Dr. Paul Ralston began his natural health and wellness journey began back in high school as a member of the Olympic weightlifting team. He was constantly searching for natural ways to maintain the extremely demanding physical training involved in the sport through nutrition and proper recovery methods.

After high school, he enlisted in the Army National Guard and attended undergrad at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, majoring in community health and exercise science. Following his undergrad studies, he enrolled in chiropractic college at Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, where he graduated with a degree in human biology and doctor of chiropractic degree in 2003.

In October of 2003, he moved to Wisconsin and opened his first chiropractic practice in Muskego. Paul spent the next seven years becoming involved in the community and developing a successful practice. In 2010, he moved a few miles down the road to Hales Corners and joined a group practice, Healthwise Chiropractic. Paul spent the next five years developing his skills as a doctor and exploring new techniques and treatment modalities. It was during this time that he became increasingly involved in the paleo community and began studying functional medicine.
