During the inauguration Dr. Mirudhubhasini said, “We are launching the Tejas Centre with the core concept of ‘Women and Wellness.’ Many times, individuals face lifestyle issues intertwined with medical problems. During such instances, a comprehensive approach encompassing the mind, body, and spirit becomes essential for effective treatment. With over 50 years of experience, I am here to provide health guidance based on people’s needs. Dr. Shilpa Shah, an extensively qualified naturopathy doctor with over 20 years of experience, assists in coordinating patients’ concerns.
Our team comprises fitness trainers, physiotherapists, and highly experienced dietitians who tailor diets according to individual body types. A dedicated team will oversee patient care, ensuring a holistic and high-quality treatment approach. Tejas aims to enhance the overall health of women in all age groups.”
Dr. Shilpa Shah, Lifestyle Health Consultant, stated, “Tejas Centre is an initiative of the Women’s Center designed for women of all age groups. Health issues ranging from young girls to menopausal individuals, such as PCOD and infertility due to lifestyle factors, can be effectively addressed. Many women, particularly after reaching menopause, encounter conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, heart problems, and joint-related issues, often stemming from inadequate physical activity and excessive eating. These factors contribute to various metabolic issues. To tackle these concerns, along with stress management, autoimmune diseases, high blood pressure, and anxiety in women, Tejas offers comprehensive holistic healthcare services.”
