Niraj Naik

From Pharmacist to Holistic Health Expert

Niraj Naik, an ex-pharmacist turned holistic health expert, is the founder of SOMA Breath and is internationally known as the Renegade Pharmacist. After working for several years in community pharmacies, he became disillusioned with the ineffectiveness and harmful side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. Witnessing countless clients leave with bags full of medications each month, rarely improving and often developing additional health issues, he sought a better way to achieve and maintain health.

Battling Ulcerative Colitis

In 2010, Niraj was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a stress-related illness that left him housebound for over ten months. Doctors told him there was no cure, and he would need lifelong medication. Experiencing severe side effects from his medication, Niraj felt hopeless and even suicidal. Faced with the choice of testing a new drug or undergoing surgery to remove his colon, he chose an unconventional path. He embarked on a journey of self-healing, exploring natural treatments including Ayurvedic practices, dietary changes through Paleo and Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), meditation, yoga, self-hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and sound therapy.

Holistic Healing and Transformation

Niraj’s holistic approach enabled him to overcome his illness without medication, transforming his life and igniting a passion for helping others achieve similar results. He specializes in assisting individuals to recover from or reduce their dependency on long-term medication for metabolic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and autoimmune diseases, where stress is a significant underlying factor.

Current Endeavors and Philosophy

Today, Niraj is a professional musician, holistic health expert, and entrepreneur. He runs successful websites that support individuals suffering from stress-related chronic diseases through his self-composed meditation music and online courses. His music is used in healing centers, spas, and by therapists worldwide. Niraj’s personal journey allows him to connect deeply with those leading busy, high-stress lives, promoting the belief that the root cause of disease and poor health lies in the stress of modern living, and that effective treatment begins with self-belief and lifestyle changes.
