Meet Gabriela Baszton | TruWellnessMD Practice Owner

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

Hi Gabriela, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I firmly believe that calculated risks are essential for personal and professional growth. Throughout my life and career, I’ve embraced the idea that stepping out of my comfort zone and taking risks is necessary to achieve success and realize my dreams. Opening TruWellnessMD in Jupiter, Florida, was one such calculated risk that my husband and I undertook. We sold our house and one of our investment properties to pursue our vision of providing comprehensive care centered around our patients.

Taking the leap and selling our real estate assets was definitely a leap of faith. We joked that it was the ultimate exercise in “house flipping” – not the reality TV kind with sledgehammers and dramatic reveals, but the kind where you flip your house into a healthcare haven! While it was a nerve-wracking decision, we recognized that it was a necessary step towards building our dream practice and providing the best possible care to our community.

While taking risks can be daunting and uncomfortable, I’ve found that they often lead to the most significant opportunities for growth and innovation. By carefully assessing the potential outcomes and weighing the pros and cons, we can mitigate some of the uncertainties associated with risk-taking. However, there’s always an element of uncertainty, and that’s what makes it both frightening and exhilarating.

In my experience, the rewards of taking calculated risks far outweigh the fear of failure. They have enabled me to expand my horizons, learn valuable lessons, and ultimately achieve greater success in both my personal and professional life. Without taking risks, we limit our potential and miss out on opportunities for transformative change. Therefore, I believe that embracing calculated risks is not only necessary but also integral to realizing our full potential and driving meaningful growth.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I mean..I live in the most beautiful place in the world – Palm Beach County (although I might be biased) 😉 I thought I’d make a story out of this.

Picture this…your journey begins with the sun-kissed shores of Palm Beach Municipal Beach. Sink your toes into the soft sand, dive into the azure waters, and let the gentle ocean breeze wash away your worries. After a morning of blissful relaxation, indulge in fresh seafood delights at Benny’s on the Beach, with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Embrace the great outdoors with a kayak tour along the Loxahatchee River, where manatees glide beneath the surface and lush mangroves line the banks. Refuel with farm-to-table cuisine at Avocado Grill, then immerse yourself in art and culture at the Norton Museum of Art. As evening falls, dine waterfront at Waterway Cafe before venturing into the vibrant nightlife of Clematis Street.

Discover the artistic legacy of West Palm Beach at the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, where monumental sculptures harmonize with lush greenery. Savor modern American cuisine at Table 26 before stepping back in time at the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum, a testament to Gilded Age opulence. Conclude your day with a taste of Italy at Grato, followed by a captivating performance at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts.

Unwind with a day of pampering at The Breakers Palm Beach, where luxurious spa treatments and sun-drenched pools await. Delight in an al fresco lunch at The Circle, then stroll through the serene Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. As dusk descends, indulge in a culinary masterpiece at Cafe Boulud before setting sail on a romantic sunset cruise along the Intracoastal Waterway.

Embark on a snorkeling expedition to Peanut Island, where vibrant marine life thrives amidst crystal-clear waters. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the island’s pristine beaches before cycling along the scenic Lake Trail. As night falls, dine at The Regional Kitchen & Public House and explore the bustling shops and eateries of CityPlace.

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Jonathan Dickinson State Park, where hiking trails wind through ancient forests and airboat tours offer glimpses of Everglades wildlife. Recharge with a seafood feast at Guanabanas, then embark on a thrilling Night Safari at Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society.

Savor the final moments of your West Palm Beach adventure with a leisurely breakfast at The GreenMarket. Bid adieu to the sun-drenched shores of Midtown Beach before departing with cherished memories of your week-long journey through paradise.

See? I told you…the most beautiful place in the world 😉

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to dedicate my shoutout to my husband, Edwin Parrilla MD, the true visionary behind our journey with TruWellnessMD. Tired of the limitations of the traditional medical system, he dared to think outside the box and pursue a dream of providing unparalleled care to our patients. Edwin’s dedication is unmatched; from tirelessly working on patient cases to managing marketing campaigns overnight when others fell short, he wears many hats in our company. But above all, he’s a phenomenal doctor, a supportive partner, and a loving father. Together, we make a dream team, overcoming challenges and celebrating successes as one. I couldn’t ask for a better companion in both life and business.
