Shannon Ford
Shannon is a certified functional medicine practitioner, integrative health practitioner, and life coach in private practice at Ravenswood Chiropractic in Chicago. Shannon is known for her engaging and compassionate drive to help her patients achieve dynamic equilibrium in mind, body, and spirit, no matter their starting point.
Shannon brings a wealth of perspective and experience across all areas of holistic healthcare to bring a comprehensive and insightful approach to patient care. If you have a complex health condition and haven’t received the answers you need or have been told by doctors that “everything is fine,” but you still don’t feel quite right, then you may want to consider including functional medicine in your approach. Shannon is the functional medicine expert you can count on to help you reach your goals.
Along with Shannon’s vast clinical expertise, she also brings with her an incredibly relatable patient perspective. At 30, Shannon experienced a health scare that led to a decade-long search through the western medical system for relief. Although she had excellent care, she was only offered a lifetime of medications with intolerable side effects. Fortunately, Shannon discovered an integrative health provider that would change her outlook and help resolve her chronic symptoms by diagnosing the underlying root cause of her symptoms and improving her health with natural and holistic remedies.
Shannon was deeply inspired by the tremendous transformation she experienced through the functional medicine approach. Today, Shannon is a passionate patient advocate, finding what works for her patients to end the confusion and anguish and help them learn to optimize their wellness through functional medicine and sustainable lifestyle modifications.
Shannon enjoys laughing while learning to play the ukulele, volunteering with Chicago not-for-profit organizations, scuba diving, skiing, and enjoying unhurried time with family & friends.
