About Your Physician

Dr. Shweta Patel,
OB/GYN

Board-Certified OB/GYN U.S. Navy Veteran Hormones Specialist Author

Dr. Patel is a board-certified OB/GYN and U.S. Navy veteran who spent years watching women in midlife be dismissed, undertreated, and handed antidepressants when they needed hormone care. She founded Gaya Wellness to change that — building a concierge virtual practice where women finally get the clinical precision they deserve.

"Menopause is not a disease — but suffering through it unnecessarily is a choice we no longer have to make."

She is also the author of The Book of Hormones and the creator of the Hormonal Agency™ framework — a clinical model that treats the whole hormonal picture, not just individual symptoms.

Dr Patel was my obgyn years ago, and I am glad to be seeing her again! Her bedside manner is incredible, she truly cares about her patients. She is very knowledgeable and kind. It is great to have a doctor who cares about your entire health and will look deeper, rather than just check boxes.

As Gaya’s first Male patient I have been collaborating with Dr. Patel for the past six months on my weight loss journey, and I truly appreciate our bi-weekly check-ins. These discussions allow us to delve into how I'm feeling and assess what strategies are effective and which ones aren't. I value this personal virtual communication, especially since I have a busy schedule. The convenience of virtual appointments has helped me maintain consistency in my routine.

joined Gaya’s Weight Loss program a couple a months ago. So far I have lost 10 pounds and several inches. However, what I am most impressed with is the awareness that I have develop regarding my relationship with food and how most of what I need to work on is not necessarily what I eat but why I eat those things. Dr. Patel is honest and supportive throughout the process. I also decided to use some of the other services provided by Gaya. I can’t say enough good things about my experience and satisfaction with all the help Gaya is currently providing me with. I am extremely happy I found them, and grateful for Dr. Patel and her Team!
Lindsey Thomas

Does Gaya Wellness accept insurance?

What makes Gaya Wellness different from other telehealth hormone companies?

The practice also integrates weight and hormonal care, recognizing these systems are deeply connected.
