HOUSTON, TX, August 12, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Siva Gandu, MD, has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Gandu's professional journey reflects a commitment to both clinical excellence and entrepreneurial innovation. Since 2026, he has served as managing director of ReJIVAnate LLC, a company he co-founded to develop a software-as-a-solution precision wellness application. This platform integrates biomarker panels, questionnaire data, and an artificial intelligence model layered atop a proprietary rule engine developed by Dr. Gandu and his physician partners. The product, JIVA, aims to improve an individual's preventative health, quality of life, and promote longevity.

JIVA is designed to provide personalized recommendations in nutrition, exercise, supplementation, yoga and breathwork, with an initial rollout planned for Latin America, followed by expansion into Central America, South America, East Africa and India. Dr. Gandu's leadership at ReJIVAnate LLC is informed by his vision of complementing primary care through technology-driven, holistic health solutions.

In 2024, Dr. Gandu assumed the role of chief executive officer at JGN Biotech, a physician-owned nutraceutical and supplement company. Alongside four other physician co-founders, he oversees multiple business verticals and leads the launch of the company's first product line — mushnoom, a functional mushroom supplement — with additional offerings in the pipeline. JGN Biotech maintains its own intellectual property while collaborating with third-party manufacturers. Dr. Gandu was drawn to this sector by the potential benefits of natural products and his desire to bring greater credibility and oversight to an industry often overlooked in conventional medicine.

Additionally, since 2023, Dr. Gandu has owned JGN Clinical LLC, further broadening his impact within healthcare entrepreneurship. His clinical practice remains central to his identity; since 2023, he has worked as a hospitalist at UNC Health Nash, providing inpatient care as an internal medicine specialist and also managing critically ill patients in intensive care unit settings. He is known for building patient trust during hospital stays and for integrating holistic health principles into his practice by emphasizing patient education on nutrition and lifestyle modifications to reduce hospital readmissions. He has worked across multiple health care systems including Cape Fear Valley Health and Novant Health, contributing to patient care in diverse clinical environments.

Dr. Gandu's earlier experience includes three years as a medical doctor at LSU Health Shreveport from 2020 to 2024. During this period, he was selected among 120 residents to serve as ambulatory clinic chief for the residency program at LSU Health Sciences Center in Louisiana, overseeing outpatient clinical medicine for the program's residents. He also participated in an internal initiative within the University of North Carolina Hospital System at UNC Nash focused on implementing a community paramedic program aimed at heart failure management.

Among his professional affiliations, Dr. Gandu is an active member of the American Medical Association and the American Board of Internal Medicine. He received the SCOPY Award from the American College of Gastroenterology in 2023 for leading a community outreach program that partnered with barbershops to promote colon cancer screening among high-risk populations. This initiative trained barbershop staff to discuss colon cancer risk with clients and helped normalize conversations around screening in communities where stigma had previously limited participation.

Dr. Gandu's academic foundation includes completion of a residency in internal medicine at LSU Health Shreveport in Louisiana in 2023. He earned a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from MS Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences in Bangalore, India, in 2020. He is board-certified in internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine as of 2023.

Reflecting on his career, Dr. Gandu credits his success to hard work, dedication, faith, integrity, and perseverance, values instilled by his parents that he hopes to pass on to his own children. He emphasizes open-mindedness and humility as guiding principles throughout his career and personal life. From childhood, he gravitated toward medicine out of a fascination with human physiology, seeking to understand it through creative thinking.

Dr. Gandu's time in medical school revealed a calling beyond individual patient care: the drive to make broader population-level impacts through entrepreneurship emerged during these formative years. This entrepreneurial spirit continues to shape his ambitions as he seeks not only to improve healthcare delivery but also envisions future ventures expanding into sustainable agriculture and healthier food systems — areas he believes are critical for reversing trends in modern illness.

Civic engagement has long been integral to Dr. Gandu's life. He volunteers through his organization by setting up medical screenings for diabetes and hypertension at churches and community events across rural North Carolina. His commitment to service began early with involvement in Meals on Wheels America and regular weekend volunteering at The Salvation Army — experiences that reinforced his belief in connecting with people beyond traditional healthcare settings.

Born in Chennai, Dr. Gandu enjoys playing basketball, golf, and tennis as well as cooking, noting that if he were ever to pursue another career path, it would likely involve applying his medical knowledge within culinary science. Looking ahead, he is transitioning out of hospital-based medicine to establish his own concierge medicine private practice in Houston — a city that has always felt like home — where he aims to continue building on his legacy of impactful entrepreneurship while advancing holistic health solutions for individuals and communities alike.
