Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #81! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel "off" but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life. 

In today's episode, I'm interviewing Dr. Shahana Alibhai. Dr. Shahana Alibhai is a professional Speaker, Family Physician and Mental Health Expert. She has worked with a multitude of national organizations including the University of British Columbia, Scotiabank and Remax to help the audience gain more clarity into their mental health. As a lead physician at one of British Columbia’s largest youth health centres, much of Dr. Shahana’s career is focused on those struggling with mental health.

Her insights are highly sought after, as she's been featured in multiple major media including CTV and Global. She is best known for her “Emotional Literacy for Better Mental Health” TEDx talk and as a panelist at International Women’s Day. She has served on the UBC Faculty of Medicine Residency training program and is currently a National accreditor for the College of Canadian Family Physicians. Dr. Shahana is passionate about shaping policy around child and youth mental health by bridging the gap between health-care and social-emotional education.

Dr. Shahana is a master at blending her personal story of postpartum anxiety and the resulting shame, denial and mental health challenges with her professional background in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness meditation. Her candour, humour and refreshing honesty will shine light on a topic that is too often stigmatized and inspire authentic dialogue to keep the conversation moving forward.
