We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Austyn Yarbrough and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Austyn, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process before starting this business was to change the game in the health space. Throughout the years I have struggled with a rare neurological and autoimmune disorder that left me helpless and lost. I was going to numerous specialists that could not give me answers. After spending thousands of dollars lost, I knew I wanted to study holistic medicine. After working a year in a corporate setting I learned a lot. I also learned a lot about what I did not want to do in practice. wanted to be able to create my own treatment plans, and find the patient’s root cause with their health struggles. Starting this business I wanted to create a space where patients feel like they get time, understand what treatments will be done and why, and create an individualized plan of action to create optimal healing.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am a holistic physician that has an in person and online functional medicine and chiropractic practice. I specialize in detoxification, weight loss, and inflammation. I believe that nutrition and supplementation is vital to reach optimal health.

Whether one needs basic diet adjustments to decrease inflammation, or more in-depth work, I am here to help patient’s reach their goals in their health and healing journey. Some things that I focus on are: supplementation based on blood panels and hormone panels, comprehensive nutritional analysis based on detailed history and surveys, detoxification to treat internal disorders, and detailed work out plans. I strive to educate the public on the effects of synthetics on health.

I was a USA competitive gymnast that was always into health and wellness. My nutrition journey really started when I was in a bad gymnastics accident and was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition. Throughout college I ran into another scare of an auto-immune disorder. This affected my gut and caused extra inflammation in my body. Nutrition and supplementation changed my life. I continue to use holistic medicine when possible to help heal my body and others.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
A weekend with me:

First I would take them on a beautiful hike that looks over the water. I would get a yummy healthy meal somewhere with fresh wild caught fish or grass fed beef. Grab a good refreshing mocktail with lunch. I would go camping somewhere in southern or central California- I love to camp! Hang out with my puppy, visit different look out spots, go in the ocean, visit history and art museums, and maybe find some local music 🙂

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to thank my doctorate school, Southern California Univeristy of Health Sciences, the many mentors I have had- the list is long! I would also like to thank my parents for hanging in there and supporting me every step of the way, my teacher Dr. Lee Daffin from the Sunshine Coast Univeristy of in Queensland, Au., Dr. Fu that was a teacher of mine at the University of Mississippi, and all of my great teachers along the way! I also would like to thank my boyfriend, sisters and brother, best friend Hannah, and the rest of my friends and family.
