About Dr. Akil Taher
Akil Taher, MD, is a practicing physician living in Atlanta, GA. He was raised in Mumbai, India, and trained in family medicine at the Flower Hospital in Sylvania, Ohio.

Dr. Taher is an eternal optimist, explorer, and adventurer who, in 2010, at the age of sixty-one, dramatically altered the conventional script adopted by most bypass surgery patients by undertaking a mountaineering trek to Mount Kailash in Tibet. This was a year after his open-heart surgery.

Over the last decade, he has overcome acute and chronic medical ailments by transforming his mind, body, and spirit by adopting a plant-based diet, practicing yoga and meditation, regular exercise, and developing a positive and purpose-driven mindset.

Dr. Taher is also a speaker focused on spreading the message of a heart-healthy lifestyle. Open Heart is his first book, and it chronicles his exploits since his heart surgery. He is happily married and has two children and an adorable grandson.
