Dhruva Gulur, MD

Dhruva Gulur, M.D., is a board-certified family medicine physician with over 27 years of clinical experience. His work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, trauma-informed growth, and spiritual freedom. He affectionately goes by dhruvaMD

After navigating profound personal loss, Dhruva immersed himself in evidence-based therapeutic modalities;including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Drawing from this training and his lived experience, he developed Mind Hygiene®—a practical, neuroscience-informed framework for transforming resentment in high-stress, high-stakes environments.

Mind Hygiene® is now supported by a retrospective study demonstrating its impact.

Beyond medicine, Dhruva is a keynote speaker and performing artist, integrating rap and spoken word under the name Sublime Shine to make complex inner work visceral, memorable, and deeply human. He has served underserved populations globally, worked in correctional facilities, and consistently operates in settings where emotional resilience is not theoretical but necessary. His work is not about burnout narratives or generic wellness; it is about building minds that can carry weight, endure discomfort, and still choose purpose.
