Ep 140: How Dr. Saima Khan Overcame Narcolepsy Using Functional and Integrative Medicine Part 2

Dr. Saima Khan is a physician with over 27 years of experience and a deeply personal story of resilience and transformation. Diagnosed with narcolepsy in 2016 after stepping away from medicine due to chronic fatigue and excessive sleepiness, she found herself navigating the healthcare system not as a doctor but as a patient. When conventional treatments failed, she took her health into her own hands, uncovering and addressing multiple causes of brain inflammation including mold illness, Lyme disease and coinfections, chronic SIBO, mast cell activation, autoimmunity and much more. Dr. Saima holds a Doctor of Medicine from Aga Khan University, known as the "Harvard of Pakistan." She completed her Pediatric Residency at Children’s Hospital of Michigan, and fellowship in Medical Toxicology at Wayne State University. She is board-certified in Pediatrics and certified in Functional Medicine from the Institute for Functional Medicine. She also has advanced training in chronic illnesses like Lyme and coinfections, and mold. As the founder of Rebalance Family Health, a virtual practice based in Florida, Dr. Saima specializes in helping adults and children with complex illnesses with a focus on lyme and coinfections, mold illness, autoimmunity and inflammatory brain disorders. Her mission is to alleviate suffering by uncovering root causes, connecting the dots, and empowering patients to live vibrant, healthy lives. Some of the topics we discussed were: Dr. Khan’s background in toxicology Where Dr. Khan found her information on toxins Dr. Khan’s next steps to address the root cause of her narcolepsy Mold and microtoxin illness How Dr. Khan’s narcolepsy symptoms have vastly improved What the last missing piece was for Dr. Kahn in recovering from her narcolepsy And more!Learn more about me or schedule a FREE coaching call:https://www.joyfulsuccessliving.com/ Join the Voices of Women Physicians Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/190596326343825/  Connect with Dr. Khan: Website:www.rebalancefamilyhealth.com Instagram:@drsaimakhanmd
