In this episode of Mental Matters, host Asekho Toto sits down with Dr. Tamar K. Lawful, a pharmacist, nutrition health coach, and advocate for personalized wellness. Together, they explore how genetics and nutrition intersect, why traditional medicine often overlooks root causes, and how lifestyle changes can transform health outcomes.
Dr. Lawful shares her journey from working long shifts in pharmacy to creating InnerGlow, a coaching program designed to help women reclaim their energy, health, and confidence. She explains how nutrigenomics can reveal hidden predispositions to conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and vitamin deficiencies—and how simple changes in diet, stress management, and self-care can prevent illness before it starts.
Beyond the science, this episode also dives into the meaning of self-care, the dangers of perfectionism, and why self-compassion is crucial for long-term wellbeing. Dr. Lawful’s message to healthcare professionals is clear: you don’t always have to leave the profession—sometimes you just need to pivot and redefine how you use your skills to make a lasting impact.
Whether you’re passionate about health, struggling with balance, or looking for hope in your own wellness journey, this conversation is full of insights you won’t want to miss.
