Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicole Doran.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?

My journey began as a teenage athlete when my health was suddenly impacted by the onset of PCOS and hypothyroidism. This took a toll on my body, mind, and soul, affecting my confidence and personal identity. In seeking healing for myself, I discovered the world of integrative and regenerative medicine and knew I wanted to be part of it.
During graduate school, I enrolled in a health coach certification program where I learned about bio-individuality and numerous factors influencing our health. Fast forward to my mid-twenties; that’s when I met Dr. Joseph Purita, our medical director. Immediately drawn to his work, I knew I wanted to collaborate with him.
Today, my family and I own PUR-FORM—a comprehensive wellness center in Boca Raton, FL—where people travel from around the world for stem cell therapy and other unique treatments we offer. Additionally, I’ve recently launched The Healthspan Collective podcast. On this platform, I interview experts in our field about the latest science trends and technologies as well as entrepreneurs discussing how their health intersects with business success.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?

Ha! No. Well, I shouldn’t say definitively no because some weeks are much smoother than others, especially nowadays with my health being so much better and us having more experience under our belt. But it has been a journey of ups and downs.

One struggle we faced a couple of years ago was trying to scale our offerings too quickly without the right marketing and operational support. It resulted in me spreading myself too thin across my different roles within the company while also trying to be a key thought leader. It was a hard lesson to learn—heart-wrenching, really. We had to let go of some team members to scale back and focus on the offerings that were bringing in revenue, which broke my heart. And while I believe everything works out as it should, looking back is still tough for me. However, I learned how to make more calculated decisions and evidence-based projections so we wouldn’t repeat this mistake in the future.

In addition to specific struggles like this one, working with family members and partners isn’t for everyone—it takes work! We struggled with effective communication and collaborative problem-solving early on; there’s always room for improvement, but we’ve figured out how best to connect with each other now. Being productive together toward our shared goal is challenging but incredibly rewarding—building something together is truly special.

We’ve been impressed with PUR-FORM, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

PUR-FORM is a vibrant, comprehensive wellness center nestled in the heart of Boca Raton, FL, where we believe that health is a journey, not just a destination. At PUR-FORM, we specialize in a holistic approach to well-being, offering an array of transformative treatments including regenerative medicine, functional medicine, hormone replacement therapy, peptide therapy, and a host of anti-aging and wellness solutions designed to help you feel your best.

One of our standout offerings is EBO2, short for Extracorporeal Oxygenation and Ozonation. This innovative therapy works wonders by significantly reducing inflammation in the body, making it a game-changer for those grappling with chronic inflammatory conditions like Lyme Disease or autoimmune disorders. We take immense pride in being recognized as world leaders in EBO2; in fact, we train clinics around the globe on how to administer this life-enhancing treatment.

What truly sets PUR-FORM apart is our unwavering commitment to science and patient experience. We dive deep into the research behind each treatment we offer, ensuring that we fully understand the science before introducing it to our patients. Our esteemed medical director, Dr. Joseph Purita, frequently shares his expertise at medical conferences worldwide, teaching other physicians about our innovative protocols.

As the largest and most comprehensive wellness center in South Florida, we provide a convenient “one-stop shop” for our patients. This means you can seamlessly navigate through your personalized care plan without the hassle of visiting multiple locations throughout the week. We genuinely value each patient’s experience and strive to make every visit feel like a 5-star experience. We understand that our patients are investing their precious time and resources into their health, and we want them to feel truly cared for every step of the way.

What fills me with pride is knowing that our dedicated team helps individuals—many of whom have faced similar struggles—discover the root causes of their health issues, reverse them, and embrace a better quality of life. It’s incredibly rewarding to hear from patients who travel from all corners of the country, sharing how they’ve never experienced such thoughtful care from such a knowledgeable team. Their heartfelt notes make all the challenges of entrepreneurship worthwhile.

I’m also thrilled to announce the launch of my podcast, The Healthspan Collective. This platform will share the transformative stories of some of the patients we’ve treated at PUR-FORM while diving deep into the latest technologies, trends, and science shaping our industry. I’ll also be interviewing leading experts and entrepreneurs to explore how health intersects with success and innovation. My hope is that this podcast will inspire listeners to take charge of their own health journeys while staying informed about cutting-edge advancements in wellness.

If you’ve ever battled chronic fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, bloating, joint pain, hormonal imbalances, or other puzzling symptoms, you know how frustrating it can be. The good news? We offer many of our services remotely via telemedicine! So even if you’re not based in Florida, don’t hesitate to reach out—let’s explore how we can help you reclaim your vitality and thrive.

What was your favorite childhood memory?

I grew up in sunny Florida, where birthdays and holidays were synonymous with backyard barbeque parties hosted by my parents. These gatherings were pure joy—we kids would spend the entire day playing in the pool and running around the backyard while the smell of smoky barbecue filled the air.

Those carefree celebrations hold a special place in my heart, and as I get older, I find myself cherishing those memories even more. They weren’t just parties; they were moments of connection, laughter, and love that shaped my childhood and remind me of the simple joys of life.
