Meet Douglas Caporrino | Functional Medicine Nutritionist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Douglas Caporrino and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Douglas, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
For years I saw so much misinformation in the wellness industry and felt a need for a central place that people could go to get the truth and options for their health. I use to hear the media report on studies and read in tabloids that the study said, but no one ever questioned the study or looked into who funded it and who the participants were. I follow the money trail and peel back the layers of the onion so people can make the best choice based on their needs.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
For over 15 years I traveled the world lecturing on wellness and was always asked why don’t I write a book. After years of procrastinating I finally did and its success far exceeded any expectations I might have had. Within 48hrs of the launch it went viral and was being read all over the world. I was truly humbled and had a huge attitude of gratitude for the support. “Tell Me, Teach Me, Heal Me, How to get healthy before you die trying” has been the culmination of much of my life work. The testimonials that arrive daily from readers on how the book has changed and even saved their lives based on the information has brought tears to my eyes. The beginning part of the book is dedicated to my mom who went through many health challenges in her life and was the drive for me to finally write the book. I also speak about my own challenges as well but you’ll have to read the book to find them out. 🙂

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
South Florida has many amazing places. For someone visiting here I think the everglades and the natural wildlife it has to offer is like no other. Walking on the beach for a sunrise or sunset is a dream come true here. I use to hear people say you can’t get great Italian food here, but I disagree I think South Florida has some of the most eclectic and good food that anyplace has to offer. From Miami to Jupiter, you can enjoy outside dining while enjoying nature at it’s best.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
One of the first books I read was Power vs Force by Dr. David Hawkins that really resonated with me on the power of the human body and consciousness. I also have to give a huge amount of credit to the Chiropractic community for their love and support for all the years I lectured on their platforms.
