Misty Williams
Misty Williams spent years struggling to reclaim her health and vitality after surgery to remove
an ovarian cyst, life-threatening complications and an endometriosis diagnosis sent her into a
brain fog and fatigue tailspin. Her doctor told her that the only remedies for her issues were
drugs and surgeries, that her labs were “normal” and she could “google” to learn more about
what was happening to her body.
At 35, she began the fight for her quality of life, enduring many challenges on her road to
healing, including unexplained, 45-lb weight gain, debilitating brain fog, fatigue, hypothyroidism
and premature ovarian failure.

Justin Marchegiani, DC
Dr. Justin studied at the University of Massachusetts while at the same time starting off his
health career working in a surgical center as he prepared for his medical school training.
Working in the surgical field gave Justin a first-hand, up-close perspective into the healthcare
system. He was able to see where it shined especially in the area of treating acute injuries and
trauma and also saw its shortcomings, which were most evident in the areas of chronic disease
like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity which currently plague our society today.
This experience shifted Justin's focus from a traditional medical approach to a more functional or
natural medical approach to healing, where the underlying cause of the patient's health issues are
actually addressed and not just medicated and surgically removed.
Dr. Justin Marchegiani is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst with a B.S.
degree in Kinesiology and Pre-medical studies. Dr. Justin has completed his Doctorate degree in
Chiropractic Medicine from Life West University. Dr. Justin has completed postgraduate study
in the area of clinical nutrition, exercise, and functional medicine so he can offer the most
cutting-edge techniques to help address his patient's growing health care needs.
Dr. Justin works with a wide variety of patients all the way from athletes trying to increase
performance and heal from injuries to the everyday person with chronic health problems. Using a
holistic approach, addressing core underlying barriers to healing along with sensible lifestyle and
nutritional changes nearly everyone can benefit from his care.
