I’m Margarita Rice, a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Brain Body Well. I help busy men and women who feel foggy, fatigued, or hormonally out of sync finally get clear answers and a structured plan to feel like themselves again.

I built this practice because too many patients were being dismissed, over-medicated, or told their labs were “normal” when their life clearly wasn’t. 

MEET YOUR PROVIDER

Founder of Brain Body Well

Hi, I'm Margarita

My work combines advanced diagnostics, hormone optimization, metabolic medicine, and mental health expertise to uncover what’s actually driving your symptoms. My approach is direct, practical, and evidence-driven. I’m not here to sell magic fixes or 30-day miracles. I’m here to look at the whole picture—your hormones, metabolism, neurotransmitters, sleep, stress patterns, daily habits—and give you a plan that makes sense and actually works.

Before launching Brain Body Well, I spent years in family medicine and psychiatry. That background trained me to see how deeply physical, hormonal, and emotional systems intersect. Today, I use that integrated perspective to guide patients through structured programs that restore clarity, stability, and vitality across the board.

I work best with men and women who are motivated, curious, tired of feeling “off,” and ready to take ownership of their health with expert guidance. If that’s you, you’ll be a good fit here. If you’re ready for a provider who will actually listen, question assumptions, and help you get real traction—not just another prescription—you're in the right place.

Data matters... but so does being heard. 

In my personal life, I am a married mother of three adult children and my biggest fans call me Momo (my grandma name). I am a follower of Christ and respect your right to your own spirituality.

Our Values

I believe human beings are intricately designed and capable of restoration. My practice is built on the intersection of science and a biblical worldview. I view my work as helping you steward your health—removing the biological interference of metabolic and hormonal dysfunction so you can fulfill your calling with a clear mind and a strong body.

Our Philosophy

What high-functioning women need to understand about mood changes, sleep disruption, weight resistance, and cognitive shifts in their 40s.
