The Intracellular Podcast

https://rahavwellness.com/

Miriam Rahav, M.D. is a triple-boarded physician in the fields of internal medicine, hospice and palliative medicine and functional medicine. Dr. Rahav is a graduate and practitioner of  The Metabolic Approach to Cancer, trained by Dr. Nasha Winters. Dr. Rahav is also certified in acupuncture through The Tristate School of Acupuncture. Additionally is trained in a diagnostic and treatment modality called autonomic response testing (ART), and also neural therapy, through the Klinghardt Academy.

She studied education and comparative literature at Brown University and completed Brown’s undergraduate teacher education program, formally certifying as a secondary school teacher of both English and Spanish. Immediately after her graduation from Brown University she took a job teaching high school, business college, community and corporate English classes in Tokyo, Japan. After two years of intense teaching work she took a small break to Thailand to learn how to scuba dive. However, the trip lasted a lot longer than she initially expected.

In Thailand, Dr. Rahav discovered a subculture of health seekers from around the world, committed to finding their own way back to health with seemingly radical practices of fasting and colon cleansing. Extended fasting and colon cleansing changed her own health trajectory and life forever.

Determined to learn more about how to tap into radical healing self-practices and Thai traditional medicine, she found a way to study with traditional healers. She found a Thai non-government organization that was identifying and networking local traditional healers to try and support the burgeoning population of humans living with HIV/AIDS in the Upper North of Thailand.

After a final year on a Fulbright scholarship studying the integration of allopathic and traditional healing modalities in the care of people living with HIV/AIDS in Northern Thailand, she headed to Columbia University for post baccalaureate premedicine studies.

She then attended The Medical School for International Health (MSIH) a medical school based out of Ben Gurion University, in Southern Israel. At MSIH medicine studies focused on growing generations of globally minded physicians, with a strong focus on epidemiology, community health, and serving underserved populations around the world. It was the only place she considered going.

Dr. Rahav completed her residency training in internal medicine at Montefiore Medical Center, the teaching hospital for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Her completed fellowship training in Hospice and Palliative Care at New York University Medical Center (NYU).

Immediately after fellowship training and prior to opening Rahav Wellness, she worked several years in two functional medicine practices where she was finally able to fully integrate  years of study across the spectrum of healing arts.

Dr. Rahav’s vision for creating a supportive and collaborative integrative medical center finally manifested in Rahav Wellness | The Center for Collaborative Healing. Opening its doors in 2017, Rahav Wellness represents a groundbreaking model for collaborative community-oriented healthcare delivery.  The Center’s multi-disciplinary team integrate the greatest of traditional medicine and functional medicine and strive to make their carefully curated menu of services as accessible to as many people as possible in one single location.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Fon Walters, Co-Founder of Proof Vitality, and talk shop about all things supplements.

Unfortunately, the supplements market is saturated with cheap, ineffective products containing toxic fillers and generic, sometimes contaminated ingredients lacking the clinical science needed to validate their safety, purity, or efficacy..

Proof Vitality’s origins trace back to 2003 when Fon Walters discovered herbology through a radio show. Intrigued by the potential health benefits of natural ingredients, he began taking herbs and conducting extensive research. By 2006, he had left his job and started working at the flagship Whole Foods Market in Austin, Texas, learning from leading figures in the supplement industry.

Throughout his journey, he became fascinated by unique ingredients that could enhance longevity, healthspan, mental and physical performance, sexual health, and beauty from within. He was particularly drawn to medicinal plants validated by rigorous clinical research and revered by our ancestors for their health benefits, such as ac-11®, AstaReal®, LJ100®, and Pycnogenol®. This ignited his curiosity about the underutilization of such ingredients by supplement brands.

In 2013, Fon co-founded a couple of supplement companies and consulted for others, always insisting on top-tier, evidence-based ingredients. However, the compromise posed by generic ingredients or ineffective dosages often undermined the integrity and effectiveness of the products they aimed to create. He knew he needed a better approach.

When Dennis McGuire (co-founder) asked him how they could elevate Proof Vitality, he was ready with a plan to revolutionize the supplement industry: Demand nothing but patented, clinically studied ingredients that can be trusted and reject anything not backed by science. This commitment to excellence and dedication to evidence-based solutions is Proof Vitality.
