Dr. Lashin: Unveiling the Roots of Health with Functional and Integrative Medicine
For over 38 years, Dr. Sahara Lashin has witnessed the remarkable resilience of the human body. However, her extensive experience in traditional medicine also revealed its limitations in achieving true, lasting health. Many patients found themselves stuck in a cycle of symptom management, never truly addressing the underlying causes of their ailments. This realization sparked Dr. Lashin’s passion for Functional and Integrative Medicine, a philosophy that has transformed her approach to patient care.
Beyond Symptom Management: A Cellular Deep Dive
Dr. Lashin’s philosophy emphasizes diving deep into the human body, focusing on the health of our very building blocks – the cells. By understanding how these cells function, Dr. Lashin can identify imbalances and create personalized plans to address them at the root cause. This approach stands in stark contrast to traditional medicine, which often focuses solely on managing symptoms without exploring their origins.
A Journey of Discovery: From Traditional Medicine to Integrative Healing
Throughout her career, Dr. Lashin witnessed countless patients struggle with medication dependence and a lack of lasting improvement. This ignited a fire within her to seek a better path. Her background as a gastroenterologist, hepatologist, and specialist in tropical medicine and infectious disease exposed her firsthand to the limitations of traditional medicine. It became clear to Dr. Lashin that a more comprehensive approach was needed.
Functional Medicine: The Foundation for Optimal Health
Functional Medicine became the cornerstone of Dr. Lashin’s practice. This approach emphasizes the importance of optimal cellular function for overall health. By understanding how your cells work, Dr. Lashin can identify imbalances and create personalized plans to address them, promoting long-term well-being.
Expanding Horizons: Swiss Biological Medicine
Dr. Lashin’s pursuit of knowledge led her to the prestigious Swiss Biological Medicine Academy. This unique program broadened her horizons, allowing her to integrate the best of Western and Eastern medicine, alongside African and European healing traditions. By combining these diverse perspectives, Dr. Lashin gained a deeper understanding of the body’s remarkable potential for healing.
A Super-Specialty for Supercharged Health
Dr. Lashin views Integrative and Functional Medicine as a “super-specialty,” not merely a subspecialty of traditional medicine. It represents a whole new approach to healthcare, akin to the revolutionary transformation from traditional cars to Teslas. While traditional medicine focuses on managing symptoms, Integrative and Functional Medicine go back to the basics, “fixing the root of the problem” for optimal health and well-being.
