Functional Medicine Physician, ALS Advocate, Author, Speaker, Devoted Mother, and Caregiver to Husband with ALS
Introduction by Ron Hoffman, CCALS Founder
Join us for an informative and inspirational presentation focused on Functional & Integrative Medicine approaches to living with ALS. Dr. Shel brings 20+ years of experience in the field of Functional & Integrative Medicine to the specific conditions and needs along the path of ALS. Her approach is designed to improve day-to-day quality of life. She sees the body as very mysterious but also amazing, and capable of healing itself in many powerful ways. The Functional Medicine approach to healing is to treat root causes and the body’s ecosystem. As Dr. Mark Hyman, a founder in the field says, “We get rid of the bad stuff, put in the good stuff, and because your body is an intelligent system-it does the rest.”
About the Speaker:
Dr. Shelena Lalji (Dr. Shel) is a board-certified OB/GYN with extensive experience in functional & Integrative medicine, medical aesthetics, and regenerative treatments. After 13 years of practicing traditional Ob/Gyn, she founded Dr. Shel Wellness & Aesthetic Center in Sugar Land, Texas where she treats patients with a root cause, holistic approach and integrative medicine. Dr. Shel is a sought-after international speaker, media expert and trainer for physicians around the world.

In November 2017, Dr. Shel’s husband, Dr. Ayeez Lalji, was diagnosed with ALS. This would cause most to crumble, but Dr. Shel, alongside her family, turned it into a mission and created The Lalji ALS Foundation (www.ALSHeroes.com). In 2021, Dr. Shel and her family established an endowment at The Healey Center for ALS and began the Annual Endowed Lalji Family ALS Award for Innovation in collaboration with Mass General and Healey Center for ALS to identify and support ALS repair and regeneration research globally. Dr. Shel has also created Integrative Medicine protocols to help people living with ALS optimize their gut health, nutrition, lifestyle, detoxification and hormonal health. She has helped numerous PALS have hope and continue in this difficult journey.
