Today we’d like to introduce you to Remina Panjwani.
Hi Remina, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My journey has been anything but linear — but each chapter prepared me for the next. From serving in the military to becoming a physician, author, speaker, and entrepreneur, I’ve learned that true strength comes from alignment, not exhaustion.
I started my career in traditional medicine, driven by a deep desire to help people heal. As a board-certified internal medicine physician, I spent years in hospitals caring for patients with complex conditions. But I began to see that so many of their struggles — fatigue, burnout, and chronic symptoms — were rooted in something deeper that medicine alone couldn’t fix.
My experience in the military taught me structure, resilience, and leadership — but it also revealed the toll that chronic stress and high performance can take on the body and mind. That awareness shaped how I practice today. I discovered that true healing requires more than just science; it requires addressing the whole person — mind, body, and spirit.
That realization led me to functional and integrative medicine, where I found a way to bridge science with holistic care. Eventually, I opened my own concierge practice to serve high-performing individuals seeking deeper, root-cause healing. From there, my mission expanded beyond medicine. I began writing, speaking, and leading wellness workshops, retreats, and events that integrate sound healing, meditation, mindfulness, and breathwork — helping others regulate their nervous systems, release stress, and reconnect with their energy and purpose.
Today, my work blends everything I’ve learned along the way: the precision of medicine, the discipline of military service, and the mindfulness of holistic healing. Whether through my private practice, my writing, or the transformational spaces I hold through retreats and events, my mission remains the same — to help others find their way back to balance, vitality, and authenticity, because I’ve lived that journey myself.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
No, the road hasn’t been smooth — and in many ways, that’s what shaped who I am today. My journey toward becoming a physician started with doubt and discouragement. In college, I struggled with anxiety, burnout, and imposter syndrome — and at one point, I even experienced panic attacks because I didn’t have anyone telling me I could be a doctor. As a first-generation college student, I had to create my own roadmap and believe in possibilities no one around me had modeled.
The conventional system offered temporary fixes — antidepressants, brief appointments, maybe some talk therapy — but nothing that truly addressed the root of what I was feeling. It wasn’t until I walked into a yoga class that everything shifted. For the first time, I felt seen and heard — not as a student or a future doctor, but as a human being. That moment opened the door to tools that would become transformative: breathing, meditation, mindfulness, and self-awareness.
I began to see the body as a whole — mind, body, and spirit — and realized how interconnected everything is. We have the ability to rewire our brain, regulate our nervous system, and even influence our epigenetics through what we eat, how we move, how we manage stress, and the relationships we cultivate.
That awakening inspired not only my healing but also the way I now guide others. I learned that breaking cycles requires courage — from healing generational trauma to surrounding myself with like-minded people who are committed to growth, purpose, and service. My challenges became the foundation of my mission: helping others rediscover their power to heal and thrive from the inside out.
That’s why today, I blend the best of Eastern and Western medicine — because both have incredible value. Modern medicine provides the structure, science, and precision we need, while Eastern practices bring in mindfulness, energy, and emotional healing. Together, they create a more complete, compassionate, and lasting path to wellness.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
My work sits at the intersection of medicine, mindfulness, and human transformation. I run a concierge functional medicine practice where I help high-performing individuals — women and men — heal the root causes of stress, hormonal imbalance, fatigue, and chronic symptoms. What I’m known for is blending the precision of Western medicine with the grounding, nervous-system–resetting tools of Eastern practices.
I specialize in working with individuals who are successful on the outside but struggling internally with burnout, anxiety, overwhelm, or loss of purpose. Through advanced testing, personalized protocols, nutrition, hormone optimization, and lifestyle medicine, I help them understand their biochemistry. But I also teach tools like breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, and sound healing — so they can regulate their nervous system, strengthen resilience, and reconnect to themselves.
What sets my brand apart is the level of depth and personalization. My clients don’t just receive lab results and supplements — they receive a whole-person approach that acknowledges their emotional, energetic, and spiritual health too. I believe healing is both science and soul, and I’m proud that my work reflects that balance.
In addition to my medical practice, I lead retreats, wellness workshops, and corporate or conference talks where I integrate sound healing, mindfulness, and experiential practices to help people shift their state in real time. I’m also an author and speaker with a mission to bring a more conscious, compassionate form of healthcare to high-achieving communities.
What I want readers to know is this:
Your body is not broken.
You can rewire your brain, reset your nervous system, and influence your epigenetics. You can feel energized, clear, grounded, and aligned again — and you don’t have to choose between a high-performing life and a healthy one. My brand exists to show you how to have both: success with sustainability, and wellness with depth.
What matters most to you? Why?
What matters most to me is helping people return to themselves — to their truth, their health, and their inner alignment. I’ve learned through my own journey that when we are disconnected from who we are, everything in life becomes harder: our relationships, our work, our health, even our sense of purpose. But when we reconnect to our mind, body, and spirit, everything begins to shift.
I care deeply about helping others heal at the root. Not just treating symptoms or putting bandages on exhaustion, but showing people that they have the power to rewire their brain, regulate their nervous system, and influence their long-term health. Watching someone go from burnout to clarity, from stress to stability, from surviving to leading their life with intention — that’s the work that lights me up.
It also matters to me to be the representation I didn’t have. As a first-generation college graduate, a woman of color, a veteran, and someone who had to carve her own path in medicine, I want others to see what’s possible. I want to break generational cycles and create generational wellness — not just for my family, but for every person who crosses my path.
Ultimately, what matters most is impact. If I can help someone feel seen, supported, and empowered to reclaim their health and their life, then I am fulfilling my purpose. That’s why I do this work — because healing one person changes their family, their community, and their future. It creates a ripple effect that goes far beyond the moment. And that’s the legacy I want to leave.
