Most people don't give themselves permission to want more, especially when the world keeps telling them to want less.

In this episode, Kristy sits down with Dr. Remina Panjwani, a mom, veteran, physician, and entrepreneur, whose life has been a masterclass in breaking molds. Born in Denmark to Pakistani immigrant parents, raised in the United States, and deployed to Iraq at 19, Dr. Remina's path to becoming a physician was anything but conventional. And once she got there, she realized the system she'd fought so hard to enter was broken.

Dr. Remina opens up about surviving panic attacks during medical school, navigating generational trauma, and why graduating at the top of her class still wasn't enough to keep her in a system that prioritized shareholders over patients. After five years as a hospital internist, she made the leap to found her own integrative medicine practice, blending Eastern and Western modalities to get to the real root cause of her patients' struggles.

Things You Will Learn:

How generational trauma shows up physically and what to do about it
Why conventional medicine treats symptoms while functional medicine chases root causes
What perimenopause actually is and why it starts earlier than most women think
Which supplements most Americans are deficient in (and the specific forms that matter)
How sound healing, breathwork, and nervous system regulation create lasting change
Why giving yourself permission is the first and most powerful step toward change

Tools & Frameworks Covered:

The Root Cause Framework: Functional medicine's approach to identifying and treating underlying imbalances rather than masking symptoms
Nervous System Regulation: Using breathwork, meditation, yoga, and sound healing to shift out of fight-or-flight
Hormone Optimization: Understanding perimenopause, bioidentical hormones, and how stress depletes your hormonal reserves
The Supplement Stack: Why NAD, Vitamin D3+K2, and Magnesium Glycinate matter and how to use them
Permission as a Practice: The mindset shift of giving yourself permission to follow the calling before you have all the answers

If this episode made you think, "I've been managing symptoms instead of solving the problem," this is your sign to dig deeper.
