You are doing everything right
Eating well, moving, sleeping when you can — and still waking tired. The problem is rarely effort. It is usually that the effort is aimed at the wrong things for your biology.

Born in 1973, Dr. Ivana Paz was raised in Serbia before immigrating to the United States at twenty-two — beginning a transformative journey that would shape her approach to medicine and wellness.
She completed her medical degree at the American University of the Caribbean and finished her family medicine residency training at York Hospital in York, Pennsylvania. Early in her medical career she practiced as a family medicine physician within a multispecialty primary care group in Maryland, followed by clinical roles in urgent care and advanced urgent care settings in Baltimore City. She later joined the Millennium Physician Group practice in Naples, Florida, where she continued to refine her understanding of patient-centered care.
Before pursuing medicine, Dr. Paz worked as a professional massage therapist, developing a deep appreciation for hands-on healing and the mind-body connection. She was also a semi-professional athlete in team handball while living in Serbia, which instilled in her a discipline and commitment to excellence that carries through her work today.
Driven by curiosity about the limitations of conventional medicine, I found in epigenetics the bridge between what science measures and what the whole person needs. Dr. Ivana Paz
Her advanced studies in epigenetics and nutrigenomics revealed how nutrition, environment, toxins and belief systems directly influence genetic expression. She completed one year of intensive study at the Rhys Thomas Institute, immersing herself in energy healing modalities and expanding her understanding of whole-person wellness.
Today, Dr. Paz is the founder of Dr. Paz Vital Flow, an integrative wellness coaching practice dedicated to helping professional women over 40 reclaim their energy and vitality. Her mission is to bridge conventional medicine and integrative healing, using science-backed personalization to create sustainable transformation in her clients' lives.
True healing moves at the speed of trust — with your body, your rhythms, and the season you are in. Dr. Ivana Paz, Founder
