What we help with
Conditions we get to the root of
Most of our patients arrive after years of being dismissed. These are the patterns we uncover every day.
Thyroid & Hashimoto's
Still exhausted, foggy, or gaining weight even though your labs are “normal” and you're on medication? We look at the full thyroid picture, not just TSH.
Explore → Chronic Fatigue & Brain FogWiped out no matter how much you sleep, and every doctor says you're fine? We look for the thyroid, adrenal, and gut drivers behind unexplained fatigue.
Explore → Gut Health · IBS · SIBOBloating, pain, and irregularity — or a diagnosis like IBS, SIBO, or Crohn's — that no GI plan has fixed? We test for the underlying drivers and connect them to the bigger picture.
Explore → Anxiety & SleepWired but tired, anxious without a clear cause? Anxiety and sleeplessness often trace back to the gut, thyroid, and hormones — not just your brain.
Explore → Autoimmune DiseaseWhen your immune system is attacking your own body, we look for the underlying triggers — infections, food, gut, and toxins — driving the flare.
Explore → Adrenal & Hormone HealthBurnout, crashes, stubborn weight, and mood swings often point to adrenal and hormonal imbalance that standard panels miss.

Our approach
We look deeper than a single number
Conventional care manages a lab value. We look at how your whole body is actually working — thyroid, gut, adrenals, hormones, nutrition, and inflammation — and how those systems connect.
- Comprehensive functional lab testing, not just a basic panel
- Unrushed visits — time to understand your full story
- A personalized, realistic plan built around your life
- A path that doesn't default to lifelong medication

Frequently asked questions
Do you have endocrinologists on staff?
No. Drs. John and Alexa Parker are chiropractic physicians with advanced training in functional nutrition and functional neurology. We are a functional-medicine practice that offers a root-cause second opinion for people with thyroid, hormonal, and endocrine-related conditions — a different approach than a conventional endocrinologist, focused on finding and addressing underlying drivers.
Why do I still feel terrible when my labs are “normal”?
“Normal” lab ranges are wide, and a single in-range number rarely tells the whole story. We look at the full picture — for the thyroid that can mean T3, T4, reverse T3, and antibodies, plus gut, adrenal, and nutritional markers — to understand why you don't feel like yourself.
What happens at the $79 first visit?
Your first visit includes a complete exam, a full review of your health history, a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Parker, and a personalized healing roadmap.
Do you take insurance?
We are a self-pay practice and do not bill insurance. This lets us spend 45–60 minutes with you and build a plan around your whole health. Many patients use HSA/FSA funds.

We're at 4343 West Henderson Blvd, Tampa, FL 33629, in South Tampa — convenient to Palma Ceia, Hyde Park, Davis Islands, Brandon, Riverview, and St. Petersburg.
