About Me

My name is Dr. Natasha Punia. At 18 years old, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, an inflammatory, autoimmune disease that thrust me into a lonely world of medical uncertainty and treatments, including a rigorous two-year regimen of self-injected chemotherapy.

Today, as the rates of chronic inflammation and conditions continue to rise, my mission extends beyond my own challenges. InflamMed is here to foster a sense of community, resilience, and understanding, so that no one has to face these challenges alone.
