Sometimes a life that seems to be solidly headed in one direction takes an unexpected turn. Such was the case for one popular local Ob/Gyn who discovered she had more—much more—to offer her patients than traditional obstetrics and gynecology. We’re talking about Dr. Shelena Lalji, medical director of Dr. Shel Wellness & Medical Spa. Board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, she spent over 10 years building a thriving local practice. But as she connected with her patients, she saw a need in so many of them for a wellness advocate who would help empower them to be the best they could be in mind, body and spirit.

Dr. Shel (as she’s affectionately known) decided that being that advocate and impacting lives positively worldwide was her renewed mission. Since then she has divided her time between practicing, writing, speaking nationally and internationally, and educating her male and female patients as well as other medical providers about optimum health through self-care. “Too many women feel guilty caring for themselves,” she said. “But we should be giving ourselves the same care we give our children.”

Self-Care

Consider the safety message flight attendants deliver before commercial airline flights. There’s a reason they instruct passengers to place the oxygen masks on themselves first before helping others. If we don’t oxygenate ourselves first, there’s not much of us left to help anyone else, much less our own children.

In the same way, Dr. Shel teaches and trains men and women all over the world that we cannot spend our days giving, giving, giving to our jobs; to our relationships; to everyone but ourselves until we have nothing left to give. We’ve got to put something back. An expert in the field of anti-aging, wellness and aesthetics, Dr. Shel empowers patients and other medical providers to “put back” through holistic and alternative medicine that which balances inner vitality and outer rejuvenation—because both are important. In fact, Dr. Shel Wellness & Medical Spa is the only medical practice in the Houston area that concentrates equally on both.

Highly-Customized Care

“Our mission is to provide the most innovative integrated medical treatments and the latest aesthetic technology to help patients attain both inner and outer wellbeing,” Dr. Shel said. “Understanding our patients, their symptoms, and their wellness goals, and helping them feel their absolute best is our main priority. Wellness care can never be one-size-fits-all, as each of our patients is a unique individual deserving of highly-customized red-carpet service tailored specifically to them. And that’s what they receive.” Toward that end, Dr. Shel offers a full menu of wellness services from nutrition and weight loss to hormone therapy and more innovative wellness therapies.

Weight Loss & Detoxification

Looking to lose weight and keep it off? Of course you are. Dr. Shel offers fully-customized weight-loss programs including hCG, dietician services, lifestyle counseling, supplementation and detoxification under the guidance of a medical professional. “Any wellness program should include detoxification to improve the overall state of health and well-being through internal cleansing and purification,” Dr. Shel said. “Not only do our patients experience weight loss and all of the noticeable improvements that come along with it, but their overall health greatly improves, with many able to forego medication for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol and more.”

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement

One of the most common issues affecting women’s health today is hormonal imbalance, the symptoms of which can include depression, weight gain, hair loss, insomnia, anxiety, low libido and fatigue. “Many of my patients are told that their symptoms are an acceptable part of aging,” Dr. Shel said. “They may be prescribed medications such as antidepressants or sleeping pills—among other things. I’ve found that once I balance their hormones and thyroid they feel revitalized, energized and sexy once again.” Dr. Shel employs natural, bio-identical hormones individually customized for each patient, rather than synthetic hormones. She also focuses on optimizing thyroid, nutrients, supplements and lifestyle modifications.

Intravenous Vitamin Therapy

Ninety percent of the American population is deficient in key nutrients vital for our optimal health. Dr. Shel advocates Intravenous Vitamin Therapy as a method of feeding essential nutrients—vitamins, minerals and other natural substances—directly into a patient’s bloodstream. By bypassing the digestive system, she is able to facilitate 100 percent absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream, as compared to around 15 to 20 percent in most over-the-counter supplements.

At Dr. Shel Wellness & Medical Spa, she treats conditions including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, migraines, adrenal fatigue, cancer, arthritic pain, allergies and sinus infections—even the common cold—with several types of Intravenous Vitamin Therapies, such as Vitamin C Infusions, Myer’s Cocktail, Skin Brightening IV and Glutathione.

Men’s Health

One of the most common issues Dr. Shel sees in her ever-growing population of male patients is low testosterone or “Low T.” During Andropause (or male menopause), a man’s testosterone naturally declines. He may suffer from loss of muscle mass, weight gain, irritability, insomnia, brain fog, low energy and lower sex drive. “Men are often uncertain what to do about these symptoms and are even reluctant to discuss them,” Dr. Shel said. “We work closely with them to replace testosterone if needed, and help them balance nutrients, lose weight and balance their lives with the appropriate protocols to help them regain vitality, drive and overall wellbeing.”

Sexual Health

60-70% of women report sexual dysfunction and low libido. The unfortunate part is women are told by most practitioners that it is a part of aging and nothing can be done about it. Dr. Shel and her team have addressed this issue for thousands of their patients effectively. “I optimize all of the hormones, including women’s estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid, cortisol and testosterone naturally, so that my patients can get their energy, drive, moods, sleep and sex drive back—this in turn gives them their lives back.”

Dr. Shel is the only doctor in Houston with the Mona Lisa Touch Laser that treats vaginal dryness and performs vaginal rejuvenation in women without any creams, hormones, or pain. This procedure is FDA cleared and is a huge advancement for women’s sexual health.

Gluten & Food Sensitivity

Gastrointestinal issues such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn’s Disease, Acid Reflux and Colitis affect millions of people but can be greatly improved by eliminating reactive and inflammatory foods such as gluten, yeast and dairy. So can chronic fatigue, headaches, brain fog, constipation and other issues. “We conduct thorough and advanced testing to check for gluten and other sensitivities, such as yeast overgrowth and allergies—to determine the true cause of gut health issues and identify the root cause of patients’ symptoms,” Dr. Shel said. “Then we customize a healthy eating program and treat the gut with medical-grade probiotics and necessary enzymes. The results are remarkable. My patients are truly getting their lives back.”

Because Dr. Shel understands that looking your best is an integral part of feeling your best, she offers numerous state-of-the-art aesthetic treatments such as these below:

CoolSculpting®

CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment which freezes fat and reduces volume to eliminate areas of stubborn body fat, including on the abdomen, flanks, and thighs, non-invasively. Depending on the person, 20-37% of fat cells are permanently removed from the area treated by going through natural apoptosis. The procedure is relatively painless, and patients can resume their daily activities immediately.

Micro-Needling

Micro-Needling with Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, is used to treat moderate acne, fine lines, wrinkles, lax skin, burns, scars, broken capillaries and stretch marks, improving the texture and color of skin by encouraging new tissue growth. This treatment reveals incredible results by infusing your own collagen rich growth factors and cytokines back into the skin.

Hair Loss Treatments

After addressing the root causes of hair loss, such as hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, unhealthy scalp and chronic stress, Dr. Shel offers patients the IGrow Hair Rejuvenation Laser. She also offers a special line of natural hair care products and supplements to stimulate hair growth and healthy, beautiful hair.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy aesthetically tightens, lifts and tones skin non-surgically with little risk and no downtime. The only FDA-cleared procedure for non-surgical neck, brow and under-chin lifts, it uses ultrasound energy to stimulate the body’s own collagen to lift and tighten skin. Patients see an incredible result and feel as though many years have been taken off their face and neck… without surgery.

“My mission is to reach as many patients as possible through the art of beauty and the science of wellness,” Dr. Shel said. “These are key ingredients for a vital and balanced life. I consider it a blessing every day to be able to help my male and female patients attain true health and well-being—inside and out—and to make a marked difference in people’s lives… mind, body and spirit.”
