With over 20 years of experience in conventional, alternative, and integrative healthcare. Dr. Jyothi Rao and her team at Shakthi Health & Wellness look to deliver “A Whole-Body Approach” when it comes to assessing and addressing your health.
Many modern traditional doctors look at medication as the only way to treat health concerns and though they have a place in treatment and are often necesary they are by no means the only option. Dr. Rao believes that integrative medicine is more efficient when addressing any health issues.
The Shakthi Health & Wellness whole-body approach looks to use a multi-disciplinary disciplinary approach to tackle your health and wellness more thoroughly. This means they are dedicated to a more in-depth diagnostic process in order to ensure you are given the most comprehensive treatment plan completely customized for your particular needs.

What Is Integrative Medicine?
What Is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative medicine combines conventional medicine and alternative therapies to enhance a patient’s overall health and well-being by focusing on healing the whole body rather than just masking the symptoms of an illness.
At Shakthi, we believe the relationship between a patient and their doctors is paramount. In order to effectively treat our patients, we consider all aspects of your life in order to find the root cause of the illness. This may include your emotional state, spiritual state, lifestyle habits, and other environmental influences that may have an impact on your physical health.
With this information, Dr. Jyothi Rao will develop a personalized wellness plan that incorporates traditional and non-traditional therapies that will help your body heal.

Patient Testimonials
Patient Testimonials
I started by seeing Dr. Sudhir Rao for my Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) Syndrome. I had an accident in July 2010 that caused nerve damage in my ankle. After treatments and surgery, it spread up the entire left side of my body. The only way to describe how you feel is by saying you’re a human pinball machine ? you just never know where the pain is going to be that minute. I had asked about acupuncture because someone had told me that it worked for them. I was at the point of trying anything to lessen the pain because it was getting worse every day.

I am actually a relatively healthy 50-year-old woman. I try to eat well and exercise, but I (like many) felt the creep of age in the form a subtle pounds and decreasing energy. Dr. Rao helped point me in the direction of the correct detox program for me (Core Restore!) as well as the supplements I needed to boost my metabolism and increase my energy! I still need to eat what works for me and avoid the things that don't, and I still have to exercise every day, but my clothes fit better and I have more energy!!
- Shakthi Patients
I came to see Dr. Rao with symptoms of chronic fatigue, abdominal pains, depression, and weight gain. I had seen a couple other doctors and they had found that I had very high inflammation levels and over 15 food allergies/sensitivities. They wanted me to just take prescription drugs, but I wanted more than a quick fix. I wanted my health and my life back! When I scheduled the appointment, I was surprised how by helpful Kelly was on the phone. I didn’t know the details of my insurance coverage and Kelly offered to call my insurance for me. I’ve never had anyone at a doctor’s office do that before.

After visiting the Shakthi website and reading other patient testimonials, I was curious about the wide variety of treatments that were available. I have a very slow metabolism, was fatigued, had insomnia, back pain, and just didn’t feel as well as I wanted to in general. I had more allergic reactions and respiratory issues in the preceding months before coming to see Dr. Jyothi Rao. I had completed three courses of prednisone while under the treatment of my traditional doctor and was fed up with that cycle and was looking for another path.
- Debbie Helman
I was given the gift of Dr. Rao's primary care for Christmas in 2016. I didn?t take advantage of it until March of 2017. My mindset at the time was negative. I had heard about changing eating habits and I felt that I liked the foods I was eating and I was nearly 70, so why change now? After meeting with Dr. Rao and hearing her suggestions, I said I would take it one small step at a time and see what happens.
- Linda J.
I was in the worst shape of my life with depression and anxiety. I had given up. Shakthi provided me with a manageable plan that included supplements, diet, and an exercise program that has transformed my body and given me a new outlook on life. Perhaps the most surprising outcome was learning how to be healthy and have a good relationship with my body. I am now more productive, energetic, and focused. The fog that had been clouding my thoughts has lifted.
