Our Story

Meet the team behind Vivacity LEAP

A GI physician and a registered dietitian building root-cause medicine for patients who've been let down by the conventional approach.

Why Vivacity exists

Two clinicians. One shared frustration. A practice built to fix what conventional medicine keeps missing.

Dr. Verma
A GI physician who saw the same cycle on repeat
Years of treating patients with chronic gut issues, fatigue, and hormonal dysfunction through conventional GI practice. The pattern was always the same: manage symptoms, prescribe, refer out. The root cause never got addressed.
Juhina Farooki, MPH, RD, LD
A dietitian who knew nutrition needed clinical backing
With a Master's in Public Health and registered dietitian credentials, Juhina saw how dietary interventions could transform outcomes, but only when guided by real diagnostics. Generic meal plans weren't cutting it. Lab-driven nutrition was the answer.
The Decision
Combine GI expertise with functional and regenerative medicine
Functional medicine revolves around the gut. But most functional medicine clinics don't have a gastroenterologist. Dr. Verma and Juhina realized they could build something the Katy/Houston area didn't have: root-cause medicine led by the specialist who actually understands the organ system at the center of it all.
Vivacity LEAP & Wellness
Root-cause healing. Anti-aging. Chronic disease prevention.
A board-certified GI physician and registered dietitian under one roof in Katy, TX. Advanced diagnostics, the Five R Protocol, targeted nutrition, and a clinical team that treats the system, not just the symptom.

How we practice

Every patient gets a different plan because every patient has a different problem.

We don't treat symptoms in isolation. We look at the gut, hormones, immune system, and metabolism as connected systems, then use lab data and clinical expertise to find what's actually driving your symptoms. Science-backed. GI-led. Built around you.
