Dr Ryan Shepherd, who is a Doctor of Neuropathic Medicine working along-side the Family First Chiropractor Group. He is originally from Toronto Canada, has trained in the UK, China, and Canada. He has two children, ages 3 & 7 and fur babies (cat & dog). Dr. Shepherd is a trained herbalist, acupuncturist, and focuses on functional medicine (nutritional). He has pain management training too. He invented the FSN therapy (fast needle therapy) that helps to alleviate pain.
Dr. Shepherd explained that traditional medicine focuses on drugs that target alleviating the symptoms of the diseased state, not on the disease. His practice focuses on looking at the body as a web. One system affects the other. They focus on preventive care. Diet is the base of all treatments. Food has biochemical components, and believe that food can heal. Blood work reveals what is nutritionally deficient in the body as well as hormone components. They deal in real time evaluations, not generalities. Dr. Shepherd mostly treats thyroid disease, digestive disorders, acid reflux. They can even lower blood pressure by the use of pharmacy grade herbs i.e.. snakeroot.
To have a healthy body he suggested that the average person should drink lots of water daily (reverse osmosis water the best), eat meals in a calm/relaxing environment, eat the colors of the rainbow, cook from scratch, avoid excess sugars and refined carbohydrates, and avoid vegetable oils & margarine. Eat more vegetables than fruit.
