Dr. Jaban's commitment to restoring health through a holistic approach originated in his early years when his mother's health declined for three years without a clear diagnosis. Her eventual diagnosis of diabetes occurred after a car accident led to an emergency room visit where doctors recognized a potential oversight over the years. By then, she had gained 100 lbs, struggled with uncontrolled cholesterol, stomach ulcers, depression, high blood pressure, and chronic fatigue. Dr. Jaban witnessed her condition worsening over time, with medications addressing symptoms but not providing lasting relief. This journey ultimately led to thyroid cancer and two surgeries. Motivated by this experience, Dr. Jaban dedicated himself to uncovering the root causes of health conditions to halt progression and prevent others from enduring similar stories. In chiropractic school, Dr. Jaban faced his health challenges at the age of 25, experiencing a rapid physical decline with no apparent cause. Over the next year, he sought answers from various doctors, grappling with fatigue, joint pain, and low testosterone. At a functional medicine conference, he encountered a doctor who suggested Lyme disease as a possible cause. Testing confirmed Dr. Jaban's positive diagnosis, marking the beginning of his journey to learn about and treat Lyme disease. After consulting with multiple doctors and trying various treatments, he found relief and has remained symptom-free for over 10 years. Dr. Jaban's extensive professional and postdoctoral training spans True Cellular Healing, Chiropractic Plus Kinesiology, Applied Kinesiology, Clinical Kinesiology, Acupuncture, Bio-Resonance Therapy, Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), Nutrition, Rehabilitation, Functional Medicine, and Blood Laboratory Analysis. His continuous education includes courses on Mastering Functional Blood Chemistry, Mastering Thyroid, Mastering Brain Chemistry, and training with experts in Lyme disease and parasitology.
