Why Trust Allen Daugherty
Allen has been healthcare for over 50 years. He enjoyed taking care of
patients who had illnesses and injuries, helping them get back to being well.
He was so excited when he discovered Functional medicine. To him, not only was it getting to the root of the patient’s problems but it also emphasized wellness promotion to prevent chronic illnesses.
“When I found saw all the conditions that are either developed or worsened by imbalances in the Gut microbiome, I knew this was a good place to start helping people. Few people realize that these imbalances can cause Alzheimer’s, eczema flare ups, fatigue, mental fog, autoimmune conditions, and many other illnesses.”
