Dr. Hanisha Patel, ND
Founder
Naturopathic Doctor
I am a licensed naturopathic doctor who aspires to see a world where great health is not only achievable but the norm. For most of my life, I dealt with constipation, abdominal pain, asthma, allergies, joint pain, back pain, irregular menstrual cycles, chronic nasal congestion, dry skin, migraines, fatigue, inability to focus, and memory issues. I thought all of these things were just the reality I had to live with until I discovered Naturopathic medicine.
I worked with a Naturopathic doctor who did extensive lab work and found that I have Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism. After working with the naturopathic doctor, I was able to reverse all of my symptoms and truly understand what it means to experience mahan health.
That's why now, nothing but "mahan" or "great" health makes sense to me, and I am passionate about helping others experience that as well.
What does Mahan Health mean to you?
To me, Mahan Health means having the ability to live the life you desire. For some, that means having the strength to climb Machu Picchu or become a ninja warrior, while for others, it may mean simply having the energy to play with their grandchildren or the option to have children of their own.
Whatever it is that you dream of, I believe you can do it if you experience Mahan health. That's what it comes down to for me - being able, in mind, body, and spirit to truly follow your dreams.

Hayley Cook
Administrative Assistant
I am a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach who is passionate about helping others on their path towards wellness. As a teen, I struggled with constant GI and hormonal issues that had me missing school and missing out on life. Upon taking a deep dive into holistic health, I was able to find that proper nutrition and self-care could reverse the effects of my own autoimmune condition.
After years in the education world, I decided to attend the Institute for Integrative Nutrition so that I could support others on their wellness journeys. During my training, I had the opportunity to learn from top doctors like Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Deepak Chopra, and Dr. Frank Lipman. Now, I'm excited to work with and learn from Dr. Hanisha and be a part of Mahan Health.
What does Mahan Health mean to you?
To me, Mahan Health means embracing the state of ultimate well-being that we are intended to enjoy, thus allowing us to live life to the fullest without disease or unpleasant symptoms holding us back.

"Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Dr. Hanisha. I have UC (ulcerative colitis) and hypothyroidism and have been on standard conventional medication for years. I had always attributed my crumby stomach feelings to my autoimmune conditions. Dr. Hanisha is so passionate about wanting you to feel your best! She took an integrative approach in helping me and I am forever thankful!"
