Tao Functional Health was created to offer people more time to understand the broader picture of their health.
Our approach is physician-led, evidence-based and personalised. We look beyond individual symptoms to consider your health history, previous investigations, current concerns and the wider factors that may be influencing how you feel.
The aim is not to pursue more testing or treatment for its own sake. It is to identify meaningful patterns, establish clear priorities and help you make informed, practical decisions about what to do next.
Tao Functional Health is designed to complement your existing medical care, particularly when your health feels more complicated than any single symptom or test result.
Meet Dr David Lai
Physician. Global health leader. Founder of Tao Functional Health
Dr David Lai is a physician with more than 20 years of experience across clinical medicine and global health, including leadership roles with the World Health Organization.
Working with patients and health systems in very different settings has shaped his belief that good medicine begins with understanding the whole picture — not simply an individual symptom, test result or diagnosis.
He founded Tao Functional Health to bring that perspective into a more personal form of care: giving people the time to understand what may be influencing their health, identify meaningful priorities and make informed decisions about what to do next.
