About Ananda Integrative Medicine

What is Ananda Integrative Medicine?

Ananda Integrative Medicine is an integrative and functional medicine practice at 9415 Culver Blvd, #56, Culver City, CA 90232. It also serves West Los Angeles, Venice and Marina Del Rey. Reshma Patel, PA-C, is the founder and the only prescriber named. Reshma Patel is listed as board certified by NCCPA and as trained at LifeSpan Medicine, Sollis Health and LifeForce. The practice's background is listed as 25+ years combining emergency medicine expertise with functional medicine. Google lists the clinic at 5 stars from 15 reviews, under Holistic medicine practitioner.

The practice is mainly hormone and longevity medicine. It offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, testosterone therapy and menopause care, along with a longevity program built on genomics, continuous glucose monitoring and 80+ biomarker testing. In its own words: "Science-backed hormone optimization using plant-derived hormones identical to your body's own". It also offers a weight loss program called Precision Metabolic Optimization and a peptide education and support service. Telehealth is offered to patients in California. Whether patients can visit the Culver City office in person is not stated. The phone number is (424) 259-2089.

What does it cost?

The only published price is for a hormone evaluation, listed as "Schedule Your Hormone Evaluation ($250)." It does not say whether that fee covers medication, whether it is a one-time charge, or whether follow-up visits are included. It does not publish prices for weight loss, peptide or longevity care. It also does not say whether insurance is accepted.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $250 evaluation includes any medication, and what a prescription costs on top of it. Ask whether hormone prescriptions are brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills them. Ask who signs your prescriptions and whether Reshma Patel handles your follow-up. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since functional medicine testing and the biological age assessment are sold as separate services. For weight loss, ask which medication is included, because GLP-1 care is mentioned but no medication is named. For peptides, ask whether the service means a prescribed treatment or education only, since the therapies it discusses are described as not FDA-approved for the conditions mentioned. Finally, ask about insurance, in-person visits, office hours (none are listed) and how cancellation works.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in California, want hormone or longevity care from a PA-C named as the prescriber, and are ready to get the medication, lab and follow-up costs in writing before you book.
