When it comes to healthcare, there is a new trend emerging. Homeopathy has been gaining popularity recently however, its roots are old. New practices such as that of Dr. Don Colbert utilize old wisdom combined with new knowledge and technologies. Homeopathic medicine focuses a lot on preventative health care. Taking care of the bodies needs and doing regular ‘maintenance’ makes for a healthier body and fewer issues.
Dr. Don Colbert: A Man Of Faith And Medicine
Dr. Don Colbert, M.D. graduated from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1984. Then he moved to Central Florida to do his residency. He has now been practicing medicine for over twenty years. Along the way, Colbert has also received extensive training in nutritional and preventative medicine.

Meet The Team
Kelly Rivera is Dr. Colbert’s medical assistant and had been at Divine Health and Wellness since 2002. She has a B.S. in Communicative Disorders from the University of Central Florida. Kelly is also a Certified Spectra Vision Bio-balance Practitioner, Certified Nutritional Consultant, and a CEDSA Certified Technician. CEDSA (Computerized Electro Dermal Stress Analysis) is done with Bio feedback testing. This system of prognosis is based on the Chinese Medical Theory of improper energy flow through the acupuncture meridian points of the body.
Rivera also can provide EON emotional clearing treatments. She will use Bach Flower system and other emotional balancing frequencies to aid in finding the root emotional traumas. Through these systems, the body is able to let go of these old toxic emotions and negative beliefs. They claim the result is more clarity with less anxiety and fear in daily life.
Emotox Low Level Laser Induction Therapy is another technology Kelly utilizes. Emotox treatments use a low level laser to send the frequency signature of a specific allergen into acupuncture points on the ear and body. The meridians that correspond to the major organ systems are stimulated by the laser to make a positive association with the allergen. Basically, this trains the energetic pathways to not reject this normally harmless substance.
Misty McClure is also a medical assistant of Dr. Colbert. She is a massage therapist and has been practicing for 5 years. Misty has a background in accident recovery therapeutic massage and has recently gotten a certification as a Patient Care Technician.
Dr. Don Colbert’s Main Services
Divine Wellness has a wide array of services they offer for both preventative and curative health care. The main services he offers on his official website are bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, disease specific diet plans, stress reduction, and emotional therapy, detoxification, and structural adjustment.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormones are messengers that travel through the bloodstream to relay important information to specific cells. They help regulate the processes of the body dealing with reproduction, growth, and metabolism. The formation and secretion of these hormones are essential for the body to function normally. Hormones also repair, restore, and rejuvenate the body.
As the body ages, it can become harder for the body to produce hormones and they claim the imbalance can have negative effects on overall health. These bio-identical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones that the body makes, but are sourced from soy and other plants.
Disease Specific Diet Plans
Dr. Colbert claims one of the main, and overlooked, causes of chronic disease and early death is a poor diet. Many of the most common diseases he says can occur from a lack of needed nutrition, minerals, and vitamins in the diet. Diets are never the only factor in the development of disease, however, it does contribute to the breaking down of the body’s systems and a weak immune system.
Dr. Colbert can recommend diets to help target certain health issues or to help lose weight, He believes a healthy diet is a big contributor to healthy living, and the right combination of foods can prevent the probability of chronic illnesses.
Stress Reduction And Emotional Therapy
Physical ailments can cause serious issues, but so can emotional traumas. They can create imbalances in the body/mind system which Dr. Colbert claims delays the healing process and lower your ability to cope with stress. Psychokinesiology is a series of muscle testing techniques that helps understand the root causes of emotional issues. Once combined with techniques such as Qigong, neural therapy, eye movements, color therapy, and acupuncture the results can happen fast. This can be especially helpful with fears or negative thought patterns that are being harbored unknowingly.
Detoxification
There are many environmental pollutants we come into contact with every day and they get stored in our bodies and fat tissue. Detoxification helps to remove these accumulations that can lead to health issues. There are different phases of detoxes that Dr. Colbert recommends to do to reduce unwanted side effects and to allow the body to heal from each release.
These phases include:
- Mercury Detoxification
- Natural Rejuvenation and Detoxification Therapies
- Good Sleep
- Chelation Therapy
- Nutritional Supplementation
- Massage Therapy
Structural Adjustment
In order for the body to self-regulate the immune system must be functioning properly. Getting a structural adjustment boosts the immune system. They also provide pain relief by treating it at the root of the cause. There is also usually a suggestion of how to build up muscles in the surrounding area of the pain source to help reduce the pain level.
After an accident or injury, the range of motion can be severely affected. This is achieved by managing the pain and helping the muscle structure release tension and rebuild strength. The correct adjustments and muscle building can even reduce or eliminate the need for painkillers which can be hard on the liver and can have side effects.
The Bottom Line
Dr. Colbert is both a traditionally trained medical doctor and a holistic practitioner. He really takes the whole body system into consideration when approaching a healing or preventative treatment. By listening to the body as a whole and treating from various approaches, he believes he can help create optimum health and healing.
