Bringing Hope, driven by science. Isabelle Amigues, MD, is a physician scientist with a speciality in rheumatology. She has trained both in Paris, France as well as Columbia University, in New York City. At age 40, in the midst of an existential crisis, she was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. A timely meeting with a non-traditionally trained practitioner taught her a different approach to disease. She experienced the power of meditation, visualization, energy healing and love. Her journey through cancer inspired her to learn more about these alternative approaches, and now that she has studied many of them she has integrated them into her own practice of medicine. Dr. Amigues is the author of multiple book chapters and scientific articles in rheumatology. She is the founder and CEO of UnabridgedMD.

~ About Dr. Sadaf Lodhi ~
I’m a board-certified OBGYN and executive coach for women based in New York. I graduated from the University of Michigan with honors, receiving a Bachelor’s of Science in Biochemistry. I acquired my Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University and completed my residency in gynecology and obstetrics in Michigan. I earned my certification as a life and executive coach from Rutgers University. I am a sex counselor and educator. I am also a menopause society certified practitioner as well as an ISSWSH fellow.
As a practicing OBGYN in New York for over 20 years, my mission has always been to empower and educate women. Most recently I have opened up a telehealth practice serving patients in NY and Michigan for sexual and menopausal health and a private practice to be opening in Summer 2024. I help women remove mental and physical barriers so that they can find pleasure in their relationship. I believe that all women, regardless of their backgrounds, have the potential to live life to its fullest.
