Cori Daniels earned her Bachelors of Science in Nursing from the University of Central Florida in 2006 and a Master’s in Nursing Practice from the University of South Alabama in 2011. She has dedicated her career to serving the community as a Nurse Practitioner, providing high-quality care for nearly a decade. However, a life-changing event in 2020 prompted her to reevaluate her approach to healthcare.
This pivotal moment led Cori to question conventional practices, realizing that simply prescribing medications and suggesting lifestyle changes without comprehensive guidance was insufficient. Frustrated by patients' lack of improvement, she sought to uncover the root causes of illness rather than accepting symptoms as inevitable.
Rekindling her original purpose, Cori underwent extensive training in functional medicine, focusing on root cause analysis, foundational health, and longevity. This transformative education has empowered her to practice medicine in alignment with her values, helping individuals reclaim their health through actionable steps rather than merely masking symptoms.
A true Floridian, Cori was born and raised in Merritt Island. She married her high school sweetheart, and they are raising three children together. The family embraces the outdoors through yoga, cooking, weightlifting, boating, fishing, hiking, and camping. Their passion for exploration and travel allows them to create cherished memories while discovering the beauty of nature and different cultures. Cori's commitment to a balanced and fulfilling life is something she strives to share with her patients.
