BEHIND THE JOURNAL
Alah Elasmar
RD, LD, IFNCP · clinical herbalist
I'm a Functional Medicine Registered Dietitian and the founder of Made with Barakah, a root-cause nutrition practice for women who are tired of being told their labs are "normal" while they feel anything but.
This journal is where I share the clinical knowledge, functional tools, and honest conversations I wish more women had access to.
