About Re-Balance Health & Wellness

Our experienced team, led by Darin and Laura Zimmerman, offers a unique approach to healthcare that focuses on addressing the root causes of your health concerns and helping you live a better, more fulfilling life.

Darin Zimmerman, MD

Co-founder and Medical Director

After years of practicing traditional medicine in academic hospitals and community-based settings, Darin embarked on a transformative journey toward functional medicine, including completing a fellowship in Longevity Medicine. Driven by a desire for a more holistic approach to healthcare, he immersed himself in the principles and practices of functional medicine, focusing on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than simply treating symptoms. He has also received specialized extensive training in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, further expanding his ability to help patients optimize their health, restore balance, and enhance overall well-being.

Juggling a demanding career as an intensivist during the COVID-19 pandemic while raising three young children, Darin personally experienced the challenges of aging and the limitations of traditional healthcare. His journey led him to a more proactive approach to patient care.

By working collaboratively with his patients, Darin creates personalized functional medicine plans to address their unique needs. This approach makes it easier to achieve lasting, meaningful results. Taking the first step with Darin can be the beginning of a transformative journey toward optimal health and wellness.

Laura Zimmerman, APRN

Co-Founder & Health Coach

Laura has been a Registered Nurse since 2010 and a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist since 2014.
With a passion for preventive medicine and functional health, she is dedicated to helping patients achieve optimal wellness through a comprehensive, individualized approach. Laura has specialized training in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, integrative health coaching and has completed a fellowship in Anti-Aging and Metabolic Medicine.

Laura’s commitment to functional medicine is deeply personal. After struggling with debilitating symptoms—including chronic fatigue, brain fog, and night sweats—she embarked on her own journey to uncover the root causes of her health challenges. Through balancing her hormones and restoring gut health, she experienced a remarkable transformation that reignited her energy, vitality, and overall well-being.

Inspired by these life-changing results, Laura co-founded Re-Balance Health & Wellness with her husband, Darin, to help others achieve the same level of health and vitality. She believes that true wellness comes from addressing the underlying causes of illness, not simply managing symptoms.

When you work with Laura, you gain a dedicated partner who is committed to supporting and empowering you every step of your health journey.

FAQ’s

Do I feel this way because I am getting older?

Growing older brings change, but constantly feeling exhausted, foggy, inflamed, or unlike yourself shouldn’t simply be accepted as normal.
While hormone changes and aging influence how the body functions, they don’t explain every symptom. Many women are told their symptoms are “just aging” when there are underlying factors that deserve attention.
Our goal is to help you understand what’s driving your symptoms so you can feel stronger, healthier, and more like yourself again.
Can you help if I don't have a diagnosis?

Yes.
You don’t need a diagnosis to know something doesn’t feel right.
Many women come to us because they have symptoms that affect their quality of life even though they haven’t been diagnosed with a specific medical condition.
We believe your symptoms matter. Our role is to listen carefully, look for patterns, and identify the factors that may be contributing to how you’re feeling so we can create a personalized plan to help you move forward.
Do you take care of men?

Yes!
Men experience many of the same health concerns, including fatigue, low energy, weight gain, brain fog, digestive issues, poor sleep, hormone imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation. We take the same personalized, root-cause approach to men’s health by looking beyond symptoms to better understand what’s contributing to how they’re feeling.

Whether you’re looking to optimize your health, improve your energy, support healthy aging, or address ongoing symptoms, we’ll create a personalized plan designed around your unique needs and goals.

Our mission is simple: to help every patient better understand their body, restore their health, and feel their best.
Why don't I feel like myself anymore?

If you’ve been asking yourself this question, you’re not alone. Many of the patients we care for describe feeling exhausted, struggling with brain fog, gaining weight despite healthy habits, or simply not recognizing themselves anymore.

While these changes are common, they shouldn’t simply be accepted as “just getting older.” Hormones may be part of the picture, but they’re rarely the whole story. Gut health, inflammation, metabolism, nutrition, sleep, stress, and other underlying factors can all influence how you feel.

At Re-Balance Health & Wellness, we don’t just ask, “What’s wrong?” We ask, “What is your body trying to tell us?” By understanding the whole picture, we create a personalized plan designed to help you restore your health and feel like yourself again.
Can hormones affect gut health?

100%!

Hormones and gut health are closely connected. Hormonal changes can influence digestion, the balance of bacteria in your gut, bowel habits, and even how your body processes and eliminates estrogen.

At the same time, an unhealthy gut can affect inflammation, nutrient absorption, and hormone metabolism. That’s why we don’t look at hormones or gut health in isolation. Understanding how these systems work together helps us create a more complete and personalized plan for your health.
