Dr. Nadia Musavvir, Naturopathic Doctor
Dr. Nadia is a licensed naturopathic doctor dedicating her career to changing how women view health, nutrition, and beauty. She utilizes her extensive knowledge of Eastern and Western medicine to get to the root of medical issues and restore the body to its optimal physiology. Harper’s Bazaar, In Style, and Allure have featured Dr. Nadia for her expertise in everything from hormone and gut health to skin and hair conditions. Her virtual concierge consulting practice offers patients customized solutions for health optimization and she also advises corporations and brands. She truly honors taking care of yourself inside and out. Her luminous locks and glowing skin will inspire you to do the same.
Being Pakistani and Mexican, Dr. Nadia was fortunate to have had much healing wisdom passed on to her from both cultures. Taking prescription medications or pharmaceuticals was always a last resort growing up. As such, she regularly took herbs and went to acupuncturists in place of conventional doctors. Still uncertain of her professional path during her final year of undergrad, she learned of a doctorate program in naturopathic medicine that combined holistic nutrition, acupuncture, homeopathy, botanical medicine, and a conventional medical curriculum. She knew immediately that this was the place for her.
Dr. Nadia completed her naturopathic medical training at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine after receiving her BS in Kinesiology from the California State University of Fullerton. She has also completed additional training in Mind-Body Medicine from the Benson-Henry Institute at Harvard and is currently training in Psychedelic Assisted Therapies and Research from the California Institute of Integral Studies.
Dr. Nadia believes stress and trauma are the drivers of most chronic and physical degeneration. Her passion for finding the root cause gives her a unique approach to hair and skin; balancing hormones, digestive function, immune system, and unresolved trauma to address aesthetic concerns. She uses measures beyond symptom control and cosmetic treatments, instead, she draws from her multiple areas of studies and traditional wisdom to provide patients with the necessary tools to create healing that starts from within and reflects outward.

I think there were many that ultimately led me to this path. My cultural background, my personal health struggles, my brother being vaccine injured, and then my mom being gaslit about it.

How does one bring an emphasis on mindfulness and wellness into their everyday lives?
In my case, I was sick and tired of feeling like something was off all the time. I carried all these negative feelings and emotions with me that were being reflected in disease, lack of abundance, and poor relationships in my life. It got to a point where I was willing to do anything to feel different. So, I stumbled upon mindfulness and wellness and started to feel better and better. I noticed the change and so did everyone around me. Since then it’s been about commitment, and I’m fully committed to feeling great, so I continue to show up and do the work every day. Even on days when I don’t want to.
Can you give us a brief overview of what you eat in a day?
I usually start the day with a handful of blueberries or an apple or orange plus 1-2 eggs, a small piece of grass fed steak, or ground beef. If I’m low on time, I’ll have a smoothie with blueberries and protein.
Small steak and avocado
Salmon or scallops and seaweed
Blueberries, apples, or oranges as a snack. Or some raw milk cheddar.

Lots of water, one cup of coffee, and green tea.

Absolute favorite healers, practitioners or products for beauty, health and wellness?
Honestly, I have so many! Many of my mentors or people I’ve connected with online. I can't pick or name just a few because I don’t want to leave anyone out!
One that stands out though is Lisa Gainsley; she brought attention to the most under-appreciated system in the body– the lymphatic system! I love all of the education she provides around lymph. Lymphatic health truly is the key to beautiful skin, health, and overall wellness.
Advice to the Woo🖤Woo Working Women out there figuring out how to live their best high-vibrancy life?
Take things one breath at a time. You don’t have to make massive changes all at once. Progress over perfection.
