Bridging the Gap: Integrative Health in Orlando at Eros Bodyworks

At Eros Bodyworks in Orlando, we take a different approach to wellness—one that blends the best of both worlds: Western and holistic medicine. We sit comfortably in the middle of these two philosophies. If you have a headache and choose to take ibuprofen, there's no judgment here. But our goal is to help you figure out why you keep getting headaches in the first place. That’s the heart of integrative health—addressing the root cause, not just managing symptoms.

What is Integrative Health?

Integrative health is a science-based, whole-body approach that looks beyond individual symptoms to uncover deeper imbalances. Our ideal clients are those who have ongoing symptoms—fatigue, low testosterone, digestive issues, brain fog, chronic pain—yet their doctors tell them everything looks “normal.” If that sounds familiar, we’re here to help.

As board-certified integrative health practitioners, we do not diagnose or treat disease. Instead, we use a functional approach to assess patterns of imbalance in the body. This process aligns with the Naturopathic Order of Medicine Pyramid, where we focus on the first three foundational layers:

1. Foundational Health Support – Nutrition, lifestyle, movement, and sleep optimization.

2. Engaging the Body’s Self-Healing Mechanisms – Stress management, targeted supplementation, and gut health support.

3. Addressing Functional Imbalances – Lab testing to identify underlying dysfunctions, rather than chasing symptoms.

   
   

We do not replace your physician; instead, we complement their work by bridging the gap between conventional medicine and functional wellness. We work alongside medical providers and even have partnerships with lab companies like Quest Diagnostics to offer insights that standard healthcare often overlooks.

How We Identify the Root Cause

One key concept we emphasize is Metabolic Chaos®, a term coined in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) that describes how dysfunction in one area of the body can create symptoms elsewhere. Instead of focusing on a single problem area, we take a nonspecific approach—looking at multiple systems at once to uncover the underlying causes of symptoms. This is where lab testing becomes essential. Through comprehensive assessments, we evaluate key areas like hormonal balance, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammation levels, all of which can contribute to issues like:

• Men’s health concerns like low testosterone, adrenal dysfunction, and poor recovery

• Chronic fatigue and brain fog

• Gut issues like bloating, IBS, and food sensitivities**

• Weight management struggles despite diet and exercise

• Stress-related symptoms affecting sleep, energy, and mood**

If you're searching for low testosterone testing in Orlando or comprehensive men's health support, Eros Bodyworks provides integrative health services in Orlando to help address the root cause of your symptoms.

Not Your Typical ‘Natural’ Health Approach

We believe in a balanced approach to wellness. We are natural, but not the ‘essential oils on a broken foot’ kind of natural. That means while we use non-invasive, holistic methods, we also respect and acknowledge the role of modern medicine. Our work is not about replacing medication or rejecting science—it’s about helping your body function optimally so that you can feel your best.

What We’re Not

We are not licensed healthcare providers, and we do not diagnose or treat disease. Our goal is not to label conditions but to address the imbalances contributing to your symptoms. This distinction is important because it allows us to focus on prevention and optimization rather than pathology. If you’re looking for a different perspective on your health journey, we provide that missing piece.
