A Message from our Co-Creators
We, Drs. Serif and Amanda Krkic, created Zēl Lifestyle Collective with a shared vision of transforming health and wellness in our community. Observing the confusion and difficulty in finding reliable health resources, we realized there was a profound need for a space dedicated to personalized, integrative care.
In our community, many people struggle with conflicting information about what constitutes a healthy lifestyle. The noise of knowing what to do and what’s best can be overwhelming and confusing. We wanted to cut through that noise and provide clear, individualized guidance. Our goal is to help each person understand that what they might accept as normal doesn't have to be their reality. There are options to heal, improve health, and achieve a fulfilling life.
As partners in both business and life, we have invested deeply in our health, our community, and our family. We understand the fine balance required to maintain these commitments, and we aim to share this balance with those we serve. When we established Zēl Lifestyle Collective, we did so with the intention of addressing the miscommunication and misguidance prevalent in our community’s healthcare.
A part of our mission is to show our community that it is possible to live a life of health and fulfillment amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We are not just proponents of a healthy lifestyle; we are living examples. Through clear transparency and dedication, we practice what we preach.
Zēl Lifestyle Collective is more than a clinic—it is a sanctuary for those seeking to break free from what holds them back and discover the true potential of their health. We are here to guide, support, and empower each individual on their journey to holistic well-being.
Join us at Zēl Lifestyle Collective, where your health journey becomes a path to greater vitality and a more fulfilling life.

We empower individuals to pursue greater vitality and fulfillment by deeply connecting with each person, addressing the root causes of health challenges, and supporting them throughout their journey to optimal well-being.
Our vision is to create a future where everyone in our community has access to comprehensive, personalized care that empowers them to live vibrant, fulfilling lives. We aim to expand into a larger space, offering a broader range of services and building a state-of-the-art wellness center that serves as a beacon of health, education, and support for individuals seeking to break free from limitations and achieve their best health.

Angela
Nurse Practitioner
Hi there! I’m Angela, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years in nursing and a true passion for helping people feel their best from the inside out. I specialize in functional medicine, hormone optimization therapy, GLP-1s, and peptide therapy, blending modern science with a holistic, root-cause approach to support your long-term health and vitality. If you’re looking for a provider who truly listens, treats you like family, and believes in whole-body wellness. I’d be honored to be part of your journey to feeling your best.
My clinical background includes everything from orthopedics and hospice to dialysis and geriatric care, but my heart truly found its home in functional medicine. I have a deep love for hormone health and its powerful role in restoring balance, energy, mood, and overall quality of life. Whether it’s bioidentical hormone replacement, peptide therapy, or nutrition-based support, I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.
Outside of work, I’m a proud wife and mom of two amazing kids who keep me grounded, inspired, and always laughing. We love being outside, chasing sunsets, and finding the little joys in everyday life. You’ll usually find me with a coffee in hand, enjoying a quiet moment on the patio or planning our next adventure.
