- Dr. Jonah Yakel works with patients remotely
Functional Medicine and Chiropractic|CIRS Consultant
Dr. Jonah Yakel is a chiropractic doctor and functional medicine practitioner focused on mold-related illness, inflammation, CIRS, and autoimmune-related conditions. He joined GWCIM, bringing his personal health experience navigating himself, his family, and his clients, through the complexities of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and increased susceptibility to mold and biotoxins.
Life story and professional experience
His interest in natural health and healing began early in life. When he was 19 years old, he lost his father to kidney cancer. Inspired to support people healing from the inside out, he received his doctorate in chiropractic in 2003 from Parker University in Dallas, TX. He has been in practice for over 12 years and in 2010 he founded Lifegate Health Center in Overland Park, KS. His personal experience and health journey have led him to focus on mold-related illness working with experts in the field including Dr. Richie Shoemaker.
Dr. Yakel is a believer that the human body, as with all of life, is pure intelligence, always seeking to achieve greater states of health and wholeness. This principle informs him in his approach to healthcare. Specializing in a functional approach, he always seeked to discover the underlying source of one’s health challenges instead of treating symptoms.
In 2009, Dr. Yakel was faced with his healing crisis when he was involved in a traumatic car accident resulting in nearly thirty fractures, massive internal damage, and a month-long stay in ICU. After a year of intense recovery, he emerged with a profound faith in the body’s miraculous ability to heal and a deep knowledge and understanding of how to steward individuals through the healing process.
At GWCIM
At GWCIM (remotely) Dr. Yakel provides video consultations and coaching. Working in close collaboration with Dr Kogan, Dr. Yakel provides intense follow-up often needed to assist patients in recovering from Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and Mold Toxicity. Recovering from mold-related illness can be a complex and intensive process. This process includes removal from the toxic environment, cleansing and detoxifying the body of bio-toxins, and supporting the body’s recovery from damage caused by chronic inflammation as a result of mold exposure.
Beyond work
In his spare time, Dr. Yakel serves on the board of MaxLove, a non-profit organization founded to help children thrive with cancer and related life-threatening illnesses. Dr. Yakel actively teaches chiropractors and other healthcare practitioners about functional medicine and its role in addressing chronic inflammation and supporting optimal brain health.
