About dr. Lisa
I became a doctor
to heal people.
Then I had to
heal myself.
I know what it feels like to be exhausted despite doing everything "right." To see doctor after doctor and be told your results are normal — when you know, deeply, that something is wrong.
That experience didn't just change how I practice medicine. It transformed what I believe medicine is capable of when it truly looks for the root cause.
Dr. Lisa Silvani
"The body has an extraordinary capacity to heal — when you give it the right conditions and stop treating symptoms as if they were the disease."
— Dr. Lisa Silvani, MD
MY STORY
The Beginning
A doctor who believed in the system
I completed my medical degree with genuine conviction that conventional medicine had the answers. I became a General Practitioner and spent years in clinical practice — passionate about helping patients, following protocols, and trusting the standard of care I had been trained in.
But over time, I noticed a pattern that troubled me. Patients kept returning with the same complaints. We managed their symptoms, adjusted their medications — and yet, they never truly got better.
The Turning Point
When I became the patient
It hit me personally. I was exhausted — not tired-from-overwork exhausted, but a deep, cellular fatigue that sleep didn't fix. I was gaining weight despite exercising and eating well. My mood, my concentration, my sense of self — all quietly eroding.
My own lab results came back "normal." I understood, for the first time, what my patients had been telling me for years. Normal ranges are population averages — not optimal. And nobody was looking at the full picture.
The Evolution
Going deeper into the science of longevity
I enrolled in the Anti-Aging Medicine Master Program, then pursued a Fellowship in Integrative Medicine, and began my Fellowship with the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). I studied mitochondrial function, gut microbiome, nutrigenomics, hormonal physiology, epigenetics and biological aging.
The results in my own health were undeniable. And in my patients, they were transformative.
Today
A virtual practice built on real results
Today I run in-office and virtual functional and anti-aging medicine practice, working with patients across Indonesia and worldwide. I have written two books, appeared on international health podcasts, and built programs that bring this level of care to people who would otherwise never access it.

WHAT I BELIEVE...
The principles that guide everything
01
Root Causes, Not Symptom Patches
Every symptom has an upstream cause. Finding and fixing that cause is the only path to lasting health.
02
You Are Not Your Lab Reference Range
Normal is an average. Optimal is personal. I look for what is right for your unique biology.
03
Science and Humanity Together
Evidence-based medicine practiced with deep empathy. Your story matters as much as your bloodwork.
04
Prevention is the Most Powerful Medicine
The best time to address disease is before it starts. Anti-aging medicine is fundamentally proactive.
BEYOND THE CLINIC
The human behind
the doctor
I am a mother, a reader, a lover of good food, morning light and the kind of conversations that change how you see things. I live in Indonesia, work virtually across the globe, and try every day to practice what I prescribe.
I believe the best doctors are the ones who never stop being students — of medicine, of life, and of the people sitting across from them.
Starts every morning with sunlight and no phone for the first hour. Has a herb garden that she tend every morning. Read ingredients and labels.
Try something new almost daily and believe that changes are possible when we try. Cat moms to 6 cuddly cats.
