Who Am I?

Hi, I'm Dr. Ian McIntosh — a chiropractor and functional medicine provider focused on helping people break out of chronic symptoms and reclaim their vitality. My path to this work started when I hit a wall with my own health. Functional medicine gave me answers. Now, I help others do the same.

I focus on working with patients exposed to water damage, struggling to lose weight, or dealing with chronic inflammation, gut issues, or hormonal chaos.

Through testing, coaching, and a clear roadmap — we restore health from the inside out.

Treatment Philospophy


You are not your lab results. You're a dynamic system of interconnected parts. I use whole-person care rooted in systems biology, environmental medicine, and lifestyle change to get sustainable results — not symptom suppression.


FAQs

  • Functional medicine looks at the body as an integrated system, not a set of isolated symptoms. Instead of masking issues with medications, we ask why a symptom is happening and work to correct the root cause — often through lab testing, nutrition, detox support, and lifestyle changes. It's highly personalized, science-based, and focused on restoring function, not just managing disease.

  • We’re a fully virtual practice, which means you can work with us from anywhere in Missouri — or beyond. Our consultations, protocols, and lab reviews are all done online, making it easy to fit care into your schedule without the need for travel.
