Meet the Team

Sanna Kalika, MD

Hello,

I am board certified internist with a strong interest in and emphasis on a holistic/functional approach to wellness and healing. After practicing conventional medicine for years, rushing from patient to patient and increasing the number of prescriptions for diabetes, hypertension, anxiety, and other numerous ailments that plague our society, I found myself being drawn to the question of why, despite all the advancements in medicine, technology, and pharmacology, more and more people are being affected by chronic illnesses such as obesity, digestive issues, autoimmune diseases, hormonal and mood imbalances, allergies, etc; and all happening at an earlier age.

Are we really addressing the health problems at their core by prescribing more and more medications? I believe the answers lie in our hectic, stressful lifestyles, lack of restorative sleep, and toxin-ridden air, food, and water supply. I know that with proper education, patience, and gentle guidance on necessary improvements in lifestyle and a variety of treatment interventions, alternative as well as conventional (if necessary), we can start undoing all the damage done and nurture our bodies and minds back to our healthiest selves.

I am convinced that the best way to tackle an ailment is to form a partnership between a doctor and a patient where both take an active part in decision-making. Where I, as a physician, will help you get to the root cause of the problem, provide necessary tools such as comprehensive, advanced testing, and create an individualized plan of scientifically based and clinically proven treatment including but not limited to nutraceuticals and supplements, geared specifically towards your needs. In return, you, as a patient, with my full support, will work on bringing this treatment to fruition.

My name is Yelena Turovskaya I’m an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. 

In addition to being a certified health coach I’m a professional chef with deep knowledge and understanding of nutrition. I have a Bachelor degree in Hospitality Management from NYCTech. 

I support clients with lifestyle modifications that help them navigate and improve their health and wellness through a multidimensional lens. By addressing lifestyle factors, such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and movement, I help clients improve their health holistically, enhancing their outcome.

Being a health coach is a valuable role in integrated healthcare, helping patients truly heal through implementing sustainable lifestyle changes in a well-coordinated effort across the care team.

My focus is longevity and all natural “biohacking” we can use for it – early morning sun exposure, cold plunges, sauna,  eating seasonal local foods, intermittent fasting and regular early bed time just to name a few. Also, I love essential oils and like implementing it in many aspects of our lives. 

With my family I live and NYC. My husband and I are raising two children. We enjoy everything outdoor and nature – love hiking, forest bathing and being on the beach. For exercise my favorite is Pilates reformer and mat it’s the best exercise for women’s body!

I’m a local farmers market enthusiast and love buying my produce from local markets during the season.
