About Elova Health

Care that starts
with why.

Elova Health is a fully virtual practice built on a simple belief: before you change anything, you should understand what may be driving how you feel.

We take a deeper, more comprehensive look at your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and lab data to help uncover patterns that may otherwise be overlooked.

That approach isn’t just the philosophy behind Elova Health. It was shaped by founder Kaye’s own experience searching for answers — and ultimately became the kind of care she wanted to provide for others.

Meet Your Provider

This work is personal to me.

Before founding Elova Health, I went through my own health journey.

I struggled with my weight, low energy, and the frustrating feeling that something wasn’t right — even when I was being told my labs were “normal.” I knew what it felt like to try to do the right things and still wonder, “Why isn’t my body responding?”

So I started looking deeper.

Instead of focusing only on the number on the scale or whether individual lab values were within a reference range, I began looking at the bigger picture — my metabolism, hormones, nutrition, lifestyle, and how those pieces could be connected.

50 pounds lost over time — but understanding my body was the real transformation.

That experience changed the way I viewed health — and the kind of provider I wanted to be.

Why I Created Elova Health

I wanted to create the kind of care I had been looking for.

As a healthcare provider, I had spent years caring for others. But going through my own journey taught me what it feels like to be the person searching for answers.

There’s a difference between being told “everything looks normal” and actually feeling well.

That experience is why I created Elova Health.

I think about the woman who is trying — changing her diet, exercising, doing what she has been told — but still feels like she is fighting against her own body.

I want her to feel heard.

I want her concerns to be taken seriously.

And I want her to walk away with a better understanding of her health and what her next steps could be.

Because when you understand what may be happening inside your body, you can make more informed decisions about what comes next.

What I Believe About Your Care

Care should help you understand the whole picture.

01

It’s about the person behind the labs

Today, as a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner with a Functional Medicine Certification, I combine conventional clinical training with a root-cause approach.

But Elova Health isn’t just about running more labs. It’s about understanding the person behind them.

You deserve more than a lab report. You deserve to understand what it means for you.

02

Listening comes before recommending

I believe in listening before recommending. Looking at the whole picture instead of chasing individual symptoms. Explaining the “why” behind your results and recommendations. And making sure you are part of the conversation about your own health.

03

Why We Look Deeper

Because “normal” doesn’t always tell the whole story.

You can be told your labs look normal and still struggle with stubborn weight, low energy, poor sleep, brain fog, hormonal symptoms, or simply feeling like something is “off.”

At Elova Health, we look at your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and comprehensive lab data together to identify patterns that may deserve a closer look.

Instead of asking only, “Is anything abnormal?” we also ask, “What could be contributing to the way you feel?”

04

Why We Don’t Take Insurance

Because your care shouldn’t be limited by what insurance will cover.

Insurance is largely structured around diagnosing and treating medical conditions and determining which services meet specific coverage criteria. That doesn’t always align with a proactive, comprehensive approach to health. Certain expanded labs, preventive services, or wellness-focused testing may not be covered unless specific medical criteria are met.

We don’t believe you should have to wait until a health concern becomes a diagnosed disease before taking a deeper look at your health.

By operating outside of insurance, Elova Health has greater flexibility to recommend care based on your symptoms, health history, goals, and clinical needs — rather than allowing insurance coverage requirements to determine the scope of your care.

Your health should guide your care — not what an insurance plan decides to cover.

Why Elova Health Exists

Created for people who are ready to better understand their health.

Elova Health started with my own search for answers, but it was created for people who are ready to better understand their health.

For the person who is tired of guessing.

For the person who knows something feels different but doesn’t know why.

And for the person who wants someone to take the time to look at the bigger picture.

“I know what it feels like to search for answers. My hope is that at Elova Health, you don’t have to search alone.”
