Ryan Hentges grew up in Venice, Florida — and has been dedicated to serving others ever since. After graduating from Venice High School in 1989, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, where eight years of service shaped the work ethic, discipline, and commitment to care that still define his practice today.

After the military, Ryan pursued nursing at the University of South Florida, earning his Bachelor of Science in Nursing before spending a decade working in critical care. He returned to USF for dual master’s degrees — Adult Nurse Practitioner and Clinical Nurse Leader — which led to a 15-year specialty in Interventional Radiology, where he performed complex, image-guided procedures and developed a level of clinical precision that few practitioners ever achieve.

Over time, Ryan found himself drawn to a more complete picture of patient health — one that looks beyond symptoms to address the underlying causes of how someone feels. That curiosity led him to pursue Functional Medicine certification and, ultimately, to found iRevive: a practice built around personalized care, comprehensive testing, and protocols that are tailored to each individual patient.

Outside the clinic, Ryan is an avid CrossFit athlete who was ranked 62nd in the world in his age group in 2023. When a back injury required surgery, he applied the same functional medicine principles to his own recovery — and the results reinforced everything he believed about what’s possible when you treat the whole person. He brings that lived experience into every patient relationship.

Whether you’re navigating hormone changes, working toward a weight loss goal, looking to enhance your athletic performance, or simply ready to feel like yourself again — Ryan and the iRevive team are here to help you get there.
