Years of experience working in an ER and ICU helped MARA RADEN, PharmD, FAOOT understand that Western medicine as we know it is wonderful at providing acute care, but not so great at treating diseases at their root causes. As a result, she founded Raden Wellness, a progressive, functional medical practice focused on longevity and health optimization. She specializes in innovative IV therapies and longevity medicine—empowering her patients to live happier, healthier, and more energetic lives.

How do you impact your patients?

At Raden, we empower our patients to invest in their health and guide our patients in their journey, giving them a wealth of science-based knowledge regarding their health. It’s integrative medicine—the science of creating health. It teaches us how to optimize the essential functions of our body to create balance. Our patients are those seeking a proactive approach to longevity and come from all walks of life. No matter where you are in life, restoration and prevention are of paramount importance for your health. Our patients’ success in taking the steps—big or small— towards overall wellness enables our success and watching them thrive is frankly remarkable.

What is your fashion style?

Bold, urban, unique, and edgy.

What advice would you give to future Power Women?

Never stop learning, believe in yourself, and listen. While I was working in a hospital setting, I began to use my lengthy commute each day to further my education and understanding of integrative medical approaches. Today, I educate myself through integrative fellowship lectures, podcasts, and books. We often let our own prejudices and judgments get in the way, possibly due to external barriers, past experiences, or something of the sort. Cultivate trust and belief that your past has led you to where you are today.
