About the Guest

Mark Sherwood, Naturopathic Doctor (ND), and Michele L. Neil-Sherwood, Doctor of Osteopathy (DO), have a full-time wellness-based medical practice in Tulsa, OK called the Functional Medical Institute where they adopt a whole-person approach, which is outcome-based looking at each individual’s unique needs. Their goal is to lead people down a pathway of true healing. To that end, there are two purposes: 1. To eradicate all self-imposed, choice-driven disease conditions, and 2. To eliminate the usage of unnecessary medications. Through their unique clinic, various diagnostic tests are used, including genetics, bio-impedance, neurotransmitter, vascular aging, and stress management. The couple hosts a weekly television program airing regionally in the Midwest US. They serve patients in nearly every state in the US and in several countries around the world.
