Within three months, he experienced alarming symptoms such as hair loss, pale skin, and dark circles under his eyes.Finding relief through natural healthcare practices—such as …applied kinesiology, chiropractic care, detoxification protocols, and nutritional therapy—he was inspired to change his career path. He studied nutrition extensively and earned a degree as a Nutritional Technician. His journey in natural healing continued as he worked as a nutritional and fitness consultant for four years.Though he was accepted into Naturopathic Medical School, restrictions in California at the time required another path. After researching all of the different healing professions and what they had to offer, he and his wife, Dr. Lisa decided that becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) was the most well-rounded healing art for their path in California.In 1987, Dr. Gary graduated with honors from Palmer West College of Chiropractic, specializing in Applied Kinesiology due to its holistic perspective and impressive results.
