Inside Dr. Rahman's Approach to Health:

• Education is Crucial: Inspired by her clinical outreach work in rural India, Dr. Rahman learned that people will not follow medical advice (like preventive health measures) if they don't understand the reasoning behind it.
• Transparent Communication: She dedicates extra time during appointments to explain her thought process and the "why" behind her recommendations, ensuring patients leave her office feeling confident rather than confused.
• Sustainable Health Habits: When counseling patients—especially regarding diet—she advocates for moderation and consistency over drastic, unsustainable elimination diets.
• Personal Health Hack: Dr. Rahman personally practices strength and resistance training 2-3 times a week, focusing on long-term benefits like bone strength and balance rather than just the amount of weight lifted.
