Today on Feminine Roadmap we are talking with Dr. Salome Masghati on optimizing your health and healing.

Dr. Salome is passionate about helping her clients to understand the whole perspective on their health. The whole picture of health includes the mindset, body, trauma, epigenetics and environment. As an allopathic doctor, she found that she wanted to be able to provide a more holistic approach to health and healing for her clients so she added functional medicine to her resume.

Functional medicine approaches health by looking at a patient as an individual with a systems-based biology approach. A functional medicine doctor takes a holistic approach by considering the full picture of your physical, mental, emotional, and sometimes even spiritual health. The beauty of this approach is getting beyond the symptom itself to the root cause of that symptom so that true healing occurs.

Dr. Salome encourages those new to functional medicine to trust the process and understand this approach takes time. Functional medicine requires a mindset shift toward medicine from a quick fix to a long-term solution. This will take time, work, and changes in behaviors and habits with long-lasting results for your health.

In our conversation, Dr. Salome wants listeners to understand that a lot of things are in your hands to optimize your health. Her goal is to help people thrive within the reality of the lives they are living. She encourages learning to trust your body and to be persistent in finding answers for your health challenges. That journey often requires being willing to find the right physician to be your partner on the journey. It’s important to make time for your health while you’re healthy by taking time for self-care which is a big key to healing.

If you are curious about functional medicine, how it works and why it’s different, this episode is for you. Please grab a cuppa something wonderful and join us for this great conversation about true health and healing.
