Brain and Body Functional Health

Most people with chronic symptoms have been told everything looks normal. We look deeper.

WE SPECIALIZE IN:

Type 2 Diabetes

Most people with Type 2 diabetes are told they will be managing it for life. We disagree. When the metabolic drivers are addressed at the root, many patients see dramatic improvements in blood sugar, energy, and overall health.

Chronic Inflammation

You feel exhausted, foggy, and in pain — but your labs come back normal. Chronic cellular inflammation is one of the most overlooked root causes of chronic symptoms, and one of the most treatable when it is properly identified.

Neuropathy

The burning. The tingling. The numbness. If you have been told to just manage it with medication, there is a different conversation to be had. Neuropathy is almost always a metabolic problem, and metabolic problems have root causes.

About the Practitioners

Dr. Evan Riggleman DC and Dr. Erica Riggleman DC MS are the founders of Brain and Body Functional Health, a functional health practice focused on helping people uncover and correct the underlying causes of chronic health problems.

Through years of clinical experience and ongoing study of the latest research in functional and integrative medicine, they have found that many chronic health problems are driven by inflammation at the cellular level. Caused by food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, and toxicities that slowly break the body down and are often missed in traditional healthcare.

They have worked with thousands of patients struggling with issues like stubborn weight gain, fatigue, digestive problems, inflammation, blood sugar imbalances, and other chronic symptoms. Many of these individuals were told their labs looked normal, yet they still did not feel healthy.

Their approach is rooted in science and centered on education. Rather than simply managing symptoms, they work to identify the root cause or underlying mechanism that traditional western medicine struggles to define and address. When patients understand what is actually driving their symptoms, real and lasting change becomes possible.

At Brain and Body Functional Health, the mission is clear: address the root cause to create sustainable health, healing, and happiness.

At Brain and Body Functional Health, we do one thing well. We find what is actually causing your chronic symptoms and we address it at the root. Not with symptom management. Not with a prescription for each problem. With a comprehensive, personalized protocol built around what your testing reveals.
