5 Essential Pillars of Health
Let's balance your hormones naturally. We test, we don’t guess. No pills. No creams. No shots. Just your body working with you on your wellness journey.
Hormones
Fuel your body with the right nutrients. Remove the toxins standing in the way of how good you're meant to feel. Food is medicine.
Nutrition
Movement is medicine. And fun fact: your lymphatic system doesn't have a pump. It needs you to move to flush out toxins and keep things flowing.
Fitness
Toxins hide in places you'd never expect. When we clear them out, everything works better. Energy, hormones, digestion, even your mood.
Detox
You're never alone. Our expert guidance and community support keep you motivated and on track.

About Julie Preas
Lifestyle Coach & Founder, Pura Vida Collective Functional Medicine
For 23 years, I worked as a nurse inside the medical system. I cared deeply for my patients, but handing out cups of pills never sat right with me. I knew there had to be a better way to help people actually heal, not just manage symptoms.
That belief pushed me into functional medicine and lifestyle medicine, and it completely changed my own life. After years of chronic pain and feeling dismissed, I finally found answers that made sense. My body wasn’t failing me — it was speaking a language no one had taught me to understand.
Now I teach women how to understand their bodies too.
My work is simple and real, whether you’re meeting with me online or inside my brick and mortar space here in Dayton, Ohio. No overwhelm. No complicated protocols. Just practical steps, functional testing when needed, and the kind of support that helps you feel seen, heard, and hopeful again.
This work is personal to me, and I pour my whole heart into helping you feel like yourself again.
If you’re ready for a different experience with your health, you’re in the right place.

"I'm feeling much better overall and have more energy in the afternoon, which is unusual for me
I am so grateful for the mentoring aspect of the detox program. Julie's support, guidance and wise counsel have been a game charger!
What has surprised me the most is how much weight I've lost. Down 30lbs. I haven't been at this weight since I was in college!”

"Before starting this program, I felt like my health was slipping through my fingers. Now, just three months in, I feel like a completely different person.
I've lost 10 pounds and inches, but more importantly, I feel lighter emotionally and physically.
My mood is stable, I don't feel like l'm on an emotional roller coaster anymore, and I finally feel in control of my reactions.
My pain is gone, my energy is through the roof, and I'm sleeping soundly every night.
This program gave me my life back. I feel like I'm healing from the inside out."

"I am off of my Trazodone!
I have more energy at the end of my day than at the start [and] I have more energy now than I did on energy drinks!! I'm so blown away!
I feel a lot more whole than when I started.
I'm practicing being grateful for my choices and things that I eat - good and bad and I'm finding that it's life changing to think like that! I can't believe how proud of myself I've become!"
