Investigative medicine. Built around your biology.

We do not treat symptoms in isolation. We investigate the systems behind them.

01

Detailed Clinical Assessment

Dr. Tasmia conducts an unhurried review of your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, hormones, gut function, metabolic status, and mental and emotional state.

02

Targeted Diagnostic Testing

Evidence-based functional testing, selected for your specific presentation. We measure hormones, gut markers, metabolic function, and inflammation. Each test is chosen to answer a specific clinical question.

03

A Treatment Plan Built From Your Results

Your health goals drive the protocol. Nutrition, lifestyle, supplementation, and clinical support, configured for your markers. Conventional medication included where clinically indicated.

Areas of care

Some of the core areas we assess as part of your clinical evaluation.

Cardiovascular risk is rarely just cholesterol. ApoB, Lp(a), blood pressure, and inflammatory
markers together reveal what standard lipid panels miss. We measure what standard panels overlook and build a protocol from the results.

Metabolic health & weight

Difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise is frequently a metabolic problem. Insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction develop silently, and left unaddressed, compound into cardiovascular and cognitive complications. We measure where the system is under strain and build a protocol from the results.

Hormonal health

Thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones interact across the whole system. Fatigue, mood changes, weight gain, disrupted sleep, and irregular cycles are often connected to specific hormonal imbalances. We test the full panel and treat what the data shows.

Gut health & microbiome

Bloating, abdominal discomfort, reflux, and irregular bowel function are not inconveniences. They signal dysfunction in the gut that requires investigation. We identify what is driving the symptoms and treat the system behind them.

learn more →

Cognitive & energy health

Chronic fatigue, brain fog, low energy, and irritability have measurable biological causes. We assess what is driving the dysfunction in your body's energy production and cognitive function, and address it at that level.

Longevity & prevention

Advanced health assessments paired with structured programs in nutrition, movement, and recovery. Maintain cardiovascular function, strength, and mental clarity as you age. Stay active, sharp, and independent.

Women's health

Women's health is not limited to hormones or menopause. Cardiovascular risk, gut function, mood, energy, and nutrient status all present differently in women than in men, at every life stage from adolescence to menopause and beyond. We assess and treat women's health as its own system, in its own right.

Areas of care

Metabolic health & weight

The scale is the last thing to move and the least useful thing to watch. The pattern shows up in your blood first.

What this often looks like

  • Weight that returns no matter how consistent the eating and the training are
  • A blood sugar spike after a meal and a crash a few hours later
  • Cravings that feel physical rather than mental
  • A waist that keeps growing while the scale stays still
  • Type 2 diabetes or heart disease in the family

What we look at

The Weight & Metabolic Optimisation panel. Fasting glucose and HbA1c, a full lipid profile, liver function, a complete thyroid panel and morning cortisol, plus the markers a routine checkup leaves out: fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, ApoB, leptin and uric acid. What we are looking for is a pattern, not a single number: blood sugar spikes, insulin dysregulation and stubborn weight.

What happens next

A physician goes through the results with you in a consultation. You are not emailed a lab report to interpret on your own. Nutrition and movement are planned from the same results, with a dietitian where that helps.

Areas of care

Hormonal health

Normal results and real symptoms are not a contradiction. They are the reason to look properly.

What this often looks like

  • Sleep that no longer restores you
  • Cycles that have changed in length, flow or symptoms
  • Mood, motivation or patience that is not what it was
  • Loss of strength, libido or the ability to recover from training
  • Being told everything looks normal while knowing that it is not

What we look at

FSH, LH, oestradiol and progesterone, total and free testosterone with SHBG, DHEA-S and prolactin, a complete thyroid panel including antibodies, and vitamin D, ferritin and HbA1c alongside them. Morning cortisol and a DUTCH OAT where they add something. If your cycle is still regular, the clinic confirms which day to test, because the day changes what the numbers mean.

What happens next

Results are read against your symptoms rather than against a reference range alone, and walked through with a physician. Perimenopause is assessed here inside a clinic that also handles nutrition, movement and metabolic care, by the same team.

Areas of care

Gut health & microbiome

Years of putting up with it is the most common history we hear. It is not the only option.

What this often looks like

  • Bloating after most meals, not only heavy ones
  • Constipation or loose stools that have come and gone for years
  • Foods you have quietly cut out without knowing why they bother you
  • Fatigue or skin symptoms that seem to track with your digestion
  • Tests that came back borderline or normal while the symptoms stayed

What we look at

The Gut Health & Digestive panel. A blood count with CRP and ESR, a coeliac screen, H. pylori and liver function, and then the functional layer: comprehensive stool analysis with microbiome mapping, an intestinal permeability marker, and a food sensitivity panel where it is useful.

What happens next

A physician reviews the results with you, with nutrition or dietitian follow-up where it is indicated. Gut, energy and hormones are read together, because in most people they are not separate problems.

Areas of care

Cognitive & energy health

Tiredness that sleep does not fix is not a personality trait, and one normal thyroid test does not settle the question.

