Born and raised in Cali, Hilary always dreamed of shaking it up, but never expected it to happen in the male-dominated Silicon Valley. She made her mark only to burn out and run for the hills (literally). Today, she's proud to have championed a movement that evens the odds for women to relaunch into complete abundance by empowering a mindset to thrive and a skillset to scale their lives and businesses. With a psychology degree in my back pocket, her journey took a surprising turn towards sales… A sphere that now feels like second nature, as the sweet spot in sales was understanding and influencing the hearts and minds of buyers. At 30, she made her first million. She navigated the testosterone-filled terrain of Silicon Valley and climbed the corporate ladder until she was named “Top Account Manager Worldwide”, increasing sales quotas by 500%. In the midst of all this, her world got beautifully upended when she became a mom to twins. That’s when success got a total makeover. From the start of her career, success always seemed to be right at her fingertips… Website: ⁠⁠⁠lorenlahav.com⁠⁠⁠ Follow us at 👇 Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/LorenLahavOfficial⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/iamlorenlahav⁠

Dr Nahas’s private practice in Covington, GA is 45 minutes east of Atlanta, GA. For more than 20 years, Dr Nahas has provided general pediatric care to the children of Newton, Rockdale , Walton and Jasper counties, guiding parents with a holistic touch. In 2016, after observing the growing trend of ADHD and Autism in her patients, she began researching options for the best integrative solutions, in order to recover the health of these patients, as more and more parents were asking Dr Nahas for less medication use, and more natural ways to remedy their kids. Dr Nahas is glad to have found the answers through exploring Functional Medicine, and to be able to now offer a cutting edge approach to managing acute and chronic health conditions , like asthma, eczema, headaches, abdominal pain and an array of autoimmune conditions, as well as neurodevelopmental conditions like autism and adhd. Dr Nahas brings a caring and collaborative, yet no-nonsense approach to regaining health. Her belief is that if we support the natural healing abilities of our bodies, by providing good nutrition, and understanding the immune system triggers so we can remove those harmful agents, then we can restore health without using too many medications which may just cover up the symptoms and don’t really provide a cure. The goal is to get to the root cause of the dysfunction by analyzing what is going on at a cellular and biochemical level in the body, not just at the organ systems level, and put in place a customized program that is as much preventative as it is healing ,to each individual patient. Dr Nahas lives in Oxford , with her husband, 2 teenagers, a dog and 2 cats. In her downtime, she enjoys nature walks, yoga, reading and studying spiritual material, and watching murder mystery or comedy movies.
