Dr. Saimun Singla was inspired to shift from practicing traditional medicine to a more integrative model that blends, as she says, "the best of the east and the west". She was inspired to explore a more patient centered approach after becoming a rheumatology patient herself and experiencing firsthand the impact that lifestyle practices and evidence based complementary methods have on overall health.
We discussed our diagnoses journeys and the challenges chronic illness patients face in the current medical model. Dr. Singla also shares evidence based complementary treatments that have helped her patients with issues like pain management and sheds light on the importance of having patients define what healthy means to them. She encourages patients to understand why being healthy is important to them specifically so that they are more likely to maintain the lifestyle practices, stress management, medication regimen when necessary, and other factors that help them remain in good health.
