(FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions
Functional & Alternative Wellness in Florida

  • What is functional wellness, and how is it different from conventional healthcare?

    Functional wellness focuses on identifying and treating the root causes of symptoms rather than just masking them. While conventional medicine often relies on medications to manage conditions, we use natural therapies like muscle testing, whole food nutrition, and hormone balancing to help your body heal and perform at its best.

  • What is muscle testing, and why is it used?

    Muscle testing is a non-invasive technique that helps us evaluate how your body responds to specific stressors or nutritional imbalances. By assessing muscle strength and reflexes, we can pinpoint which organs or systems need support, allowing us to tailor a personalized plan for your wellness goals.

  • Do you only use Standard Process supplements?

    We primarily use Standard Process whole food-based supplements because they are nutrient-rich, organically grown, and designed to work naturally with your body. In addition, we also utilize select Energetix products when appropriate. These high-quality, professional-grade formulas complement our approach, allowing us to create a personalized plan that supports your body’s healing processes—without synthetic additives or fillers.

  • What are bio-identical hormone creams, and how can they help?

    Bio-identical hormone creams are made from natural plant sources and are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces. They are applied topically and help balance hormones related to energy, mood, sleep, metabolism, and more—especially during menopause, perimenopause, and andropause.

  • Can your services help with energy, sleep, and digestive health?

    Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us struggling with fatigue, poor sleep, or digestive discomfort. By identifying imbalances in the body and providing targeted nutritional support, we help restore function and improve your overall quality of life naturally.

  • How long does it take to notice improvements?

    Each body is different, but some clients feel better within the first few weeks of starting their program. Long-term change takes time, especially when addressing chronic issues. We work with you step-by-step to build lasting improvements over several months.

  • Do you take insurance?

    We do not accept insurance. Functional and alternative wellness services are typically not covered by most insurance plans. 

  • What happens at the first visit?

    Your initial appointment includes a full consultation, muscle testing evaluation, and a customized wellness plan. We’ll discuss your health history, current concerns, and personal goals—then recommend Standard Process supplements and lifestyle guidance to help you feel your best.

  • Is this type of care safe for children and older adults?

    Yes! Our natural, food-based approach is safe for all ages. Whether your child is dealing with focus issues or your parent is experiencing fatigue or joint pain, we offer personalized care that supports each person’s unique health journey.

  • What symptoms or conditions can you help with?

    We support a wide range of health concerns including fatigue, hormone imbalance, sleep issues, weight gain, detoxification, poor digestion, anxiety, and chronic inflammation. Our goal is to help you regain energy, vitality, and resilience—naturally.

  • Can you help with weight loss or detox?

    Yes. We offer gentle, food-based detox protocols and customized supplement support to help your body eliminate toxins and reset metabolism. Many clients also experience natural weight loss as their hormones and digestion come back into balance.

  • How do you know which supplements I need?

    Using muscle testing, we assess your body’s responses to various whole food supplements from Standard Process. This allows us to create a plan that is highly specific to your body’s needs—eliminating the guesswork and preventing overload.

  • What if I’ve tried everything and still don’t feel well?

    Many of our clients come to us after exhausting conventional routes without success. Our approach looks beyond lab results and diagnoses to discover hidden stressors and nutritional deficiencies. If you're still not feeling like yourself, this may be the fresh start you need.

  • Can I continue working with my doctor while seeing you?

    Absolutely. We encourage clients to continue their relationships with primary care providers and specialists. Our services are designed to complement—not replace—your existing medical care with natural, food-based support.

  • Are your supplements safe if I’m on medication?

    Yes, in most cases. Standard Process supplements are food-based and generally well-tolerated. We review your current medications and health status carefully before making any recommendations, and we always encourage you to check with your prescribing physician.

  • Do I have to commit to a long-term program?

    No long-term contracts are required. However, consistent support over time yields the best results. Many clients choose to work with us seasonally or as needed for maintenance once their core concerns are addressed.

  • How do I get started?

    Getting started is easy! Just contact us to schedule your first consultation. We’ll guide you through every step—from the initial evaluation to personalized supplement recommendations—so you can start feeling better from the inside out.

  • What are the signs of hormone imbalance?

    Common signs of hormone imbalance include fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, hot flashes, low libido, weight gain, sleep disturbances, and irregular periods. Many people don’t realize their symptoms are hormone-related until they start a wellness plan and begin to feel better.

  • How do you test for hormone imbalance?

    At Bounce Back to Health, we use a combination of muscle testing and saliva testing to understand how your body is functioning. Muscle testing allows us to quickly identify areas of stress or imbalance by assessing your body’s neurological responses in real time. Saliva testing provides a deeper look at hormone patterns throughout the day, giving us valuable insight into cortisol levels and other female reproductive hormones.


    Together, these methods help us uncover what’s really going on with your hormone health and guide us in creating a natural, personalized support plan.

  • Are bio-identical hormone creams safe?

    Yes, when used correctly and under the guidance of a trained alternative medicine practitioner. Our bio-identical creams are plant-based and customized to your needs. They’re designed to restore balance naturally, without the side effects often associated with synthetic hormones.

  • Can hormone imbalance affect weight loss and metabolism?

    Absolutely. Hormonal imbalances—especially involving cortisol, thyroid, insulin, or estrogen—can make it difficult to lose weight, even with diet and exercise. Once your hormones are back in balance, metabolism often improves, and weight begins to stabilize naturally.

  • How long does it take to see results from hormone balancing?

    Some clients start noticing improvements in energy, mood, and sleep within a few weeks. More complex imbalances may take a few months to fully regulate. Our approach focuses on consistent, natural progress—not quick fixes.
