Endocrinologist — Metabolic & Hormone Health ALIV Regenerative Wellness | Pune / Mumbai

About the role
Most of what walks into ALIV is endocrine at the root. The founder who has plateaued at 92kg despite doing everything right. The CEO whose Mounjaro stopped working at month seven. The 48-year-old whose energy fell off a cliff and whose thyroid panel came back “normal.” The woman with PCOS who has been told to lose weight by three doctors without one of them explaining how. These are not people in disease management. They are high-functioning, well-resourced, and usually have a drawer full of normal-range reports. They need someone who reads metabolic and hormonal data at a level most OPDs don’t have time for, and who can design a path forward rather than reassure and discharge. That’s this role. You’ll own the endocrine and metabolic layer of ALIV’s clinical practice — diagnostics, interpretation, protocol design, and the long arc of monitoring that actually produces change. Reporting & team
• Reports to: Medical Director (Dr. Rajesh Tandulwadkar)
• Works alongside: Dr. Sunita Tandulwadkar (reproductive endocrine and women’s health overlap), functional medicine and regenerative physicians, nursing team, nutrition and client relations
• Cross-functional: Operations, research Core responsibilities1. Metabolic and weight management
• Lead the clinical layer of ALIV’s fat loss protocols — the largest service line, and the one most often endocrine at root
• Manage GLP-1 and dual-agonist therapy end to end: initiation, titration, plateau management, side-effect handling, and the harder question of what happens when it stops working
• Work up metabolic dysfunction properly: insulin resistance, HOMA-IR, fasting insulin, metabolic syndrome, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes
• Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease — a standing ALIV vertical with a clear endocrine driver
• Preserve muscle and metabolic rate through a deficit; prevent the rebound that brings most clients back 2. Thyroid and adrenal
• Full thyroid assessment and management, including the clients whose panels sit inside the reference range but whose physiology clearly doesn’t
• Autoimmune thyroid disease, subclinical hypothyroidism, and the judgment of when to treat and when not to
• Adrenal and cortisol-axis assessment,



including rhythm rather than single points
• Distinguish genuine endocrine pathology from the physiology of chronic stress — and say so plainly in either direction 3. Hormone optimisation
• Male and female hormone assessment and management across the midlife transition
• Testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, DHEA-S, SHBG, free fractions — interpreted in context, not in isolation
• PCOS and reproductive-endocrine work, in collaboration with Dr. Sunita
• Perimenopause and menopause management, including the risk–benefit conversation clients rarely get honestly
• Bone health and body composition as downstream markers 4. Energy, fatigue and performance
• Work up the high-functioning client whose energy has dropped and whose standard panels are unremarkable
• Thyroid, adrenal, gonadal, mitochondrial and nutrient contributors assessed as a system rather than a checklist
• Sleep, circadian alignment and recovery as endocrine inputs, not lifestyle advice 5. Protocol design and the regenerative interface
• Build the endocrine layer of integrative protocols spanning nutrition, supplementation, movement, sleep, stress and targeted therapeutics
• Advise on where IV therapies, peptides and targeted supplementation fit — and, importantly, where they don’t
• Screen every protocol for endocrine contraindications and interactions before it goes to the client
• Set re-test intervals and read trajectory over time rather than single snapshots 6. Clinical safety and compliance
• Enforce ALIV’s compliance posture: no cure claims, no guaranteed outcomes, no diagnose/treat/cure/prevent language
• Refer to standard-of-care management without hesitation when that’s what the client needs
• Maintain accurate documentation per Indian medical regulation
• Prescribe within approved indications; where something is used off-label, the client understands that clearly and in writing 7. Client experience




• Deliver unhurried consultations — closer to a private medical office than an OPD
• Explain endocrine physiology to intelligent, time-poor non-clinicians without dumbing it down or burying them
• Hold the long relationship. Metabolic and hormonal change is measured in quarters, and clients stay for the physician Required qualifications
• MBBS + MD (General Medicine) + DM (Endocrinology) or DNB (Endocrinology)
• Active NMC / State Medical Council registration in India
• 3–5 years post-super-speciality clinical experience
• Robust command of obesity and metabolic medicine, including current GLP-1 and dual-agonist therapeutics
• Confident interpretation of advanced metabolic, thyroid and hormone panels beyond reference-range reading Preferred qualifications
• Significant obesity medicine or bariatric practice experience
• Experience in private, corporate or executive health settings — a different consultation rhythm than government or teaching hospitals
• Interest or training in functional, integrative or longevity medicine
• Familiarity with peptide therapeutics and their endocrine implications
• Experience with continuous glucose monitoring in non-diabetic optimisation
• Published, taught or presented in endocrinology or metabolic health Who this role is forMindset more than CV. This matters as much as the credential:
• You see “within normal limits” as a population statement, not an individual verdict — and you can defend that position with evidence rather than intuition
• You hold a high evidentiary bar in a field full of overreach. You know what the data supports, what it doesn’t yet, and you say which is which
• You’re comfortable telling a well-paying client that their problem is sleep and alcohol, not their thyroid. ALIV would rather lose the sale than sell the wrong protocol
• You’re rigorous about where endocrinology ends. You refer early and cleanly, and you treat that as doing the job right
• You read papers and update your position. This field moves fast and most of what moves is marketing
• You’re collaborative with the clinical leads, the founder, and the wider team — no territoriality
• You’re allergic to hype. You don’t oversell, you don’t underdeliver, and no client leaves with an expectation you can’t stand behind
