'As a functional medicine doctor, I have an opportunity of 20 to 30 years, before someone develops symptoms, to help them change, because a lot of the preventive strategies that we use for prevention of Dementia are lifestyle related.'
                                                                                                                                                      
Dr. Shabnam Das Kar transformed her medical career so she could help her patients avoid Dementia.   Before transitioning to functional medicine, Dr. Kar was practicing as an obstetrician gynecologist for more than 20 years in Mumbai. She lives in Calgary, Canada, and Mumbai, India.

  On this episode, Dr. Kar shares her extraordinary shift from traditional obstetrics and gynecology to a more holistic practice with a focus on brain health. She takes an  integrative approach to healthy aging, emphasizing the deep connections between our body's systems.  You'll learn about the  importance of the brain and how to develop tiny habit recipes to improve your overall health.   

 As a medical doctor, a brain health coach and a certified Tiny Habits coach, Dr. Kar helps people improve their focus, get rid of brain fog and prevent dementia down the line. Together we talk about the Fogg Behavior Model, developed by BJ Fogg, founder of the Stanford University Behavior Design Lab.  Healthy habits can lead to profound improvements in brain health and, subsequently, your overall sense of well-being.   Shabnam and I were trained in behavior design by Dr. BJ Fogg and Linda Fogg-Phillips.

Dr. Kar is determined to help her patients avoid dementia by creating healthy habits.  She shares some examples in our conversation.  She's also on the cutting edge of research into hypertension.   

This episode isn't just about the brain; it's an invitation to learn lifestyle enhancements that start tiny and have big results.  Reach out to us for more information about how to create habits for healthy aging and celebrate your success.
