Dr Madiha Saeed Medical Advisor to Wellness Mama

Dr. Madiha Saeed, MD

Born and raised in Illinois, Dr. Madiha Saeed completed her residency in South Bend, Indiana, after which, she joined an integrative medical practice. There, she witnessed firsthand the struggles each patient encountered, and their frustration in not knowing where to begin.

With her team, which included a nutritionist, psychotherapist, exercise physiologist, chiropractor, acupuncturist and other physicians, she was determined to get to the root cause of disease for each patient and for herself.

Not only did she have the joy of witnessing hundreds of success stories thanks to a holistic approach, she experienced firsthand the power of healing as she lost 50 pounds and beat hypothyroidism, eczema, sebhorrheic dermatitis, acne, fatigue, alopecia, joint pain, weight and digestive issues, all while balancing a growing family and work!

In 2015, Dr. Madiha moved to her hometown and established her own practice. When she wasn’t with patients, she was researching, pulling together the puzzle pieces of true holistic health care. She knew that if she as a physician was confused, how could those suffering all over the world find healing?

After four years of study, she took matters into her own hands and wrote The Holistic Rx: Your Guide to Healing Chronic Inflammation and Disease. It became a #1 best seller in multiple categories on Amazon, interpreting the best of holistic, functional and integrative medicine in ONE source for over 70 conditions across the lifespan.

Her enthusiasm for holistic health only continues to grow. Years of study and interactions with patients have transformed her life as a doctor, coach, wife and mother. Her crazy life at home is filled with five young, very active boys (four sons and a husband), a daily reminder of her passion: helping families heal and prevent disease, despite a crazy and busy schedule.

Placenta Encapsulation: Should You Do it?
