Member Highlight Dr. Madiha Saeed | | How long have you been a member of HMN?

I am a holistic mom because: I live and breath holistic health. I am an integrative holistic family physician, committed to help healing our families inside and out. My facebook page is HolisticMom, MD. My book The Holistic Rx: Your Guide to Healing Chronic Inflammation and Disease is due to release in October 2017!!! So exciting!!!! I am also the director of education for Documenting Hope, an organization dedicated to heal chronic disease in children. My children work with me to help spread this message of holistic healing. We sing songs about the microbiome and I have educated them on how to keep the "pets in their bellies" healthy with the foods we eat. So much fun!!!! My holistic passions are:
My passion is to educate the world about the importance of integrative holistic health, including physicians and practitioners. Holistic living and targeting the root cause of prevention and treatment of health conditions can be fast, easy, fun, cost effective and CAN be implemented in our busy daily lives to raise healthy happy families! I love, love, love taking care of patients at my clinic in Naperville, IL HolisticMom, MD!!! I have a 100% success rate in improving symptoms and/or healing chronic conditions, and the more complicated the better! I love it!!!! Watching others heal and thrive is what I live for! If I can do it, anyone can!
What inspires you about HMN or holistic living?
After living with multiple chronic issues including autoimmunity for most of my life, I was able to heal myself and now have helped 1000s do the same. I LOVE being in the driver's seat of my family's health. I live this lifestyle and so does my family, so I love the support of other families that have the same passion. Such an amazing community!

|  Safe, Organic Lawn Care! Our services include: - Organic/Natural lawn care - Weed Control - Grub Control - Core Aeration/Overseeding - Tree/Shrub Fertilizing
Organic/Natural Program or Organic Based Blended Program We start by finding out what type of lawn you are looking for, then we come up with a plan to get your lawn to that point.
We then take care of the soil and fix any problems that are preventing your lawn from growing properly.
As we take care of your lawn/soil you will see the transformation from a hard compacted soil with thin grass to a thick, healthy lawn with soil that is full of life and organic matter.
We have a mixture of Compost Tea and Kelp that we spray on our lawns to make them healthy and beautiful without all those nasty chemical fertilizers. Call us! 630-777-2600 |
