"I spoke to my dad one day. He said, listen, if you've been brought here to this particular point, your job is to continue, just keep moving. Today, we have doctors working with us, part of our team. We have referrals because we kept believing what we were doing. My dad always said, flow with life but be mindful, flow."

"All I could see was low immunity, low immunity markers, low vitamin D3 levels, low B12. For me, that's what the body needs for the immune system. Something said, just start putting this back into his plan. Nothing, we just put the fundamentals back in place, what the body needed. He looks at cellular nutrition, getting adequate exercise, good restful sleep, emotional well-being, and he also looks at the spirit."

"My purpose is my next patient, it's never changed. My goal is my next patient. People say, but what about your family? Yeah, that's there, that's my responsibility, that's my love, but this is my purpose. And if I'm able to fulfill this purpose, everything around me gets better. So that's my passion, and that's my purpose. A lot of people ask me, what my purpose is. My purpose is my next patient."

"When I started off about 13 years ago, I was this one guy in India talking about a field of medicine that only existed in the United States of America, and that too with difficulty. We had all the enemies, from a lot of doctors to whatever. My dad said, listen, if you've been brought here to this particular point, your job is to continue, just keep moving. Today, we have doctors working with us, part of our team. We have referrals because we kept believing what we were doing. Many times the challenge was, are we doing the right thing, but we were getting results. We were getting more and more patients than we could handle. We had a waitlist of 300 patients at a particular time."

"I just lived life mindfully and I flowed. I never knew, I absolutely never had a plan to do what I'm doing today. I studied, but I moved into the corporate world, but I lived life. I remember my dad always saying, flow with life but be mindful, flow. Our purposes can keep changing. Right now, if I'm going to swim, it's to have a great swim, enjoy myself. So I believe purpose is kind of blown out of proportion today. That one purpose, purpose, no, it can be different for all of us. Today, the purpose of a child is to play and have a good time. That purpose is going to change as the child grows. So I think we need to expand our thinking about a purpose but be more mindful about intention."

He looks at cellular nutrition, getting adequate exercise, good restful sleep, emotional well-being, and he also looks at the spirit. We're not selling a product, we don't have anything to sell. We're coaching people, we're changing their lifestyles. My purpose is my next patient, it's never changed. My goal is my next patient. People say, but what about your family? Yeah, that's there, that's my responsibility, that's my love, but this is my purpose. And if I'm able to fulfill this purpose, everything around me gets better."

"At the age of 34, it hit me. I got my calling. I realized I had a gift, and I enjoyed, I enjoyed what I did. That became my passion. It doesn't mean I can't have other passions, but this gives me joy. It gives me so much joy. Even though my line has a lot of death, I wake up every morning with three or four messages of patients who have passed through overnight, but it gets me joy to know that, hey, you have a gift, you can use it, it's got a result, you're making value and impact. That's my purpose, that's my passion."

"I had a cancer patient. I got a call late at night one day in Mumbai. There was a very big family in India. They said, we're going to fly you down, you need to see a patient. I said, what kind of case is it? They said cancer, and he has a few weeks left to live. So I said, how can I help? I'm a nutritionist, like what can I do? And the wife was very insistent. She was saying, Luke, please come. I went, and while I was there, the patient was sleeping. I was going through his medical records, five years of cancer, and all I could see was low immunity, low immunity markers, low vitamin D3 levels, low B12. Something said, like, hey, just start putting this back into his plan. This guy lived on for four years. In a week my life changed. I had calls coming in from different parts because of Word of Mouth. They were like, what magic did you do? Nothing, we just put the fundamentals back in place, what the body needed, B12, D3 for the immune system, bring down inflammatory markers. That was a changing point, and that's when I realized that, hey, there's something beyond that a lot of people are missing. I see it, and I said I want to fill that gap with lifestyle medicine."
