When Dr. Kaushal Kalra began his medical career 15 years ago, he thought success meant helping as many patients as possible symptomatically manage their chronic conditions. But after just one year, Kaushal found himself gaining weight, suffering daily headaches, and inching towards diabetes and burnout, the same symptoms as his patients. It jump-started his journey towards embodying the healthy lifestyle he was so adamantly proposing to others.
“Here I was, telling my patients how to live healthier lives while ignoring my own,” he recalls. “I realized medicine had to be about more than managing disease; it had to be about reversing it.”
That realization became the foundation of Health 360º Wellness Clinic, a Memphis-based physician-led practice devoted to preventative, personalized, and integrated care.
Over the years working as a primary care physician, Kaushal began noticing patterns: despite advancements in technology, testing, and medicine, more and more people were developing chronic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, cancer, anxiety, depression, and obesity.
“Hospitals and fitness centers are saving lives, so why aren’t we talking to each other?” he recalls wondering. “Health 360º Wellness Clinic bridges the gap between healthcare and fitness.”
Health 360º takes a patient-centered, scientifically integrated approach to understand the whole of an individual — mind, body, and energy. For that reason, their testing covers everything from body composition and indirect calorimetry to VO2 max, cardio-pulmonary fitness tests, blood work, and gut microbiome analysis, along with personalized nutrition, exercise, and breathwork training, both onsite and off. Their new location, opening January 2026, will include an expanded medical-fitness center to bring all these services together under one roof.
“We run on the PRO model,” Kaushal explains of their approach, “Prevention, Reversing chronic disease, and Optimizing health.” The practice has had great success across the board, particularly in reversing diabetes and treating fatigue, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, and hypertension, in addition to optimizing athletic performance in otherwise healthy individuals.
In Shelby County, 70% of the residents are overweight, 42% have obesity, one in seven have diabetes, and one in twelve have heart disease. “Our model integrates medical economics into preventive care — investing in disease reversal early to reduce the overall healthcare burden and improve quality of life,” he explains.
The four pillars of wellness at Health 360º are nutrition, movement, sleep, and emotional regulation — the latter playing a larger role than people imagine. “This subjective measure directly links to chronic problems in the heart, kidneys, and liver through signals from the brain, leaving people at higher risk for disease if they struggle to handle emotions.”
For that reason, Health 360º’s training involves helping patients recognize how subtle changes in their breathing patterns can influence their energy and focus. “This isn’t voodoo medicine anymore; we now have science to support it.” Studies on techniques such as alternate nostril and box breathing show that these methods can reduce the body’s sympathetic load, which, if left unchecked, can contribute to serious long-term health complications.
