Featured Speakers & Presentations

The Personalized Reset: Why Detoxification Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
Dr. Emily Wheeler, Functional Medicine Practitioner, Speaker, Educator & Host of Rise Above Podcast
Dr. Emily Wheeler is a functional medicine practitioner, speaker, educator, and host of the Rise Above podcast. She believes women deserve real answers about their health—not just prescriptions and reassurance that "everything looks normal." She specializes in helping women navigate chronic illness through functional medicine, personalized detoxification, and root-cause care, empowering them with the knowledge to make informed choices about their health. With nearly 20 years of clinical experience (practicing previously as Dr. Emily Hecker), Dr. Emily uses comprehensive history, advanced functional laboratory testing, genetics, and personalized care to uncover the patterns behind symptoms that conventional medicine often overlooks. Before entering healthcare, Dr. Emily worked as a meteorologist and storm chaser, collecting atmospheric data for federal weather research programs, including the National Severe Storms Laboratory. That background continues to shape how she practices today—gathering data, recognizing patterns, and connecting the dots to understand why symptoms develop in the first place. Dr. Emily earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan University and holds degrees from the University of Oklahoma and Keller Graduate School of Management. She has completed advanced training in genetics, epigenetics, and methylation through the Seeking Health Educational Institute. Through her clinical practice, speaking, podcast, and educational resources, her mission is to help women understand their bodies, restore their vibrance, and rise above the gaps in healthcare.
