Functional Nutrition ( FN), sometimes referred to as Functional Medicine (FM), is a system of healthcare that is based upon the premise that our bodies are designed to be healthy. The cells of our body are bombarded daily by a myriad of environmental factors and to that extent, disease is an adaptive state, often taking years to develop before symptoms appear.
Chronic health problems can be treated by either focusing on the symptoms, or by looking deeper to seek out, understand, and address the origins and causes of declining health. Traditional medicine focuses on the symptoms of disease and analyzes these symptoms to arrive at either a diagnosis of a disease or in some cases classification of the symptoms into a syndrome.

Do you have a diet that is not organic or do you eat lots of processed, packaged, or fast foods? Have you suffered any major emotional losses recently or in the past that have not been fully addressed? Has your doctor told you "everything looks normal", but you are not satisfied because you still don't feel well?
Dr. Mashner and Syble Mashner are licensed to provide Pastoral Science and Medicine services by the Pastoral Medical Association. Our approach to healing is to establish a partnership and relationship that is based upon trust and personal responsibility. Through communication and coaching, improved health and wellness are achievable through specific action steps - action steps for us as practitioners, and action steps for you, the patient.
It is very important that you return your health questionnaire prior to first appointment. This allows Dr. Mashner to review this material and to be prepared to adequately review and discuss your health story. We ask you not to wear perfumes to the office, as some of our patients are very sensitive to chemical aromas.
Why do we here at The Gut Authority believe gut health is so important? Our community is experiencing a crisis of chronic, often debilitating diseases that originate in the gut. Let's face it, we are experiencing a prescription epidemic! Did you ever consider if your condition or symptoms were being caused by a lack of over-the-counter drugs such as aspirin or antacids?

Although l live in Michigan, no trip to the Mobile area is complete without a visit to the Daphne Chiropractic Center. Dr. Mashner is very thorough and gets to the root cause of my subluxation(s). l always leave his office feeling better than when l entered. Over the past five decades, l have been treated by over twenty different chiropractors in seven states. Several of those doctors are excellent, but Dr. Mashner is, by far, the best!!! l would give him ten stars out of five. THANK YOU, DR. MASHNER!

I was referred to Dr. Mashner after having been to several other chiropractors with moderate success.
That all changed with my first appointment. Dr. Mashner is skilled and thorough; the results were immediate. After my physical complaints improved dramatically, I chose to have a nutrition response testing. I had
suffered for years with digestive issues, including weight loss and pain.
Dr. Mashner diagnosed parasites and had me do a 4 month parasite cleanse plus take some supplements specific to my body's needs.
Within a few weeks there was great improvement. I began to digest food, which meant

Dr. Mashner is helping me to navigate through breast cancer treatment and he is doing a great job! He is helping me to support my organs and keep my immune system up so my body can do the work it needs to do… to allow the cancer to pass from my body. He has taken time to explain the test results from the oncologists and he makes me feel like I am going to be fully healthy again soon. Thank God for Dr. Mashner!
