Summary

I am a licensed physician with a PhD in Diagnostic Radiology and over 15 years of clinical practice. Over time, my passion for patient-centered care and science of nutrition led me to gradually shift toward clinical nutrition and holistic health coaching. I eventually made a full transition into this field, combining my strong medical foundation with evidence-based behavioral change strategies. I currently run a private practice, supporting clients in Egypt and the Arabian Gulf through both in-person and virtual consultations. I am now eager to broaden my exposure and enrich my expertise by working with international clients in a diverse, multidisciplinary environment.
