He has nearly 20 years of experience helping adults manage diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, inflammatory conditions, thyroid issues, osteoporosis, arthritis, depression, anxiety, asthma, and allergies, among other common health problems.
Dr. Sarma combines clinical and holistic care with a focus on coaching and education to help patients improve their health and live their best lives.
When a conventional approach may not completely address a patient's concern, Dr. Sarma introduces a functional medicine approach to help find the root causes of your physical imbalances together with comprehensive intake assessments and laboratory analysis.
Dr. Sarma has completed an integrative medicine fellowship from the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, been certified by the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, and completed educational training from the Institute of Functional Medicine.
Dr. Rakesh Sarma lives in Atlanta, GA, with his beautiful wife, Priya, and daughters, Rani and Shivani. They are huge foodies and love experimenting in the kitchen.
Dr. Sarma specifically loves creating salads and trying new spices and herbs to achieve different tastes. That said, he’ll admit it’s also difficult to pass up a nice plate of nachos.
Dr. Sarma and his wife also love hiking and traveling. Niagara Falls is one of Dr. Sarma’s favorite places he’s been, but he enjoys visiting any body of water, particularly rivers.
He also has an affinity for places in India, including Thiruvannamalai and Kashi. On his bucket list for travel are the Alhambra in Spain and Mount Kailash in northern India.
Finally, Dr. Sarma practices yoga and meditation daily. “It helps keep me centered, even as life throws its petals or curveballs my way,” he says.
