Noor Al-Humaidhi, MD

Noor Al-Humaidhi, MD, is a board-certified family physician. She has extensive experience as a PCP, hospice provider and elderly medicine provider. Dr. Noor has always loved nutrition and exercise. Originally from Kuwait, she attended medical school in Dublin, Ireland, completed her residency in the U.K., and overcame the hurdles of State Licensing and Specialty Boarding here in the U.S.

Although Dr. Al-Humaidhi always had an entrepreneurial spirit, she’d never had the opportunity or belief in a business idea to take it to the next level. But a few years ago, she developed what turned out to be perimenopausal symptoms—although she didn’t know what she was dealing with at the time and thought she was crazy. 

Sleep issues, debilitating fatigue, brain fog, inability to concentrate, irritability, itching all over…the list goes on and on. At the time, Dr. Al-Humaidhi suspected long COVID. She saw many doctors and tried various medications.

One day, she saw something online that spurred her “AHA!” moment. She realized she was likely in perimenopause. Despite being a family physician for many years, this possibility had never crossed her mind, and she knew little about menopause. In fact, she still believed that hormone therapy causes cancer. 

However, Dr. Al-Humaidhi’s symptoms drove her to dive in and soak up as much research as possible. She joined the Menopause Society (formerly the North American Menopause Society). She went to the conferences, read the books, took the test—and the knowledge she gained blew her mind. 

That’s when she learned that so few practitioners provide menopause care, and hardly any provide the education and data that midlife women and men need. Dr. Al-Humaidhi’s journey inspired her newfound passion, and Lifestyles By Noor was born.
