy, reversing biological age markers, hormone balancing, or sustainable fat loss with strength preservation. Her motto: don’t lose who you are in the name of weight loss.

Dr. Pooja earned her MD from the University of Arizona and completed her Internal Medicine residency at UT Health Houston. She is certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine, an active member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), and a thought leader within the global Longevity Docs™ Consortium.

“ Dr. Pooja’s Protocol keeps you dangerous: clear-minded, strong-bodied, and relentlessly capable of creating, performing, and leading at the highest level. Whether you're optimizing for your next decade or your next deal — you don’t need to live forever. Because the empires you’re building, the people you’re leading, and the life you’ve worked for all depend on one thing: your ability to keep showing up with clarity, energy, and presence. The hard work means nothing if you don’t have the time or strength to enjoy the fruits of your labor.”
