Why the MD matters
A physician first.
Much of functional and hormone medicine is practiced by people who are not physicians. Dr. Andarcia is a medical doctor.
She earned an MD, completed a full residency in internal medicine, and holds board certification from the American Board of Internal Medicine — the same training and the same credential as any hospital internist. The integrative work came afterward: a fellowship at the University of Arizona's Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, certification through the Institute for Functional Medicine, and a Menopause Society certification specific to midlife hormonal care.
That order is the whole point. Integrative medicine sits on top of a conventional diagnostic foundation rather than in place of one. She can order and interpret the testing, recognize when a symptom is not hormonal at all, refer when something belongs to another specialty, and prescribe when prescribing is the right answer.

About
Western medicine, and the centuries that came before it.
Dr. Victoria Andarcia is a Sarasota physician who treats the hormonal transitions most clinics rush past — perimenopause, menopause, and the imbalances that quietly reshape energy, mood, metabolism and sleep. She is board-certified in internal medicine, and everything integrative she does is built on top of that.
The order of her training was deliberate: medical school, a full internal medicine residency, and board certification through the American Board of Internal Medicine, and only then the Andrew Weil Fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona and further certification through the Institute for Functional Medicine.
She works with the patients conventional workups tend to lose — the ones whose bloodwork reads clean while their lives get smaller.
Born in Venezuela and now practicing in Sarasota, Florida, she sees patients through Reveal Vitality and hosts Conversations with Dr. Victoria Andarcia, a podcast on women's hormonal health now past fifty episodes. Her approach starts from the whole person rather than the isolated result, bringing a holistic lens to longevity and helping patients feel their best at every stage of life.
Integrative health takes the best of traditional, Western-style medicine and combines it with ancient techniques that have been successfully used for centuries. Sarasota Stories, Ep. 004
