Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Cathy Chapalamadugu.
Hi Dr. Cathy, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I have been practicing traditional medicine since 2008, but my passion for aesthetics and wellness began during the COVID pandemic. At the time, I had to step back from working full-time in urgent care to focus on being a full-time mom. I am passionate about learning and missed practicing medicine, so I looked for a new challenge, and I realized that helping people feel better could start with helping them look better. I pursued aesthetic and injector training, earned multiple certifications, attempted two start-up businesses, and dove deeply into the world of wellness, supplements, regenerative medicine, women’s health, and holistic therapies that go beyond conventional care.
After establishing two meaningful business connections and enduring two natural disasters, I reflected upon my personal and professional wants and needs. I took a new approach and decided to rebrand.
Today, I bring together everything I love: practicing traditional medicine in urgent care and medical aesthetics in a medspa; informing people about pro-aging wellness and skin care; and spending time with my amazing family.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
New to the business/start-up/social media world in a competitive market going solo with no prior experience at the age of 48 (I’m now 50).
Brand identity that represents me and the integrating my passions of traditional medicine with medical aesthetics and wellness.
Overcoming the introverted aspect of my personality and putting myself out there! I can say that now I will approach and speak to anyone with confidence.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about ProAging Science?
How do you want to look, feel, and age?
What is Pro-Aging?
Pro-aging, the buzzword for anti-aging, is a new approach that redefines our obsession with defying age. Why attach a negative connotation to something that we all experience? Embrace the natural process of growing older with grace and positivity.
Pro-aging emphasizes self-acceptance, holistic health, and celebrating the wisdom, experiences, and beauty that come with age. This philosophy encourages people to prioritize well-being through healthy lifestyles, skincare, and medical aesthetics. By shifting the narrative, pro-aging promotes aging as an opportunity for personal growth, fostering confidence and natural beauty at every stage of life.
Why Science?
Science is a systematic approach that seeks to explain how things work. I have always been interested in the reasons behind things and seek to find answers to questions such as – who discovered Botox, what is the mechanism of action behind retinol, how do supplements like NAD+ slow down aging?
Through this scientific knowledge and my clinical experience, evidence-based practices, and continued medical education, I use science’s systematic approach to understand how we can age gracefully and improve quality of life with an enhanced appearance!
Be proactive about your pro-aging journey and look forward to your future face first.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
Networking and making community connections puts you in contact with people that inspire, promote, and potentially partner with you.
Being in the right place at the right time.
