Dr. Bahrou's path through training was her own. She took time away from medical school to raise her first son, and stepped away again before residency for her second. That grounding in real life informs how she practices. She focuses on treating the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. Gut health and digestive disorders hold a central place in her clinical work; she asks every patient about digestive function at each visit. She is passionate about chronic stress, mindful eating, and a body-weight-neutral approach to wellness. Outside the office, Dr. Bahrou tends a hobby farm and makes regular exercise a priority. She currently accepts new adolescent and adult female patients.
