Dr. Dan Cooper found his own path to health and healing through some of what he calls his “foundational experiences” or “dust-off experiences.” He now lives life in accordance with natural systems, which he believes is the truest path to idealized health. As a full-time faculty member at National University of Health Sciences, an avid researcher, an ocean rescue lifeguard, competitive athlete, and combat infantryman, he became obsessed with finding ways to maximize mental and physical performance for the sake of his own health and the safety of others. His life mission can be explained as: “Optimizing Genes Through Natural Means.” He resides in St. Petersburg, Florida with his wife and new baby, and two stellar pups and also maintains a part-time concierge chiropractic and functional medicine practice.
