Get to Know Dr. Sarma
Dr. Sarma’s approach to care developed during his education and training more than 20 years ago.
"I knew there was an aspect of the traditional training and education that did not fully capture how I wanted to care for patients," he says. "That’s how I developed a passion for holistic medicine, integrative medicine, and wellness coaching."
Through care and coaching, Dr. Sarma helps patients find the inspiration to see what needs change, what can be changed, and assists patients in overcoming the obstacles to that change.
"I help my patients examine their personal choices and find their own authenticity and resilience," he says. "I want them to truly understand what they value and how it may actually be informing the choices that lead away from good health."
Dr. Sarma has found that there are many approaches that can help patients understand their own health.
"For example, in addition to eating well, experiencing nature, and spending time with my family, health for me is also about working on my inner self and learning how I choose to react or respond to life’s stressors," Dr. Sarma says.
"I also know that what health means to me does not necessarily mean it means the same to anyone else. So as a physician, I’m passionate about helping others understand what health means to them."
Dr. Rakesh Sarma lives in Atlanta, GA, with his beautiful wife, Priya, and daughter, Rani. 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.
