Why do patients start with a Discovery Deep Dive?

At Alaya, we take pride in the results our patients experience through the precision medicine we provide. It's through precision medicine that we are able to zero in on exactly what is happening at a cellular level of every one of our patients, and then treat them in the exact way they need, to reach their personal goals.

That's why every patient begins with a Comprehensive Deep Dive. You spend a full hour with a provider going over your medical history, any current or potential concerns, and what having optimized health means for you.

From this visit, the provider will order a comprehensive lab panel. Once your labs have returned back to Alaya, your provider reviews them in fine detail, getting a full understanding of what's happening at a DNA level.

Then you'll meet with your provider for an additional hour to discuss in detail what your labs are saying and you'll finally get the answers you've been searching for related to your health, and exactly what you can do begin optimizing your health!

Your provider will educate you on things you can change immediately through lifestyle shifts, supplementation (if needed), and if you would benefit from any of the care plans with Alaya, they will share that with you to.

By the time your Comprehensive Deep Dive is complete, you will have a clear understanding of whats happening with your health and exactly what all of your options are moving forward!

Will I FINALLY get answers to what's going on with my body??

YES! And here's why you haven't gotten the answers already and why we're more than confident you will get them at Alaya...

Doctors and providers in traditional medicine receive a shockingly minimal amount of training in root cause and proactive medicine. It's truly unfortunate, but during medical school and even afterwards, there is very little training or attention given to fundamental aspects, such as nutrition, of health. That's how low the bar is in western medicine.

Functional Medicine is a specialty within medicine. For the providers who go down the Functional Medicine path, they receive years of specialized training on recognizing root cause problems (at a cellular level) and how to create root cause solutions.

It's these years of specialized training, education, certifications, and experience that allow for Functional Medicine providers to be able to finally share with their patients why their body is doing what it's doing, and exactly what needs to happen to fix it.

At Alaya, we are functional medicine experts with decades of experience in healing and optimizing our patients in ways western medicine never could.

How can Alaya help me in ways my Primary Care doctor can't?

Absolutely! We LOVE our PCP colleagues and the work they do. But the fact of the matter is, primary care providers are trained and prepared to help with surface level issues such as wellness checks, sick visits, birth control, small cuts, among other similar daily aches and pains of their patients.

Functional Medicine is different and it's what we do at Alaya. For much more detail, see the "Will I FINALLY get answers to what's going on with my body" FAQ above.

How does Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) work?

HRT works by restoring hormone levels that have declined due to aging, menopause, or other health conditions. At Alaya, we evaluate your hormone levels through comprehensive lab testing and create a personalized treatment plan that may include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, or a variety of other methods that are the exact need of each patient. These hormones are delivered through methods such as pellets, creams, patches, orally, or injections. Once balanced, you will experience significant improvements in energy, mood, sleep, libido, and overall vitality.

How do I know if investing in HRT is the right decision?

If you're experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, low libido, brain fog, mood changes, poor sleep, or hot flashes, HRT may be a life-changing option for you!

The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation with one of our providers or start with our Discovery Deep Dive. We'll review your symptoms, health history, and lab results to determine whether HRT is appropriate for your situation. Many of our patients say they wish they had started sooner — but there's no better time to start, than now and prioritize what's right for your body and goals.

What kinds of packages does Alaya offer?

Alaya offers flexible, packages designed to meet a variety of needs and budgets. Our options typically include an initial Discovery Deep Dive assessment, ongoing HRT management plans, weight loss programs, and comprehensive wellness packages that combine multiple services. During your consultation, our team will walk you through which package aligns best with your health goals and budget. We believe in transparent pricing with no surprise fees, so you always know exactly what you're investing in.
