Hi I'm Dr. Solmaz!

I’m a physician, board-certified in Lifestyle Medicine, a mom, lifelong lover of good food, and the founder of Enso Lifestyle Health.

My approach to health started long before medical school. I grew up in a Persian and Azerbaijani family where food was at the center of everything. We cooked from scratch, gathered around the table, and used fresh herbs, legumes, vegetables, and healing spices in abundance. I learned early that food wasn’t just about nourishment—it was about family, culture, connection, and joy.

I went on to study Biological Sciences at Stanford University and earn my MD from Jefferson Medical College before completing my training in Internal Medicine. During my husband's years as an active-duty Air Force physician, we moved around the country, and while we were stationed in Virginia, I began teaching airmen and their families how to prepare simple, nutrient-dense meals in 30 minutes through the Air Force Health and Wellness Center. It was an early glimpse of how powerful it can be to give people practical tools they can actually use in their everyday lives.

That lesson stayed with me as I began my career in primary care. I loved caring for my patients, but I quickly saw the limitations of a healthcare system designed primarily to treat illness rather than prevent it. I could prescribe medications and manage disease, but too often there wasn't enough time to help my patients build the everyday habits that could fundamentally change their health.

Then I experienced that struggle personally.

After two difficult pregnancies, I found myself trying to navigate my own path back to feeling like myself. I drew on everything I had learned as a physician—and discovered just how powerful lifestyle medicine could be when you actually have the tools, support, and time to put it into practice.

That experience changed the direction of my life and my career.

I founded Enso Lifestyle Health to help people move beyond simply treating disease and instead build the health, energy, strength, and confidence to truly thrive.

Because I don't believe healthy living should mean giving up the foods you love, following a perfect plan, or starting over every Monday.

I believe it should be practical, joyful, evidence-based—and sustainable for real life.
