Biography
Dr. Mawji is a sought after speaker around the lower mainland (Vancouver, BC) on conditions including: hormonal dysfunction, immune support, stress management, and healthy lifestyle habits. She takes part in a number of corporate wellness initiatives for some of Canada's leading banks and has contributed to a range of public health initiatives over the last 10 years both in Canada and Internationally. She was the nutrition lead for a two year Health Canada study investigating dietary and lifestyle interventions on cardiovascular markers in the South Asian population and continues to stay active in public health initiatives. This has given her the opportunity to work with many health care providers, in different areas of health focusing on hormones, anti-aging medicine, metabolic dysfunction including diabetes, cardiovascular improvement and mental health.
During her undergraduate degree at the University of British Columbia, Dr. Mawji worked alongside a Functional Medical Doctor, in a private health setting, to optimize patient care. This is where her exposure to Functional Medicine began. She worked with this Physician for two years, and was exposed to a side of health care that merged western and eastern philosophy. This is where her enthusiasm for lifestyle medicine, innovative testing, and evaluating symptoms further, sparked her desire to learn more. She observed improvements in patient care, the power of a positive physician-patient relationship and became exposed to the world of hormones, heavy metal testing and anti-aging medicine. This motivated her to become a Naturopathic Doctor; individualized medicine, patient centred care, and looking beyond a diagnoses.
