We begin with you, then use targeted testing when deeper biological insight can help us make better decisions.

It starts with understanding you.

Before looking at data, we take the time to understand your goals, symptoms, health history, lifestyle, environment and everyday reality. This context helps us know what matters, what to investigate and where to focus.

Act

From Data to Action

Change happens through the things you can influence every day:Nutrition · Movement · Sleep · MentalWe turn your biology, goals and lifestyle into personalised, science-backed actions that shape how you feel, function and age:

Nutrition

01

Nutrition & Supplements

What you eat, and what your body can actually absorb. Food is the first intervention, with supplementation targeted to what your biology needs rather than added by default.

Lifestyle

02

Movement

Strength, capacity, and how you move through the day

03

Sleep & Recovery

The hours that decide how everything else performs

04

Stress & Mental Well-being

Mental and emotional load, managed rather than endured

The foundations are universal. The strategy is personal.

Build

Build health that lasts.

Better health is not a protocol you follow once. Over time, we help you understand your body, turn actions into sustainable habits and adapt your strategy as your health evolves, building greater resilience, confidence and ownership along the way.

01

Knowledge

Understand your health, not just your plan.

Reports, practical guides and our educational library help you understand what we’re working on and why, so the knowledge stays with you beyond each consultation.

02

Adaptation

Learn from how your body responds.

Through regular consultations, feedback and relevant data, we continuously refine your actions, keeping what works, changing what doesn’t and adapting as your needs evolve.

03

Resilience

Become better equipped for what comes next.

The goal is more than feeling better today. We help you build sustainable routines, greater awareness and the confidence to make better health decisions for yourself over time.

The goal isn’t dependence on a program. It’s building the knowledge, habits and resilience to take greater ownership of your health.

After a decade in European politics, I learned that real change comes from understanding what people actually need.

That same instinct led me into functional nutrition and microbiome health.

I kept meeting people stuck inside fifteen-minute appointments, cycling through doctors who couldn’t address root causes.

Today I work with clients on microbiome restoration and hormonal balance through the latest functional testing, personalised protocols, and the kind of ongoing partnership the standard system isn’t built to give.

After 6 years of Medical school in Brussels, I chose another path : one driven by a passion for Optimisation and Innovation.

I realised that Health can’t be a once a year concern but needs to be an everyday Intention.

My goal is to translate the complexity of Physiology into clear personalised Actions, informed by the latest Science and supported by the finest Technologies.

The menopause nutrition counselling with Alessandra at Boddhi Clinic was truly a lifesaver. She gave me a clear and insightful understanding of what I need to support myself through perimenopause not just nutritionally, but from a broader lifestyle perspective. Her knowledge, combined with her calm and reassuring demeanour, made the experience incredibly valuable.

Alessandra est une super thérapeute, elle connaît hyper bien son sujet et est très professionnelle. Elle m'a beaucoup aidée pour remettre sur pied ma digestion en lien avec une maladie auto-immune. Grâce à elle, j'ai éradiqué l'H. pylori et le Giardia naturellement alors que les médecins prescrivent normalement des antibiotiques. Je la recommande à 1000 % à n'importe qui souhaite se soigner naturellement.

Questions

Frequently asked

Yes. Our co-founder Dr. Thomas is a medical doctor specialising in human physiology. Every protocol is reviewed through a clinical lens, and we work with specialist partners when deeper medical oversight is required.

Most clients see meaningful changes within 3 to 6 months. But functional nutrition is not a quick fix. It is a sustained, evidence-based process. We stay with you for as long as it takes to see real, lasting change.

No. Our programs are designed to work remotely. Test kits are delivered to your home, consultations happen online, and our app keeps everything connected. When our clinic opens, you will have priority access, but it is not required.

Three things: the depth of diagnostics (six validated tests, not one), the expertise of interpretation (Alessandra reads all results together, not in isolation), and the sustained support (a dedicated team, not a single appointment).

Alessandra is accredited with ASCA and EMR, so most Swiss complementary health insurance plans cover her consultations, partially or in full depending on your policy. Tests, supplements, and the program itself are not reimbursed by basic insurance. We provide the documents you need to claim what is reimbursable.

Roughly two to four hours a week, most of which goes to the lifestyle and nutrition changes themselves. Sessions are scheduled around your week, the app keeps the protocol in front of you, and the coaching team handles questions in between, so you do not have to hold it all in your head.

A one-hour consultation with Alessandra, online. She reads your questionnaire and any existing labs in advance, so the time together goes straight into a deep clinical conversation about your symptoms, your history, your priorities, and what is realistic for your life. You leave with a clear picture of what is going on and a recommended path forward.

A standard blood panel looks for disease. Functional testing looks for imbalance well before disease. The six tests we use map gut, hormones, mitochondria, methylation, micronutrients and inflammation, and read together they show patterns no single panel can catch. That is what allows the protocol to actually be personalised, not generic.

Yes. Our Discovery has a variant for clients arriving with recent bloodwork. Alessandra reads the panel ahead of the session, identifies gaps, and only proposes additional tests if the existing data is not enough. The fee is the same, but you save on testing you do not need to repeat.

Functional nutrition works on biology, not motivation, so the timeline is honest. Most clients feel a shift within the first few weeks and meaningful change between months three and six. The protocol is adjusted at every Alessandra checkpoint, and we rerun the relevant tests when needed. If after six months nothing is moving, we will say so plainly and help you find what will.
