Arun suffered from chronic back pain that rendered him nearly immobile for years. Doctors told him he wouldn't get better unless through surgery. Through a self-guided process of rewiring brain-body pathways, he was able to recover within a few weeks.He's since founded Menda Health, a virtual specialty clinic for treating chronic pain. Menda offers insurance-covered pain therapy, with 3x better outcomes than usual care alone. The company partners with large health systems at no cost to improve outcomes and reduce opioid risk for this population.Healing begins with a connection to self and others. In his free time, he plays music in a band, spends time outdoors, and meditates daily.
