Let's Get Proactive with Your Health
Whether you’re proactively looking to optimize how you age, or you’re frustrated by chronic symptoms and conventional care that hasn’t delivered answers, you’re not alone.
At Shakthi, we work with people at both ends of the spectrum, including those seeking to stay ahead of aging with cutting-edge diagnostics and personalized guidance, and those who feel like they’ve tried everything and are still not getting better.
If you’ve ever felt unheard, dismissed, or stuck in a pattern of symptoms and surface-level treatments, it’s time to escape the vicious cycle.
We provide a personalized plan tailored to your goals—whether that’s peak performance and longevity or finally getting to the root cause of persistent symptoms. You’ll work with a team that listens deeply, takes the time to look beyond the standard labs, and stays on the leading edge of functional and integrative medicine.
You don’t have to stay stuck. You don’t have to settle. Start with a Discovery Call—your first step toward clarity, transformation, and a new path forward.

What Makes Shakthi Different?
What Makes Shakthi Different?
At Shakthi Health & Wellness, I’ve designed a specialized healthcare model that eliminates the typical limitations of rushed appointments and insurance-driven care. This personalized approach gives me and my team the time to truly listen, understand your story, and run the in-depth diagnostic tests needed to get a full picture of your health.
Once we’ve identified what’s really going on, I create a customized treatment plan that addresses the root cause—not just the symptoms. We bring that plan to life through our one-of-a-kind Health Optimization Program.
Within this program, we offer health coaching to support you in making meaningful lifestyle changes. I believe education is key, so I also empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to take charge of your own healing. Over time, my goal is to help you reach a point where you need as little medication or supplementation as possible—because your body is truly healing from the inside out.

Patient Testimonials
Dr. Jyothi Rao recently recommended neural therapy to address persistent pain and discomfort that had not fully resolved with other treatments. I completed a six-week treatment plan that included targeted injections and a nasal spray, and the results were excellent.
I began noticing improvement by the third to fourth treatment, with continued progress each week. In addition to reduced pain, I experienced improved mental clarity, focus, and an overall sense of calm as the treatment progressed.
Dr. Rao was thorough in her evaluation, clearly explained the process, and closely monitored my response throughout the treatment plan. Her staff was professional, supportive, and welcoming. I would strongly recommend Dr. Rao to anyone considering neural therapy as part of a comprehensive, thoughtful approach to care.
