Our Story

Serving as a frontline pediatrician and primary care provider in rural Oregon during the chaos of a global pandemic, Dr. D’Aleman saw huge failures in the current healthcare system and the escalating challenges faced by patients in using lifestyle to improve their health. This experience prompted deep introspection about her life’s priorities and the impact of her work in the community, leaving her questioning the very essence of her medical journey. She knew there was a better, more effective, more collaborative way to help. Realizing that treating symptoms was not enough, she felt a fundamental shift was needed towards proactive, patient-centered care that would address the root cause of health issues.

This realization wasn’t hers alone. Alongside her stood her husband Jean-Sebastien, whose passion for learning about longevity, healthy aging, and well-being mirrored her own aspirations. Their shared commitment to redefining what healthcare should be became the catalyst for change. In 2024, they materialized their vision into a revolutionary company: Somaentis.

The core principles of metabolic physiology, lifestyle medicine, and a collaborative team-based approach were the bricks used to build this dream. Every aspect has been designed to put the patient at the forefront. With options for in-person visits or virtual consultations and dedicated appointment times, we prioritize patient access and time with our clinical team. The concept of shared decision-making giving back control to the patients over their own health —, recognizes that the path to better health is best navigated together. At Somaentis, we understand that every journey presents unique obstacles, but we are committed to tackling them with innovation and resilience. Moreover, technology and evidence-based medicine are integral parts of the process. The financial investment and risk have been worth it and are the only way to elevate the bar and give credibility and scientific support to our personalized services.

Located in Boca Raton, Florida, with plans to expand to other locations, Somæntis provides holistic wellness and personalized lifestyle care so that individuals of all ages, needs, and goals can enjoy a long, active life with optimal health and well-being.

Somæntis

(soh - MAN - tis)

Our name is inspired by the Greek word soma, which means body and the Latin word entis, meaning being. We can also hear in the name the latin word mentis, meaning having a sound mind. Together, this name encapsulates the essence of human life seamlessly intertwining: soma, the physical form, with mentis, the mind and behavior and entis, the being.

More than just a practice, Somaentis is a movement towards personalized healthcare, focusing on metabolic dysfunction as the underlying culprit of many chronic illnesses.

About Dr. D’Aleman

Paola D’Aleman, MD, ABP, FAAP, ABOM, DiplACLM

Dr. Paola D’Aleman

Dr. Dr. Paola D'Aleman is a dedicated physician with exceptional international experience and an unwavering commitment to holistic patient care. Her practice is fuelled by knowledge, expertise, empathy, and a passion for transformative healthcare in every facet: physical, mental, and emotional.

Born and raised in Colombia, South America, Dr. D'Aleman's childhood was vibrant. Surrounded by her loving and forward-thinking family, she absorbed diverse perspectives during dinner conversations and danced to the rhythm of rock en español bands on her cassette player, embracing life's richness to the fullest. Yet, at just 9 years old, her world was shattered by gun violence, an event that nearly claimed her life. In the aftermath, she experienced the unwavering care of healthcare professionals, igniting her calling to pursue a career in medicine and champion empathy-driven care for the rest of her life.

She embarked on her medical journey at the esteemed Universidad del Rosario Medical School in Bogotá, Colombia, followed by a transformative internship at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, expanding her knowledge and experience across borders. Driven to make an impact, she returned to Colombia in 1998, immersing herself in community healthcare.

Fuelled by her passion to advance as a healthcare practitioner, Dr. D'Aleman pursued a rigorous three-year pediatrics residency at Lincoln Hospital, affiliated with Weill Cornell University in New York. She then attended an additional two years of advanced studies at Saint Justine Hospital, University of Montreal in Canada.

Dr. D'Aleman swiftly gained recognition in pediatrics, which led to a unique opportunity to join an esteemed group of pediatric specialists in Bermuda. Spending a decade there, she became one of the most sought-after pediatricians on the island.

Aware that medicine evolves rapidly, she is determined to stay at the forefront of knowledge and innovation to enhance client care. Eager to advance both her education and medical practice, she returned to the USA in late 2019. Since then, Dr. D'Aleman has pursued formal training in lifestyle medicine, obesity medicine, and metabolic diseases. She recently obtained her certification in hormonal therapy and is now a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP), further solidifying her expertise and commitment to comprehensive and holistic patient care.

With a wealth of international experience and training, Dr. D'Aleman offers her patients a unique blend of traditional and integrative medicine. What truly sets her apart is her life mission to make a difference and empower people to live their best lives. She doesn't just solve medical issues—she becomes an integral part of her patients' lives.

In 2024, D'Aleman founded Somæntis with a vision to create a lasting impact through her holistic approach to wellness.

By choosing Somaentis, you're inviting a trusted ally on your journey to health and happiness.

“Visiting your doctor should feel empowering, like meeting up with a close ally for a time of uplifting conversations and valuable advice, leaving you with a renewed sense of well-being. We doctors should be making your life more enjoyable and meaningful.”
