Meet The Team

Danielle’s journey began at the age of 18 as a West Point Cadet and Army Cheerleader at the United States Military Academy, where she fell in love with her husband. She continues to serve her country and the women of her community as a Military Spouse, Certified Group Fitness Instructor, and a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner.  Danielle has three incredible daughters that bless her life with patience, love, and purpose.  She treasures family time, exercise, live music, outdoors, and delicious food.  With a “service first” heart, Danielle has lived in many unique locations and experienced healthcare at its best and its worst.   

Danielle dedicated years to serving patients, but became disenchanted with the limitations and inflexibility of traditional healthcare.  She suffered first-hand from lactose intolerance, debilitating IBS, and Hashimotos’s. Many providers gave her the same routine feedback - “your labs are in the normal range” - which never overcame her sluggishness and a feeling that something was missing.  They treated her symptoms, never her problems.  As a provider herself, Danielle met with thousands of postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause patients who were suffering from conventional treatments.  Henceforth, Danielle innately sought to be part of the solution; provide care - not sick care. 

Danielle believes in the power of balance and moderation.  Strong relationships, enriched  lifestyles, routine workouts, wholesome sleep, stress relief, the beautiful outdoors, love, and ultimately …  purpose …  all point to long, healthy, and happy lives.  Danielle believes in treating the whole picture of the whole patient.  Find the sweet spot to become your best Self, because you cannot pour from an empty cup.

Danielle resides in Huntsville, Alabama with her husband, three girls, and their blue Great Dane, Sam. 

Danielle wants every person to enjoy life and feel their best.  

Tiffany Flaten is the founder and president of Rock Bottom Wellness a functional nutrition company that helps people get their health back on track by looking at nutrient deficiencies that are at the root cause of the individuals’ symptoms so she is the perfect fit for Dr. Amie's team. 

Her clients include those who suffer with:

• thyroid conditions
• depression and anxiety
• blood sugar and hormonal imbalances
• fatigue
• chronic pain and…

those who have hit their “rock bottom.” She has both professional and personal experience with these health conditions. 

Before devoting her work full time to Rock Bottom Wellness, Tiffany was a high school Biology and Anatomy & Physiology teacher. Her love of education was impacted by her long-term undiagnosed health conditions. 

And, so her journey back to health began both personally and professionally. 

She realized quickly that she would have to take her health care into her own hands and she did so by digging deep into nutrition and furthering her education to help people in similar circumstances. She is also a Bestselling author of the Rock Bottom Thyroid Treatment, An 8 week Thyroid diet for People with “normal” test results to Thrive, Not Just Survive.

My name is Dr. Tiffany Garcia DCN, CNS. I earned my bachelor's in Exercise Science from Western Oregon University, my master’s in Clinical Nutrition from National University of Natural Medicine, and Doctorate in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States. In addition, I am also a Certified Nutrition Specialist from the American Nutrition Association and a Certified Hormone Specialist from NCI. I enjoy helping individuals regain their health through proper nutrition, lifestyle intervention, and holistic supplementation. I my free time I enjoy weightlifting, walking my dog, and spending time with friends & family.

I am a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner and registered nurse. I spent the majority of my nursing career in critical care. I approach all patients with a holistic view as that was the basis of my nursing program and career. 

I was born and raised in Texas. My own journey started about two years ago when I noticed that I was losing hair and tired all the time. Add that in with all the other stressors in my life and it made for a very frustrating time. I was told over and over that I was just getting older and that these symptoms were just part of becoming older. I refused to let that be, diving further into functional medicine knowing that each human being  requires different approaches to their health. This lead me to no longer accept the standard answer of your just becoming older and find help elsewhere.

The further I dove into functional medicine the more passion I developed for helping others! I believe in everyone finding what works for them and hope that I can be a part of their journey to healing. 

I spend my free time when I am not working with my family. We love to travel, go hiking and take our chocolate lab for walks.
