How His Own Pain Led to a New Approach to Healing | Dr. Fawad Mian

What happens when the options you’re given don’t feel like the right fit? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with neurologist and regenerative medicine specialist Dr. Fawad Mian for a conversation about pain, healing, and the power of asking better questions. After facing his own injuries and being told surgery was the answer, Dr. Mian began searching for another way. That personal experience changed the way he approached medicine and led him into regenerative and functional treatments designed to help people restore movement, rebuild confidence, and reclaim their lives. This conversation explores chronic pain, PRP, prolotherapy, functional medicine, inflammation, aging well, and why sometimes the path forward begins by looking beyond the first answer you were given.
