Get to know Naturopathic Physician Dr. Pranav Lad, who serves patients in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

A trusted naturopathic physician, Dr. Lad is the Owner of Healing Arts of Veda in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Born in India and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, his upbringing was steeped in the rich heritage of Ayurveda, thanks to the influence of his father, Dr. Vasant Lad. From a young age, he imbibed the essence of the Vedic culture and imprinted within himself the principles of balanced living through proper diet and lifestyle choices. His father’s practice in India, where he seamlessly integrated Ayurveda with contemporary medicine, served as a guiding light, instilling in him a profound appreciation for the holistic approach to healthcare.

Choosing to heed his father’s wisdom, Dr. Lad embarked on a journey that would see him traverse the realms of both modern and traditional medicine. Armed with a medical degree from the Medical University of the Americas, he initially ventured into academic medicine, where he played a pivotal role in shaping the future of medical practitioners by aiding them in navigating the complexities of board exams.

However, Dr. Lad’s true calling beckoned him towards the integration of various healing modalities. Embracing this calling wholeheartedly, he pursued further education in naturopathic medicine at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, seeking to expand his repertoire of therapeutic tools. His endeavors culminated in the establishment of his practice, the Healing Arts of Veda, where he endeavors to synergize the diverse strands of medical knowledge acquired from his father and the various institutions he attended.

His dedication to bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science is exemplified not only through his clinical practice but also through his role as an educator. For five years, he lent his expertise to his father’s Ayurvedic school, imparting invaluable lessons in subjects ranging from Pathophysiology to Sanskrit, while concurrently imbibing the timeless teachings of Ayurveda through intimate conversations with his father.

In launching his own practice, Dr. Lad seeks to honor his heritage while embracing the evolving landscape of healthcare. Through the Healing Arts of Veda, he endeavors to disseminate the knowledge and skills acquired over years of study and practice, thereby enriching the lives of his patients and perpetuating the legacy of holistic healing. 

The practice of naturopathic medicine includes modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods. Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care profession, emphasizing prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of therapeutic methods and substances that encourage individuals’ inherent self-healing process. Naturopathic physicians manage and seek to prevent acute and chronic illnesses to restore and establish optimal health.
