Hello! I'm Dr. Ballard
Chiropractor, Functional Medicine Practicioner & Holistic Health Educator
I'm so glad you're here! I have spent countless hours considering how best to make functional medicine concepts and holistic health accessible to everyone. This website is an extension of me, as a person and as doctor, in all of my passionate, quirky glory. I've prayed that if you're here, I can provide the answers you're looking for and the encouragement you need to redefine health for you and your family. Welcome! We're gonna be pals!
I know what it feels like to struggle with concerns about your health and to go in search of a solution but never seem to find it. I've heard it over and over from the people that seek my help and it drives me crazy.
I have watched countless patients (women mostly) be ignored or told that their symptoms were common.
I was frustrated along with them as they shared their experience and lack of progress with traditional interventions.
It was a merry go round with no end in sight.
No answers, no solutions, just symptoms.
I knew there was a better way
I made it my mission to create a space where patients were heard, options were explored, and lifestyles were changed. And I have seen so much success with it that I just knew I had to share it with others.
Now more than a decade into practice...
I found a way to bring what I offer 1-on-1 to people who desperately need to hear the truth. You're not broken. Your symptoms aren't fake or just in your head. You HAVE options. Let me tell you about them.
I believe that
healthcare should focus on actual health
and have spent the last 15 years helping patients just like you to achieve their health goals without using drugs or surgery.
Why I do it,
because you need to know that you have choices.
It makes me so upset when people are told they have to live with their symptoms or take a medication for the rest of their lives.
As a certified Functional Medicine practitioner and board eligible clinical nutritionist, the minute I hear someone mention an issue, pain-point or condition, I am immediately doctoring in my mind. I literally cannot turn it off! I go straight into finding solutions that haven't been explored yet.
Because I use no medications, I usually think outside the box and use diet and lifestyle changes to help people truly heal, not just manage symptoms. It's what I have done all day, every day, for a decade and a half. By really understanding the body in a holistic way, I strive to help people understand what they're dealing with in the bigger context of whole-body function, which is rare, even among functional providers.
