Chris Turnpaugh is a skilled practitioner whose primary focus is on finding and addressing the root cause of disease. He graduated from Life College of Chiropractic and received his post-doctorate in functional neurology.  His interest in functional medicine began with the intent on helping a current patient who was looking to address his whole health picture after an ALS diagnosis.  Dr. Turnpaugh attended a seminar in 1995 given by Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the father of functional medicine, and that began his career in root cause medicine.  His passion for functional medicine led him to open the Turnpaugh Health and Wellness Center in 1999.  He enjoys the overall care team approach and loves sharing knowledge with the team, patients and other providers.  He has extensive experience in supporting patients who are dealing with the most difficult, chronic, autoimmune and neurological health conditions.   He has a vast history of personal experience and consequently supporting Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, Fragile X Syndrome and pediatric neurological conditions, thyroid disease, hormonal conditions and more.

More about me…

  • I am married with four children.  I love exploring life with my family
  • I am a huge college football fan.  Especially Notre Dame football.
  • I love to scuba dive.  There is a whole other world underseas and I love doing this with my friends and family.  It is calm and I can turn off the outside sounds of the world.
  • Hiking is one of my favorite pastimes.  We hiked the Grand Tetons a few summers ago.  It was a highlight of my life and one of the most strenuous physical activities I’ve ever done.
  • I love working together with patients to help them achieve their optimal health and teaching them better ways to address overall health.
