Our Story
Meet Dr. Maria Palafox
Dr. Maria Palafox is a board-certified general surgeon with a passion for helping people feel better — not just through procedures, but through prevention, nutrition, and lifestyle change. After years in traditional medicine, she saw firsthand how our healthcare system focuses on treating illness instead of preventing it. When a close family member suffered from chronic abdominal pain and digestive issues, Dr. Palafox realized the power of looking deeper — finding the root cause rather than masking symptoms. That experience sparked her journey into nutrition and lifestyle medicine.Today, through Wellness at Brooks, she helps patients take charge of their health using the six pillars of lifestyle medicine — nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, connection, and avoiding harmful substances — alongside personalized medical care. Her mission is simple: to help busy people feel better, age well, and live with energy andconfidence from the inside out.
