Bio

Dr. Michael Jurgelewicz has been studying wellness for the past 8 years. He has a B.S. degree in Health & Wellness, a B.S. degree in Anatomy, and is a Doctor of Chiropractic. He is also active in CE through The Institute for Functional Medicine and Functional Medicine University programs.

Dr. Jurgelewicz’s academic training and clinical experience position him as an authority in the management of a variety of chronic health conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, digestive disorders, anxiety and other common ailments. Following a period of researching his own symptoms, Dr. Jurgelewicz implemented functional diagnostic medicine into his practice and has never looked back.

He specializes in functional medicine under the paradigm of natural internal medicine for hormonal imbalances, autoimmune disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, nutritional counseling, oxidative stress, structural imbalances, chiropractic, and physiotherapy care.

Today people are dying prematurely and are not achieving optimal health due to the misinformation provided to them regarding the real cause of disease. People today are not aging prematurely because of germs, their genes, or their luck. It's simply not eating the right foods, moving enough, and their thinking.

Our office uses an innovative approach to assessing and treating your health care concerns. Perhaps you have experienced being examined by your doctor, having blood tests done, x-rays or other diagnostic tests taken, only for your doctor to report back that all your tests are normal yet both you and your doctor know that you are anything but normal. Unfortunately this experience is all too common.

Most physicians are trained to look only in specific places for the answers, using the same familiar labs or diagnostic tests. Yet, many causes of illness cannot be found in these places. The usual tests do not look for food allergies, hidden infections, environmental toxins, mold exposures, nutritional deficiencies and metabolic imbalances. New gene testing can uncover underlying genetic predispositions that can be modified through diet, lifestyle, supplements or medications.

Dr. Jurgelewicz uses a variety of innovative testing techniques and procedures to help his patients prevent illness and recover from many chronic and difficult to treat conditions. He is highly skilled in evaluating, assessing and treating chronic problems such as fibromyalgia, fatigue syndromes, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders, mood and behavior disorders, memory problems and other chronic, complex conditions. He also focuses on the prevention and treatment of heart disease, diabetes, dementia, hormonal imbalances and digestive disorders.

Each person's biochemical individuality exerts a major influence on his or her health. The level of nutrient intake that maintains the best possible health is highly variable from person to person. Lifestyle choices and environmental exposures filtered through genetic predisposition are fundamental factors in the expression of disease, and a successful treatment approach must include investigation into these factors.

    What are natural treatments for osteoporosis?

    Instead of jumping on the bandwagon like so many people do today and assume that taking calcium, Fosamax and Hormone Replacement Therapy are the ONLY things to do; your doctor may not know all the facts.

    Imagine if getting over a weight loss plateau were as simple as eliminating 1 or 2 problematic foods from your diet.

    Can probiotics contribute to a healthy gastrointestinal system?

    The Russian Pathologist, E.E. Metchnikoff said in 1900, "Death Begins in The Colon". The truth is there are over 400 species of microbes in the human intestinal tract totaling over 15 lbs! That's a mass that exceeds all other organs in the body other than skeletal muscle.

    There are more microbes
