EP.33 MY JOURNEY FROM OBGYN TO PRACTISING LIFESTYLE MEDICINE
Dear Life Warriors, Dr. Varnado left her traditional career of almost 20 years in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2021 to address the broken healthcare system, which currently puts the most resources in treating symptoms, when it really needs to address the root cause of diseases. Through her years of practice, she has realized that many know what it takes to be healthy but outside of a support system their efforts rarely yield the desired outcome because their environments often reinforce poor habits. Her focus now is to help others achieve optimal mental and physical health by focusing on lifestyle based treatment, which she believes, could prevent and manage most ailments. This shift was born from starting her podcast in November 2020, Office Visits with Dr. V, where she not only educates women about their gynecologic health and how their bodies function but also about their overall health and wellness. Dr. Varnado was born and raised North Carolina and has been living out a childhood dream of taking care of women of all ages as an Ob/Gyn. She is a proud graduate of Hampton University and The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. She completed her Ob/Gyn residency at Tulane University in New Orleans, LA, where she learned how to be an excellent surgeon and physician. Being a mother of two, having a marriage of 17 years, a supportive family and a strong relationship with God are keys to her success.Topics:How to leave your dream career for purposeLiving a life of purposeWomen’s HealthHow to implement lifestyle changesHow to improve your health through lifestyle changesMommy GuiltCovid mindset shiftMommy guiltChallenges for health professionalsFaith and MedicineSpirituality in the practice of medicine Dr. Varnado is an Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2021 to address the broken healthcare system, which currently puts the most resources in treating symptoms, when it really needs to address the root cause of diseases.
