His philosophy for wellness is simple; in order to optimize our health and get
the most out of our bodies and minds, we must live more closely to the way
we evolved as a species. He believes that many diseases and disorders that we
accept as “inevitable” in modern society are unnecessary complications of poor
sleeping habits, living in a toxic environment, eating foods we were not
designed to digest, and allowing stress to overwhelm us. His passion is to help
his patients and clients achieve the highest quality of life possible, and realize
their health, performance, and longevity goals.
Dr. Parsley spends as much of his spare time as possible with his three beautiful
children (Hayden, Cole, and Harper). He has been a competitive athlete his
entire life, and enjoys nearly all outdoor activities and sports.
