"Awareness Solves Half of Your Life's Problems" - Tia Maria 164 | Integrative Nutritionist Gut Hormone Specialist.

 

Tia is a double-certified Integrative Nutritionist specialised in Gut and Hormone Health. Her journey into wellness began early, shaped by watching her mother bravely battle breast cancer twice and her father navigate his own health challenges.

 

These experiences sparked a deep curiosity about how the body and mind work together to create balance, vitality, and true well-being. A year and a half ago Tia founded TMD Wellness alongside her social media platforms to share her passion for integrative health and inspire a growing community committed to well-being.

 

 

Through an integrative and holistic approach, Tia’s mission is to empower you at every stage of your journey whether your goal is to optimize your health, cultivate sustainable habits, or restore your health from within.

Hosted by Mo Islam, The Mo Show is a conversation held in English, rooted in the daily rhythms and broader narratives of life in Saudi Arabia. This podcast moves beyond headlines to explore the textures of local society and the diverse cultural currents shaping the region. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair for a candid discussion, where personal stories and thoughtful observations reveal the complexities and warmth of a community in flux. You’ll hear from a variety of voices-locals and long-term residents, artists and entrepreneurs, everyday people with compelling perspectives-all contributing to a richer, more nuanced picture. The conversations are unscripted and meandering in the best way, often uncovering unexpected connections between tradition and modernity, or between individual dreams and collective identity. Tuning into this podcast offers a genuine sense of place, a listening experience that feels both intimate and expansive. It’s for anyone curious about the human stories behind the social and cultural evolution within the Kingdom, presented not as a lecture but as an ongoing, engaging dialogue.
