What Does CLAVA mean?

We all face our own trials and challenges through life. CLAVA Health is your secret weapon on your path to live well and live long.


A doctor in functional medicine works holistically, considering the full picture of your physical, mental, emotional, and sometimes even spiritual health. We consider factors like diet, genetics, hormonal changes, prescription and over the counter medications, and other lifestyle components. We don’t look for ways to make you dependent on your doctor… we help you heal, develop the tools to keep you out of the ER, and your health thriving.
Insurance won’t cover this… that says a lot

The time that is required for your doctor to get to the root cause of your symptoms can’t be supported by the insurance model. Doctors reimbursed by insurance companies typically spend 7 minutes per patient. At CLAVA, we spend no less than thirty minutes with each patient at every visit because our approach is not about treating singular symptoms.
Our mission is to create optimal health for your entire body.While some components of your evaluation within CLAVA Health can by covered by your insurance provider (i.e. blood tests, imaging studies), many of the advanced tests we use will not be.These tests take more time and require more expertise to interpret. This results in a personalized treatment plan that will include natural therapies, lifestyle modifications, and cutting edge treatment modalities.
We target prescription drug de-escalation when possible. Our approach puts patients on the path toward longevity, thriving not just surviving. Turns out, insurance companies don’t like our approach. But patients do.
We do accept HSA and FSA across our suite of care and services.
