personalized Integrative primary care: functional medicine for holistic wellness
Personalized integrative health solutions: welcome to south florida integrative health center
In a world where conventional medicine often focuses on treating symptoms rather than addressing underlying causes, functional medicine offers a refreshing approach. Functional medicine is not just about managing symptoms, it’s about understanding connections of the body’s systems and contributions they make to overall health. Furthermore, it doesn’t rely on medications to mask symptoms. Functional medicine digs deeper to uncover the root cause of illness. At our clinic, we make individualized appointments and give you the time and attention you deserve. Moreover, we take the time to carefully listen to and address your unique health concerns. The success our patients experience is attributed to the personalized integrative health solutions we tailor to the individual. As a result, we have helped countless people age better with our thorough and comprehensive approach to primary care.
Advanced primary care: Functional Medicine for life
Imagine if it was possible to take a comprehensive look at how well your body is aging every year. Think of the endless possibilities of preventative care. The yearly primary care appointment we provide makes it possible. Our primary care bloodwork looks at much more than general lab panels do. As a matter of fact, our panels test for 100’s of biomarkers of aging that can prevent 1000’s of diseases. Furthermore, we incorporate gut microbiome testing, micronutrient testing, food sensitivity testing and other specialized testing if necessary. We take the time to consider all factors contributing to your health such as lifestyle, environment, and genetic contributors. Additionally, sleep quality, nutrition, exercise, stress levels, and environmental exposure to chemicals and toxins are also examined. A powerful combination of conventional and natural medicine is used to optimize health and promote vibrant, healthy aging.

Customized lifestyle and treatment plans are tailored to your specific needs, empowering you to take control of your health. We see you as a whole person, not just one condition or a set of symptoms.

meet the practitioner. Dr. durrell handwerger, DNP, FNP-C, founder of south florida integrative health center
For years I had been frustrated with the conventional medicine model. Because I was only able to do what insurance would cover within the realm of a particular diagnosis, I couldn’t give patients my best. I have always felt that every person should be treated as unique and not an algorithm. This is what inspired me to found South Florida Integrative Health Center and develop a very effective holistic model of patient-centered care. Now, with over 30 years of experience in the field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every consultation. Many other practitioners or clinics rely on unnecessary testing or quick-fix modalities. However, I take an individualized approach and put your entire health picture together.
I believe in the healing power of nature and have sought out natural healing therapies from around the world. For 30 years, I sought out the best evidence-based alternative therapies, herbal formulations, and information about longevity and aging to incorporate into my practice. I combine my evidence-based medical and nutritional training with herbal medicine, targeted nutrients, and cutting-edge testing to treat the root cause of conditions. Only the most effective and advanced treatments are used to support patients on their journey to optimal wellness.
For over a decade, I have been an educator and leader of the Weston Price Nutrition Foundation in Miami Beach and a chapter leader of the Miami Holistic Nurses Association. I have contributed extensively to educating the public about nutrition and natural medicine. With over 30 combined years of work as a Board Certified Holistic Family Nurse Practitioner and Nutrition expert and researcher, I have helped people achieve excellent health, as seen in our 5-star reviews.
I look forward to assisting you on your journey to vibrant health.
