About

Chris Kresser, M.S., L.Ac., is a globally-renowned expert, clinician, and educator in the fields of Functional Medicine and ancestral health and the New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Cure and Unconventional Medicine. He was named one of the 100 most influential people in health and fitness by Greatist.com and has appeared as a featured guest on Dr. Oz, Time, The Atlantic, NPR, Fox & Friends, and other national media outlets. Chris recently launched Adapt Naturals, a supplement line designed to add back in what the modern world has crowded out and help people feel and perform their best.

Chris co-founded and co-directed the California Center for Functional Medicine, one of the largest Functional Medicine clinics on the west coast. Throughout his 15-year career he has helped hundreds of patients reverse chronic disease and recover their health and vitality.

In 2015, Chris founded Kresser Institute to provide the next generation of Functional Health clinicians and coaches with the skills and tools they need to turn the tide of chronic disease—and change the future of medicine. Through his ADAPT Practitioner and Health Coach Training Programs, Chris and his team have trained over 2,000 health professionals around the world in his unique approach.

During a decade-long struggle with chronic illness, Chris learned firsthand where health care mattered most—and where it came up short. After seeking the help of more than 30 healthcare practitioners and, ultimately, having to discover his own answers with limited support, Chris emerged with his health—and a vision and drive for changing and improving the practice and education of Functional Medicine.
