MD Physician — Functional & Longevity Medicine ALIV Regenerative Wellness | Pune / Mumbai

About the role Conventional medicine is built to catch disease once it has arrived. It is very good at that. What it isn't built for is the decade before — the drift, the compensation, the "everything's normal" bloodwork on a founder who knows something is off.
That decade is where ALIV works.
We're hiring an MD trained or self-trained in functional and longevity medicine to own the diagnostic and root-cause layer of our clinical practice. You'll take a client's full picture — advanced bloodwork, hormones, gut, inflammation, genetics, sleep, stress, nutrition, exposure, history, lived context — and build the systems-level understanding that everything else follows from. Where the regenerative interventions (IV, peptide, ACT, PRP) fit, you'll design that pathway alongside our clinical team. Where lifestyle, nutrition, or referral is the honest answer, you'll say so.
We are not standard-of-care medicine. We sit alongside it. The right physician sees proactive optimisation as legitimate clinical work, holds a high evidentiary bar, and is comfortable saying "the evidence is emerging — here's what we know, here's what we don't."

Who this role is for Mindset more than CV. We've found this matters more than any one credential:
You believe "normal" is a population average, not an individual target — and you can explain the difference to a sceptical CEO in two minutes
You hold a high evidentiary bar in an industry that mostly doesn't. You know the difference between animal-model data, an underpowered human trial, and a mechanism that sounds plausible — and you say which is which
You're equally comfortable saying "here's what the evidence supports," "we don't know yet," and "no — that's the wrong protocol for you"
You're a systems thinker. You see the connection between the sleep debt, the cortisol curve, the gut panel, and the lipid
