rom an early age, I have been interested in the connection between the mind and the body. Even before studying medicine, I was drawn to the idea that our thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions play a role in how we experience health and wellbeing. This curiosity was one of the factors that motivated me to pursue a career in medicine.
As a student and later as a physician, my focus naturally shifted toward learning, training, and meeting the demands of conventional medical education. Like many clinicians, I spent years immersed in acquiring knowledge and building a practice, often prioritizing clinical responsibilities over reflection.
Over time, my work led me to explore areas of medicine that were not always emphasized in traditional training. Working in the field of integrative medicine and bioidentical hormones allowed me to see how addressing hormonal balance could support many individuals in meaningful ways. These experiences reinforced the importance of personalized care and listening closely to each patient’s story.
As my practice evolved, I found myself returning to the original curiosity that inspired me to become a doctor. While hormonal support can play an important role for many people, I began to recognize that health is influenced by more than physiology alone. How individuals respond to life events, manage stress, and interpret challenges can shape their overall experience of wellbeing.
From this perspective, supporting health involves more than addressing symptoms. It includes encouraging self-awareness, resilience, and thoughtful engagement with one’s own health journey. Medical care, lifestyle choices, and emotional wellbeing all intersect in complex and personal ways.
Today, my approach to medicine is shaped by both clinical training and lived experience. I believe in empowering individuals with knowledge while also encouraging reflection, curiosity, and personal responsibility as part of a comprehensive view of health.
