Functional Medicine, Get Switched On

Tampa Bay Holistic Wellness is a naturopathic primary care practice located in

Downtown Tampa Florida

Our Mission is Your Health

Here at Tampa Bay Holistic Wellness we understand that well-being encompasses the entire person. Trauma and acute conditions are not the primary reason people die in the United States. In fact, these issues aren’t even in the top 10. Americans are slowly dying of chronic illness and age related disorders that make aging unbearable & unenjoyable. Our current medical system is missing the boat and Americans have the lowest longevity rates and highest infant mortality rates in the western world. Our goal at TBHW is to serve, educate, support and empower our patients. TBHW provides a concierge health care offering that delivers a more personalized approach to health.

Did you know that Florida Statute 457.102 defines Acupuncture as a form of Primary Care? “Acupuncture” means a form of primary health care, based on traditional Chinese medical concepts and modern oriental medical techniques, that employs acupuncture diagnosis and treatment, as well as adjunctive therapies and diagnostic techniques.

Although many Physicians are parlaying into “functional medicine” and “integrative health” knowledge of treatment using prevention medicine including nutrition, biomechanics and mental health are limited. This causes a significant disconnect, because functional blood chemistry analysis only provides data. An understanding of why functional analysis markers may be off and designing a patient centered program that encourages good habits requires specific knowledge. Lifestyle medicine IS NOT alternative medicine. Alternative would imply optional and healthy lifestyle IS NOT an option. Prevention is your holistic health care provider’s focus and we augment the services provided by your biomedical care provider(s). Thankfully, modern science has given us the diagnostic tools to track the underlying perpetrators of lifestyle related illness and disease. The biomedical model is the emergency medical model and biomedicine is absolutely necessary especially when considering that many of us won’t change. However, the emergency medical model wasn’t designed to be abused as a tool to correct poor lifestyle choices.
