After obtaining his B.S. in Biology from University of Minnesota Duluth, Dr. Jaron first set out to become a pharmacist. While prepping for pharmacy school he spent time working at a pharmacy that filled the second most prescriptions in the US. It didn’t take long to realize that there is something wrong with the current healthcare system. Dosages of drugs kept increasing and conditions became worse and more prevalent. Luckily, at this same time in life, Dr. Jaron was reintroduced to chiropractic. The philosophy of putting the body and mind in the right environment to heal itself or prevent injury made so much more sense than to target a symptom with a drug. For this reason, he declined pharmacy school offers to pursue a doctorate program that focuses on true health optimization.
During chiropractic school, Dr. Jaron compiled over 500 post-doctoral hours attending various functional medicine programs and learning from the most brilliant minds in musculoskeletal dysfunction/pain, sleep, nutrition, blood and brain chemistry, anti-aging strategies, gut imbalances, methylation, and genetics. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2019 and is currently completing a Masters in Exercise Science. Soon, he intends to get certified through the Institute of Functional Medicine. When he is not educating himself on current trends in healthy dietary and lifestyle habits, he enjoys hunting, football, traveling, and being with friends and family. Dr Jaron is thrilled to serve the Edina community, with the agenda of getting people as healthy as possible, in the least amount of time as possible, following our only rule of ‘first do no harm.’
