Dr. Shay walked his own health journey from being chronically unwell from age 6-18, including severe fatigue, anxiety, digestive problems, chronic pain, severe insomnia, and poor nutrition. He dedicated his life to natural medicine to get himself and others well, which led him to functional medicine and functional testing.

He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Parker College of Chiropractic in 2008, then maintained a Diplomate in the American Chiropractic Neurology Board for approximately a decade before switching to full-time functional medicine as a certified practitioner for the Institute for Functional Medicine and the Kalish Institute for Functional Medicine.

Dr. Shay is a creator of The 10 Pillar Method, a 21st-century evolution from the Triangle of Health. The 10 Pillar Method properly assesses the most important and most commonly missed components of health and wellness. Too many well-meaning people chase the latest 'hack' or 'trick' or 'supplement' or 'gadget' yet never fully grasp the 30,000-foot view using the lens of the "10 Pillars of Health".
