EPISODE 102: DR. DOMINIQUE FRADIN-READ ON HER FUNCTIONAL MEDICAL ETHOS

 

Dr. Dominique Fradin-Read, M.D., M.P.H., board-certified physician specializing in preventative and anti-aging medicine, has been instrumental in Jena’s journey with adenomyosis and endometriosis. 

Soft-spoken, kind, and brilliant, the Los Angeles based doctor opened her practice, Vitalife MD, in 2015 and trained in both Europe and the United States. She combines the two techniques and offers a personalized, integrative approach to health, beauty, and wellness. Dr. Fradin-Read’s mantra? “I’m here to help anyone who would like to stay healthy and live a long life and a happy life.” 

In this episode of Nateurious, Dr. Fradin-Read chats with Jena about her medical ethos, perimenopause, her go-to supplements, and the importance of taking care of yourself.
