The OBGYNs Approach to Holistic Health

Discovering the World of Holistic Gynecology

At Women’s Health Group, Obstetrician-gynecologists located in Chicago, Illinois, we are pioneers and advocates for the integration of holistic approaches towards women’s healthcare. Understanding the terrific benefits inherent in holistic health practices, our professional team is dedicated to enriching the lives of women through Holistic Gynecology.

Holistic Gynecology acknowledges the broad spectrum of factors contributing to a woman’s well-being, embracing physical, emotional, mental, and environmental influences. Consequently, we utilize a set of natural and traditional methods to complement our contemporary medical practice.

Why Embrace Holistic Gynecology?

Holistic Gynecology goes beyond addressing symptoms. It seeks to identify underlying causes of health problems, focusing on prevention while enhancing the body’s natural healing abilities. A core principle of this approach is patient participation, promoting active involvement in one’s wellbeing. Key benefits include:

  • Inclusive treatment plans that address physical, emotional, and mental health.
  • Use of natural and non-invasive methods, minimizing a patient’s exposure to chemicals and side effects.
  • Nurturing a strong doctor-patient relationship, emphasizing the importance of individualized care and respect for the patient’s choices.

How Holistic Gynecology Enhances Women’s Healthcare

Our practice trusts in the synergy of conventional medicine and holistic health principles. We believe that a proactive, preventive, and comprehensive approach to gynecological health can foster wellness while addressing specific health concerns.

Through the prism of Holistic Gynecology, we implement a variety of approaches such as nutritional guidance, relaxation techniques, acupuncture, therapeutic yoga, and herbal medicine, among others.

Nutritional Guidance

Diet can have far-reaching impacts on every aspect of health, including gynecological wellbeing. We offer guidance in choosing natural, wholesome diets that can play a significant role in optimizing gynecological health, aiding digestion, improving mood, and boosting immunity.

Relaxation Techniques

Stress has an unmistakable impact on hormone balance, menstrual cycles, and overall wellbeing. Here, relaxation techniques, like meditation or guided imagery, are utilized to manage stress, promoting tranquility and balance.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture, an age-old therapy rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, is used to address a variety of gynecological concerns from alleviating menstrual pains to managing menopausal symptoms.

Therapeutic Yoga

A consistent yoga practice can lead to hormonal balance, mental clarity, and improved circulation, contributing to improved reproductive health and overall wellbeing.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine can provide a natural, gentle alternative for managing women’s health concerns, from relieving premenstrual syndrome (PMS) to alleviating menopausal symptoms.

Embracing the Future of Gynecology

Our commitment to Holistic Gynecology is part of our vision to combine the best practices of traditional medicine with validated natural and alternative approaches to achieve optimal patient health.

We aim for our patients to be active participants in their health, confident in their treatment choices, educated about their bodies, and ultimately, to live well-balanced and fulfilling lives.

Holistic Gynecology is not just a mere trend but a hopeful testament to the future of women’s healthcare. By integrating traditional practices with established scientific methods, we are crafting a future where women’s healthcare is more comprehensive, individualized, and focused on promoting long-term wellness and health.

In welcoming the marriage between time-tested holistic practices and innovative medical research, Women’s Health Group, Obstetrician-gynecologists in Chicago, Illinois, earnestly seeks to revolutionize women’s healthcare, one patient at a time.

Dr. Michael M. Awad

Dr. Michael “Mike” Awad is a second-generation OB/GYN who followed in his father’s footsteps. From a young age, he knew he wanted to become a physician after watching his father build lasting relationships with his patients. Today, Dr. Awad has the unique privilege of caring for—and even delivering the babies of—women his father once delivered himself.

Dr. Awad completed his undergraduate education at Loyola University Chicago, followed by post-baccalaureate research at Harvard Medical School. He earned his medical degree from Midwestern University and completed his residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Loyola University Medical Center.

Dr. Awad loves the practice of obstetrics and gynecology and the relationships he develops with his patients. His philosophy is simple: meet every patient where she is, listen carefully, and make sure she feels understood and confident in her care. He believes exceptional medicine means going beyond the diagnosis to explain options, answer questions, and individualize treatment.

His clinical approach begins with a core principle: the right treatment starts with the right diagnosis. His areas of focus include endometriosis, pelvic pain, uterine fibroids, abnormal bleeding, and high-risk obstetrics.

As a skilled robotic gynecologic surgeon, Dr. Awad emphasizes minimally invasive treatment while recognizing that surgery is not always the first or only option. In obstetrics, he provides individualized care for both routine and high-risk pregnancies, with an emphasis on continuity and close physician involvement.

At Women’s Health Group, Dr. Awad has built his practice around the same values that inspired him growing up: clinical excellence, accessibility, trust, and long-term relationships with patients and their families.
