Meet Our Team
Dr. Jordan Axe
Founder, Functional Medicine Practitioner
Dr. Axe received his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Life University which has equipped and empowered him to pursue his life mission to improve patients quality of life. As a child, Dr. Axe constantly suffered with ear infections, sinus infections, low energy, and chronic skin conditions.He found out on a first hand basis that being sick drastically lowers your quality of life!
At this early point in his life, Dr. Axe knew very little about the different treatment options available for his conditions; however, like most Americans, he thought the only means of treatment was the traditional medical system. Following the “standard of care,” Dr. Axe was sent to medical specialist after medical specialist with no true answers to his issues. At the age of 14, he started taking antibiotics for his sinus infections and additional medication for his severe acne. Several months after beginning this regimen, Dr. Axe’s body grew accustomed to those medications, and he was forced to begin taking even stronger meds. Dr. Axe was then diagnosed with eczema and a hypothyroid condition known as Hashimotos Thyroiditis.
The path he was taking of more doctors’ visits and more medications was only making him sicker. Dr. Axe knew he had to figure out another course of action. Through several years of research and drastic lifestyle changes, Dr. Axe is proud to announce that today he is the healthiest he has ever been! He is free of all of his skin conditions, Hashimotos, chronic fatigue, and frequent digestive problems.
It was his own life experience and finally getting to the root of his issues that led Dr. Axe down the path of becoming a functional medicine practitioner. With the memories of the many years of frustration and agony due to his own conditions, Dr. Axe is driven on a daily basis to restore hope to his patients and help them get to the root cause of their issues!

Alli
Matthews
Functional Medicine Health Coach
Read Heather's Bio
With 8 years of experience as a health coach, I can honestly say I love what I get to do. It is such a privilege to walk alongside people as they navigate their health journeys—and I never take that responsibility lightly.
My passion for health coaching was shaped by my own health journey. I know what it feels like to struggle with your health, search for answers, and wonder why your body seems to have gotten the memo about everything except what you actually need. That experience has given me a deeper understanding of how personal health can be and fuels my passion for helping others make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.
I believe your health journey should be about more than a number on a scale, following the latest wellness trend, or trying to survive on foods you don’t actually enjoy. It’s about understanding your body, building sustainable habits, and creating a lifestyle that supports the life you actually want to live.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll usually find me hiking with my golden retriever, reading a good book, singing, staying active with my church, or—let’s be honest—trying out a new coffee shop with friends. I firmly believe there is always room for one more coffee shop.
I’m incredibly grateful to do work that I love, and even more grateful to be a small part of the journeys of the people I get to coach. My hope is that every person I work with feels supported, empowered, and reminded that their health doesn’t have to be complicated or perfect to make a difference.
Because ultimately, this is about helping you feel better, live better, and enjoy your life along the way.
