He concentrates his consulting practice on helping people with chronic health problems achieve the most optimal health possible by seeking unique interventions specific to the individual and joining them and their healthcare team in a partnership. Most of Dr. Shook’s clients have tried various approaches with varying degrees of success. Before seeing Dr. Shook, many of his clients reported not knowing what to do next to help themselves, and many were overwhelmed with information and had no clear direction.
Unfortunately, medical physicians today are strapped for time and unbelievably stressed due to the crushing demand for healthcare in the United States. The demand for care and many other compounding factors have resulted in many doctors practicing medicine in a way they never envisioned or wanted. Medicine in the U.S. is the best in the world at crisis care and many other problems but is working to adapt to the explosion in chronic health conditions like Hashimoto’s, Diabetes, Neurodegenerative conditions, autoimmunity, heart disease, and cancer. The problem is that many chronic health conditions require individualized dietary and lifestyle strategies combined with nutritional support to help people improve their health. This is where we seek to help bridge the gap.
In 2005, Dr. Shook began learning as much as possible about autoimmunity and how to help himself with psoriasis (an autoimmune condition) and irritable bowel syndrome. What he discovered was that he had diseases that medicine didn’t have very many answers, so he set out to learn why he was having these problems. Dr. Shook began his training in functional medicine, learning from some of the most respected researchers and clinicians who focused on identifying and addressing the root cause of autoimmune disease.
Dr. Shook continued his training through The Institute for Functional Medicine, Functional Medicine University, the Kharrazian Institute, Cyrex Practitioner Training, and spent hundreds of hours in other continuing education seminars. Because he has been fortunate to have the mentors, teachers and personal support in his life, Dr. Shook has been able to help himself, family members, and many clients suffering from autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
Dr. Shook has been working with clients since 2006. He received his Bachelor’s degree from Appalachian State University and his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Sherman College.
Dr. Shook is selective in the clients that he accepts for care. He only takes on clients that he feels have a good chance of success with the type of care that he offers. An application process is required to see if prospective clients are good candidates for care. Dr. Shook consults with patients around the world and is available by phone or video conferencing.