What this often looks like

  • Waking as tired as you went to bed
  • Brain fog, or losing the thread in the middle of a sentence
  • Hair thinning, feeling cold, or weight that changed without explanation
  • A thyroid test that came back normal while the symptoms carried on
  • Training that used to lift your energy and now flattens it

What we look at

TSH together with free T3 and free T4, rather than TSH on its own. Thyroid antibodies, ferritin, vitamin B12, folate and vitamin D. Reverse T3 and morning cortisol where they add something to the picture.

What happens next

A physician correlates the results with your symptoms rather than screening them against a reference range, and tells you which layer to address first.

Areas of care

Longevity & prevention

Nothing is wrong. The point is to know which numbers matter for you, and to watch them long enough to see a direction.

What this often looks like

  • A parent's diagnosis that made you think about your own timeline
  • Training and eating well without knowing what it is doing to your markers
  • A one-off screening that produced a PDF and no follow-up
  • Results inside the range that have been drifting for years
  • A watch or a ring collecting more data than anyone has ever interpreted

What we look at

Markers chosen for your risk rather than a general check. ApoB and ApoA1 at particle level, Lipoprotein(a) as a once-in-a-lifetime baseline, homocysteine, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, hsCRP for vascular inflammation, and a complete thyroid and iron picture.

What happens next

A risk-stratified summary rather than a raw lab report, and the same markers repeated later so the change is visible. Nutrition, movement and recovery are planned against those numbers. We only claim what we measure.

Areas of care

Women's health

Too often the reference point is wrong, the conversation gets steered back to fertility, and the question you came in with goes unanswered.

What this often looks like

  • Symptoms explained away as stress, or as a normal part of your age
  • Perimenopause you suspect and nobody has assessed
  • A family history of heart disease that has never been factored in
  • Weight, sleep and mood changing together and being treated separately
  • Results that came back normal while you knew that they were not

What we look at

The panel that fits the question you are asking, rather than a general check applied to everyone. For perimenopause that means the full hormone picture with thyroid and cycle timing accounted for. For cardiovascular risk it means ApoB and Lipoprotein(a) rather than cholesterol on its own.

What happens next

A physician reads the results against what you are actually experiencing. And because nutrition, physiotherapy, podiatry and metabolic care sit in the same building, what comes next does not mean starting again with a stranger.

A different approach

Conventional medicine is built for acute illness. It identifies what is wrong and treats the symptom. Functional medicine is built for something different: understanding what the symptom is connected to, and why it is presenting in this patient, now.

At Orya, every consultation starts with time. Time to take a full clinical history. Time to run the right tests. Time to build a protocol that treats the system behind the symptom. The result is treatment that is effective, safe, and specific to your biology.

Listen
deeply

Initial consultations are 45 minutes. Time to take a full clinical history. Time to understand the complete presentation.

Test, don't
guess

Advanced diagnostic panels across hormones, gut health, metabolism, and inflammation. Every protocol starts with your results.

Treat the
system

We address the underlying dysfunction beneath the symptom. A systems-based approach makes your improvements last.

Measure what
matters

Outcomes are tracked by precise and evidence backed biomarkers. Progress is measured, not assumed.

What patients say about Orya

Reviews from across the clinic.

"I went to see a Chiropractor for the first time and chose Optimal as Dr. Stefan had great reviews. I suffered lower back pain for 5 years and in 2 sessions I was back to normal! Great service at the clinic and appointments were timely!"

Anisa Chatur Keenan

"We received first aid training from Carol at Opitmal. She was super friendly, very knowledgable and enthusiastic. The training was well paced for both my nanny and I. We were able to do as many practices as we needed. Carol answered lots of practical questions we had about various different first aid scenarios and how to manage them. We completed first aid for adults children and infants. It was also really reasonably priced as it can vary widely in Dubai. Thanks Carol for getting us skilled up."

Jayde Emma

"Very clean and professional clinic ! Like the way how they communicate with me through WhatsApp will recommend to friend and family."

Aisha Wang

“Had a fantastic time with Crystal. She is an amazing therapist that has helped me tremendously. I can highly recommend her for anyone that needs an occupational therapist."

Alexandra Aster Akinbiyi

"I had been to four different specialists with no resolution. Orya identified the hormonal and metabolic drivers in one assessment. The care has been continuous and genuinely transformative."

Frequently asked questions

Still curious? Our care team is happy to walk you through anything before you book.

What is functional medicine?
 

A clinical approach that investigates the biological, environmental, and lifestyle factors behind a health condition, rather than treating symptoms in isolation. The goal is to understand what the symptom is connected to and address it at that level.

Do I need a specific condition to book?
 

No. Functional medicine is not only for illness. Many patients book to take a proactive approach to their health: prevention, energy, metabolic health, and longevity. You do not need a diagnosis to start.

I am already on medication. Is this still relevant?
 

Yes. Functional medicine works alongside conventional treatment. Dr. Tasmia reviews all current medications and conditions before building any protocol, to ensure it is safe and complementary to your existing care.

Is this suitable for both men and women?
 

Yes. Treatment plans are built around individual biology, health history, and clinical goals.

What health concerns does functional medicine address?
 

Fatigue, weight management, gut health, hormonal imbalance, metabolic health, inflammation, sleep, chronic pain, cardiovascular risk, and preventive health. The common thread is investigating the system behind the symptom.
