Biography

Hi I’m Dr. Dean Collins. I know what’s it’s like to be in pain, to have anxiety, to feel overwhelmed, tired, weak, moody, and to lack focus. I know what’s it’s like to lay awake at night worrying about the past, present, and future, and to go through a day feeling exhausted, unproductive, and putting on a fake smile just to get through the day. When I was a teenager I struggled with low back pain. Conventional medicine failed to provide solutions for me. My Mom and Dad decided to take me to their “witch doctor”. After experiencing what I considered miraculous results from seeing a chiropractor, I became interested in the chiropractic profession and natural healthcare, enrolled in chiropractic college in 1991, and received my Doctor of Chiropractic from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 1995. My health problems didn’t end with back pain as a teenager. For all of my life I have struggled with many symptoms related to blood sugar problems: mood and energy fluctuations, anxiety, focus and concentration difficulties, and sleep problems. When I was 43, a new friend and colleague of mine, recommended I start looking into how our ancestors of over 10,000 years ago ate and lived. I was intrigued and tweaked my diet and lifestyle to match these hunters and gatherers. Within one week most of the symptoms related to my blood sugar problems I had experienced for almost 40 years went away. Like my first chiropractic experience, this was a miracle for me. This experience inspired me to study functional medicine from an ancestral perspective. In 2016, I completed my studies at the Kresser Institute for Functional and Evolutionary Medicine and I have learned how to integrate functional medicine into my chiropractic practice. My fulfillment in my work comes from seeing amazing results with my patients and to see patients take control of their health and transform themselves into stronger, energetic, and more focussed people. I have an immense passion to master my chiropractic technique, to study ancestral nutrition and lifestyle habits and to use my knowledge and skills to help patients like you overcome their health challenges.
