02/27/25 • 43 min

Episode 045 | The Dermy Doc is in the house! Big shout out to friend of the pod Dr. Adam Swigost (episodes 004 and 041) for introducing me to the incomparable Dr. Fatima Fahs.
Dr. Fahs is a board-certified dermatologist and diplomat of the American Board of Dermatology. She has been quoted and featured in numerous publications including The New York Times, Forbes, Self, Time, Today, Cosmopolitan, Women’s Health and many more.
She's also the founder of the award winning skincare subscription box, Dermy Dox Box, as well as the Dermy Doc Institute, a fabulous direct care dermatology practice in Southfield, Michigan.
We recorded this episode just days before the Institute's grand opening, and I'm so grateful she was willing to give us some of her time.
I love how more and more doctors are redefining healthcare and bringing it back to a much healthier place and can't help but shout these stories from the rooftop.
At the Dermy Doc Institute, Dr. Fahs provides comprehensive, personalized care without the demands and restrictions placed by insurance companies. This allows for her sole focus to be on you, the patient, and your unique dermatological needs.
She knows that many of us experience barriers to quality healthcare imposed by health insurance companies that we all so clearly know value profits over health and well-being. Dr. Fahs believes every patient has the right to make their own healthcare decisions. She's helping put the power of your healthcare back into your hands by utilizing a direct care model.
Dr. Fahs has a particular interest in skincare and product formulation, researching the efficacy of over the counter cosmeceuticals. Her Instagram account is where she decodes skincare ingredients and explains common dermatological concerns and her award-winning subscription box, Dermy Doc Box, is how she brings quality and effective skincare to your doorstep for a fraction of the price.She graduated with honors as a MedStart full-ride scholar from Wayne State University with a Bachelor of Science in biology and a minor in art. She went on to attend Oakland University William Beaumont School on a full-ride scholarship, earning her medical doctorate. Dr. Fahs then completed her medicine internship at Beaumont Hospital and her dermatology residency at Wayne State University, serving as Chief Resident in her final year.She's a Michigan native, born and raised and resides in West Bloomfield with her husband and three children.Tune in to learn more!🔗 Connect with and learn from The Dermy Doc

A Joyful Approach to Delivering Outstanding Integrative Dermatology Care | Meena Julapalli, MD

Episode 044 | The Queen of Joy, Dr. Meena Julapalli, is BACK!
If you're new around here or missed it for any other reason, I recommend that you first enJOY episode 022 and follow it with this one.
Dr. Julapalli is a triple board-certified in pediatrics, dermatology, and pediatric dermatology.
After 7 years in academics as an Assistant Professor of Dermatology and Pediatrics at the University of Texas - Austin and the University of Colorado, she opened her own direct care pediatric dermatology practice, Bluebird Dermatology, in Houston, Texas.
Dr. Julapalli is passionate about providing comprehensive, integrative, and personalized care that acknowledges and supports not just the physical aspects of her patients' skin conditions but also their unique social and emotional needs. She believes that by fostering sacred relationships of love, trust, and mutual respect and creating an environment and community whereby children and families affected by skin disease feel seen, heard, understood, valued, and supported, they are empowered, transformed, and healed in profound and life-changing ways.
Dr. Julapalli has been blessed to facilitate and witness these transformations through her involvement with support groups and camp programs throughout the country, including the American Academy of Dermatology-sponsored Camp Discovery, Paul Newman's SeriousFun Network, and the American Camp Association, as well as through local workshops and healing circles that she leads.
She is the founder of The Joyful Path, whose mission is to help children build the intuition of how to nourish their mind, body, and soul so that they may live, love, and serve generously with an open heart, intention, and purpose.In addition to her philanthropic pursuits in her local and national communities, Dr. Julapalli is dedicated to serving children abroad. She has volunteered her time and expertise at a pediatric HIV/AIDS clinic in Lesotho, Africa, at orphanages and schools in Nicaragua, with children and adults with albinism in Tanzania, and most recently with people in impoverished villages in northern Thailand.Dr. Julapalli's adventures also include being a children's book author, wisdom coach and yoga instructor for kids, Reiki master, world explorer (she has been to all 7 continents, all 50 states), avid hiker, meditator, sound healer/instrumentalist, and amateur swing dancer!
She's also simply one of the most truly joyful and generous people I've ever met. I'm honored and grateful to call her a friend and colleague and am thrilled to have her back on the show.🔗 Connect with and learn from Dr. Julapalli
