I highly recommend Sayana Medical because you can find the answers you need to the symptoms that you are experiencing every day and you don't find any solution through them with a traditional doctor.
The breaking point that made me look for help was when I realized that very basic exercises, very basic activities were taking a lot of effort on my part.
I have learned that many things in my lifestyle were hurting me on a physical level so I'm making those changes now with the consciousness that they are good for my future.

The interview

What symptoms were you experiencing before starting treatment?

Four months ago I felt and I experienced a lot of physical exhaustion and muscle pain. I was more like trying to go day by day and at some point I felt I needed to stop and listen to my body because it was giving me signals that something wasn't very good.

What was the breaking point that made you seek help?

The breaking point that made me look for help was when I realized that very basic exercises, very basic activities were taking a lot of effort on my part.

How did you discover Sayana Medical?

I have heard about functional medicine but I didn't know very much about it and I started looking on forums and on the Internet and someone recommended Sayana Medical. I just went on her website and checked out her videos and I felt she was speaking to me.

Did you have any hesitations before joining?

If there was something that might have me been hesitant it could have been the money that you need to pay upfront. I felt it was gonna be good for me because the way she explained to me all of the meaning of my symptoms and how she was gonna greet all of the testings necessary to find out what was wrong with me.

When I had the initial appointment that lasts like around 1 hour and a half on video chat, I felt she was so knowledgeable and she knew so well how all of my symptoms were connecting to each other for different reasons.

What changes have you made to your lifestyle since starting?

What I am doing differently now is paying much more attention to the food I consume, the way I consume it, and the times of the day. Also, how important it is to slow down, take it easy, and take time for resting. I have learned that many things in my lifestyle were hurting me on a physical level.

Why would you recommend Dr. Sayana to others?

I would recommend Sayana Medical because you can find the answers you need to the symptoms that you are experiencing every day and you don't find any solution through them with a traditional doctor. Dr. Sayana particularly is very, very, very thorough and very thoughtful.

Hi, my name is Carla. I'm shooting this video because four months ago I felt and I experienced a lot of physical exhaustion and muscle pain and right now after my treatment with Sayana Medical I feel I am recovering my health and I know why I was feeling that and what I need to do avoid this to happen again. I highly recommend Sayana Medical because you can find the answers you need to the symptoms that you are experiencing every day and you don't find any solution through them with a traditional doctor. Before working with Sayana Medical my life was pretty hectic, I work with kids, Life in Los Angeles can get stressful and I wasn't paying very much attention to my overall well being. I was more like trying to go day by day and at some point I felt I needed to stop and listen to my body because it was giving me signals that something wasn't very good. I am a middle aged woman and I am overall healthy so I knew there was something that I had to pay attention to and find out because something wasn't very well. The breaking point that made me look for help was when I realized that very basic exercises, very basic activities were taking a lot of effort on my part so I have heard about functional medicine but I didn't know very much about it and I started looking on forums and on the Internet and someone recommended Sayana Medical. I just went on her website and checked out her videos and I felt she was speaking to me, she said so many symptoms that I was going through and she said many people don't find responses because they don't have the information look answers that they're going to be helpful for them and she sounded so honest, straightforward, caring and she sounded like a person that I could go speak to her, tell her all of my symptoms and she was going to be actually helping me not saying you are overall very well which is what mostly all of the doctors say. If there was something that might have me been hesitant it could have been the money that you need to pay upfront. I felt it was gonna be good for me because the way she explained to me all of the meaning of my symptoms and how she was gonna greet all of the testings necessary to find out what was wrong with me. When I had the initial appointment that lasts like around 1 hour and a half on video chat, I felt she was so knowledgeable and she knew so well how all of my symptoms were connecting to each other for different reasons. What I am doing differently now that I wasn't before is paying much more attention to the food I consume the way I consume it, the times of the day. Also, how important is to slow down, take it easy, take charge of all of the things you need to do throughout the day and take time for resting and realizing how sometimes the inner engine that we have inside like, go, go, go,go,go is actually not good for our health and also I have learned that many things in my lifestyle were hurting me on a physical level so I'm making those changes now with the consciousness that they are good for my future. I would recommend Sayana Medical to friends or family or relatives because health is not something you can't compartmentalize. but what I'm saying is functional medicine can help you a lot to connect the from the different symptoms that you have and Dr. Sayana particularly is very, very, very thorough and very thoughtful so that's why I would recommend her.
