I reached out to Brooke when my physical and mental health was at an all time low. I knew I needed to make a change but didn’t know where to start. Brooke has helped me in more ways than I could’ve imagined. She guided me through my healing journey and helped me make diet and lifestyle choices that were realistic and not overwhelming. Since working with Brooke I have noticed a huge difference in my painful bloating, fatigue, digestive issues, and so much more! I am now healthier and happier and finally confident in my own skin. Brooke has completely changed my life, I cannot thank her enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Functional medicine is an evidence-based, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than just treating the symptoms. Unlike conventional medicine, which often relies on standardized treatments, functional medicine considers each individual’s unique biology, lifestyle, and environment to create tailored plans to restore balance, health, and well-being.
Practitioners of functional medicine use advanced diagnostic tools and integrate nutrition, exercise, stress management, and other holistic strategies to restore balance and prevent chronic conditions looking beyond disease into optimal health creation. In Orlando, functional medicine is gaining popularity as residents seek sustainable solutions for common issues like fatigue, digestive problems, and hormonal imbalances.

Functional medicine lab testing helps evaluate how your body is functioning using a range of information relating to your body’s ecosystem instead of focusing on diagnosing a specific disease. The results of these advanced diagnostics can help to find the root cause(s) of disease and health challenges like hormonal imbalances, gut problems, skin concerns, and more. Testing may include blood, stool, urine, saliva, and/or hair samples to provide insight into a variety of body systems, including:
- metabolic
- nutritional
- endocrine
- gastrointestinal
- hormonal
- immune
- genetic
- detoxification
- …and more!
