Reboot with Dr. Arasi Maran

Welcome to Reboot with Dr. Arasi Maran. I am a board-certified cardiologist and interventional cardiologist with more than 10 years of experience. I deal with the most aggressive coronary artery disease in the cath lab. Outside the cath lab, I am a mom of three kids, and my husband is an obesity medicine certified bariatric surgeon. We both deal with various aspects of metabolic disease in different ways. It's my life mission to help those with metabolic disease in and out of the hospital. With my own personal and professional experience, I believe education is the best way to treat and prevent metabolic diseases. Whichever stage of metabolic disease one is in, you can turn back the clock. Join me in the journey to reboot our lives for the better!
