regenerative medicine

An incredibly fast-growing field of interventional orthopedics, regenerative medicine focuses on treatments that can stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms to help heal from injuries, pain, and chronic degenerative health conditions like osteoarthritis.

naturopathIC MEDICINE

A distinct system of medicine that emphasizes prevention, natural and low-force interventions and treatment, and optimizing health through the use of therapeutic methods and substances that encourage an individuals’ inherent self-healing process. The practice of naturopathic medicine includes modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods.

ayurvedic medicine

Ayurveda, or the “Science of life” is widely considered the oldest healing science in the world. Ayurvedic medicine places a huge emphasis on prevention, using knowledge about an individual’s unique energetic make up (based on a 5 elements philosophy) to guide their diet,
lifestyle, way of life, herbal medicine choices.

Dr. Bhandari grew up in Calgary, Alberta as a multi-sport athlete, competing in soccer, track and field, and martial arts. During his high school years, he competed nationally in open martial arts tournaments, and was a 3-time running national champion in his style of Kung-Fu. Due to his long list of injuries, he slowly transitioned from competing to coaching. As a young athlete and a coach, Dr. Bhandari learned to emphasize a holistic approach that not only optimized physical function, but also mental and emotional aptitude. He was extremely passionate about diet and lifestyle and how these played a role in overall health and, specifically, sports performance. His passion for sports medicine also began early, taking his first sports medicine class at the age of 13!

Whether you are struggling with pain, metabolism issues, digestive troubles, or environmental toxicity, you can work with Dr. Bhandari to find a treatment plan that will work for you.

ALWAYS ASK YOURSELF

"WHAT NEEDS TO BE HEALED?"

This is what ultimately leads us to addressing the root cause of illness. Whether it’s pain, metabolic imbalance, digestive disorders, or something else, the approach must always take into account two things: the root cause and the individual. Each patient is unique; therefore
the diet, lifestyle, and treatment plan must also reflect that.”

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING..

I want to thank Dr. Bhandari for coaching me back to health/strength last year as I was struggling with frozen shoulder, knee issues, and lower back pain. I'm currently free of back pain, jogging multiple times a week, and am even able to kayak and paddleboard this summer! I often think of the gift of you training me to know how to stretch and strengthen my body. It was/is SO empowering!! FYI: I started developing frozen shoulder in my OTHER shoulder but I'm keeping it from progressing by stretching and strengthening in the ways Dr. Bhandari and Dr. K taught me. I'm SO grateful to be able to self-manage my health needs and build strength on my own at home. It's really turned my life around and given me a sense of self-agency with my health again. Thank you Dr. Bhandari for being an empowering, excellent, knowledgeable practitioner who truly cares about his patients!

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING..

"It was overall an amazing experience, I learned definitely a lot about the physiology, the mental health aspect, how exercise affects our entire body overall, and how to implement them in a clinical setting. He's very helpful in terms of how he has applied his clinical experience beforehand and how he actually integrates with naturopathic medicine and ayurvedic program. Yes, I would recommend this seminar to others, the top reasons for that is because it does bring a lot more specificity to exercises in terms of when to prescribe them, how to prescribe them, instead of the generic 150 minutes, 3 - 5 times a week for 30 minutes. This course really gives you an idea of what type of exercises to prescribe, how to prescribe them, and how to really take the patient into consideration when doing so. I'd recommend this seminar to anyone who is interested in exercise science. I'd recommend to all naturopathic physicians since exercise is used to simulate the beast. And it is a foundation of health that pretty much anyone can benefit from."

"My overall experience was flat out excellent. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is even slightly interested in exercise or for anyone who is just seeing those bullet points on those slides in class that say "Exercise", and that's it. This class offers you a lot more inside that bullet point - two straight days explaining that bullet point. I'd recommend this to any student or doctor who plans on using exercise with all of their patients."

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING..

"Overall the seminar was excellent. I've never had two days go by faster with a course in the last four years at my academics here at Bastyr. It was truly a pleasure. I would definitely recommend it to others. I feel like our education here with the Naturopathic medicine - we do a great job of talking about determinants of health and getting a basis to describe exercises to our patients with current guidelines. However, I think what's lacking is being able to individualize that treatment to each person and also to address particular pathologies that this course addresses in a way that I haven't seen before. I would recommend this to any health professional - ND, MD, DO, anyone who is seeing patients in a preventative manner should be familiar with this information."

Seminar/Course Testimonial

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING..

I saw Dr. Bhandari after suffering a major motor vehicle accident, with many neurological symptoms. Being a medical student and not being able to attend lecture, recall lecture material or have the stamina to study was a very debilitating process. Dr. Bhandari provided me with the tools of brain health, and motivated me to trust the process, that my body would heal with time via Naturopathic medicine. I went from not being able to drive, to becoming a teaching assistant in Neurology and helping students prepare for medical board examinations. Dr. Bhandari’s approach and support is something I will forever be greatful for. He literally brought me back to life.

"This course was well worth the time and money spent. It should be a part of the curriculum for every ND student. I will be a more effective and competent practitioner from what I've learned. My patients will benefit most!"

Course/Seminar Testimonial

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING..

“Dr. Bhandari is my go-to colleague for a second opinion or considerations for my chronic pain or athletic performance cases. He is thorough in his assessments and has detailed guidance for individualized care. He brings passion to each case and I deeply trust him and his approach.”

Colleague Testimonial

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING..

"My overall experience was really great. I'm really grateful for the sort of tying everything together, we've been learning in classes in a way that is practical and feels very relevant to patients and makes me feel capable of helping people. Would you recommend this seminar to others and what are your top reasons to recommend this seminar? I would definitely recommend this seminar to others, both my classmates and practicing doctors. I feel like it a really useful way to get a broader perspective on how you can help patients learn to help themselves with exercise and also practical ideas of how to approach conditions from a way that is holistic and looks to treat the cause And also broadens certain tools beyond what we've learned in our physical curriculum at Bastyr. I would recommend this to my classmates and practicing doctors and anyone who is working with humans."
