Medicina Personalizada
Personalized medicine clinic in São Paulo combining lifestyle medicine, genetic testing, nutrition, and specialist care
Instituto Assaly Medicina Personalizada is a São Paulo clinic for personalized prevention, with care organized around lifestyle medicine, functional nutrition, post-genomic testing, and specialist consults in one Jardim Paulista practice. Founder and director Vânia Assaly, MD brings endocrinology, nutrology, integrative medicine, and formal leadership in LALMA and ELMO to the clinic model. The flagship Decode You program turns predictive genetic testing into a medical, nutritional, and lifestyle plan, while the wider team supports metabolic health, performance, cognitive health, autoimmune care, and oncology-adjacent prevention.
Assaly starts from a prevention question: what can be measured early enough to change the patient's health trajectory? The clinical model pairs medical and nutrition consults with biomarker review, lifestyle-medicine pillars, and post-genomic interpretation. Decode You is the clearest expression of that method, combining predictive genetics with counseling and a personalized plan for food, supplementation, movement, sleep, stress, and follow-up.

Pricing is quote-gated. Instituto Assaly describes what Decode You includes, such as medical and nutrition consultations, predictive genetic testing, interpretation, and a personalized intervention plan, but fees are handled through consultation rather than a self-service menu. Standard consults, nutrition visits, genetic testing, and follow-up cadence may be priced separately. Budget as a private São Paulo clinic: confirm fees in Brazilian reais, convênio eligibility, payment methods, and what happens if additional labs or specialist visits are added after the first consult.
Insurance: Self Pay
Decode You is Instituto Assaly's flagship genetics-led program. It combines medical and nutrition consultations, predictive genetic testing, interpretation, and a personalized plan across diet, supplementation, and lifestyle habits.
No. Genetic testing is part of the clinical program, but the clinic is a multidisciplinary medical practice. The value comes from how the team interprets results and turns them into a care plan.
Expect the care path to center on the Jardim Paulista clinic in São Paulo. Some individual clinicians may have separate outside practices, but Instituto Assaly itself is best understood as an in-person clinic model.
Confirm language support, pricing in Brazilian reais, and how many visits are needed before you book. Public-facing materials and the scheduling flow are in Brazilian Portuguese.
Convênio handling should be confirmed before booking. Treat the clinic as private-pay unless reception confirms your plan applies.
