Long COVID
As an ICU physician, I witnessed the challenges of long COVID. Functional medicine helps us understand why some recover fully while others don’t, guiding us toward effective treatments for Long COVID and other post-viral conditions.
Cognitive Decline
Preventing cognitive decline is a complex but deeply personal journey—and the earlier you begin, the more powerful the impact can be. We offer a comprehensive, functional medicine approach based on the work of Dr Dale Bredesen. This incorporates personalized genomics to better understand the strongest contributing factors in each individual so we can customize a plan to address them. You’ll also be supported by a ReCODE-trained health coach to help you implement the lifestyle, nutritional, and therapeutic strategies that are essential for protecting brain health and optimizing long-term function.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine is a flexible approach, suited to many conditions beyond those listed. By targeting correctable imbalances, it supports improved health across a range of issues. Schedule a discovery call to see if this approach may benefit you.
Genomics Consultation
We use genomic testing through IntellxxDNA to develop personalized prevention and treatment plans for patients based on their individual concerns. This testing only evaluates gene variants for which we have potential interventions, so everything is actionable. When you can customize a plan to address the unique risk factors for a single individual you can cut down of some of the guesswork, and hone in on treatments that are the most likely to help.

Why Choose Us?
Are you Collecting
Specialists?
Patients with chronic disease can have a range of symptoms that prompt a specialist workups. These can rule out many serious diseases, but may leave you without answers if the workup is normal.
Benefits of Conventional and Functional Medicine
We believe patients get the best results when they can benefit from both conventional approaches and the root cause analysis of functional medicine. My experience practicing in the intensive care unit has highlighted both the life saving potential of modern medicine as well as the need to invest in healthcare and not just sick-care
Education as a Tool for Health
We believe in the Physician-as-Teacher model to empower patients to act in their own journey to health. In support of that, we've created a Core Education Track to provide patients the insight they need to direct their own path to wellness.

Meet Dr. Sattah,
Board-Certified ICU Physician who now helps patients avoid the very outcomes she once treated in the hospital
After witnessing the devastating impact of chronic illness during the COVID-19 pandemic—and realizing how often traditional medicine fell short—she began searching for a more complete solution. This led her to functional medicine, a systems-based approach that investigates and addresses the root causes of fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and more.
Today, Dr. Sattah combines the precision and urgency of critical care with the depth and personalization of functional medicine. She works with patients who feel unwell despite “normal” labs, who want to prevent cognitive decline and actively defend their health, and who are ready for more than prescriptions. Using advanced diagnostics, genomics, and evidence-based lifestyle strategies, she helps them uncover what’s really going on—and create a clear, customized path forward.

Testimonials
DZ
Dr. Sattah has treated me for Long Covid for over a year and I have only superlatives to say about her. She shows extraordinary care and commitment to her patients in many ways. She listens carefully during appointments and explains what the science says about my condition in ways I can understand. She responds quickly to email questions and requests about treatments. She also understands that treating a novel disease such as Long Covid requires setting aside the hours to keep up with the emerging research and networking with fellow Long Covid clinicians. And although she is clearly a brilliant doctor, she treats me as a partner in this process and respectfully considers the options that I have read about on my own.

Best doctor ever!
Dr. Sattah is an incredibly warm, thoughtful, insightful, and VERY SMART doctor. I have seen close to 50 doctors over the past few years, and she stands out as the best! If you are looking for a healthcare practitioner who will show up on time, listen respectfully and kindly, offer new insights based on science, and give you concrete, actionable ideas, make an appointment with Dr. Sattah!

I have worked with functional medicine practitioners in the past with good results, but prior to finding Dr. Sattah, I was offered only generic immune-support treatments and supplements that failed to halt the worsening of my Long Covid symptoms and labs results. In contrast, Dr. Sattah recognizes that Long Covid is a complex disease that requires experimentation and patient feedback to design an individualized program, that for me, is stabilizing my condition while science works towards a cure. If you have a chronic health condition, such as Long Covid, I highly recommend Dr. Sattah.

I have worked with functional medicine practitioners across multiple practices for the better part of the last decade, and Dr. Sattah is one of the best.
I’ve been working with her to improve / resolve / manage my long covid symptoms for over a year now.
Dr. Sattah's patient centered approach starts with a focus on listening and ensuring she understands her patients.
Only then does she begin evaluating and working together with her patients to build a health improvement plan. It was refreshing to have a doctor who truly wanted to take the time to understand my experience with whatever pathology I’m dealing with (compared with so many doctors who simply churn out a quick list of standard next steps based on a quick evaluation).
Dr. Sattah takes both the big and small view of recovery - checking in periodically to ensure whatever plan we’ve come up with is still a fit and working.
And if it’s not, she’s not afraid to get creative - pulling in medical resources from all over to help construct an updated, medically researched, better suited plan for me as needed.
She also sees the human in the equation.
Sometimes she’ll suggest health improvement efforts that I just can’t manage due to [insert a variety of life constraints] and she doesn’t judge. She continues to work with me as a partner in my health journey.
If you are dealing with chronic health issues, Dr. Sattah is an excellent detective and problem solver partner to work with to help you get to better.
