Holistic approach to inform, educate and entertain your audience

Lamia Katbi, MD

Dr. Lamia Katbi is a well-known pediatrician in Northwest Indiana, dedicated to guiding families in raising healthy, mindful children.

Originally from Latakia, Syria, Dr. Katbi pursued her dream of becoming an American Board-certified pediatrician after moving to the U.S. with her family. She trained at the prestigious University of Chicago’s Pediatric Residency Program, later serving as Chief Resident.

Her personal experiences, including overcoming her own struggles. Her holistic philosophy of care led her to write her bestselling book, Just What the Doctor Ordered: The Five Pillars of Optimal Health, which focuses on holistic methods to avoid and treat burnout.

Dr. Katbi enjoys meditation, yoga, and the outdoors. Her motto? “Everyone has a story. What’s yours?”

Dr. Katbi completedly captivated our audience with her honest and open message about her struggle and recovery from burnout. She was engaging and her genuine presentation moved our team. She validated our leader’s current challenges and gave incredible tips to change their mindset, outlook and behavior. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly motivational speaker.

Your presentations (both the TEDx talk and this one) gave me the inspiration and “reset” advice that I needed to hear to begin moving in the direction of re-prioritizing my own health (and feeling no guilt and total empowerment to do so).

I have had the privilege of attending multiple presentations by Dr. Lamia Katbi, and her approach is nothing short of transformative. With deep personal insight from her own experience with burnout, she shares her compelling story and offers practical, actionable strategies to achieve optimal health. Her engaging speaking style and the powerful framework of her five pillars of health have impacted my life and work.
