——— THE KIND OF MEDICAL CARE WOMEN DESERVE ARÉVIDA is a physician-led virtual functional medicine practice serving women in Florida and California.
We help you understand what your symptoms, history and health data are telling us, what deserves your attention, and what to do next.
Your health
should expand
your life.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You don’t have to be unwell
to want more from your health.
Three different starting points. One goal: knowing what deserves your attention now and what to do next.
Something
doesn’t feel right.
My energy has changed. My sleep isn't as restorative. My cycle, mood, digestion or weight feel different. I'm doing many of the things that used to work, but my body isn't responding the same way.
I want to understand why.
I feel well,
but I want peace of mind.
I have labs and health information, but I don't always know what the numbers mean for me. I want a physician to look at the bigger picture, identify what actually deserves my attention and tell me what doesn't.
I want to know where I stand.
I feel great.
I want to keep
it that way.
I have a lot I want my body to be able to do for a long time. I want to understand my risks, protect what is already working and make thoughtful decisions now that support the decades ahead.
I want to be intentional about what comes next.
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 to find where the barrier may be, then considers what it will take for the change to become sustainable.
Tap through each of the 4Bs to explore the complete ARÉVIDA Lens.
Understanding the body
Biology
Your body speaks in symptoms. Fatigue, weight gain, insomnia, gut distress, inflammation, (and everything else on your list!) — these aren't failures. They're communications. We decode them with precision functional testing and connect them to all of the body systems that are asking to be heard.
What we explore
- Advanced hormonal mapping
- Gut microbiome analysis
- Metabolic & mitochondrial function
- Inflammatory biomarkers
- Nutrient status & detoxification pathways

YOUR CARE
First, understand what’s getting in the way.
Then decide what actually needs to change.
You don’t need to commit to months of care before we understand what you need. Every ARÉVIDA relationship begins with a Foundational Assessment.
START HERE
The Foundational Assessment
A comprehensive physician-led assessment designed to answer three questions: What is happening? Why might it be happening? What should we do next?
Your story comes first.
You’ll complete a comprehensive intake covering your symptoms, medical history, medications, supplements, lifestyle, concerns and goals. I review it before we meet so our visit can begin with context, not data collection.
Get the information worth having.
Your Foundational Assessment includes comprehensive baseline bloodwork. After reviewing your intake, I determine whether additional testing could meaningfully change what we investigate, recommend or treat.
Connect the pieces.
We look at your history, symptoms and results together to identify meaningful patterns, discuss what may be contributing to what you’re experiencing, and determine what deserves our attention next.
You leave knowing:
The findings and patterns I believe deserve your attention.
How pieces of your health that have been considered separately may be interacting.
Including whether additional evaluation or specialty testing would actually be useful.
A prioritized plan based on what we’ve learned, not a longer list of things for you to do.
Your assessment can stand on its own.
You do not need to commit to ongoing care to begin with ARÉVIDA. If the Foundational Assessment gives you what you need, you can leave with your findings and plan.
If we uncover something that would benefit from treatment, monitoring or deeper work, we’ll discuss whether ongoing care makes sense.
Start with the assessment. Decide what comes next after we know more.
Book Your Foundational AssessmentWHEN AN ASSESSMENT ISN’T THE END OF THE STORY
Some things need time to change.
An assessment can tell us where to begin. Ongoing care gives us the time to intervene, observe how your body responds, and adjust as we learn more.
TEST WITH INTENTION
What might we test?
Every Foundational Assessment includes a comprehensive baseline laboratory panel designed to give us a broad view of your metabolic, thyroid, inflammatory, nutritional and hormonal health.
Metabolic health
Fasting glucose · Hemoglobin A1c · Fasting insulin · Lipid panel
Thyroid
TSH · Free T4 · Free T3 · Reverse T3 · Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies · Thyroglobulin antibodies
Nutrient status
Iron · Ferritin · TIBC · Vitamin B12 · Vitamin D · RBC magnesium · RBC zinc · Copper · Homocysteine
Foundational + inflammatory health
Complete blood count (CBC) · Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) · High-sensitivity CRP
Androgen health
SHBG ·Total + Free testosterone · DHEA-S
WHEN YOUR INTAKE IS HORMONE-FOCUSED
A closer look at your hormones
When your symptoms, cycle history or goals suggest that a closer look at reproductive or adrenal hormones may meaningfully inform your care, we may also consider:
Estradiol · Progesterone · FSH · LH · Prolactin · Cortisol
The specific tests and timing are individualized. Hormone results are interpreted in the context of your age, menstrual cycle, symptoms, medications and hormone use rather than as isolated numbers.
WHEN A CLOSER LOOK IS USEFUL
Specialty testing
Your intake is reviewed before your testing is finalized. When your history suggests that more specialized information could meaningfully change our assessment or your care, additional testing may be recommended before or after your visit.
Hormones: Advanced hormone and adrenal testing when a deeper look at hormone patterns may be useful.
Digestive health: Comprehensive stool and microbiome testing when digestive symptoms or history warrant further investigation.
Nutritional + metabolic health: Advanced nutrient, metabolic or organic acid testing when we need information beyond standard bloodwork.
Specialty testing is personalized, optional, and not included in the Foundational Assessment fee. We recommend additional testing when there is a clinical reason to believe the information may change what we investigate, recommend or treat.
HORMONE CARE
Your hormones are changing.
Your care can change with them.
When sleep changes, cycles become unpredictable, your body responds differently, or you no longer feel like yourself, hormones may be part of the picture. We determine whether hormone therapy makes sense for you, what to use, and how to monitor it over time.

What changes when
someone looks deeper.
I cried the first time I met Dr. Ibrahim. No one ever asked me what I believed about my own body. Dr. Ibrahim is the first doctor that took me seriously.
Excellent manner and knowledge. Background impressive and desirable. Thrilled to have an MD with holistic-integrated medicine. She ordered advanced testing that my other doctors wouldn't. I recommend to others including my wife.
It's the conversations about what I carry emotionally that changed my thinking. My lab results started shifting when we started challenging my thoughts and behaviors.
I am very happy with your quality of care and believe your treatment philosophy is in sync with mine. You are compassionate and genuinely care about your patients. You always listen to my thoughts and concerns. You have medical knowledge and insight beyond your years. You are thorough in your approach and good in following up.
Dr. Ibrahim is an asset. She has great communication and cares for her patients. She listens to our health concerns and sets goals to achieve them. I lost 45lbs, reversed my fatty liver, and decreased the doses of my migraine medications.
Please tell Dr. Ibrahim that I love her! I am so serious, I have been praying to the Lord to send me the right medical provider. She is a blessing. I appreciate her. My old medical care has not been great. I recommend everyone I know to her.
