Bio
Dr.Kulkarni established Core Integrative & Naturopathic Medical Center (CINMC) in 2016 after gaining experience as the Director of Functional Medicine at a multidisciplinary clinic. Since then she has been building her own team of experts that also share her deep passion for treating the “whole patient”. This approach of not treating just the symptoms but creating sustainable, effective solutions has resulted in many success stories at her practice.
Her unique approach came into the spotlight when one of her patients wrote a book called Walking with Peety, about his weight loss transformation. This patient centered approach evolved into the CORE Strategy ™ that is central to her practice. She has also been featured in the book, Mutual Rescue by Carol Novello and on multiple health podcasts. Dr.Kulkarni has been invited as a speaker at the International Conference for Nutrition in Medicine, multiple national conferences and at wellness events hosted by various Silicon Valley companies, including Google.
In addition to her practice, Dr. Kulkarni conducts webinars as part of the clinical education team at Biocidin Botanicals. She completed her medical training at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and has been practicing in the Bay Area for over 15 years. She is one of the Directors on the Board for the Institute for Natural Medicine and is an active member of the California Naturopathic Doctors Association and American Association of Naturopathic Physicians.
