FRAT IgG Choose your focus

A blood-based screening test that screens for folate receptor autoantibodies (FRα). It detects both blocking and binding autoantibodies, which may affect folate transport to the brain and CSF. Results support clinical decision-making, not a standalone diagnosis.

An Integrated Approach to Autism Care

We replace chaos with a structured plan and weekly milestones.

Yodaara is a structured, multidisciplinary care programme blending diagnostics, behavioral tools like the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), targeted supplementation, and team coordination, no silos, no guesswork.

Founded in 2025 and inspired by the journeys of autistic children and their parents, we prioritise early clues for better decisions. Research shows 75% of children with ASD benefit from nutrient support, and early identification can boost outcomes by 50%*.

Root-Cause Focused

Genetic and metabolic tests reveal underlying conditions, moving beyond symptoms to a true understanding.

Family-Empowered

Integrated plans with FAQs and structured follow-ups keep families actively involved in every step.

Holistic & Accessible

Virtual consultations and rural camps bring expert-led care wherever you are.

Functional Medicine for
Autism Care

Our Approach Personalised Family-guided Evidence-informed

Functional medicine is a comprehensive, patient-centred healthcare approach personalised for each child’s unique biology. We integrate holistic health principles with modern diagnostics to identify and address potential biological contributors to developmental challenges, rather than just managing symptoms.

Why Functional Medicine?

Conventional Approach

  • Focuses on managing observable symptoms
  • One-size-fits-all prescription
  • Often requires ongoing medication
  • Treats conditions in isolation

Functional Medicine

  • Identifies and treats root causes
  • Personalised, evidence-informed protocols
  • Aims for lasting wellness without dependency
  • Considers connections across systems in each child

Addressing Root Causes

Each of the following factors plays a critical role in overall health. Our integrated approach evaluates and addresses them to improve well-being and prevent chronic challenges.

Gut Health & Microbiome

Leaky gut and microbiome imbalance can trigger inflammation, affecting brain development and behaviour in children with ASD.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Suboptimal levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega fatty acids compromise cellular function and neurological health.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Reduced cellular energy production leads to fatigue, developmental delays, and chronic health challenges.

Toxin & Stress Load

Heavy metals, chemicals, and chronic stress burden the immune system, disrupting hormonal and metabolic balance.

How we apply functional medicine

1

Advanced Diagnostics

Targeted laboratory tests reveal nutritional deficiencies, gut imbalances, and genetic factors.

2

Personalised Protocol

Customised treatment plans address root causes, restoring function naturally.

3

Comprehensive History

We gather in-depth health histories to understand triggers and patterns.

4

Ongoing Support

Weekly tracking and team coordination ensure lasting progress.

Diseases are not caused by a lack of pharmaceuticals. We look for the root issue that caused the symptoms, then work to correct that underlying issue. This is the only way to have a lasting benefit.

Common Questions

CARS (Childhood Autism Rating Scale) is a validated assessment tool that helps identify autism symptoms and severity.

The comprehensive baseline evaluation typically takes 2-3 hours and includes behavioral assessment and detailed biomedical history.

Not necessarily. We'll recommend only the tests that are clinically relevant for your child's specific needs.

Yes, we offer virtual consultations in multiple languages for your convenience.

We use weekly measurable milestones and standardized assessments to track real, visible progress over time.

Yodaara is a multidisciplinary autism wellness centre combining assessments, testing, nutrition, and coordinated care.

If you notice concerns related to speech, social interaction, or repetitive behaviours, an evaluation may be considered. The signs are noticeable as early as 12-18 months.

Most tests are simple blood or screening tools, chosen carefully for comfort.

Yes, behavioural, speech, occupational, and developmental therapies are coordinated as part of our plan.

No, they support development alongside therapies, guided by test results.
