Practicing Emergency Medicine for over 28 years, Dr. Farris has always had an interest in age management, nutrition and weight loss.  He has seen the impact of disease on individuals and families. Far too long, medicine has treated the symptoms of disease without getting to the root of the problem.

As an aging athlete, he recognized the need to educate himself in nutrition, supplementation and hormone restoration to achieve peak results.  Dr. Farris’ passion for age management led him to the field of Functional and Integrative Medicine. His Functional Medicine training allows him to treat the root cause of the diseases impacting so many people today. Now patients can actively participate in their own healthcare and change their lives for the better.

 

Dr. Farris’ research interests have included Cannabidiol as therapy for pain and neurologic disorders.  He is been an educator and has presented lectures at the World Anti-Aging Congress on the therapeutic benefits of Cannabidiol.  In addition, Dr. Farris serves on the Scientific Advisory Board for the Journal of Endocannabinoid Medicine.

 

Locally, Dr. Farris has been a regular contributor to Fox46 News on numerous health related matters.  In addition, he has appeared a number of times as a guest speaker on the About Your House radio show discussing healthy living.
