Christine Bishara, MD is the founder of From Within Medical, a medical wellness practice that places emphasis on the mind-body and gut-brain axis to prevent and manage disease. With over 20 years of clinical experience, time and time again, Dr Bishara has discovered that the connection between these systems plays a significant role in disease prevention and management, but it has not been adequately addressed. Consequently, her therapy involves a multidimensional and personalized approach that addresses multiple physical and biological factors, while focusing on strengthening the body’s immune system. This includes assessment of individual gut health, determination of anti-oxidant levels, and determination of neurotransmitter deficiencies. The role of aesthetics and beauty complements both body and brain. Her individualized treatments incorporate state of the art non-invasive aesthetic procedures and personalized skin rejuvenation. Dr. Bishara is also the creator of the Virtual Peel™– a medical grade face peel consultation that can be done at home through virtual step by step medical guidance so you can achieve the same results as an in-office peel-but from the comfort of your own home.
