Since 1985 Dr. Palmer has studied functional medicine applications, Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) concepts and advanced clinical nutrition strategies. Dr. Palmer welcomed stubborn and complicated cases and those that traditional allopathic medicine has failed. One of his goals is to help people to reduce their dependency on medications. He does this by addressing the underlying causes of their illness or disease rather than treating their symptoms. This is accomplished by focusing on the restoration of normal healthy biochemistry and function through diet, exercise, supplementation and lifestyle modification.
Dr. Palmer's personal experience in exercise, body composition and muscular development came from years of bodybuilding, dieting and lifestyle management.
