I had the pleasure of studying with Dr. Gupta for three months during a study abroad program, while in medical school. I cannot recommend his teaching highly enough. For a western-educated physician-in-training, it was revelatory to study in an immersive environment, where I was taught ways to follow healthy, constitution-specific, daily routines and eating habits as I learned. Western medical schools would do well to study this approach, especially as evidence continues to show that students perform better, and retain more information when they are healthy, alert, well-nourished, and well-rested. I continue to refer back to my notes from those precious three months, 7 years into my practice as an independent physician in the United States, and continue to use his recommendations with my patients on a regular basis.
