Hello friends!

I was chatting with a health coaching client who had just finished her first month of lifestyle changes after a challenging year and I asked if she was feeling any immediate effects day-to-day. Changes don’t happen overnight, but I’m always curious!

“Yes,” she answered, “getting back into walking and eating better makes me happy.” By happy, she meant her whole self was more balanced, strong, confident, patient, motivated, and forgiving (both with others and with herself) when she was taking care of her own health. “All of that stress…my brain just feels better, Angel.”

Before working with me, she was dealing with serious burnout from caring for her aging parents and teen children, menopause symptoms (especially brain fog!), and had noticed her weight creeping up as she reached for foods that were easy to grab on-the-fly while she took care of IT ALL!

Sound familiar?

When I first started Seva Health, I knew I wanted to create a program that could serve as many people as possible. This year, I launched Build a Better Brain, a community supported initiative that offers a path for addressing common health concerns like trouble sleeping, depression, brain fog, or fatigue through a functional health lens.

The Neural Zoomer Plus measures immune reactivity to structures, tissues, cells, and chemicals in the brain and peripheral nervous system. This test can detect underlying inflammatory responses that may be causing symptoms related to mood, memory, aging, balance, nervous function, movement, pain, and more. If you were diagnosed with or suspect neurological inflammation or autoimmune disease, you may benefit from this panel.
