“It is with great pleasure, on behalf of the American Heart Association, that I recommend Dr. Lubna Somjee for her outstanding guidance and leadership. Over the past six years, I have worked closely with Dr. Somjee on a program designed to re-energize women to prioritize their heart health. The program, formerly known as, BetterU, is specifically focused on women recognizing signs of their number one health threat -- heart disease – and taking action to reduce their risk factors.
As a health psychologist and motivating presenter, Dr. Somjee has led multiple seminars to engage, encourage and inspire participants to look at their entire health profile. She is dived deeply into topics including health psychology, identifying internal stressors, and recognizing social determinants of heart health and disease.
Moreover, she’s delivered these tools to participants with kindness and support and connected with attendees by sharing personal stories and anecdotes to support them on their journey.
It has been an honor to consult with Dr. Somjee on this project. I have the utmost admiration for her work, and I look forward to continuing our work together as I personally grow and learn each time I attend one of her presentations.”
