About my guest: Dr. Priya Sureddi Patel, MD, FACOG, FAAMM, ABAARM, is double board-certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and by the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. This dual board certification gives her a unique perspective, and was the impetus behind FeminologyMD. She wanted to create a center for women that resets the standard of what healthcare should be. Her goal is to take a deeper look into your biological makeup and treat you as a whole person, not just a symptom, so she can help you feel like you again. At FeminologyMD, she takes an integrative approach and combines the best traditional, holistic, and functional medicine treatments to optimize results and empower women to be their best selves. They build an atmosphere where women can trust their provider, share all of their concerns, and access all available and effective treatment options for optimal health. The goal is to break free of the traditional disease-based model, where a physician fits you into a 15-minute time slot to review your symptoms, gives you a diagnosis, and sends you on your way with medicine. They go beyond that. She listens to your experiences, your medical history, and your concerns. She seeks to understand and evaluate the bigger picture of your health, and manages any disease or conditions with treatment of the root cause. Their goal is to help women slow the negative effects we feel as our bodies and chemical makeup change over time.
