Cancer Prevention
Your Family History Doesn’t Have to Define Your Future
Personalized, physician-led prevention for those at high risk of cancer—transforming fear into confident, evidence-based action.
When Your Genes Leave You Unsure of What’s Next
When cancer runs in your family—or you’ve tested positive for a genetic risk like BRCA or Lynch—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
One doctor says “wait and watch.” Another says “act now.” And online advice conflicts.
At Ayur, we turn fear into clarity by connecting your genes, lifestyle, and biology into one actionable plan.

Dr. Acharya is an exceptional physician with her focus on treating the whole person.
She gives practical advice which is easy to incorporate in your lifestyle.
It's clear she goes above and beyond to address her patients' needs from all angles.
Dr. Malathi is an astute and diligent holistic care provider.
She is very methodical, from the intake survey, where she asks questions about your mental and physical health, to each session.
She really cares about making actionable change with metrics and data and check ins.
Like many people, I have a primary care physician and specialist doctors - but no one to orchestrate the complexities of medical care.
She provides me with the guidance I need to live my fullest life. She takes the time to learn about my personal medical history, but also my family's
She is also a coach, who knows how to motivate me, keep me focused and ultimately, help me win.
Her style is very empowering—she gives me small, manageable "homework" assignments that gently guide me toward long-term change.
Throughout my treatment, she has helped me implement meaningful changes, from improving my diet and sleep habits to incorporating breathing exercises and meditation into my daily routine.
