https://padlet.com/sepidehmoayed/about Dr. Sepideh Moayed concurrently serves as the CEO of Preventative Medicine. As a radiologist, she has spent more than two decades observing various patterns of disease and the myriad ways and age groups it involves. She has long been interested in health and the prevention of disease and not mere diagnosis. Her company, Preventative Medicine, aims to look for root causes of disease and not symptoms and signs. Patients who struggle with chronic diseases such as diabetes, emphysema, depression, and use disorder, are educated about the inflammation cascades that aggravate disease states. She helps them optimize their health and obtain the ideal nature nurture equilibrium. As the previous medical director at Mirage Imaging Center in Los Gatos, CA, she had the opportunity to interact with patients. As a Northern California radiologist, she practiced at medical facilities such as El Camino Hospital, Regional Medical Center of San Jose, and VRI. She specializes in Musculoskeletal radiology and enjoys a personalized interaction with patients who benefit from her endless fund of knowledge when it comes to disease prevention and chronic pain. Dr. Moayed completed her radiology residency at the University of Maryland and is fellowship trained in MSK radiology. She been a parent volunteer with the Palo Alto Unified School District since 2014. As a radiologist, she has been alarmed by the irreversible and fatal manifestations of lung injury associated with the use of E-cigarettes or vaping and has hosted multiple educational sessions focused on prevention of nicotine dependence and vaping. She is determined to reach and help as many young people as possible when it comes to nicotine and marijuana-both legal substances. Youth are often confused by the mixed messages they see in social circles and the media. “Their curiosity and thirst for knowing is remarkable and unprecedented.” She considers herself a perpetual student in the school of life. Lately, she says, her greatest teachers have been her teenagers, who “show me and teach me constantly and daily”. Aristotle has said, “Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach”. She opens her mind and heart to what these brilliant young minds know in order to truly understand. en-us 2020-05-27 08:18:05 UTC 2022-02-23 02:33:58 UTC hello@padlet.com sepidehmoayed https://padlet.com/sepidehmoayed/about/wish/2022605968 Board-certified radiologist Dr. Sepideh Moayed is the founder and CEO of Preventative Medicine in Los Gatos, California.

Dr. Sepideh Moayed is an expert in musculoskeletal radiology which includes her diagnostic and interventional procedures when it comes to joints, soft tissues and osseous structures of the body. Both inflammatory and osteo arthritis have been on the rise significantly these past few years and it is believed to be due to increased incidence of our SAD (Standard American Diet) diet, increased environmental toxins and worsening sedentary lives. For many years, osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthropathies were believed to be caused by different pathways. Although the underlying etiologies and involved joints differ, there are many areas of cross over when it comes to joint tissue damage. As someone who utilizes functional medicine, Dr. Sepideh Moayed says that we used to believe osteoarthritis, is caused by old age, the wear and tear or weight load on a specific joint that caused the damage. Today however, evidence based studies show that increased visceral fat cells in the abdominal cavity (not just the subcutaneous fat) or inflammation inducing diets release inflammatory markers known as adipokines. These inflammatory agents (often triggered in the gut or areas away from the joint), cause systemic inflammation. They cause joint specific cartilage destruction from remote areas of the body. These cascades of events cause joint destruction and are often exacerbated by diets that lead to a high load of inflammasomes.]]> 2022-02-10 00:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sepidehmoayed/about/wish/2039110218 sepidehmoayed https://padlet.com/sepidehmoayed/about/wish/2061749358 As a board-certified musculoskeletal radiologist, Dr. Sepideh Moayed is an expert in preventative medicine, a field she has been working in for over two decades.
