About
Dr. Shikha Joshi is a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine, and Obesity Medicine.

After residency, she built her early career as a hospitalist, managing medically complex patients across a range of acute conditions.
That hospital work shaped her clinical philosophy. She observed that most patients she cared for had conditions preventable through lifestyle changes and better primary care access. That insight led her to pursue additional training in Lifestyle Medicine and Obesity Medicine, and ultimately to found Bloom Direct Primary Care. Dr. Joshi holds a Diplomate designation from both the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the American Board of Obesity Medicine. She grounds every clinical decision in scientific research and professional guidelines. Her comprehensive weight management program combines evidence-based lifestyle changes with medication when clinically indicated.
