About Dr. Stephanie Canestraro

BIOSTACKING 3.0 PRACTITIONER

Dr. Stephanie Canestraro’s (DC, IFMCP, FMUCP) journey into Functional Medicine was sparked by her own health battles in 2010. While completing chiropractic college, she was confronted with mysterious symptoms that doctors tentatively labelled as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), alongside a diagnosis of Celiac disease, and was essentially given a “watch-and-wait” diagnosis. 

Her symptoms persisted, leading Dr. Stephanie to take her health into her own hands and began delving into Functional Medicine, embarking on a journey of dietary changes and parasite cleansing, which eventually alleviated her symptoms.

Starting her chiropractic career, Dr. Stephanie gained valuable insights from her own pain, honing her skills in manual treatment. As she worked with athletes and celebrities, she shared her story and aspirations to uncover the root causes of symptoms and eventually merged Functional Medicine into her practice, along with manual chiropractic techniques and lymphatic work. 

Driven by her own experiences, Dr. Stephanie was compelled to establish The Vagus Clinic, recognizing the crucial connection between gut health and neurological well-being. Despite setbacks, including a resurgence of Lyme disease in 2021, she remains dedicated to helping others overcome similar health challenges through biohacking, toxin elimination, and advanced testing.

Dr. Stephanie's journey has been marked by resilience and discovery, and she continues to empower patients with her expertise and firsthand understanding of overcoming health obstacles.
