Hello

My name is Dr. Ryan Mijares DC. I am a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner with a passion for holistic care. But that's not all. I'm also a husband, father, and dog lover. I believe that we are inherently good, inherently healthy and, that it is only when we stray from our natural alignment that we begin to dysfunction.
I love to teach, I love to chat, and I love to connect with people. If you have any questions, I invite you to reach out, because I would love to talk to you.

I'm glad you're here.

My wife and I decided to move to the united states in 2018 after having lived in Medellin for years. Medellin, had amazing food. And acclimating to the "SAD" Standard American Diet (fitting acronym), was challenging to say the least, and created various problems for both my wife and I. Our bodies were simply not used to the incredible amount of toxins, inedible ingredients, processed fake additives and chemicals that are present around every corner. My wife, having lived in South America nearly her whole life, was hit the hardest. Symptoms began in her gut, but quickly spread throughout her body and challenged nearly all of her physiological processes. We went through all of the most common 'cures.' organized the diet, cut out sugar, gluten, dairy; ordered labs, stool tests, saliva tests, blood tests. We were looking for a diagnosis, but when we did not find one, we started to think of the worst.

As a chiropractor, I was extremely deflated. I have seen all types of patients over the last 10 years, with all sorts of symptoms, and they usually get better. Why is the person I love most not responding to the tried and true, diet, lifestyle, and chiropractic care? I found this beyond frustrating. The symptoms were brutal. Lorena could not keep food down, and after eating said she felt like someone was stabbing her in the stomach with a hot knife. Her hair skin and nails were thin and dry, she would get blood blisters in her eyes. She was pail and looked like all of her vitality was being pulled from her body. It was truly terrifying. She was exhausted and irritable all the time and even admitted that she had thought that it would be better to not be alive due to the amount of physical and mental pain.

I remember clearly on one of our visits to the ER, Lorena mentioned she felt like she had worms living in her stomach and asked the doctor if he had any treatments for parasites. He scoffed at her question and replied something along the lines of "we don't have any parasites in this country, we are a first world nation." The hubris was insane. but it got us thinking. Of course we have parasites. Parasites do not know borders. Our much of our food comes from questionable sources and conditions. How could we not have parasites? With that new information, we began to look into ways to detox ourselves from parasites. Little did we know, that was just the tip of the iceberg. We started to put the puzzle pieces together and realized how much toxicity we were being exposed to on a daily basis. We were chronically being exposed to mold, environmental toxins like glyphosate, and hormone disrupting chemicals, and Lorena has very high levels of mercury from breast implants she had chosen to get when she was a teenager.

The next few months we embarked on an intense gut healing, parasite and mercury detoxification protocol. It completely and utterly changed our lives. We are now not only symptom free, but our allergies, immune systems, mood and sleep have all greatly improved. Lorena's depression, panic, internal torment and almost all physical symptoms have been completely removed. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, and I now recognize and attract these types of cases. and i have made it my life's mission to help people around the world in helpless situations like the ones we were in, with detoxification and holistic healthcare.
