Dr. Karalynne Blochberger joined us here at PROVOKE Health in Tampa in June of 2023 where she currently serves as Medical Director of our functional medicine and integrative healthcare practice.

Ask her and Dr. Blochberger gladly tell you that her decision to work alongside our founder, Dr. Matthew Lewis, was pragmatic: She wanted to help people figure out the “why” behind their symptoms in order to determine the “how” of their return to optimal health, quality of life, resiliency and confidence.

And that’s pretty much the philosophy behind Functional Medicine and Integrative Healthcare — especially as provided by the doctors and staff here at PROVOKE Health.

Born in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, where she spent her first decade of life, she and her family moved to Holland, Mich., where she completed her undergraduate studies at Hope College, graduating in 2012 with Bachelor of Arts degrees in both chemistry and Spanish. In 2017, Dr. Blochberger was awarded her Medical Degree from the College of Human Medicine at Michigan State University in East Lansing.

In other positions, Dr. Blochberger has worked as a physician at Access Primary Care in Orlando, and Advent Health Primary Care Plus, also in Orlando. She is board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) and is a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).

We asked this busy physician — who is known as “Doctor B” by her co-workers and patients — some personal questions, to which she was willing to respond. Get to know Dr. Blochberger, in her own words…
