Dr Walden is a board-certified Chiropractic physician. He graduated magna cum lauda from Life University in Marietta GA. He completed his Medical Laboratory Science undergraduate work at Weber State University. He has hundreds of hours of post-doctoral training in Applied Kinesiology, Functional Medicine, and Neuroscience. He is currently pursuing advanced diplomat certification in those fields. Dr Walden's first career was working in a National Reference Lab in Trace and Toxic Elements as well as Research and Development of inductively coupled mass spectrometry testing. His role was not only to develop and validate testing, but also to provide consultation to doctors on how to read/interpret data and results to treat patients. This foundational work has given Dr Walden an in-depth background to read, interpret, and apply diagnostic testing at a very high level.

Dr Walden then decided to change careers and work with patients for himself. He attended chiropractic school and graduated an entire year early. His first work assignment was at the Utah Spine and Brain Clinic where he started gaining clinical experience for his pursuit of post-doctoral neuroscience and functional medicine studies. He worked with traumatic brain injury cases, developmental disorders, degenerative disorders, and many different chronic diseases.

Following this Dr Walden had the opportunity to fulfill a longtime dream of living and working in Alaska. He found himself on a small island in Southeast Alaska with an underserved population. He ran a broad scope of general practices. He dealt with everything from aches and sprains, to POTS, to ADD, to infertility, and many others. He worked extensively with doctors and other health care workers to bring sufficient care to that island. Over Dr Walden's history in practice complex chronic disease cases have become more prevalent in his office. He comes from a family where chronic inflammatory and degenerative diseases have been the demise of nearly all his progenitors. He has decided to embrace the challenge of helping people with neurologic, inflammatory, chronic, autoimmune, and degenerative disorders. Dr Walden personally fights the battle of chronic disease from a young age. When he was a young child his colon telescoped up inside himself and burst open. After 9 hours of emergency surgery, he had a significant portion of his digestive tract and organs removed or severely damaged. Dr Walden has had to live a life that requires focus and effort to wort off major disease processes from setting in. It is a deep passion for him to help others see that the human body is the pinnacle of creation and has the potential for great change and healing is the effort and proper steps are taken. From Yoga and Pilates to cross-training and Olympic lifting, Dr Walden has been trained in and practiced almost every major modality of exercise and incorporates that experience into treating his patients.

He loves the outdoors, hunting, and anything that gets him outside.

Jill grew up just south of Denver in Centennial, CO alongside her two brothers and loving parents. From a young age, she had a natural inclination for seeking life on a separate path from "the norm", always exploring alternative options in her education, style, and health.

Stephanie is a believer in the powerful healing ability of the body when mind, body, and spirit are in balance. Becoming a wife and mother of two taught her how empowering it could be to learn new, more natural ways of staying well. Once she was introduced to more integrative therapies, she sought out higher education to expand her knowledge in ways she felt were going to benefit her family and anyone else she worked with in a more powerful way.

She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Front Range Community College with an A.A.S. in Integrative Health Professionals in May of 2019. She also received a certificate in Aromatherapy and training in Reiki and High Touch Jin Shin Acupressure at Front Range Community College.

Once graduated she began searching for the right place to put her new knowledge to work and fulfill what she believes to be her life purpose of empowering others in their health journeys. Her search brought her here, where she now administers the Neurofeedback and Quantitative EEG sessions. She is continuing her education in Neurofeedback through webinars from the Clear Mind Center.

As well as being a wife and mother to two children, she also loves to have animals in her life. Currently she has three horses, a cat, and three chickens on her small acreage. She also hopes to begin growing her own organic food at home so she can incorporate the new habits she is learning from her colleagues into her life.

Sausen currently holds a Master of Science in nutrition and human performance and a Bachelor of Arts in psychology. With the strong desire to gain insight into the root causes of disease, bio-individuality, and how to apply and integrate nutrition science in a clinical setting, she expanded on her formal education by completing a certification program in functional nutrition. Through her experience as former educator in early childhood and social services, she learned the importance of health and how it can impact our well-being, growth, and development. As one of the members of the Illinois School Nutrition Association, she is committed to establishing a foundation for a healthier lifestyle in our youth.

The application of functional nutrition helps gap the bridge between conventional and alternative treatment. Rather than in isolation, it works in tandem with health outcomes and medical support. Food is the fundamental component to optimal health and can be the largest contributor to adverse outcomes. Sausen utilizes a systems-based approach and considers the interrelations of every organ system with the strong belief that “everything is connected, everything matters.” With a holistic health prospective, she works to identify various factors and underlying issues that uniquely impacts people differently. The ideal dietary strategy will consider the individual and their specific health concerns. The goal is to empower and educate patients about their behavior and lifestyle to help combat chronic illness and improve quality of life. The personalization of therapeutic dietary plans helps restore nutritional sufficiency with an emphasis on sustainability. With the strong consideration that nutrition and energy requirements change over the lifespan, there are many other factors to consider. The health of our digestive system and gut microbiome has a regulatory role in host health by impacting all organ systems in the body. This includes immunomodulation, neurological function, hormone regulation and more. Sausen believes her role is to support the patient in various ways that will allow the body to heal itself. 

With the implementation of behavioral modification techniques and education, patients will learn to establish new routines and habits that will help them achieve optimal health outcomes. With a focus on the body as a whole ecosystem, Sausen is fully dedicated to help each patient transform their energy, vitality, and overall well-being.

She loves helping patients using her training in the Galyardt Method of Functional Medicine

Penny’s health journey began 10 years ago as she searched for answers to her own health issues. Like many of you out there she ran into brick wall after brick wall with doctors telling her they did not know what was wrong. Desperate for answers, she turned to alternative methods and found F8 Well Centers where she began care as a patient. This is where Dr. Galyardt and her Metabolic Coordinator helped her address the root cause of her health problems and she reclaimed her health.
