Welcome to Your Integrative Physician 🩺
If you feel stuck in your mental, physical, or emotional health and you feel disappointed in the conventional advice your physician is giving you, you are in the right place.
There’s too much noise and confusing health information out there, and often by non-medical or inadequately trained individuals. Here, you cut through the noise and learn how to actually feel and live better.
Imagine having a sense of power and purpose in your health, moving from being a bystander in your life to living it fully. Imagine feeling inspired that there IS actually a way to thrive through the hardest moments of life or the chronic health challenges of this modern world.
I have spent the last 26 years teaching exactly this to my patients, my small groups around the world traumatized by manmade and natural disasters, new resident physicians and frankly to myself as a human who seeks a way to live well despite the modern stressors and toxic ridden environments we live in. And in this publication, I want to do this for you.

Who I am and why I am here…
My name is Tanmeet Sethi and I am an Integrative Family Medicine MD Physician (for >26 years!), an author, TEDx speaker, teacher, clinical researcher (in psychedelics) and activist.
I have spent the last 26 years delivering babies, caring for them and their parents as they age, sitting with them in their last hours, managing complex addiction and mental health, and doing it all by harnessing not only my excellent conventional medical training but integrating that with my vast expertise in nutrition, functional medicine, mind body medicine, Ayurveda and neuroscience. I have amassed fellowships and expertise in all of the ways health matters but we don’t learn in medical school, then utilizing that expertise with thousands of patients, and I want to share all of that with you.
I never thought I should be called a primary care physician. I should be secondary care. And primary care is all the things you can do for yourself, if you have the knowledge.
I am also an author of a book called Joy Is My Justice (Hachette, 2023) because I believe strongly in the power of Joy as a human right and vastly different than happiness or toxic positivity (which for the record, is harmful!) I have sat in thousands of exam rooms and guided my patients to not just survive, but thrive.
I’m not just another medical expert lecturing to you. I walk my walk. I was nine months pregnant, on top of the world, when my barely three year old son, Zubin, was given a death sentence, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, an ALS-like disease in young boys. My book weaves my own story and stories of countless patients around the world in the most devastating situations with empowering and accessible neuroscience to show that Joy is not only our birthright, but a daily act of reclaiming Justice in our bodies, where it matters most.
Here, I’ll share ancient wisdom, science, and the practical art of living well. I’ll share the things that bring me and my patients Joy, the mysteries and science of Integrative Medicine and psychedelics, and never, the toxic speak of being positive when your life or the world are not. You are not broken, the systems of this world are. It’s time to learn how to live more whole despite that.
