Manna Semby's Bio:

Dr. Manna Semby is a passionate and dedicated naturopathic and functional medicine doctor specializing in midlife health, particularly perimenopause, menopause and brain health. Her journey into the world of medicine, health and wellness is both inspiring and deeply personal.

After a successful career in finance and accounting at a big bank in NYC, Dr. Semby’s life took a transformative turn. The diagnosis of autism in her young children propelled her to explore alternative health solutions, leading her to attend naturopathic medical college. Her personal battles with menopause and brain fog following radiation treatment for breast cancer further fueled her passion for midlife health, driving her to specialize in hormone optimization and brain health.

She offers comprehensive 6,9 and 12-month health and wellness packages that include in-depth precision medicine labs and expert guidance to help women reach their health goals, and by extension, their personal and professional goals.

Dr. Semby’s philosophy is simple yet profound: midlife is a time of metamorphosis, an opportunity for reinvention and renewed purpose. Through her compassionate care and holistic approach, she helps super-capable women transform their health challenges into triumphs, enabling them to continue making meaningful contributions and leaving a lasting legacy.
