About Dr. Broughman

Dr. Broughman developed a passion for wholistic health and clinical nutrition when she was first introduced to functional medicine in 1989, after graduating from National University of Health Sciences in 1986. She practiced in integrative clinics until 2005, at which time she joined the faculty at Palmer Chiropractic College in Port Orange, Florida. She was a clinic faculty mentor for many years. During that time, she published and presented at many professional conferences and taught clinical nutrition classes. She earned her Diplomate in Clinical in Nutrition in 2006 and a Doctorate in Health Sciences from Nova Southeastern University in 2016. She also attained the rank of Professor while in the clinic. In 2018 she began teaching in the classroom full time, focusing on geriatrics, wellness, special populations and rehabilitation. She left Palmer in 2023 with the goal of practicing functional medicine. One of her greatest honors was being awarded Professor Emeritus from Palmer Chiropractic. Her goal is to help patients get to the root of their health challenges and to attain their highest and best health through natural and wholistic methods.

She lives in Daytona Beach, Florida, with her husband and her two dogs and a kitty. In her spare time, she is a writer and a poet, and she enjoys the out-of-doors, camping, hiking, photography, and exploring new places. She is excited to be part of the Aligned Medical Team, where we are changing the health of the world one patient at a time.
