Dr. Mayuri Kakoti
I am a dedicated medical professional with extensive clinical experience spanning both emergency care and specialized women's health. At GBH American Hospital, I spent nine months immersed in hands-on patient care and emergency management. This role allowed me to sharpen my clinical assessment skills and develop a keen ability to manage acute medical situations with precision and compassion. My commitment to comprehensive patient care deepened during my 21-month tenure at AIIMS Guwahati. In the Obstetrics and Gynecology department, as well as in trauma and emergency care, I managed a diverse array of critical cases. I actively participated in complex procedures related to women’s health, trauma stabilization, and acute care, ensuring that every patient received immediate and effective treatment. Working in these high-pressure environments has equipped me with a robust foundation in both preventative and emergency medical practices. My approach is firmly rooted in evidence-based medicine, and I continuously strive to enhance my skills through ongoing professional development. I believe that successful healthcare hinges on a blend of technical expertise, compassionate patient interactions, and a relentless commitment to excellence. By integrating my clinical experiences with a patient-centered focus, I aim to deliver the highest standard of care in every aspect of my practice.

Hey Vaishnavi, if your weight hasn’t changed in 4–5 years despite eating and working out, it’s time to stop winging it and dig deeper. First off, what’s your current weight and height? I want to calculate your BMI — that’ll give us a better sense of where you stand and whether we’re dealing with underweight or just a naturally lean body type. Also, have you ever done blood tests? You should check thyroid profile, CBC, vitamin B12/D, iron, liver/kidney function,stool routine and microscopy and hormones. If your gut’s acting up, a celiac screen or malabsorption panel is worth it too. Sometimes you eat right, but your body doesn’t absorb right. If your health checks out, we’ve got to upgrade your strategy. Ditch cardio-heavy workouts and go all-in on resistance training. Eat high-calorie, nutrient-dense foods — paneer, nuts, ghee, rice, shakes — and eat every 2–3 hours. Track your intake and hit a 500–700 calorie surplus per day. Never skip your post-workout meal. Let me know your BMI and lab history if you have it.
