DR. STEPHANIE JONES
Chiropractor/Nutrition
Dr. Jones had her first child at 18 years old and was determined to create a great life for him. She received her doctorate from Parker University in 2008 as a single mom, and then completed over 200 hours of post-graduate training in holistic clinical nutrition. She fell in love with holistic nutrition when it became the driving force behind fixing her own severe cystic acne, digestive disorders, and hormonal imbalances, all of which were unchanged through other interventions. Using her knowledge of biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology, she tailors individualized care plans to support patients with a wide range of conditions, including weight management, exercise performance, mood disorders, energy balance, and more.
She is now married to her wonderful husband with a total of 4 children and has over a decade of experience listening and helping patients who have felt hopeless and unable to find solutions from other healthcare providers. She has helped her husband avoid kidney dialysis and overcome his myriad of health conditions, including chronic rhabdomyolysis. She believes in the importance of integrating Eastern and Western medicine to thoroughly support each patient’s own innate healing potential for long term positive changes.
11 years ago, Dr. Jones took over her sister in law’s failed infertility treatments and her niece was conceived within 3 months. In that moment Dr. Jones knew this was a key part of her God given purpose. Her passion for parenthood and desire to help couples achieve their dream of fertility is one of the most rewarding and successful aspects of her practice. With the high cost of fertility treatments being a burden or impossibility for many couples, Dr. Jones helps support normal hormonal physiology in both males and females, so they have a greater chance of conceiving naturally, in an affordable manner.
In addition to chiropractic and nutrition, she is also a college professor and has taught Anatomy & Physiology for the last 6 years to future medical providers and integrates clinical aspects into the classroom to facilitate change in the healthcare paradigm.
