Joanna Dara

Licensed In-House Nutritionist and Female Lifestyle Educator

Joanna is a Florida native who, before becoming a Licensed Nutritionist/Dietician and Hormone Specialist, earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications and Public Relations. At the age of 22, she began a career as an advertising executive for a large company in South Florida.

As the single mom of an active son, she soon realized that teaching him a healthy lifestyle would need to be done through actions, not words. Having a lifelong interest in nutrition and wellness already, she went back to continue her education at FAU and received her Masters in Health and Nutrition. At this time, she began transforming her personal physique and would go on to compete in the NPC (National Physique Committee) as a Bikini competitor.

Joanna started her Career with Hormone Logics in 2012 and was given the opportunity to expand their services to focus on women’s hormone health and nutrition, which was something most wellness centers did not offer at that time. In 2013, knowing that diet and exercise is only one part of the journey towards optimal health, she went on to further her education and become a Hormone Specialist through the practitioner course at American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. This is when she created her platform to educate women on their hormone heath, by doing comprehensive bloodwork and GI testing – as she would say, “The Blueprint” of our bodies.

Since then, the female hormone world has grown tremendously. Even with all the growth, Joanna always maintained her true passion and honest dedication to helping woman become the healthiest and happiest versions of themselves, while creating plans specific to each individuals’ needs and goals. She realizes everyone has different needs and nothing should ever be cookie cutter, especially when it comes to hormone health.

Over the years, Joanna has gone on to receive multiple certifications and online specialty degrees. She has also had the opportunity to be invited on many different podcasts and to many live speaking events.

Even with all her years of education and hands on work with women in the hormone world, her greatest form of education came when she was diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Cancer in September 2018. Luckily with her knowledge of hormones and advocating for her heath, she received the correct diagnosis from a practitioner who was truly willing to listen to her. If you ask her now about how she handled the diagnosis and going through the treatment, she will tell you that she is so grateful because it has allowed her to help others be “proactive” in their health, rather than “reactive” to the protentional disease.

On a daily basis, Joanna continues to help women (and men) in uncovering “The Cause” , rather than just treating “The Symptoms” like most places do. She prides herself on listening to each of her patients, so they feel heard.

Joanna’s greatest passion in life, outside of being a mom, is to educate her patients so that they can advocate for their own health along their journey, while assisting them to embrace the many wonderful benefits of mental and physical wellbeing.
