News DeskDubai, UAE – Dheeraj, a 38-year-old real estate executive from Dubai, has experienced a remarkable transformation after enduring over a decade of chronic health issues. After years of battling various gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune diseases, and a severe shoulder injury, Dheeraj’s life took a positive turn within four months of following a complementary alternative medicine regimen at Wellth, an integrative medicine and wellness clinic.
For over ten years, Dheeraj suffered from a multitude of ailments, including blood sugar variations, fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis, SIBO, fatty liver, obesity, high inflammation, and migraines. His health issues began in childhood and worsened over time. Despite consulting numerous doctors, Dheeraj struggled to find lasting relief. “I’m not sure how many doctors I must’ve consulted in my lifetime, probably 25 to 30,” he said. “They would address every single acute symptom without addressing the underlying cause.”
Dheeraj turned to Wellth, where a team of holistic health practitioners, including Dr. Asher, a Homeopathy clinician, and functional medicine practitioners Dr. Khalid Shukri and Neeta Naresh Jhaveri, guided him through a tailored regimen. The program focused on treating the root causes of his health issues, emphasizing gut healing, diet, exercise, and stress management through wellness sessions like infrared therapy, cryotherapy, ozone sauna, and PEMF.
Within months, Dheeraj experienced significant improvements: he lost 7-8 kilograms, reduced his medication intake, improved his sleep quality, and saw a dramatic decrease in inflammation levels. According to Dr. Khalid Shukri, “In Western medicine, we tend to treat these problems with medications which can be helpful in controlling the symptoms but can also have severe side effects. What we do at Wellth is look for the underlying causes — often related to poor diet, leaky gut, stress, toxins, and low-grade infections.”
Neeta Naresh Jhaveri, Dheeraj’s wellness advisor, noted that he saw a more than 75% reduction in symptoms within 7-8 weeks of starting the Wellth program. The clinic’s collaborative approach, involving a team of physicians, health coaches, and therapists, played a crucial role in Dheeraj’s recovery. “Functional medicine is about connecting the dots, a model of thinking that tackles the whole puzzle of complex chronic diseases by treating from the root cause,” Neeta explained.
Through a three-step therapeutic method, the Wellth team addressed Dheeraj’s nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, and lifestyle habits. With personalized guidance, Dheeraj’s condition improved significantly, allowing him to regain control of his life.
Dr. Asher emphasized the connection between mood, emotions, and physical health, highlighting the importance of addressing the root causes of autoimmune conditions. Neeta stressed the impact of diet on overall health, explaining that food “alters your brain chemistry, hormones, immune system, gut flora, and gene expression.”
As a result of his new lifestyle, Dheeraj lost 8 kilograms, resolved his gastrointestinal issues, and saw his shoulder injury heal. His message to others is clear: “You have to be your own advocate and do it for yourself. Keep looking and never give up.”
Dr. Khalid Shukri hopes Dheeraj’s story will inspire others to explore integrative medicine as a viable path to long-term health. “Integrative medicine offers such an effortless roadmap that it’s doable and easy to follow for the long term,” he said.
