Sakshi Malpath works at the intersection of culture, medicine, and the body. An alumna of IIT Madras with a background in the humanities and social sciences, her curiosity lies in how ideas move beyond the walls of academia and make meaning in everyday life. Her work is guided by questions of sense, memory, and the textures of lived experience.

Alongside her Functional Medicine practice, she is pursuing research in Medical Anthropology and Sociology at the University of Amsterdam, exploring embodiment, the senses, and the future of health. In quieter hours, she gathers material for a long-form writing project tracing Gor-Banjara history—a close, personal inquiry into lineage and memory. Her days often fold into reading, baking, and playing the drums.

Sakshi’s work bridges social science research and functional medicine practice. With experience in curation, archival, and editorial work across museums, galleries, and publishing houses, she has long been drawn to how stories are preserved, interpreted, and retold. Before moving into Functional Medicine, she worked in archaeological research, studying histories of culture, knowledge, and material life.

As a practitioner, her focus lies in lifestyle medicine, the de-medicalization of human experience, and chronic illness reversal through metabolic and cellular health. Her current research explores sensory anthropology, with a particular interest in how the future of health might be imagined through embodied knowledge, cultural practice, and the ordinary rituals of everyday life—returning to things undeniably human.
