About

Dr. Olapeju Simoyan is a physician, board certified in family medicine and addiction medicine, with a special interest in the connections between faith and health. She strongly believes that faith and critical thinking are not mutually exclusive. As a female physician, Dr. Simoyan is also interested in women’s issues and writes
about religious abuse and trauma, with a focus on how misinterpretations of biblical texts have led to the perpetration of abuse within church settings.

She has combined her writing and photography in the photobooks, Living Foolproof (a devotional), The Amazing World of Butterflies and Transformation and Recovery, a workbook for individuals in recovery from addictions and other behavioral disorders.
