She believes that an active lifestyle is a vital key to the “body” portion of the mind-body-spirit connection and that emotional mastery is a vital component to the “mind-spirit” portion.

Dr. Shyler Neveaux, AP, DOM
She is certified in Acupuncture Injection Therapy, Cold Laser Therapy, and Functional Medicine utilizing Blood Chemistries, Saliva, Stool, Urine, and Food Intolerance Testing.
Dr. Neveaux’s mottos are “Do no harm AND health is not the absence of disease.” She believes that Traditional Chinese Medicine coupled with Functional Medicine is the foundation for living a healthy life and true health care.
Functional Medicine addresses the cause of disease with lab work similar to conventional medicine but includes more markers to identify the root cause of disease. Once the diagnosis is determined, holistic therapies are prescribed to bring health and harmony to the body without side effects.
Dr. Neveaux joined Root Healing Wellness because of the focus on Functional Medicine and reputation working with cancer support, eye disorders, auto-immunity, diabetes, neuropathy, and other chronic conditions.
