Dr. Shagun Bindlish’s story is rooted in legacy and lifted by vision. Inspired by her mother—a devoted teacher who empowered countless lives—she has dedicated her own journey to uplifting women, advancing health, and leading with compassion. A board-certified physician trained across three continents, she blends science with service, carrying her mother’s spirit of empowerment into every space she enters.

A recognized leader in diabetes and metabolic health, Dr. Bindlish serves on the Board of the American Diabetes Association while partnering with global nonprofits to bring education and care to underserved communities. With a passion for spreading knowledge, she founded the Golden State Obesity Society, a nonprofit dedicated to education, advocacy, and innovation in the fight against obesity. Through this society, she envisions leading and inspiring youth leaders to raise awareness about disease prevention, instilling in the next generation the values of health, service, and community impact.

Dr. Bindlish is also a prolific writer, contributing to esteemed medical journals and authoring multiple blogs that bridge clinical knowledge with practical wellness guidance. Her work empowers readers globally, translating complex medical insights into actionable advice for everyday life.

With a love for travel and culture, she created Prescription Passport—a storytelling platform where medicine meets humanity, and healing is expressed through the shared experiences of people around the world. For Dr. Bindlish, health is holistic: “A patient is more than a diagnosis. Health isn’t just about numbers—it’s about how we live, love, move, and feel.”

Her passion and commitment to patient care have earned her a nomination for the Compassionate Physician Award by the California Medical Association, recognizing her dedication to empathy-driven medicine.

Through her work, she reminds us that true empowerment lies not in recognition, but in the lives we touch, the knowledge we share, and the dreams we help others embrace.
