The Practice · Named · Accountable

The practitioners.

A wellness center is the people who run it. The physician who reads the panel. The clinical-prevention specialist who builds the protocol. The counselor who holds the cognitive layer. The director who scopes the corporate program. The founder on the floor most weekdays.

The Wellness Elite Fitness practice in Friendswood, TX

A practice is the people who run it.

Why this page exists

You buy the person, not the facility.

Premium wellness compounds when the same hands read your panel, write your block, and adjust your protocol. Below are the named hands — with credentials, accountability, and a dedicated page each.

Dr. Swet Chaudhari, MD - Chief Medical Officer
Chief Medical Officer

Dr. Swet Chaudhari, MD

Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon · American Board of Plastic Surgery · American Board of Surgery

Dr. Chaudhari is the Chief Medical Officer of Wellness Elite Fitness. He owns Elite Aesthetic MD — the adjacent licensed medical practice — through which clinical services not delivered at WEF (medical GLP-1 management, hormone optimization, clinical IV protocols) are routed. At WEF he reviews longevity-track panels, signs off on cellular health protocols, and provides the clinical authority anchor that makes WEF a physician-advised wellness center rather than a gym.

Members on the longevity track see Dr. Chaudhari for periodic panel review; the rest of the practice (Dana, the coaching bench, Atlas) reads his findings into the next training block.

Dana Kantara - Cellular Health
Cellular Health

Dana Kantara

Former Clinical Prevention Director, Baylor College of Medicine · Former Assistant Professor · Internal Medicine PA, retired from clinical practice

Dana served as Clinical Prevention Director and Assistant Professor at Baylor College of Medicine and as an Internal Medicine Physician Assistant before retiring from clinical practice to focus full-time on prevention and cellular health work. She runs the cellular health arm of Wellness Elite Fitness as her primary practice. Custom test panels (autoimmune, fatigue, inflammation, food sensitivity, heavy metals, ultimate fitness, weight loss), peptide protocols, and the methylation panel come from her chair.

Diamond Plus members see Dana monthly. Diamond members see her quarterly. Other members access her on a paid-consult basis.

NC
Director of Practice — Behavioral Wellness

Najla Crawford, LPC

Active Texas Licensed Professional Counselor · Cognitive, Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed

Najla is a licensed clinical counselor who leads the behavioral wellness arm of WEF. Her practice is secular and modality-agnostic — cognitive, person-centered, and trauma-informed approaches selected against the member's actual presentation rather than a one-size protocol. The behavioral layer is the third leg under the strength + recovery + cellular health stack; for members under cognitive load, performing executives, or anyone navigating a transition, it is often the layer that makes the rest stick.

Behavioral wellness is bundled into the Diamond Plus membership and available by consult to other members.

JU
Director of Corporate Wellness

John Uresti

Director, WEF Corporate Wellness · Houston-South Employer Programs

John owns the WEF corporate pipeline — executive health bundles, group memberships at preferred rates, on-site activations, and cellular health cohorts for Houston-south employers. He scopes the program, drafts the proposal, and remains the named point of contact through the engagement. A corporate program at WEF starts with a conversation with John, not a brochure download.

Inquiries reach him directly. The front desk — (832) 481-2922 — can also route a corporate inquiry.

Imani Lowery - Founder and Head Trainer
Founder · Owner · Head Trainer

Imani Lowery

Founder, Wellness Elite Fitness · Two decades of training · Voice of the practice

Imani founded Wellness Elite Fitness in 2019 because she wanted a wellness facility that programmed strength, recovery, longevity, and nutrition as one practice — not as separate hobbies sold by separate vendors. Two decades of training experience. The voice you hear on the kiosk, in the SMS thread, on these pages. She is on the floor most weekdays, writes the protocols, and meets every new member at their first consult.

Imani also runs the WEF coaching bench — Amber Anderson, Cris Castellanos, and the rotating massage and modality staff — and is the operational owner of the entire facility.
