A Born Chiropractor
You could say that Dr. Palmer’s path to chiropractic and natural health began at birth. She was born with a condition that would have rendered her unable to walk. Her parents took the suggestion of some friends who recommended they first try chiropractic care instead of surgery on their baby daughter. The chiropractic treatments successfully reversed her condition and she went on to participate in gymnastics, collegiate soccer and even professional women’s football. Throughout her life, chiropractic made it possible for her to achieve athletic success and fueled her life’s ambition.
In 1992, Dr. Palmer accepted a scholarship from the University of Florida to work in its Division I football athletic training department. After receiving her bachelor’s degree from the College of Health and Human Performance, she accepted a scholarship to work with Life University’s NAIA men’s soccer team while attending chiropractic school.
Dr. Palmer completed her Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, California. She served as athletic trainer to the men’s ice hockey team. Attending chiropractic school in the Bay Area enabled her to work with surfers, mountain bikers, and other extreme sports.
The Truth About Health
A few years ago, while running a thriving chiropractic practice and planning her wedding, Dr. Palmer suddenly became very ill. She was dizzy and could not get out of bed for days. The usual blood work was performed—all normal. Herbs, vitamins and other supplements helped for a while, but they eventually stopped working.
The 5’ 4” active soccer player and personal trainer was 40 pounds overweight. As she lay in her bed, the room spinning, she prayed to God that she would uncover what was wrong and made a promise: if she regained her health, she would embark upon a crusade to teach people how to be truly healthy.
Dr. Palmer had always been a “geek” about learning new methods to help her patients, so she attended a seminar Nutrition Response TestingSM. It was there that she saw the answer to her own inexplicable illness. The mystery solved, she began to recover and take on hours of training to earn certification in the method. She uses this exact method to discover your health barriers and to tailor your individual wellness program.
