Join Dr. Jay and Brad as they interview their guest, Dr. Josiah Fitzsimmons.

Dr. Josiah Fitzsimmons is originally from Ames, IA. He played college football at South Dakota State and graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and a master's degree in Nutrition, Exercise and Food Sciences in a five year span. He then attended the fountainhead, Palmer College of Chiropractic.

After completing his residency out in Denver, he came back to West Des Moines to open Vero Health Center, a state of the art, neurologically based health center. Dr. Josiah has extensive training and experience in pregnancy, pediatrics, athletics, and overall wellness promotion. He has seen results with chiropractic for infertility, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, migraines, sinusitis, arthritis, acute pain, and much more. He has also had the opportunity to watch many children benefit from chiropractic care with health issues like autism, ADHD, colic, bed wetting, and ear infections. Dr. Josiah is a member of the International Chiropractic Association, the West Des Moines Chamber of Commerce, the Urbandale Chamber of Commerce, the West Side Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Des Moines Partnership, the Young Professionals Connection and genYP.

He also founded one of the fastest-growing chiropractic clinics in the history of the profession. Just four months out of school, he had already secured over 400 prepaid appointments before they even opened, and in the first year, they generated more than $1.2 million in revenue.

By year four, their revenue had skyrocketed to over $5.5 million, all within just 1800 square feet. Through this journey, he discovered that building a thriving business comes down to two key principles: understanding the numbers and taking decisive action.

Dr. Josiah's passion is to educate and support the families of West Des Moines and the greater Des Moines area through neurologically based chiropractic care so that babies, children, and adults may live a life of greater health. In his spare time, Dr. Josiah loves to spend time with his wife and son, read books and workout.
