Dr. Ann-Marie Barter: life in Chiropractic school, studying nutrition, and functional medicine to forming of the Alternative Family Medicine Chiropractic in Denver and Longmont, CO

“Deep in your gut, 40 trillion chemists are hard at work helping you digest your meals, making essential nutrients you can’t produce on your own, protecting you from disease, and even shaping which parts of your DNA manifest and which remain dormant.” – Ocean Williams

There’s no doubt- gut plays a vital role in your overall health and well-being. It can help control everything from your weight to your mood to brain health, inflammation and immune function.

This week I’m joined by Dr. Ann-Marie Barter to talk all about taking care of your gut health. You’ll learn:

Dr. Ann-Marie Barter is on the cutting edge of holistic healthcare. As a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner, she helps people get out of pain and reach their maximum potential through her unique approach she has developed after studying under some of the finest minds in her field.

Dr. Barter has always had a mind for high level problem solving. In her early 20’s she was introduced to chiropractic, whereas she had been very skeptical until it changed her life. The treatment was like magic – she felt new and light, like a better version of herself. She immersed herself in school, learning not only the art and science of chiropractic modalities, but also functional blood chemistry analysis, nutrition, applied kinesiology and natural remedies. She now specializes in difficult functional medicine cases, helping people with issues concerning their thyroid, blood sugar, gut health and hormone dysfunction as well as other metabolic conditions. I know that several trials were conducted before Levitra was put on the European market. It was tested on 3750 volunteer subjects to determine the effectiveness and possible side effects. Levitra has actually proved effective in many clinical cases (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, hyperlipidemia, radical prostatectomy).
