Show notes

In this episode of "GynoCurious," host Dr. Amy Novatt welcomes Farah Jamani, a pharmacist, functional medicine, and mindset coach living and working in Canada. Dr. Novatt kicks off the conversation with a stark overview of the failing healthcare landscape in the U.S., highlighting key issues such as the high cost of healthcare, inadequate access, and the system's intricate complexities. Farah shares her personal journey from being a traditional pharmacist to embracing functional medicine, driven by her own health struggles and those of the women she encountered in her practice.

Farah elaborates on the concept of functional medicine, emphasizing the importance of identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms—a common approach in conventional medicine. She shares insightful anecdotes about the psychological and social burdens women face, especially in midlife, and discusses how societal pressures and hormonal changes contribute to these health challenges. Farah's integrative approach aims to empower women by teaching them sustainable lifestyle changes and mindset shifts, promoting a balanced and holistic approach to health.

The episode also touches on Farah's annual retreat, "The Real Reset," held at Isabella Rossellini's, Mama Farm. At this retreat, women are offered a comprehensive program that includes anti-inflammatory diets, stress management techniques, and mindset coaching aimed at creating long-lasting health transformations. Dr. Novatt and Farah conclude by discussing the importance of personalized medicine and the growing interest in integrative approaches to health. This episode is a rich exploration of how women can reclaim their health and well-being through informed, holistic practices.
