About

Andes Lai, MD is Co-Founder and Group Medical Director of Medkos Health & Longevity and Longevity Clinic Malaysia in Petaling Jaya. She is registered with the Malaysian Medical Council, trained at Crimea State Medical University, and completed AFMCP training through the Institute for Functional Medicine. Her public clinical story centers on metabolic prevention: diabetes affected multiple generations of her family, and her own long-term commitment to low-GI nutrition, exercise, and functional medicine informs the way she leads Medkos protocols.

What to Know

Signature approach

Lai's care model starts with root-cause investigation. Diagnostics look for metabolic, hormonal, inflammatory, microbiome, body-composition, and biomarker patterns, then the plan combines nutrition, lifestyle, supplementation, and clinic therapies around the person's risk profile. At Medkos, her role is to keep the longevity program clinically grounded while still making prevention practical for patients who may be trying to avoid diabetes, cardiovascular decline, or loss of energy before disease is advanced.

What sets them apart

  • Licensed Malaysian medical lead. Her MMC registration and current Petaling Jaya practice location are publicly verifiable.
  • Functional-medicine training. AFMCP training gives her the systems-based lens behind Medkos's diagnostic and protocol model.
  • Metabolic prevention focus. Her family history with diabetes gives the clinic's prevention message a clear clinical and personal anchor.

Before You Book

  • Visit format. Public materials point to in-person care at the Petaling Jaya clinic; telehealth is not presented as the default.
  • Care focus. She is most relevant when metabolic risk, functional-medicine workup, chronic-disease prevention, or a longevity protocol is the main goal.
  • Coordinate complex care. For active specialist issues such as oncology, advanced cardiology, or complex hospital-based disease management, ask how Medkos will work alongside your existing doctors.
  • Pricing is consultation-led. Protocol cost is quoted after the intake and diagnostic path, so ask for a written breakdown before starting treatment.
