After 13 years of rigorous clinical oncology practice at the leading cancer treatment center in Egypt and in collaboration with Institute Gustave Roussy in Paris, Dr. Wafaa decided to establish AWARE clinic, the first-ever foundation for Functional Medicine Awareness & Prevention in the Middle East and Africa, back in April of 2014 where she acts as CEO of the clinic.
Pursuing her new career and passion in Functional Medicine in collaboration with The Institute for Functional Medicine, IFM, USA, She works with her patients to encourage positive lifestyle modifications, as she is a firm believer in following reliable methodologies and individualized protocols. Each patient’s circumstances are uniquely different and should be treated specifically to meet their own needs.
Throughout her career and academic inquiries, she has intimately analyzed the metabolic approach to cancer with Dr. Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO, which has allowed her to apply metabolic methods to treat various diseases effectively in addition to cancer.
Dr. Wafaa is the first certified Functional Medicine Doctor in Egypt and the Middle East. She is also a certified international health coach from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, IIN, USA, which empowers her to closely establish the confidence and empathy needed to work with her patients.
In the future, Dr. Wafaa hopes to expand the accessibility of Functional Medicine in Egypt and the Middle East to provide world-class treatment options and education to the region and around the world. Dr. Wafaa anticipates a future where chronic disease epidemics, including cancer, are alleviated in the global population and is excited to participate in the medical advancements made in her medical field every day.” social_icon_3=”fa fa-linkedin-square” social_link_3=”https://www.linkedin.com/in/wafaa-abdel-hadi-a0b41157/?fbclid=IwAR1O_4VTksctNL8zAZT5FYUzpOy1Gtk2aFfwwkNWF8lHO2rWhNq2Ru_tG4Q”][/team_member][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][team_member image_url=”5853″ bio_image_url=”5853″ team_memeber_style=”bio_fullscreen” image_loading=”default” team_member_bio_full_html=”simple” name=”Patricia Daly NT” job_position=”Nutritional Therapist” team_member_bio=”Patricia Daly NT
