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.
