What training and credentials does Dr. Pete Sulack have in holistic medicine?
Executive summary
Dr. Pete Sulack is presented in multiple public profiles as a chiropractor with over two decades of clinical experience who founded Redeem Health (formerly Exodus Chiropractic) and leads functional/holistic programs; several bios name a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern Health Sciences University (noted on Redeem Health and related profiles) and list roles such as medical consultant at Progressive Medical Center and founder of supplement and functional medicine programs [1] [2] [3]. Available sources emphasize chiropractic training and long clinical practice as his primary formal credential; they do not provide, in the material supplied, detailed board certifications or standardized postgraduate credentials in “holistic medicine” beyond practice-focused programs and business affiliations [1] [3] [2].
1. Formal training: chiropractic doctorate and a named school
Public biographies for Dr. Sulack state he is a Doctor of Chiropractic and a graduate of Northwestern Health Sciences University, which is explicitly mentioned on the Redeem Health “About” page and echoed in podcast and clinic profiles [1] [4] [2]. Those pages position the D.C. degree as his core formal health-professional credential [1].
2. Clinical experience: long practice, large clinic footprint
Multiple profiles highlight extensive hands‑on experience—over 20 years serving patients, leadership of one of the “largest chiropractic wellness clinics in North America,” and claims of more than one million patient visits—presented as evidence of clinical seniority rather than as formal certification in integrative specialties [5] [6] [3]. Those metrics are self‑reported in the cited bios [6] [5].
3. Holistic/functional medicine activity: programs and companies, not academic degrees
Sources describe Dr. Sulack as founder of functional/holistic initiatives: a virtual functional medicine program called “Be Resilient,” a supplement company Redeem Essentials, and clinics offering “functional, metabolic, and holistic protocols” informed by faith and his own practice [3] [7]. These descriptions show program development and product lines rather than named, accredited degrees in “holistic medicine” [3] [7].
4. Roles and titles that imply expertise but are not equivalent to standardized board credentials
Profiles list roles such as “medical consultant at Progressive Medical Center” and “America’s Leading Stress Expert” in speaker bios, signaling recognized professional stature and a media/speaking profile; however, those titles are organizational or promotional and do not substitute for recognized specialty board certifications in integrative or functional medicine in the material provided [2] [5].
5. What the sources do not say: gaps on formal holistic/functional certifications
Available sources do not list formal board certifications, fellowships, or accredited postgraduate degrees specifically in “holistic medicine,” “functional medicine,” or integrative medicine (such as IFM certification or university-based integrative medicine fellowships). The supplied pages emphasize his D.C. degree, clinic leadership, program creation, and patient volume but do not enumerate standardized certifications in holistic medicine [1] [3] [2].
6. How he frames his approach: faith-driven and practice‑based protocols
Dr. Sulack’s materials consistently frame his methods as faith-driven and rooted in practical “functional, metabolic, and holistic protocols” he developed for patients and himself following a major personal health crisis; this underlines a patient-practice origin for his approach rather than an academic credentialing pathway documented in the supplied sources [3] [8].
7. Two viewpoints in the sources: practitioner authority vs. absence of listed specialty credentials
On one hand, sources portray Dr. Sulack as an experienced practitioner, clinic founder, program creator, and public speaker with a D.C. degree and substantial patient volume [5] [6] [1]. On the other hand, the same materials do not present formal, recognized certifications in “holistic” or “functional” medicine—leaving open a distinction between practice-based expertise and accredited specialty certification [1] [3].
8. What to check next if you need verification
If you require confirmation of specific certifications or board memberships (for example, IFM‑certified practitioner status, state board records, or postgraduate fellowships), those details are not in the current sources and should be sought from credential databases, the issuing organizations, or direct disclosure pages such as verified licensure lookups or the institutions that grant integrative medicine certificates (available sources do not mention those verifications) [1] [2].
Limitations: this summary uses only the provided pages and cites them directly; it does not include information outside those sources and flags where documents supplied do not mention particular credentials [1] [3] [2].
