- Health & Fitness
Dr. Shivani Amin, MD is an experienced medical doctor specializing in functional medicine and spiritual thinking. Dr. Amin introduces you to the world of wellness through this medical prism & spiritual approach, with a focus on bridging the gap between the two.
Critical questions around topics such as mental, physical, and sexual health, as well as healing and immunity, are all up for conversation. This is a safe space created for intimate conversations for us to optimize our health - mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
This is not another boring health podcast with way too much technical jargon; nor will I make baseless claims or preach to you. What I will do is provide a forum where you will learn about proven ways to help you feel your best and create the healthiest version of YOU!
So I ask you, what do you want to change about your lifestyle, where you can be open-minded with a spiritual approach? Bring that to the podcast and let’s success together!
