Medicine. Making. Meaning.
I’m Kambiz Farbakhsh, but most people call me Dr. Kamy. I’m a physician, entrepreneur, inventor and author. Across these parts of my life, I keep coming back to the same questions: How do we stay well? How do we make choices that feel like our own? And how do we stay connected to one another?
I trained in internal medicine and nephrology. Caring for patients and doing research taught me to listen closely, question my assumptions and be honest about the limits of what we know. My work has included published research on kidney disease and clinical pharmacology, an academic appointment associated with Hennepin County Medical Center, and founding the Life Time Proactive Care Clinic.
That curiosity also led me to build businesses. I helped found GeeVida Health, where my focus is health and longevity. At BaySoft, I work on wearable display technology and am one of the inventors named on U.S. Patent 11,697,301. United Tribes brings together my interests in culture, community and belonging.
Writing gives me room to think about what these experiences mean. Dance with Aging looks at aging and health. My forthcoming book, Human Authorship: The Work of Becoming Fully Yours, asks how we can shape a life that begins with so much we did not choose. I write about these questions in The Architecture of Becoming on Substack.
I don’t believe we can control everything. I do believe we can pay closer attention, question familiar patterns and choose our next step with care.
