Rachna Rekhi, pediatrician

Dr. Rachna Rekhi is a board certified pediatrician and lifestyle medicine physician. Prior to attending medical school she earned a degree in Food Science and Human Nutrition from the University of Florida. After university, she worked as a researcher in the Cardiology Department at Stanford University. She had aspirations of becoming a cardiologist until she attended medical school at McGill University in Montreal, Canada and had a revelation that many adult diseases begin in childhood. After that she focused her energy on becoming a pediatrician in hopes of influencing families to adopt healthier habits at a young age. She has worked at Kaiser Permanente, a large healthcare system, for 13 years. During this time she recognized that children are capable of making great choices about their health if they have the proper knowledge, and they need to be a part of the conversation about their health. She believes that children have the power to influence the adults in their life to be healthier. She co-hosts a podcast called Wellness Wizards with her 9 year old son and 11 year old daughter, where they discuss, simplify, and gamify lifestyle medicine topics including primarily plant based nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, reduction of risky substances, social connectedness, and stress reduction. She loves traveling and cooking healthy food with her children. Last year the family took a year off and traveled to 19 countries together, and since then they have made it a goal to travel to all 7 continents together.
