Meet Your Mentor

Dr Anupam Gaur

Physician. Best Selling Author. Founder & Mentor.

Dr. Anupam Gaur is a physician, metabolic health expert, and mentor to healthcare professionals seeking to move beyond disease management into true health restoration. He is the Founder and Director of the Centre for Optimum Health (CFOH), Gurgaon, and the Founder of the Institute of Health Optimisation and Mentorship (IHOM).

With over 20 years of clinical experience in Internal Medicine, Dr. Gaur’s work addresses a fundamental limitation of modern healthcare: chronic diseases are managed, but the biological terrain that creates them remains uncorrected.

His clinical approach focuses on restoring metabolic balance, mitochondrial efficiency, microvascular health, and inflammatory control—the core drivers of resilience, recovery, and healthy ageing. He works extensively with individuals facing metabolic disorders, cardiovascular dysfunction, degenerative conditions, cancer recovery, and accelerated biological ageing.

Beyond patient care, Dr. Gaur plays a pivotal role in mentoring doctors and healthcare professionals through IHOM. His mentorship helps clinicians develop systems-based clinical thinking, apply health optimisation principles with scientific rigor, and build ethical, value-driven practices that deliver meaningful patient outcomes without burnout.

He is also the bestselling author of “The Power of Living Younger”, translating complex metabolic science into practical strategies for sustained energy, longevity, and performance.

Dr. Gaur’s guiding belief is simple and uncompromising:

“Undo disease by correcting the biological terrain—and restore optimal health as the body’s natural default state.”

Our Philosophy

At IHOM, we believe that true healthcare transformation does not come from adding more tools, tests, or prescriptions — It comes from deep understanding.

Modern medicine has mastered disease identification and acute care.
What it has not fully integrated is how health is created, restored, and sustained.

Health Optimisation is not an alternative to medicine.
It is the missing science of “how the body actually heals”—through metabolism, mitochondria, inflammation control, lifestyle regulation, and behavioural change.

Our philosophy is simple:

It is not the tool that creates outcomes.
It is the mind, understanding, and framework of the professional holding it.

The Story Behind IHOM (Why It Was Born)

IHOM was born out of personal frustration, professional honesty, and relentless searching.

As a physician trained in modern medicine, I went through the same pain you may be experiencing today:

  • Patients not getting better despite “best possible treatment”
  • Chronic diseases being managed, not reversed
  • Repeated follow-ups with minimal real improvement
  • A growing feeling of professional incompleteness


I did what most sincere doctors do—I searched.

I attended and explored numerous national and international programs, including advanced training in:

  • Functional Medicine (A4M, IFM)
  • Integrative and lifestyle-based approaches
  • Multiple high-cost certification programs


I invested heavily—time, money, and energy.

Yet, even after all this, something remained incomplete.

What I observed disturbed me:

The entire model became tool-centric.

But health is not created by tools.
Health is created by understanding mechanisms.

And unless a doctor understands why something works,
they remain dependent—on protocols, brands, and systems.

That is when clarity emerged.

Why IHOM Exists

I realised something critical:

Doctors and medical professionals do not lack intelligence.
They lack exposure to the science that was never part of their curriculum.

Topics like:

  • Mitochondrial dysfunction
  • Metabolic flexibility
  • Circadian biology
  • Epigenetics
  • Microbiome dynamics
  • Chronic inflammation
  • Lifestyle-driven cellular signalling


…were either
never taught, or taught in fragments, without practical application.

At the same time, expecting young or mid-career doctors to:

  • Spend lakhs upfront on international programs
  • Pause their earning potential
  • Become dependent on product-based ecosystems


…was neither realistic nor ethical.

IHOM was designed with a different intention:

Our Core Values

Mechanism Over Tools

We teach why things work, not just what to use.

Accessibility Without Compromise

High-quality education should not be limited to those who can pay upfront lakhs.

Ethical Earning

Doctors deserve to earn well—without guilt, manipulation, or product dependency.

Transformation Over Transactions

We focus on long-term patient outcomes, not short consultations.

Mentorship Over Information

Guidance, accountability, and support matter more than content alone.

Community Building

We cultivate a guided ecosystem of clinicians who learn, question deeply, and elevate standards of care through rigorous shared clinical reasoning.

What Makes IHOM Different?

IHOM is not just a course.
It is a mentorship ecosystem.

We train you to:

  • Understand the science deeply
  • Apply it simply through lifestyle-based frameworks
  • Package it into high-value transformation programs
  • Earn more while working with fewer, committed clients.
 

And most importantly—
We stay with you until you succeed.

A Final Note to You

If you are a doctor or medical professional who feels:

  • Stuck in routine practice
  • Under-rewarded for your effort
  • Frustrated with chronic disease outcomes
  • Curious but cautious about “new approaches”

IHOM was created for you.

Not to replace who you are—
but to help you become the physician you always wanted to be.

What Our Students Say

Getting an accurate diagnosis can be one of the most impactful experiences that you can have.

“I Stopped Feeling Like a Senior Doctor Stuck in a Junior Role” “After 20 years in medicine, I realised my role had become repetitive and undervalued. This program didn’t just teach concepts—it repositioned me. I moved from routine consulting to leading transformation programs. Within weeks, patients started seeing me differently—and paying accordingly. My confidence and income both changed.”

    Dr. Ruchi Sharma

    MD – Internal Medicine

    “I Finally Escaped the Time-for-Money Trap” “Earlier, after 3 attempts I felt devalued. Today, I am measured by outcomes. This program gave me clarity, structure, and a new professional identity. I now run an online optimisation practice that gives me income, flexibility, and relevance.”

      Dr. Deepak Menon

      FMGE aspirant

      “Dentistry Became a Choice, Not a Compulsion” “Establishing myself in conventional dentistry demanded heavy financial investment, low returns, and offered little recognition or professional identity. Transitioning into a health-optimising practitioner changed everything—financially sustainable, professionally fulfilling, and deeply rewarding, with a clear identity and a growing queue of satisfied patients.”

        Dr. Priya S.

        BDS

        “From Therapist to Transformation Leader” “I stopped selling sessions and started leading programs. That single shift changed my income, authority, and how clients engage with me.”

          Dr. Manish Rao

          Physiotherapist

          “Clients No Longer Question My Fees” “Earlier I justified diet plans. Now I lead transformation journeys. The difference is not pricing—it’s positioning.”
