Acute Illness
Chronic Illness
Feeling tired, wired and uninspired? We’re here to help you start feeling good about your life again and we know that means mind and body wellness. Our Mindful Medication Management includes prescriptions for common mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, difficulty focusing, memory problems, and sleep disorders while also testing for other possible causes such as nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and gut dysfunction.
Life is complicated, band-aid solutions through 20 minute appointments often cause more harm than good. We work with clients who want to live longer AND better using a whole mind-body integrative approach to health and well-being. While it’s certainly easy to just take a prescription, it is our fundamental belief that you were guided here today to do more than that. You are here because you’re ready to become the master of one of the most important areas of your life: your health and mental well-being.
Busy schedules shouldn’t prevent you from getting the care and service you need. We offer affordable HIPAA secure video-visits to make getting access to needed care simpler. Using our free app available through your smartphone or computer, we are able to keep in touch after your initial appointment for follow-ups, medication refills, or other services once your condition feels better controlled.

Are you looking for more than just the 15 minute quick-fix appointments that never leave you feeling any better? We understand. Chronic health conditions like diabetes, dementia, irritable bowel disease, depression, anxiety and mood orders all have one thing in common — cellular stress that disrupts your gut microbiome, alters your gene expression, down-regulates your immune system and changes the way your body responds to stress.
We offer advanced functional lab testing to help you get the root of your symptoms like brain fog, weight gain, fatigue, insomnia, mood changes, and more. This advanced clinical testing also reveals important stress and age-related changes that may be negatively impacting your body’s metabolism, methylation, or detoxification needs.
Sometimes the symptoms you’re having lead to an obvious diagnosis. Your back is sore, your stomach is upset, you’ve got teary eyes and a watery nose. An easy remedy applies: rest your back, give your stomach a break, treat the allergies. But other times it’s not so clear and getting to ‘the bottom line’ is tricky. Symptoms like feeling tired all the time, irritable, achy, constantly bloated or ‘off’ can make it difficult to get to the bottom line.
This is where functional medicine can help. Your body isn’t just a collection of organs. Your body is an intricate collection of systems that all work together. Small dysfunctions, deficiencies and imbalances can make all the difference in how you feel. Functional lab testing can help you understand your unique biochemistry, microbiome and genetics and is an excellent place to start reclaiming your health and well-being, making it easier to design an integrative, more holistic treatment plan. Here are a few tests we offer and often recommend.
This comprehensive test assesses three critical areas of gut health: digestive function, gut inflammation, and the gut microbiome—areas affecting not only GI health, but overall health as well.
The NutrEval test is one of the most comprehensive nutritional evaluations available and is designed to assist with management of symptoms related to nutritional deficiencies. NutrEval supports assessment of a patient’s nutritional needs by identifying nutritional deficiencies that may be associated with complex chronic conditions.
Critical nutrients that are functionally assessed on this nutritional profiles include:
Complete Hormones™ is one of the most comprehensive urinary hormone tests available, designed to assist in the clinical management of hormone-related conditions in males and females. It is ideal for establishing a baseline assessment of parent hormones and their metabolites in addition to valuable insight into the impact that shifting hormone levels may play in women (peri/menopause). This hormone test assesses parent hormones, their metabolites, and key metabolic pathways.
Symptoms of hormonal imbalances may include:
The Adrenocortex Stress Profile is a convenient, noninvasive at-home salivary hormone test that evaluates the key stress hormones, cortisol and DHEA.
Salivary adrenal hormone tests in this profile serve as an insightful tool for uncovering biochemical imbalances that can be associated with anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, obesity, dysglycemia, and a host of other clinical conditions.
Salivary adrenal hormone testing may uncover biochemical imbalances, which can adversely affect:
The Allergix® IgG4 Food Antibodies 90 is a food sensitivity test which helps identify those with IgG–mediated food intolerances.
IgG–Mediated symptoms may include:
One of the most frustrating experiences in mental health is being prescribed a medication that simply doesn’t relieve your symptoms. Time is wasted. Money is wasted. And more importantly, the belief that healing is possible is shattered.
If you’ve been diagnosed with depression, anxiety or other related conditions, you may benefit from GeneSight Psychotropic, which is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes clinically important genetic variations that may affect your response to psychiatric medications. The results of the test can help us prescribe a genetically optimal medication and avoid medications that may cause side effects or be less likely to work.
The Cardio ION is a combination of nutritional tests that gives a nutritional assessment and identifies risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Specifically, this nutritional test measures levels of fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, organic acids, and risk factors for CVD.
The Cardio ION nutritional test can guide treatment of many conditions and symptoms, including:
At Seva Health we believe that nobody knows you better than you do. We also know that chronic stress changes the way your body looks, moves and feels. Your gut microbiome and neuroendocrine systems are very complex, with multiple neurotransmitters and hormones affecting every aspect of your health. This is why we do healthcare differently and take an integrative approach to help you change your life, not just your symptoms. Your invitation to live longer and live better is here.
Feelings like overwhelm, anxiety, anger, and sadness are part of being human, and every one of us at times experiences them. But it is possible to use tools and strategies that allow you to regulate these emotions and heal from their effects.
HeartMath® is a simple yet revolutionary solution for relieving the physical symptoms of stress and anxiety, improving health and wellness, enhancing spirituality, and improving your performance.
HeartMath® research has demonstrated that different heart rhythm patterns accompany different emotional states and have distinct effects on brain function. During stress and anxiety, when the heart rhythm pattern is erratic and disordered, the corresponding pattern of signals traveling from the heart to the brain inhibits higher cognitive functions. This limits our ability to think clearly, remember, learn, reason, and make effective decisions. This also helps explain why we may often act impulsively and unwisely when we’re under stress. Incoherent heart rhythmic patterns that are sent to the brain during stress and anxiety only reinforce the emotional experience of stress and anxiety – essentially a vicious energy depleting cycle.
In contrast, stable and coherent heart rhythms have the opposite effect. Feelings like love, appreciation, care, compassion, calm and ease facilitates higher cognitive functioning and reinforces positive attitudes, emotional stability and perceptual clarity. This means that generating increased heart rhythm coherence and learning how to shift into and sustain positive emotional states not only benefits the entire body, but also profoundly affects how we perceive, think, feel, and perform.
HeartMath sessions in our office or via telehealth offer immediately usable tools that help you self-generate more positive emotional states and understand how your stress reactions impact you. Using simple technology and techniques, you will learn how to transform stress into opportunities for emotional and mental health and healing, reset your stress setpoint and finally take charge of thoughts, and feelings that drain your energy.
Join millions of people around the world who have learned HeartMath® to change their lives, not just their symptoms.
In over 400 published independent studies HeartMath® techniques have demonstrated that increasing heart rhythm coherence has improved nervous system balance, enhanced hormonal and immune system health, eased anxiety, lifted depression, lowered blood pressure, improved Hba1C levels, relieved chronic pain, and more.
Coherence gives you more freedom to remain fully present and engaged with your life. Instead of your mind, emotions, and heart all pulling in different directions, coherence brings them into alignment so you have more inner harmony and clarity to enjoy life – naturally.
