The interview

What were the primary health challenges you were struggling with?

I was struggling with very low energy and was very tired all the time. I was sad because of how I was feeling; I was depressed and had anxiety. I had many years of struggling with pelvic floor dysfunction and musculoskeletal issues, which gave me a great deal of discomfort and pain. My gut was also a mess.

What was your experience with previous doctors before finding Yana?

I've been to many, many doctors. Some helped me by pinpointing and giving me a real diagnosis, while others were lost. But generally, they never talk about lifestyle or diet. They're there to diagnose you and medicate you; that's been my experience.

Why did you choose to work with Yana at Atypically Awesome?

I chose Yana because she did testing that other doctors do not do. She did blood work, saliva testing, and urine testing. She developed an extensive plan for me and treated me with supplements and diet. That is truly why I chose Yana over a regular mainstream doctor.

How did Yana support you through the treatment process?

Yana helped me by setting up Zoom meetings, discussing the plan that I was going to use moving forward, and then allowing me to reach out to her if I had any questions. She also developed extensive notes which she provided for me on the app that we use so that I could stay on course.

What surprised you most about working with her?

Yana surprised me by her strict manner in keeping me on course, yet at the same time, her truly being understanding and empathetic to what I needed to get through the process.

What specific improvements have you seen in your health?

My energy levels are increasing and my pain level is manageable. I am able to do more things socially. My bloating is gone and my gut is completely resolved. I lost weight naturally through the diet; I feel lighter and I can fit into my clothes again. I have a lot more energy that is sustainable throughout the day.

What would you say to someone considering working with Atypically Awesome?

Please consider the advantage of having a dedicated professional trained in her field to work on your specific needs without having a thousand people waiting in a waiting room. She is worth it. Yana takes the time out to individualize her plan for you and looks at you completely holistically from head to toe.

Frequently asked

Is the cost of functional medicine worth the investment?

Marie Dolla suggests that if you are willing to invest in your home or condo, you should put that same value into your own body. She emphasizes that the dedicated, individualized care provided by Dr. Yana is worth the cost.

How does Atypically Awesome differ from mainstream doctors?

According to Marie, mainstream doctors often focus only on diagnosis and medication without discussing lifestyle or diet. She chose Atypically Awesome because Dr. Yana uses specialized testing—like saliva and urine analysis—that regular doctors do not perform.

What is the communication like during the treatment process?

Marie notes that Dr. Yana uses Zoom meetings to discuss plans and provides extensive notes through a dedicated app. This allowed Marie to stay on course and reach out whenever she had questions.
