Women's Wellness PIONEER Dr. Noor Al-Humaidhi on Misunderstanding Menopause & HRT! Plus, the EXPLOSION of Her Business 🚀
Dr. Noor Al-Humaidhi is a pioneer in the field of women's wellness.A doctor who has spent decades studying and practicing medicine in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and, since 2017, the United States, Dr. Noor has seen just about everything you can see in her field.In the U.K., women used to visit Dr. Noor, often complaining of memory lapses and unexplained feelings of confusion. For years, Dr. Noor would prescribe medication and then send them on their way.Because back then, modern medicine didn't understand (or care to) treat women who were clearly undergoing what we now understand to be perimenopause and menopause.But when Dr. Noor herself started experiencing perimenopause during the pandemic - and when she began hormone replacement therapy - she realized she could bring a whole new level of care to the Seacoast and beyond.Enter Lifestyles By Noor, an Exeter-based business which offers comprehensive 1:1 care to help women (and now men) get back to feeling like their best selves. Plus, to her 126,000 (and quickly-growing) Instagram followers, Dr. Noor regularly posts videos for women undergoing health issues that most of the medical industry is still trying to wrap its head around.From her office in Exeter, Dr. Noor and host Troy Farkas sit down to discuss why women's wellness was so under-researched for so long, her personal experience of perimenopause, how the idea for Lifestyles By Noor smacked her in the face, why her business has taken off since launching it in 2023, her own personal wellness routines, and more.Plus, what it was like working in the U.K.'s NHS system, that time Troy got hit by a car in London, and Dr. Noor's childhood years in Kuwait.To stay up-to-date with Dr. Noor's big plans and latest medical musings, you can follow her on Instagram @askdrnoor or visit LifestylesByNoor.com.SPONSORS:Business coach Jennifer Wilder: Women can get $100 off 1:1 private advisory with one of the Seacoast's top business minds!
