SEASON TWO | EPISODE FOUR SAKSHI CHHABRA MITTAL IN CONVERSATION WITH DR. SOHeRE ROKED

In the latest episode of HAK IT, Sakshi Chhabra Mittal sits down with Dr. Sohère Roked, one of the UK’s most experienced hormone and integrative medicine doctors. The conversation dives deep into the importance of hormone balance, the role of integrative medicine, and how a personalized approach to health can help people live fuller, healthier lives.

Dr. Sohère Roked, BMed MRCGP DFRSH DipSIM, has been practicing medicine for over two decades and is widely recognized for her expertise in bioidentical and body-identical hormones. Currently consulting at the Omniya Clinic in London as well as online, she has helped thousands of male and female patients optimize their health through hormone balancing and holistic approaches.

After graduating from Southampton University in 2003, Dr. Roked trained in hospitals across England and Wales, gaining experience in accident and emergency, general medicine, surgery, women’s health, and otolaryngology. She also spent three years working as a psychiatrist before becoming a GP. These diverse experiences gave her a well-rounded perspective on patient care, but she soon realized that conventional medicine often fell short of fully resolving health concerns. 

That curiosity led her to explore integrative medicine, an approach that combines conventional medical knowledge with holistic and preventative practices. Passionate about learning, she studied with the British College of Integrative Medicine and trained under leading experts in the UK, the USA, and Australia. “Medicine isn’t just about treating symptoms,” she explains during the episode. “It’s about getting to the root causes, empowering people with knowledge, and creating programmes that prevent illness before it begins.”

A central theme of the conversation is the role hormones play in overall wellbeing. Dr. Roked has been prescribing bioidentical and body-identical hormones for nearly a decade and strongly believes that hormonal balance is a foundation for health. Hormones regulate everything from mood and energy to sleep, metabolism, and reproductive health. When they’re out of balance, the ripple effects can be wide-ranging, leading to issues like fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, or low mood.

“People often think hormones are just about fertility or menopause, but they’re actually involved in almost every system in the body,” she says. “Balancing them is not just about treating illness, it’s about optimizing how you feel day to day.” By customizing hormone replacement therapies and combining them with functional medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle adjustments, she develops bespoke wellness plans tailored to each patient’s needs.

The discussion also explores the growing importance of integrative medicine in today’s world. With stress, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyles contributing to chronic health conditions, patients increasingly seek solutions that go beyond prescriptions.

Dr. Roked shares that integrative medicine is about blending the best of both worlds: using evidence-based treatments from conventional medicine while also addressing nutrition, sleep, mental health, and lifestyle factors. This broader perspective not only treats illness but helps people achieve long-term vitality. “Conventional medicine is incredible when it comes to acute care, surgery, emergencies, infections. But when it comes to ongoing health, prevention, and wellness, that’s where integrative medicine really shines,” she notes.

What makes this conversation particularly engaging is the rapport between Sakshi and Dr. Roked. They touch upon cultural identity and personal backgrounds, sharing light-hearted moments about how names and appearances often lead to assumptions about heritage. Dr. Roked, of Indian descent, explains that her name is Arabic in origin, sparking a warm exchange about the diversity of India and how globalization has shaped modern identities. These personal anecdotes humanize the discussion, reminding the audience that health isn’t just science, it’s deeply personal.

For listeners, this episode offers more than just medical insight, it provides practical encouragement to rethink their own health. From understanding the vital role of hormones to embracing preventative medicine, Dr. Roked leaves the audience with actionable knowledge. “The goal is for people to listen and think, ‘Wow, 

I didn’t know that. Maybe I should start making some changes.’ Even small shifts can make a huge difference in your health over time,” she emphasizes.

As life expectancy increases but lifestyle-related illnesses also rise, integrative approaches to health are becoming more relevant than ever. Episodes like this shine a light on the possibility of living not just longer, but better, through balance, prevention, and personalized care. For Sakshi Chhabra Mittal, HAK IT continues to be a platform where conversations with experts help listeners unlock practical ways to improve their wellbeing. And with voices like Dr. Sohère Roked, the message is clear: health is not one-size-fits-all. It’s a journey of understanding your body, your hormones, and your unique needs.
