    The Best Route to Well: A Conversation with Dr. Jaban Moore, DC & Functional Medicine Practitioner

    The Best Route to Well: A Conversation with Dr. Jaban Moore, DC & Functional Medicine Practitioner

    Sometimes, it’s hard to believe that healing is possible. But Dr. Jaban Moore refuses to accept that. After facing his own health battles, Dr. Jaban dedicated his career to restoring health through a comprehensive and multi-therapeutic approach. Tune in now to hear how Dr. Jaban turned his own struggles into a commitment to help others.


    Dr. Jaban Moore’s passion for restoring health through a multi-therapeutic approach came from a young age when his mother was diagnosed with Diabetes after a 3-year struggle trying to figure out what was causing her health to decline. Through this experience, Dr. Moore found his mission to discover the root cause of a condition so that the progression can be stopped so the next person doesn’t have to go through a story like hers.

    During chiropractic school when his own health journey began he started to decline physically with no known cause at the age of 25. Over the next year, he searched for answers with many different doctors. He was experiencing, fatigue, joint pain, and low testosterone. After some testing and further investigation, Dr. Moore was found to be positive for Lyme. After consulting several doctors and trying many treatments, Dr. Moore found relief and has been symptom-free for over 5 years now. Dr. Moore’s professional and postdoctoral training includes True Cellular Healing, Chiropractic Plus Kinesiology, Applied Kinesiology, Clinical Kinesiology, Acupuncture, Bio-Resonance Therapy, Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), Nutrition, Rehabilitation, Functional Medicine and Blood Laboratory Analysis.He has taken courses on Mastering Functional Blood Chemistry, Mastering Thyroid, Mastering Brain Chemistry, and has trained with several Lyme disease and parasitology experts. He founded Redefining Wellness Cener in Kansas City, Missouri.

Such a GREAT podcast!

Debbie and Candice have so much knowledge and offer so much insight! They both have loving hearts and are determined to educate and support everyone struggling with Alpha-Gal!

So insightful

This podcast brings perspective and shines a light to a much needed conversation around learning to live with peace and a newfound excitement after a not so great health report. I also just finished the episode around eating plant based and it certainly has encouraged me to add more natural foods into my diet and less processed out.

Excellent podcast!

I really enjoyed listening to the podcasts on alpha gal. I was recently diagnosed in August, 2023.
You give me hope!
