At Seva Health, we believe that good health is more than an annual physical, a set of labs, and a “normal” weight on a scale. We believe it’s also being educated and empowered to take control of your health. This is why lifestyle medicine is the focus of our care.
Routine preventive health services using a lifestyle medicine-based model of care in our Maryland office or via telehealth. We offer acute and chronic illness care, functional medicine testing, mindful medication management, weight reduction counseling, and nutrition and lifestyle coaching. Insurance options include: Care First, Medicare (Traditional) and Medicare Advantage. Self-pay/HSA options are also accepted.
Acute Illness
Chronic Illness
True healing begins with mindfulness — paying exquisite attention to our body and mind. Mindful Medication Management means providing needed prescriptions for common mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, cognitive impairment/dementia, and sleep disorders while also using an integrative approach to help you uncover possible causes such as nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances, or other personal stressors that often overlap symptoms.
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.

Gone are the days of treating every symptom with another pill. There is solid clinical evidence that inflammation can damage your cells, dampen your mood and drastically impact your physical and mental health. 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.
Advanced functional lab testing can help you identify root causes of 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. By applying the insight gained from these results we design an integrative treatment plan that helps you change your life, not just treat your symptoms; helping you move from envisioning vitality and longevity to actually living it.
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:

Have you been told by your doctor you’re “fine” even though you don’t feel fine?

This is why integrative health coaching helps you change your life, not just your symptoms.

“I had big goals for myself, dreamt of a better life for myself, and a space to share with and learn from others. When I joined the Get Fit and Functional for Life community I found that space. From attending my first vision board party in the Fall of 2021, the energy and knowledge I gained knowing I can create my own beautiful life has propelled me through some challenging times and closer to my goals.
Being a part of a community of women who are working to better themselves and enrich their lives has been nothing short of a blessing to me. Every time I access the group I’m met with a positive atmosphere, and have access to information and conversation that will enrich my life in some way. It’s so hard to find spaces that are this positive, where members are engaged, and where you know that whatever you read is encouraging, motivational, inspirational, informative, or a mixture of all of those.
I wholeheartedly believe that a full life is possible, and finding a community of like minded folks who can support you on your goals is an absolute must. We weren’t made to navigate this life alone!”.
