Functional Medicine and Calm Mind Sessions
in Dubai
One doctor, body and mind together. Physical symptoms and emotional strain often feed each other. Poor sleep lowers mood, stress upsets digestion and constant worry can leave you exhausted. This programme brings functional medicine and Calm Mind Sessions together under one doctor, Dr Fouzia, a consultant family physician in Dubai. You get a careful medical review of what may be contributing, alongside practical therapy skills for the thoughts, habits and stress that go with it.
What “integrated” means here.
How the two parts work together.
Functional medicine looks at factors such as sleep, nutrition, digestion, hormones and stress, using a detailed history and selected tests alongside standard medical assessment. Calm Mind Sessions teaches practical skills for worry, low mood, stress and unhelpful habits. Together they let you work on what is happening in the body and how you cope with it, side by side.
Who the programme suits.
People with ongoing tiredness, digestive symptoms, hormonal changes or stress-related symptoms who also feel anxious, low or overwhelmed. Those who have had tests that did not explain how they feel. Anyone who wants one coordinated plan instead of separate appointments.
What the programme includes.
The programme is built around your history, symptoms and goals, reviewed and adjusted at each step.
A first consultation covering medical history, symptoms, routine and goals
A medical review, with blood tests only where they would change your plan
A written plan with priorities in order, covering lifestyle, nutrition and, where useful, supplements
Calm Mind Sessions for the concerns you choose to work on
Follow-up reviews to see what is helping and adjust
