DR. KEITH MARSHALL

Dr. Keith Marshall began his education at the University of Pittsburgh where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. After graduation, he was accepted to the prestigious Palmer University of Chiropractic Medicine where he completed an intensive 4 year curriculum to become a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine. As a Chiropractic Physician, Dr. Marshall began his clinical practice and was overwhelmed by the number of patients who also wanted help with non-chiropractic health issues including, thyroid, fatigue, weight management, digestive disorders, hormone imbalances, etc. Dr. Marshall was trained at the absolute best Chiropractic college in the world, but they only provided him with 2 courses in clinical nutrition/herbal medicine. So he began a 8 year quest to further his education in Human Nutrition, Clinical Nutrition and Functional Medicine. Dr. Marshall has obtained a Diplomate in Clinical Nutrition (which consists of 300 classroom hours and a 3- part board examination by the American Clinical Board of Nutrition. This board is the only National Board that certifies Physicians of all specialties with Diplomate status and consists of a 3 year program of study. There are ONLY 8 Physicians (Chiropractic and Allopathic) in the State of Pennsylvania with this degree. Dr. Marshall also received a Masters of Science degree from The University of Bridgeport in Human Nutrition. He graduated at the top of his class with Summa Cum Laude recognition. He is the ONLY Physician (both Chiropractic and Allopathic) in the State of Pennsylvania to hove both a Masters Degree in Human Nutrition and a Diplomate Degree in Clinician Nutrition. Upon completing the previous 2 degrees he also obtained a Diplomate Certification in Integrative Medicine, by the American Academy of Integrative Medicine. Integrative Medicine is a field of Medicine that recognizes that a patient can benefit from both Allopathic Medicine and Functional Medicine at the same time and that this “best of both worlds” can help the patient restore their health more effectively. Utilizing medical laboratory testing allows a “more in-depth “ look at the human body and effective treatment can be rendered to “correct” the problem not just manage it. Lifestyle management, Dietary Modification, Detoxification, Nutritional Therapeutics,as well as Natural and Herbal Medicines are all effective in this Integrative model. Dr. Marshall then began his journey into Functional Medicine. Functional Medicine is all about finding out the cause of the patients condition and using the Integrative approach to determine what is happening with both the BioChemisty and Physiology inside the body. Dr. Marshall completed a 2 year program consisting of 208 Classroom Hours of instruction in Functional Diagnostic Medicine by the countries top Functional Medicine Physicians. After the coursework was finished, Dr. Marshall was eligible to sit for the 2 part certification examination. Completing the coursework and the exams, Dr. Marshall was now certified by Southern California University of Health Sciences in Functional Medicine. He is currently a Certified Functional Medicine Physician, the ONLY doctor in Pennsylvania with Diplomate status in Clinical Nutrition, a Masters of Science Degree in Human Nutrition and a Certified Practitioner in Functional Diagnostic Medicine. Dr. Marshall currently runs a private practice called Functional Medicine Associates and his own line of Professional Formulated Nutritional products under the brand name Vitamin Doctor.
