From the Back Burner to Precision and Lifestyle Thriving for Women in Healthcare w/Dr. Tamar Lawful | Holistic Pharmacy Podcast

We are getting so close to the end of the year and the end of Season 5 of the Holistic Pharmacy Podcast! I want to thank you so much for tuning in and learning how to be better practitioners and humans together. I could not do this without your support and feedback, and it truly inspires me to keep going every day even when challenges inevitably arise. With the solstice coming up, I invite you to take stock of your year and your life, and reflect on what resources you already have that you can tap into. Winter is the season for slowing down and introspection, so really allow yourself to just be. Ask yourself what you need, and what would serve you. And take care of yourself! Which leads me to the topic of today’s episode, where today’s guest passionately shares about her own journey and the powerful realization that women in healthcare need to take care of themselves just as well as they take care of their patients. Dr. Tamar Lawful, is a Doctor of Pharmacy and graduate of the University of the Sciences - Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. She is a licensed Pharmacist in California, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. As an Advanced Practice Pharmacist, she specializes in Pharmacogenomics, Nutritional Genomics and Integrative Nutrition. She combines these skills as Founder of LYFE Balance, Inc. where she takes a holistic and integrative approach to deprescribe unnecessary medications; promote food as medicine; guide healthy lifestyle changes; and highlight the importance of self-love to help women working in healthcare reclaim and maintain their health. With her signature InHer GlowTM Health Empowerment program, she utilizes nutrigenomics to guide clients' health goals and has helped women with diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hormonal disorders lose weight, get off medications and adopt a sustainable healthy lifestyle. Her clients go from putting themselves on the back burner to the point of failing health to loving themselves first, eating healthy, eliminating brain fog, having more energy, losing weight and living their best lives! Dr. Lawful has devoted her talents to foster youth programs, youth summer camps, and philanthropic endeavors. Born in Jamaica and raised in New Jersey, she now calls California home and enjoys being a mother, playing the guitar, spa days, food, and beach life.
