Pinnacle Conference 2025 Speaker
Endocrinologist, Healthcare Entrepreneur, Patient-centered Care Advocate
Dr. Arti Thangudu is a distinguished, triple board-certified physician specializing in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism. As a passionate advocate for patient-centered care, she emphasizes building strong doctor-patient relationships and integrating medical expertise with lifestyle optimization. Her practice focuses on treating patients with obesity, diabetes, thyroid disorders, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other metabolic and hormonal conditions.
Dr. Thangudu's dedication to enhancing care and outcomes in endocrinology led her to establish two healthcare companies. Complete Medicine, her first venture, is a direct specialty care clinic in endocrinology that serves patients looking for in depth relationship-based expert care with clear pricing - no surprise bills.
She later founded HeyHealthy, an outcomes-driven company that helps self-insured businesses reduce healthcare costs and improve employee health by providing accessible and supportive diabetes and hormonal care. HeyHealthy's services help employees stay healthy, avoid hospitalizations, and maintain high energy and productivity.
She holds a bachelor's degree in Journalism from Northwestern University and an MD from UT Health Science Center in San Antonio. Dr. Thangudu completed her Internal Medicine internship at Baylor College of Medicine, residency at Tulane University School of Medicine, and fellowship in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. She is board-certified in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, and Lifestyle Medicine—a field dedicated to optimizing health through nutrition, exercise, stress management, emotional well-being, sleep, and eliminating unhealthy habits.
Prior to her entrepreneurial ventures, Dr. Thangudu gained extensive experience at one of the nation’s busiest endocrinology practices. In addition to her clinical work, she has built a robust community on social media, dedicated to educating and supporting women with diabetes and hormonal conditions. Through her platforms, she also offers valuable insights into navigating the healthcare system. Dr. Thangudu is married to an ICU physician and is a proud mother to an eight-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son.
