Back to Myself

Sometimes, life takes us through difficult times, and those moments often become defining for better or worse.

For me, 2024 was such a time. The storm brewing in my life for over a decade finally broke. The call for change that I had never truly embraced was inevitable.

I had been feeling lost for a long time. I prayed that moving to the US would help me find myself again, believing that a fresh start could stop the dread I felt every morning waking up from the feeling that nothing ever felt good enough, no matter what I did.

Little did I know that this new path would force me to face myself, bring out the best and the worst in me, and lead to experiences and lessons I could have never imagined.

And then Covid came. For me, it changed everything. I became sick in February of 2020. The isolation, helplessness, and mortality I felt were overwhelming. Friends would leave food and groceries at my doorstep, not enough strength or breath to even speak to them through the open window. Doctors were not answering calls or telling me my issues weren’t severe enough—hours spent outside Urgent Care and the drive back on the eerily empty roads without being seen. Finally, I had to be admitted to the hospital, which marked the beginning of a long recovery journey.

Slowly, as my health started to improve and my body was no longer in a constant state of fight or flight, I began to see more clearly and found my entire belief system shaken at its core.

I always felt an affinity for a more holistic perspective of human health—one that is more about the person than the “problem” and recognizes that our experiences, thoughts, lifestyles, and environment shape our health as much as our biology and genetics because they are one and the same. I knew that belief to be true because of my direct experience.

Somehow, that realization changed everything. It reminded me of my vocation and what drove me all those years before I became who I had become. Confronting the reality of what I had forgotten and the damage it caused was difficult. I was filled with shame and sorrow, but also gratitude as I rewatched my life playing out, this time through the eyes of that most authentic version of myself.

 The greatest ambition of that version of me has always been to integrate science with empathy and tradition. That is why I went to medical school, and that is why my happiest moments were when my patients wrote me letters to thank me for making them feel seen—when I could make a difference for the better in another person’s life.

It seems natural to reclaim that version of me now, to finally take a leap of faith and to share my experience of the healing journey as one of reflection and self-discovery, to take all that I have learned in my personal and professional life and bring it all together in a way that resonates most authentically with my sense of purpose.

That is what brings me to this day, and the decision to launch my practice at www.fabiomagrini.com where I share my most authentic self and honor my sense of purpose integrating all aspects of my life experience in service of those who feel aligned to my perspectives.

My work is aimed at those who wish to reconnect with their sense of purpose, balance, resilience, and authenticity. Complementing my background in clinical and pharmaceutical life sciences with life and spiritual coaching, and integrative healing practices, I offer a grounded approach that merges traditional wisdom with modern science, rooted in my professional and personal journey shaped by life challenges and health struggles.

I would love to hear from you, whether we never met or we have lost each other over the years, and I invite you to be on the lookout for more chapters of my blog where I share my perspectives on human health and the human condition.

Thank you for your support as I step into this new chapter.

Warmly,

Fabio
