ABOUT OUR NAME
Aayu Well derives its name from the ancient Sanskrit term meaning 'to live' and 'to age.’
Aayu Well Healthcare is a physician-led telehealth company focused on safe and healthy transformational weight loss using GLP-1 medications.
GLP-1 medications are powerful drugs. Through a research-based approach, we will help you shed weight safely and make lasting lifestyle changes. Our patients get leaner and healthier, not thinner and softer.
You are not alone. Many people are struggling with obesity or maintaining a healthy weight. And too many who might benefit from the new GLP-1 medications face hurdles accessing them. With a dizzying array of options online, it is hard to know whom to trust. Aayu Well Healthcare provides the trustworthy, expert guidance you deserve.

We endeavor to make quality medical care and obesity management available to all.
Dr. Darshan Patel, MD
Aayu Well, Founder & CEO
As a primary care physician practicing in the San Francisco Bay area, I saw firsthand the terrible toll of two of our most pressing public health crises: obesity and mental illness. Too many of my patients struggled with unhealthy weight gains — which often triggered a range of related chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and joint issues. At the same time, almost half were also dealing with common mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety.
The nation struggles with an acute shortage of mental health care professionals and grossly inadequate obesity care programs. This terrible healthcare gap meant that most people had nowhere to turn. While I’m proud of what I was able to do for my patients, I felt constrained by the limits of traditional healthcare.
I knew I needed better tools to support my patients when they weren’t in my clinic. And we needed more options to help people manage their weight. The refinement of telehealth options and the introduction of GLP-1 medications changed everything. I saw a tremendous opportunity to empower people to live healthier, happier lives — and Aayu Well was born.
We focus on weight management — including crucial mental health support — because the need is so great. And we leverage a team-based approach to provide more specialized care, which translates directly to more individualized care.
By blending cutting-edge technology with comprehensive care from board-certified experts, we offer a safe and effective path that empowers our patients to achieve sustainable weight loss and healthier lives.
Thank you for trusting us with your health. We’re honored to be part of your journey.
