About

At Nava Health, a team of five physicians delivers integrative, functional, and regenerative care across multiple locations in Maryland, Virginia, and beyond. CEO Bernie Dancel founded the practice in 2014. His inspiration came from his wife Connie's recovery from multiple complex chronic illnesses, guided by integrative medicine.

Dr. Douglas Lord serves as Medical Director. He brought eastern and western medicine together to build the clinical foundation Nava Health stands on today. The care team extends beyond physicians to include board-certified functional nutritionists, nurse practitioners, acupuncturists, massage therapists, and aesthetic providers. Nava Health tracks health through a BioAge Score and a personalized Nava Health Score dashboard. Lab panels analyze 90 or more biomarkers, with advanced testing reaching 275 or more. The NavaSport program supports athletes with advanced diagnostics, IV micronutrient therapy, massage modalities, acupuncture, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. C.
