More on Dr. Patel:
Dr. Hanisha Patel graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences and received her medical education at Bastyr University California in San Diego. With her background in both conventional and natural medicine, she works with each individual to find what works best for them and their unique genetic and environmental makeup.
She dealt with her own personal autoimmune issues since birth until she finally saw a Naturopathic doctor who helped her reverse all of her symptoms. She realized she didn't have to deal with all of those symptoms and she was finally able to experience mahan (great) health. Now, as a Naturopathic Physician herself, she aspires to see a world where mahan health is not only achievable but the norm. She believes this happens from a holistic perspective. This is why she not only works with patients in person and via telemedicine, but also empowers the local and international community with her talks and podcast, Mahan Health, she is a published author in The Townsend Letter, and she works alongside legislators as a patient advocate. When she's not doing all those things, you can find her outside in nature, watching the sunrise or sunset, working out, doing yoga, cooking, dancing, or traveling!
