Alternative Wholistic Health

Alternative Wholistic Health is an Ocala-based sole-practitioner practice founded in 1981 by Michael Badanek. The practice takes an integrative approach that brings together functional medicine, alternative medicine, acupuncture, chiropractic care, clinical nutrition, and naturopathy. Its work centers on complex, long-standing health concerns and chronic conditions, with an emphasis on identifying underlying causes through blood work, laboratory analysis, nutritional testing, and clinical evaluation. The practice describes a whole-person model of care that considers body, mind, and spirit in the pursuit of balance and overall health.
