I’m an endocrinologist who spends most of her time helping people need less medication.

Dr. Roshani Sanghani is the founder of Reisaan Health. It’s a doctor-led clinical program for people with diabetes, weight concerns, PCOS, thyroid conditions, and other metabolic health challenges. She has practiced lifestyle-first endocrinology for over 20 years and coached patients across 12+ countries. In 2024, she published Turn Around Diabetes - endorsed by faculty at Harvard Medical School and Duke University, and by the co-founder of Motivational Interviewing. She practices in Mumbai and sees patients virtually worldwide.
Years earlier, during my fellowship, I’d already seen the disconnect. I was prescribing medications on one side of a corridor. On the other side was a diabetes education class, where I first learned that carbohydrate triggers the maximum insulin response. That connection changed how I practiced. But I hadn’t changed how I lived.
Instead of accepting the diagnosis, I changed my lifestyle. More than a decade later, I have no diabetes. Same genes, different trajectory. I was on thyroid medication for years too. I’ve been off it for over a decade. But fixing my food alone wouldn’t have been enough. The stress was driving my blood glucose up. The poor sleep was making the stress worse. Everything was connected.

Glucose is high, add medicine. Blood pressure is high, add medicine. Cholesterol is high, add medicine. We manage numbers without asking: why is this number high? What lifestyle is driving this? What would it take to change it at the root?
They can write “diet and exercise” on a letterhead. The conversation stops there. No guidance on what to eat. No support for the behavioral change that makes it sustainable. The advice is right. But there’s nobody to help you actually do it.
Go on a diet. Reduce your carbs. Exercise more. These are instructions. They are not change. When the diet ends, and it always ends, you go back to being whoever you were before. That’s not a failure. That’s what happens when nobody helps you change the way you see yourself. Yo-yo dieting is not a character flaw. It’s a design flaw in how we treat people.
These three gaps are why I created Reisaan Health. An endocrinologist-led, lifestyle-first program. Detailed protocols for nutrition, sleep, stress, and exercise. And motivational interviewing: the coaching approach that helps patients find their own reasons to change, in their own words. That took a team.

Not another book that says eat less and move more. Turn Around Diabetes covers the four things that actually drive metabolic health (Nutrition, Sleep, Stress Management, and Exercise) and the order in which to change them. Written for patients. Endorsed by the doctors who treat them.

Dr. Roshani Sanghani is that kind of gem.”

“A brilliant self-care book… useful not just for people helping themselves, but for people like me who are doctors trying to help their patients.”

“Education is the cornerstone to tackling this disease, and this book provides that in ample measure.”

“By the time I reached your clinic, I had given up on myself. I couldn’t go a minute without thinking of what I’m going to be eating next. Food was my best friend — it became just my crutch when I was feeling stressed. The biggest shift was from saying ‘I have to lose weight’ to ‘I want to.’”

“All the best doctor’s of this country has told me that you are diabetic for more than 20 years and no tablets will work on you. You must now go on insulin. She has done what she promised.”
Narendra · Type 2 Diabetes · 20+ years · Avoided insulin
“In the past 20 years, I have met many endocrinologists but did not ever meet a doctor who genuinely cared about the patient or made the effort to listen, understand the person’s issues and tackle the root cause. She has helped me grow as an individual, deal with issues, heal myself and evolve into the optimistic, happy and confident person that I am today.”

Dr. Roshani’s team reviews your lab reports and full health history before the call. They spend 30 minutes or more on this. So when you meet, she isn’t collecting information. She’s connecting the dots. You leave with a clear picture of what is causing your condition, and what to do about it.
Both. Dr. Roshani sees patients in person in Mumbai and online by video from anywhere in the world. Most consultations are online. Online works just as well. All you need is an internet connection. Calls are scheduled between 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM IST, Monday to Saturday.
Type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, weight management, PCOS, thyroid conditions, Type 1 diabetes, fatty liver, and metabolic syndrome. Dr. Roshani also works with people who have no diagnosis yet but want to prevent one. If you’re not sure whether your situation fits, book a first consultation - she’ll tell you honestly.
Dr. Roshani reviews every patient’s history before their first consultation. She leads all clinical decisions and manages all medication changes. Between consultations, you work closely with your assigned health coach, who tracks your progress and adjusts your plan. She joins alternate consultations to review how things are moving.
Yes. Dr. Roshani has coached patients across 12+ countries, including the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Singapore, UAE, Nigeria, and Kenya. For patients in India, she manages medication directly once the program starts. For international patients, she provides clinical guidance that you can share with your local doctor (prescriber). Working with her online does not replace the need for physical examinations with your primary care provider.
Your endocrinologist may be excellent at managing your medications. Most endocrinologists are. That’s what they’re trained for. What most practices don’t have is the time or the infrastructure to work on the lifestyle side alongside medication. That’s what Reisaan adds. You don’t need to leave your current doctor to work with Dr. Roshani.
It’s a coaching approach that helps you find your own reasons to change, instead of being told what to do. The idea is simple: if the change wasn’t your idea, it won’t last. Dr. Roshani’s role is to help you get in touch with what you actually want for your health, and then support you in getting there. She trained under Dr. William Miller, who co-created this approach over 40 years ago.
Because stress and emotional health affect your hormones and your blood glucose directly. Dr. Roshani saw this in her own life. Stress was one of the causes of her pre-diabetes. Some patients need support that goes beyond nutrition and exercise. Bhairavi works with patients on the emotional layer that most medical teams don’t touch.
The book teaches the framework: the four areas that drive metabolic health, and the order in which to change them. The program applies that framework to your specific body, with lab work, medication management, a coaching team, and consultations every 10-12 days. The book is your companion. The program is your clinical team.
Three months. You have a consultation with Dr. Roshani and her team every 10-12 days, plus a video course, app tracking, and chat support throughout. Some patients reach their clinical goals before the program ends. Others continue with maintenance. That’s discussed at the end, not upfront.
A few public reviews from people who worked with Dr. Roshani and the Reisaan team.
“Everything they explained actually made sense. After applying the principles, I lost most of my pot belly quickly - and as a bonus, I was also significantly reducing my risk of cardiovascular problems without even targeting them directly.”

“In just six months, my HbA1c plummeted from 7.6 to 5.8, and I shed 7 kg that I never thought I could. My blood pressure is super stable now too, and I'm very close to ditching my BP meds. Double blessing.”
Divyesh · Google review
“I can now lift my son, which I couldn't earlier. My sleep is better. My stress levels are lower. I would highly recommend Dr. Roshani for anyone looking to change their lifestyle the healthy and scientific way.”
