Dr Alka Patel

Longevity and Lifestyle Doctor

Collaborating with Adina

I’m Dr Alka, GP turned longevity and lifestyle doctor.

My pivot came after my own health crisis.

I thought I was thriving at the peak of my career.
My body thought otherwise.

Four weeks in hospital. Liver and kidneys failing.
Complete burnout.

My beautiful children visited me in hospital on my birthday.
I didn’t know if I’d see them again.

That was when I realised:
The system I worked in wasn’t designed to keep people healthy.
It was designed to manage disease after it arrived.
And no one was teaching people how to do health.

So I made a decision.

For the last decade, I’ve worked differently.
I look earlier. Deeper. More precisely.

Not at symptoms.
At signals.
Not at disease.
At drift.

Test. Don’t guess.
Measure what matters.
Then act with precision.
