Dr. Inna Conboy speaks with Dr. Tooba Jahangir. Together they discuss: Dr. Jahangir's journey from traditional pharmaceuticals to natural remedies, benefits of holistic health practices, science-backed benefits of common kitchen ingredients like ginger/garlic/ turmeric, and the importance of listening to our bodies.

Dr. Tooba Jahangir is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician who traded clinic days for natural remedies, and never looked back. As a mother of five and a gentle medicine advocate, she blends modern science with ancestral wisdom to help families reclaim their health, one gentle remedy at a time.

She’s the author of the books Healing Protocols, Healing Prescriptions, and Healing Refills. She runs a growing Substack and is the voice behind T by Tooba and The Unconventional Doc , where medicine meets mint tea and modern moms get real options beyond the pharmacy aisle.

Whether it’s making fennel tea in her kitchen or breaking down PubMed studies on garlic, Dr. Tooba’s approach is both evidence-based and deeply rooted in real healing. Expect science, soul, and maybe a story or two about how her kids haven’t touched Tylenol in over two years.
