Swathi
Swathi started practicing family medicine in 2002. For most of that time she has been dedicated to practicing functional or roots-up medicine. Over these twenty years in medicine, she has learned a few very fundamental lessons:
- Patient’s symptoms are always more important than a diagnosis or label
- Changing how we eat, move, sleep, and detox is critical to optimal wellness
- Taking the time to listen to patients makes better medicine than anything else!
These lessons have inspired the Be Well Family Care Mission:
To partner with patients to optimize their health utilizing a blend of traditional and alternative medicine
To practice individualized, patient-centered medicine
To treat root causes and imbalances to regain homeostasis and prevent disease
To empower patients to EAT WELL, SLEEP WELL, MOVE WELL, POOP WELL and ultimately BE WELL.
Her journey as a medical provider has enabled her to meet and learn from some of the best Functional Medicine Providers in the country and in central Indiana.
Swathi graduated from Indiana University as a pre-med major in 1994 and Butler University’s Physician Assistant program in 2002. In 2015, she received the Institute of Functional Medicine (or IFM) Certification for Functional Medicine, which is the highest level of education available in Functional Medicine. She lives in Carmel with her husband, Jason, and two amazing sons.
Caio
Dr. Caio is a family medicine physician with advanced fellowship training in Primary Care Sports Medicine. At Be Well Family Care, Dr. Caio provides comprehensive primary care through a functional medicine lens, while also bringing specialized expertise in musculoskeletal health, sports medicine, injury prevention, and helping patients stay active and feel their best.
Originally from Brazil, Dr. Caio earned his medical degree from Marilia Medical School and began his postgraduate training in orthopedic surgery before continuing his medical career in the United States. He completed his Family Medicine Residency at Community Health Network in Indianapolis, followed by a Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship at Indiana University.
His unique background in family medicine, sports medicine, and orthopedics allows Dr. Caio to look at health from both a whole-person and musculoskeletal perspective. In primary care, he works with patients to look beyond symptoms and consider the many factors that influence overall health and wellness, with an emphasis on prevention, healthy movement, and long-term quality of life.
Dr. Caio also sees patients with a wide range of musculoskeletal and sports medicine concerns—from everyday aches and joint pain to acute and overuse injuries. His advanced training includes sports ultrasound, musculoskeletal injections, osteopathic manipulative medicine, and the evaluation and treatment of sports- and activity-related injuries. He has provided medical coverage for professional and high school athletes as well as sporting events.
In addition to his clinical training, Dr. Caio has an extensive background in orthopedic research through Indiana University School of Medicine and has contributed to numerous published studies involving bone and fracture healing and musculoskeletal health.
Dr. Caio believes that sports medicine is not just for competitive athletes. Whether you are an athlete, a weekend warrior, an active adult, or simply want to move with less pain and greater confidence, his goal is to identify what is contributing to the problem and create an individualized plan that supports healing, strength, mobility, and long-term function.
