Although Bree has a strong foundation in emergency and primary care, her true passion lies in functional health. At Woywood, she offers integrative and regenerative medicine, using in-depth assessments that include advanced lab testing, hormone analysis, and diagnostics to uncover the root causes of issues like gut health challenges, autoimmune conditions, neurocognitive decline, and chronic inflammation. She then creates personalized treatment plans that may include bio-identical hormone therapy, targeted supplements, regenerative treatments (PRP, exosomes, stem cells), IV therapy, peptides, and weight management support.
Beyond her clinical work, Bree has dedicated 22 years to military medical service, blending active duty, reserves, and Air National Guard. She now serves with the Texas National Guard on a Homeland Response Force, providing emergency response and disaster medicine. She has also trained and led medical teams in austere environments and completed advanced tactical combat medical training.
Outside of medicine, Bree and her husband Chris have been married for 25 years and are raising three children—Cori, Sawyer, and Keric. She believes deeply in living with energy and vitality and is passionate about helping others find their way back to better health, joy, and a more vibrant life.
