He understands what it’s like to search for optimal health. He had this idea of what it looked and felt like, and a vision of how he would offer this same reality to his patients. His entire life has been dedicated to learning, evolving and mastering the meaning of true health and wellness, and in fact, continues to apply his personal quest for peak health performance to the goals of his patients.
But it wasn’t until a sudden turn of events that he was afforded this unique perspective and set of skills that give his patients an advantage in their own healing experience. During grad school, while he was learning to be a healer, he found himself becoming a patient. With poorly managed stress, it left him suffering from debilitating anxiety, panic attacks and scary digestive issues. Seeking help, the traditional medical model had no effective or long-term solution other than a prescription for Prozac. He quickly realized that a critical message was missing from traditional healthcare. Thus, leaving himself and 1,000’s of others like him feeling frustrated, confused, and alone. 
During this time, two of Dr. Wibbenmeyer’s sisters were diagnosed with two different autoimmune diseases. Knowing the seriousness of autoimmune and the possible role of genetics, this news was devastating, but also motivating. His lifestyle was incongruent with the vision he had for his life, forcing him to change his trajectory and take his health into his own hands. Dr. Wibbenmeyer immersed himself in functional medicine, inspired to ask deeper questions in order to gain a solid understanding of the root causes of disease, realizing that these health issues just don’t happen overnight. He quickly discovered the intricate connections throughout the body, and the key to his success has been addressing the relationship between the gut, the brain, and their response to stress.
With the desire to help others end their chronic suffering, he Co-Founded, Innovative Health Partners in Missouri in 2010 where he has helped countless patients overcome their health challenges with the use of advanced lab testing, the powerful combination of food and nutrition, and the release of emotional tethers that previously limited them from accessing their body’s highest healing potential.
