Anti-aging physician Doctor Roya Hassad is leading a new medical approach to executive health following the impact of the pandemic. Executive health is an ongoing concern in the workplace and has been a growing ‘silent crisis’ as people’s jobs get disrupted on a global level. The pressure and longer hours for executives is affecting their health in many acute ways. This is especially true as workplace culture shifts and now there’s a need to focus on wellness and physical well-being as executives are experiencing higher levels of stress than ever before.

Doctor Roya, founder of the Hope, Life and Dream Centers in New York, has been working for 20 years to develop treatments to help people restore their health. Recently, she advocated for executives to consider their lifestyle choices including their “brain wellness” to stay healthy. Working with her international clients and on-site in New York, Dr. Roya has developed a unique Brain Wellness programme that helps stressed out executives and individuals rebalance their brain’s neurotransmitters. When out of alignment, people can experience a myriad of health problems ranging from poor concentration to weight problems and mood swings, and it is important to find a balance to keep neurotransmitters in check. 

There are several ways executives can start to improve their overall mental health. Examples include:

• Working from home one day per week (or every other week)
• Working from home at least one day per month
• Taking designated “me time” throughout the day or week
• Setting alarms throughout the workday for scheduled breaks
• Encouraging dialogue with employees, family members, friends, or colleagues about mental health issues

However, it’s not always easy to rebalance neurotransmitters in the brain, which have a profound impact on mood, sleep, concentration, weight and a majority of bodily functions. Dr. Roya’s approach is one of personalisation depending on the individual’s circumstances.

With executives working longer hours at multinational companies in Britain and America, there’s been a renewed focus on mental health and brain wellness in the past year, and with more people working remotely, a new approach is certainly needed.

Self-awareness is a loosely used term these days. Different factions of our society adapt it to suit their agendas. In the process, they end up maligning its spirit and shackling its purpose. However, for New York-based family physician Doctor Roya J. Hassad, self-awareness is the first step to empowerment.

What does it mean to be self-aware? Who said we aren’t already self-aware? How did they know that? And why should we listen? These are some of the less popular questions around the phenomenon of self-awareness. However, without a clear understanding of what it entails, self-awareness becomes a hobby, a pass time, a mere ornament in the cabinet of life. Dr. Roya J. Hassad acknowledges this and says, “Self-awareness is not just a feeling. It’s a realization; a realization of our true thoughts and true emotions. Knowing our thoughts and the direction in which they lead along with the depths of our emotions as they direct our thoughts is the most reliable way to empower ourselves and our world.”

Today’s world is a messy place. Perhaps, the key to consideration lies not in the rampant wars, inequalities, or prejudices but instead in the causes that have led to these consequences. With the word “self” in self-realization, it’s clear for anyone willing to see that “it is deeply personal. It’s what makes us, and our world is a reflection of that understanding. This sense gives us the power to reclaim ourselves in our world and not get drowned in the noise that surrounds us. Easier said than done, but it’s the one thing worth pursuing with all that you’ve got” says Dr. Roya.

As a medic, Dr. Roya has often seen people suffering from a lack of self-knowledge. They are afraid to love themselves and are worried that others dislike them. For Dr. Roya, such interpretations of life and oneself are a clear symptom of something gone wrong. As she puts it, “lack of self-realization is lack of spirit, energy, and wisdom. Without these, it’s impossible to find one’s ways in the intricately woven fabric of our society. It’s what defeats the whole purpose of empowerment and fills it instead with loosely held ideas that are far from our own but nevertheless have the power to own us.”

Dr. Roya J. Hassad’s determination to fine-tune the concept of self-realization is a goal worthy of admiration and we wish her the best of luck.

Doctor Roya Hassad’s name rings bells within the medical community as someone passionate about her craft with a genuine love for health and wellness. Her natural love for helping others improve their health and wellness would eventually blossom into a fulfilling career. She has since become a family practice physician regularly offering anti-aging medical treatments using both innovation and advanced technology to provide promising results to patients. Known for going beyond the traditional standard level of care, she prioritizes her patients and their needs to ensure they look and feel their absolute best.
