Dr. Southerland

Discover Wellness was a dream of mine for many years. It started in 1985 when my mom got diagnosed with cancer (she was only 45 years old). I watched her go through all the conventional methods like radiation, chemotherapy, drugs, and endless doctor visits. All of that to succumb to her cancer in 6 weeks. This put me on the path to learn and find a better way for people to stay healthy and not have to go through the pain and suffering my mother and our family went through. After obtaining my doctorate in chiropractic in 1995, Discover Wellness was born in Pearland, Texas in 1996. To better serve my community and patients I continued by education with post graduate studies in immunology, endocrinology and functional wellness. I spent 19 years helping my community live a more healthy lifestyle before I sold Discover Wellness to another functional wellness practitioner in 2015 to pursue by love of educating practioners in the benefits of Functional Wellness. I am the owner of a consulting company that travels all over the country teaching hundreds of business owners how to help their patients using Functional wellness. I moved to Colorado Springs with my wife in March 2021 and decided that Colorado Springs was an ideal place to start another Discover Wellness and help the people of Colorado Springs to be as healthy as possible. In my spare time I am an avid outdoorsman and love being close to nature, love to read and put a high priority on learning everyday about how to help people live life to the fullest. In 2025 we expanded the business in order to help more people and we are now virtual - which means we can see anybody from anywhere!
