PHYSICIAN-LED FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Medicine that asks why.
Your symptoms don’t happen in isolation. Neither should your care.
We take your symptoms, history, labs and the patterns you’ve noticed in your body and look at them together. Then we determine what may be contributing, where change is getting stuck, and what deserves our attention first.
COMMON REASONS WOMEN COME TO ARÉVIDA
What we commonly evaluate.
You don’t need to know which system is responsible before you arrive. That’s part of the work we do together.
Hormones + menstrual health
Irregular or absent periods, changing cycles, PMS, PMDD, PMOS, hot flashes, poor sleep, libido changes, and symptoms related to perimenopause and menopause.
Fertility + preconception
Preparing for pregnancy, trying to conceive, and understanding the hormonal, metabolic and nutritional factors that may be affecting reproductive health.
Postpartum health
Fatigue, nutrient depletion, thyroid and hormone changes, metabolic health, sleep and the physical demands of recovery after pregnancy.
Metabolism + weight resistance
Changes in weight or body composition, insulin resistance, blood-sugar concerns and the feeling that what used to work no longer does.
Thyroid health
Thyroid symptoms, abnormal testing, autoimmune thyroid disease, medication questions and persistent symptoms that warrant another look.
Energy + fatigue
Low energy, afternoon crashes, poor recovery, brain fog or fatigue that sleep alone isn’t resolving.
Digestive health
Bloating, bowel changes, reflux, food reactions and persistent digestive symptoms affecting how you eat or live.
Sleep + recovery
Difficulty falling asleep, waking overnight, early waking, non-restorative sleep and poor recovery.
Brain + mood
Changes in concentration, anxiety, mood, resilience or the way your brain and body respond to stress.
Healthy aging + longevity
Cardiometabolic health, bone health, muscle preservation, cognitive health and protecting the capacity you want for the decades ahead.
INTERCONNECTED SYSTEMS
One symptom can belong to more than one system.
The location of a symptom doesn’t always tell us where the problem began. That’s why we don’t start by assuming which system is responsible.
We look for the pattern.
OUR FRAMEWORK
The ARÉVIDA Lens.
When something isn’t changing, the question is where it’s getting stuck. The ARÉVIDA Lens looks at your biology, beliefs and behaviors, then considers what it will take for the change to become sustainable.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR BODY?
Biology
Is there something physiological making change harder? We look at your symptoms, history, medications, labs, hormones, metabolism, nutrition, sleep and other relevant systems to understand what your body may need.
WHAT WE MAY EXPLORE
- Hormones + reproductive health
- Thyroid + metabolic health
- Nutrient status
- Digestion + microbiome
- Sleep, inflammation + recovery
TEST WITH INTENTION
More data isn’t always more useful.
Testing should answer a question, not create more noise. We choose labs based on your history, symptoms and goals, and whether the result could meaningfully change what we do next.
Sometimes comprehensive bloodwork gives us what we need. Other times, specialized hormone, digestive, nutrient or metabolic testing may be worth considering.
The goal isn’t to test everything. It’s to know what deserves testing.
EVERYONE STARTS HERE
The Foundational Assessment.
The goal is clarity.
You don’t have to keep sorting through symptoms, lab results and conflicting advice on your own. We determine what may be contributing, what deserves your attention now, and what doesn’t. You leave with a physician’s perspective on the bigger picture, a clear place to start, and a plan built around you.
CLARITY, BEFORE MORE GUESSING
Bring me the pieces. We’ll make sense of them together.
You may come in with years of symptoms, lab results, things you’ve tried, or conflicting advice. You don’t need to know what matters—or how it all fits together—before you get here.
That’s my job.
START YOUR ASSESSMENTYOU LEAVE KNOWING
What stands out.
The findings in your history, symptoms and labs that deserve our attention first.What may be connected.
The patterns that help explain why seemingly separate symptoms may not be separate at all.What we know—and what we don’t yet.
Where we have enough information to act and what may still need clarification.Where I would start.
What deserves attention now, what can wait, and what we can put down entirely.AFTER YOUR ASSESSMENT
Your assessment can stand on its own.
Some women leave with the clarity and plan they need.
Others benefit from continued care as we put the plan into practice, see how your body responds, and make adjustments along the way.
When ongoing care makes sense, there are two ways we can continue.
SIX-MONTH COMPREHENSIVE CARE
Investigate.
Treat.
Reassess.
Six months gives us time to treat what we uncover, see how your body responds, and adjust based on what we learn.
Forty-five minute visits scheduled according to clinical need to assess progress, review results and refine treatment.
Nutrition, movement, sleep, recovery, supplements, medication and hormone support when appropriate.
Testing is ordered or repeated when the result could help us decide what to do next.
Messaging for brief clinical questions and clarification related to your active treatment plan.
Additional physician visits can be added when your clinical needs require more support.
Best suited for: women whose primary work is medical, hormonal, metabolic, nutritional or lifestyle-focused and who want physician follow-through while we treat, measure and adjust.
12-MONTH ARÉVIDA MEMBERSHIP
The deepest level
of partnership.
Twelve months gives us time to keep refining your medical care while working on the other places change can get stuck: your beliefs, your behaviors, and Becoming—the identity work that helps these changes become a natural part of how you live.
This is for women who want the most access to Dr. Ibrahim and someone beside them through the deeper work: a physician who knows the full story, notices the patterns, helps you course-correct, and champions the woman you’re becoming.
Change is different when someone is there long enough to witness it.
READY TO BEGIN?
Start by understanding what deserves your attention.
You don’t need to know which system is responsible or what kind of ongoing care you need. The Foundational Assessment is where we figure that out together.
