Board-certified in Internal Medicine and in Lifestyle Medicine. Founder of Kushala Health.
Dr. Sowmya Josyula is a physician trained in the United States and practicing chronic disease care for patients across India. She is board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (2019) and the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine (2024), and holds a Master of Public Health from New York University.
She previously served as Site Residency Director at Maimonides Medical Center in New York, where she trained internal medicine residents, and she continues to teach through Kushala Med Ed, a clinical education platform for physicians and residents.
Chronic disease is not an event. It is a relationship that lasts decades, and the Indian health system is built almost entirely around events: the consultation, the test, the prescription, the discharge. Between those events, where the actual disease lives, there is nobody.
Dr. Sowmya founded Kushala Health to practise the other way round. Every patient gets a physician who holds their case over time and a care coach who calls every week. Progress is measured in HbA1c, blood pressure, weight and medicine count, not in app engagement. Treatment plans are built for Indian kitchens and Indian households, because a plan that asks a family to abandon how it eats is a plan that will be abandoned first.
Consultations in English, Telugu and Hindi.
