Had I not experienced for myself, I would not have believed it. The first change that amazed me was I could modify my taste buds. Foods I never liked I now enjoy the taste and prefer them. Addictive food (International Coffee Café Vienna in my case) is no longer desired. I had been drinking that super sweet, dessert tasting, foo-foo coffee for 25 years at about 5 cups per day. It took me finding Dr K to learn enough to understand what I am doing to myself. After I attended Dr K and Jonny’s juice party I knew I had to obtain a juicer. Jonny recommended a juicer for me and I have used it every day since. It is so much fun! It is like a new world opened up for me. The second change that amazed me was how all my pains and discomforts disappeared and my energy level was increased (first noticed while I was experiencing the 3-week elimination of specific foods diet). The mid-afternoon tired feeling has disappeared. I’ve learned, and am still learning, so much about my body and what foods it prefers not to have put in my mouth. The entire learning experience should be taught to all children in school. My overall health feels like that of someone twenty years younger. I jump out of bed in the morning and have no restrictions on my movements throughout the day. No prescription medicine has ever worked this way. And, a bonus side effect of this experience is the weight loss. Now that is one side effect everyone would like. The third change is the reaction I receive from friends and family. Their look on their face is that of WOW. . . and then they want to know my secret. It isn’t just the weight loss but an entirely healthy look about me. Thank you Dr K and Jonny for your time and energy. Even though I had been researching nutrition for years, I needed you to put it in perspective for me to apply to myself. TAZ

I didnt know it was possible to feel this good without the use of drugs (prescription or otherwise). Dr. Kozlowski has truly changed my life. I came in the office for the first time about a month ago with a slew of symptoms including mild depression, anxiety, alopecia, and stomach issues (like regular bloating, gas and indigestion- despite a relatively clean diet). Dr. Koz listened closely to the symptoms I was experiencing, analyzed the data I provided about my medical history, and determined which tests/labs needed to be administered to get to the root of the issues. He then suggested the proper supplements to use and minor lifestyle changes to make to address the discovered deficiencies. I took them. I now wake up in the morning with energy, you could even say Im "chipper", without the use of caffeine (which is completely new to me). I have a smile on my face at my office, so frequently that people feel inclined to approach me with issues, rather than send emails. My digestion has improved DRASTICALLY. The gas/bloating/indigestion is gone, and my bathroom habits are regulated. My performance in the gym has improved immeasurably. I bring a newfound energy to every class that has me attaining results at a far faster pace, and inspiring my teammates. I feel great. I really cannot express how grateful I am to have found Dr. Kozlowski, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, DOC!!!

I am 48 years old and have searched most of my adult life to figure out why my body was not healthy. I suffered from extreme PMS, depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, I could not lose weight no matter how hard I focused and tried. I knew there had to be an underlying cause. Dr Kozlowski has finally opened up that door for me and come up with a plan that is going to lead to the second 1/2 of my life being vital, strong, healthy and happy. Functional Medicine doctors are like soil farmers. They create a healthy soil, so pests can’t come and weeds can’t flourish. A healthy soil means disease can’t come. You want to do everything possible to cultivate healthy soil so disease doesn’t have a place to take root. I strongly encourage anyone that is searching for answers to see Dr Kozlowski, he is extremely knowledgeable, likable and will lead you on a path that you have always know is out there and wanted to be on. I feel very fortunate to have found him. Thanks Dr Koz!

We have been working with Dr. K for a few months now and have been so grateful for all his help! Our daughter is almost 3 years old and has speech apraxia, hypotonia and a developmental delay. Since following Dr. K’s program of dietary changes and supplements we have seen tremendous progress with our daughter. Since working with Dr. K we have seen improvements with her sleep, mood, digestion, energy levels, fine and gross motor and most importantly speech. Functional medicine and Dr. K has been able to fill the big gaps that allopathic medicine was unable to help us with. We are so grateful for all the time Dr. K spends with us and he is always happy to answer all our questions. I have never worked with a physician who enjoys educating his patients and who will explain every step of his plan in detail. Working with Dr. K has been absolutely wonderful and I am excited to continue to watch our daughter make progress!

I was thrilled to discover that we have a functional medical doctor with Dr. Kozlowskis credentials in the Destin area! The vast majority of doctors treat symptoms with medications. Not Dr. Koz. Using functional medicine, he seeks the root cause, bringing the body back into balance for consistent, long term health. He has studied with the most respected names in holistic health, including Chopra, Blum and Hyman. On a personal note, Dr. Koz became my primary physician immediately prior to my receiving a serious health diagnosis. Despite my new history with him, he has shown a high level of care and concern. contacting me regularly and remaining involved in my complicated case, providing medical insight as needed. If you are seeking a highly skilled health advocate who can help you achieve optimal health in body, mind and spirit, I highly recommend Dr. Koz.

As a patient, it was easy for me to sign in and be seen. Dr. Kozlowski answered my questions and showed genuine concern for my overall health. I believe in Functional Medicine and am so happy he is here on the Emerald Coast. I have recommended him to several co-workers, friends, and family because his practice is straight-forward and gets you onto better health by doing a complete work-up. If interested, ask about the Elimination diet! Lauren is the Nutritionist and she is knowledgeable about the elimination process and was helpful in giving suggestions. Knowing what foods were causing inflammation to my body has helped me become a healthier person and live a better lifestyle. For me the added plus was walking out of the exam room knowing more about healthcare than I did walking into it! I am a patient for life!

So very blessed, thankful & excited to see a functional medicine doctor in this area! I have been battling auto-immune diseases for almost 10 years and no one else understands the concept of treating the whole person. Dr. Koz does and he made me feel so comfortable and gave me so much hope after meeting with him just the first time. To have a knowledgeable, caring physician who has YOUR best interest at heart is very rare these days. He was interested in getting me, all of me, healthy; not getting me to buy into big pharma and in my opinion that speaks volumes. He & Lauren are extremely nice and genuine and I look forward to building a long lasting patient/doctor relationship with them both. Thanks Dr. Koz for genuinely listening to me and having my best interest in mind.
