Get Well, Better: Health and Wellness Reimagined Haynow Media

Conventional Western medicine is highly effective at treating disease, but is relatively limited when it comes to preventative care and root-cause approaches. Some practitioners have since adopted complementary, integrative interventions to enable a more personalized, holistic approach to care. Among them is Dr. Gary Goldman M.D, a Cornell trained physician practicing Integrative Gynecology and Functional Medicine in New York City. He joins podcast host Chloe Harrouche to clarify how integrative medicine unlocks the potential for women’s health, highlighting the importance of thinking outside the box and finding individualized solutions. In this episode, they explore the root causes of chronic UTIs and the role of dysbiosis, addressing the microbiome as a crucial aspect of treatment. They also address the rise in infertility due to various factors, including age, stress, body fat, the use of birth control and its impact on hormone balance. This episode is great for anyone interested in exploring an integrative approach to their health and its ability to change their outcomes.

In this solo episode, Chloe shares her personal experience navigating breast cancer and infertility, and how it led her to launch The Lanby. She discusses the lack of coordination of care and guidance throughout survivorship, and how that led her to pursue wellness optimization on her own.

Chloe highlights the unknown risks of consumerized wellness and how the lessons she learned have shaped The Lanby’s care model. She highlights the importance of introducing wellness into the scope of primary care to support prevention and monitoring those wellness interventions to ensure efficacy and progress.

The Lanby’s approach to primary care is a stark contrast to the unpleasant and unsatisfying experience we’ve come to expect when visiting the doctor. By leveraging tenets of hospitality and providing needed support across medicine and wellness, The Lanby is redefining what it means to get well, better.
