Health Optimization Programs by Telehealth in Florida
Florida already has a functional medicine telehealth page on this site. This page is for something different.
Functional Medicine Telehealth in Florida is the home for Personalized Clinical Care: doctor-led functional medicine with Dr. Chris Chianese, MS, DC, CPSC, IFM FMCP, for more complex or ongoing illness, by secure video, with no Florida office. If that is the care you need, go there. This page is for the twelve Health Optimization Programs — structured 6- or 12-month pathways for people who want a proactive plan around longevity, heart health, metabolism, hormones, energy, and related goals, even if they are not dealing with a major or complex condition.
Both offers are open to Florida residents. Both are video only. Neither one includes a chiropractic adjustment in Florida, because Your Health Now has no clinic in the state. The two physical offices remain 5 W Chestnut Ave, Merchantville, NJ 08109, and 350 N Main St #201, Chalfont, PA 18914. If you will not be traveling to either one, do not expect a local hands-on visit to be part of either pathway.
What is available in Florida — and what is not
Available to Florida residents:
- All twelve Health Optimization Programs, by secure video, starting with a complimentary 30-minute consult and, if you continue, a 90-minute telehealth visit.
- Personalized Clinical Care, on the Florida functional medicine telehealth page, for chronic, complex, or unresolved cases.
- Booking through Jane App or by calling (609) 651-7436.
Not available in Florida:
- A Your Health Now office, a physical exam, or an adjustment. Those happen only in Merchantville or Chalfont.
- A single “Florida package” that mixes a Health Optimization Program and Personalized Clinical Care into one product. They are different pathways. The free consult is where you choose.
- A prediction of a particular result. Program details are covered in the consult.
- A blanket licensing claim. As the Florida functional medicine page already states, telehealth licensing rules vary by state and by provider type, and the team confirms licensing and scope of practice before a first visit. This page does not add a new licensing statement on top of that.
Tampa, Orlando, and Miami all show measurable “functional medicine + city” search volume. This is still a statewide page, not a city page, and we are not creating a Tampa, Orlando, or Miami URL as part of this batch. Residents in those metros, in Jacksonville, in Tallahassee, and in the panhandle use the same two statewide pathways.
How care works from Florida, including the panhandle clock
Most of Florida, including Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee, is on Eastern time, the same clock as our clinics. The western panhandle, including Pensacola and Panama City, is on Central time, one hour behind. If you live on the Central-time side of the state, subtract an hour from the booking calendar. An 8:00 a.m. Eastern slot is 7:00 a.m. in Pensacola. The posted Monday–Friday hours of 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern run 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Central.
The complimentary consult is a fit check with Dr. Chris, not a treatment visit and not a diagnosis. If a Health Optimization Program is the right path, it begins with a 90-minute telehealth visit: intake, goal setting, and the choice of a 6-month or 12-month pathway. If Personalized Clinical Care is the right path, follow the process described on the Florida functional medicine page rather than starting a program that is not built for a complex case. Professional supplements, when recommended in a program, are purchased separately.
Florida health picture, and which programs are most relevant here
These figures are about the state, not about outcomes in our practice.
Florida is older than the country, and older than the other states in this first group. The Census Bureau’s 2024 American Community Survey 1-year estimates put 21.8% of Florida’s population at age 65 or older, compared with 18.0% nationally, 20.4% in Pennsylvania, 18.9% in New York, 18.0% in New Jersey, and 16.5% in California. That is the main reason this page leads with the Longevity & Healthy Aging Program, for people who want a proactive plan around energy, cognitive function, and longer-term wellness, and the Heart Health Optimization Program, for people who want a structured look at cardiovascular wellness and family history. DataForSEO also measures a small volume for “longevity clinic florida.” Your Health Now is not a walk-in longevity clinic in Florida; it is a video program with no local office. Neither of those programs is emergency or hospital care, and neither replaces a Florida physician when urgent symptoms appear.
The CDC’s 2024 BRFSS adult obesity maps put Florida at 29.6%. For residents whose goals involve weight change, cravings, or metabolism, the Healthy Weight & Metabolism Program is the third pathway this page emphasizes. The other nine programs remain open to Florida residents and are described on the main programs page.
If the reason you are searching is a long, complicated illness rather than a proactive plan, do not start here. Use Functional Medicine Telehealth in Florida. If fatigue, hormones, or gut health is part of the picture and you are still sorting out which path you are on, the articles on functional medicine and fatigue, hormones and thyroid, and gut health are useful background before the consult.
Who you see
Telehealth visits, on both the program pathway and the Florida functional medicine pathway, are with Dr. Chris Chianese. He is a Doctor of Chiropractic with a Master of Science in Applied Nutrition, the CPSC credential he founded, and the IFM FMCP credential through the Institute for Functional Medicine. He is not an MD, and he is not a naturopathic physician. Florida People Also Ask results sometimes ask about naturopathic medical school in the state or about “top healthcare providers in Florida.” We will not publish a ranking of Florida health systems, and we are not a naturopathic school or clinic. His biography is on Meet the Doctor.
How to start
Book a complimentary 30-minute consult through Jane App, or call (609) 651-7436. Convert the slot if you live in the Central-time panhandle. If you already know you need Personalized Clinical Care, start from Functional Medicine Telehealth in Florida instead. All published states are listed on the states hub. Clinic addresses, for anyone who will travel, are on Locations. In-person family chiropractic care is only at those two offices, not in Florida. For a general question, contact us.

Questions from Florida
How is this page different from Functional Medicine Telehealth in Florida?
This page is for the twelve Health Optimization Programs, which are proactive, structured pathways. Functional Medicine Telehealth in Florida is for Personalized Clinical Care, the pathway for more complex or ongoing illness. Both are open to Florida residents, both are video only, and the free consult is where you choose.
Is there a Your Health Now office in Florida?
No. The only physical clinics are in Merchantville, New Jersey, and Chalfont, Pennsylvania. Florida residents are seen by telehealth only, for both programs and functional medicine.
I live in Pensacola or Panama City. How do I book?
You are on Central time, one hour behind the booking calendar. Subtract an hour from the Eastern-time slot you see. Most of the rest of Florida, including Tampa, Orlando, and Miami, stays on Eastern time and does not convert.
Can I get a chiropractic adjustment in Florida through this program?
No. Adjustments and physical exams are only at the New Jersey and Pennsylvania clinics. Florida Health Optimization visits are video only, just as Florida functional medicine visits are video only.
Does a functional medicine or health optimization clinician have to go to medical school?
Not always. Dr. Chris is a chiropractic physician with a master’s in applied nutrition and the IFM FMCP credential, not an MD and not a naturopathic doctor. His training is on Meet the Doctor.
What is the difference between functional medicine and holistic medicine?
Those labels are used loosely, and they are not interchangeable licenses. At Your Health Now, Florida residents can use a structured Health Optimization Program or, when the case is more complex, Personalized Clinical Care, both with Dr. Chris, by video. This page does not compare every holistic or naturopathic model in Florida.
Where do I ask how a Florida program is set up?
Program details are covered in the complimentary 30-minute consult, or by calling (609) 651-7436. If you live in the Central-time panhandle, convert the slot before you confirm it.
I live in Tampa, Orlando, or Miami. Is there a city-specific program?
No. Care is statewide. The program and the functional medicine pathway are the same offer whether you live in those metros or elsewhere in Florida. We are not launching city pages in this batch.

The complimentary consult is a fit check on video. It is not a diagnosis, and it does not start a pathway by itself.
