Who is Dr. Chanu Dasari?

Dr. Chanu Dasari is a board-certified surgeon, gut health specialist, and founder of the MindGut Immunity Clinic. After facing four autoimmune conditions at age 19, he began studying the link between gut health, inflammation, nutrition, and immune function. His personal recovery later shaped his work as a physician and colorectal surgeon.

Through his clinic, Dr. Dasari helps people with autoimmune disease, digestive problems, and chronic inflammation using an evidence-based, highly personalized approach. His program focuses on nutrition, fiber, probiotics, sleep, stress, exercise, and daily symptom tracking. He is known for working closely with patients, reviewing their progress often, and helping them explore options that may reduce their reliance on medication or surgery.
