Whether you're exploring functional medicine, personal growth, or breaking generational patterns, this episode offers insights to live more intentionally, authentically, and healthfully.

[1:46] Paving the Way Forward

"I'm the 1st generation to grow up in the United States to have a college education."

[2:58] Choosing My Own Path

"I come from a South Asian background as well. And so, if you're traditional, they're like, 'Oh, just get married, have kids, whatever,' right? I'm like, 'Mm, no. I needed to do something different.'"

[5:17] The Military Path

"I can say now with confidence, I was searching for my purpose."

[10:30] Right Frequency

"You find your people when you're in the right environment and the right frequency."

[12:02] Building My Own Path in Medicine

"We're in a sick reactive system. So I got certified in functional medicine from the Institute of Functional Medicine at Cleveland Clinic. And then I thought, well, the system's broken. 
I just need to make my own."

 

[17:27] Healing What's Underneath

"You could be doing the right things. You could still be eating the right things, but there may be something deeper."

[25:30] The Cortisol

"So your body's still going to produce that cortisol and other neurochemicals that are released to keep you safe and flee and save your life. The thing is once that acute threat is gone, your body can relax."

[36:27] Conventional Medicine and Functional Medicine

"When you look at conventional medicine, it's a bandage approach, a reactive approach…when you look at functional medicine, advanced labs, it's actually really personalized, to the point where it's very advanced."

[41:48]  The Odd Girl Out, Doctor Within: A Story of Purpose, Pillars, and Personal Power

"So then if you don't have access to a functional medicine doctor, a holistic practice or spiritual guide or whatever, then I added each chapter to a supplemental workbook. So it can help guide yourself."

[45:58] Generational Trauma

"If the mom is in a stressful environment, be it physical, mental, they're consuming whatever the case is, toxins, right? 

It's going to affect the baby, it gets into their telomeres, their DNA, etc."

[53:27]  Growth Reveals True Connections

"When you're awakened and you're becoming more of you. The right people will stick around you."
