Dr. Mathur practiced primary care for several years before deciding to transition her career to weight loss medicine. As a primary care provider (PCP), the majority of Dr. Mathur’s patients struggled with their weight, but she felt unable to help them due to rushed encounters that were focused on sick care instead of health care. Out of this frustration was born Lifelong Weight Loss in 2017, Dr. Mathur’s medical practice that is dedicated solely to weight loss medicine. Since then, Dr. Mathur has helped thousands of patients live a healthier life, and she has the privilege of providing nutrition consultation services to the Houston Rockets. She has been featured in leading publications including The Wall Street Journal and The Houston Chronicle.
