Dr. Justin Dearing
DC, DACNB, FIAMA, FAARM — Functional Neurology & Chiropractic Expert
The co-founder of The Dearing Clinic, Dr. Justin Dearing is a functional neurologist and chiropractor with 12 years of experience in observational diagnosis and treatment. After realizing that adjusting the spine as a standalone therapy was not enough to fully correct chronic problems that kept showing up in chiropractic practices, he refined evidence-based therapies and diversified his clinical strategic approach to provide the best possible experience for his patients.
“I’ve dedicated my life’s work to finding solutions for patients with difficult-to-solve health conditions and know that the foundation of health and longevity is truly simple: Regaining your health requires rebuilding and maintaining whole brain and body resilience.”
He holds a doctorate in chiropractic, a diplomate in clinical neurology, fellowships in acupuncture and restorative herbal medicine. This diversified multi-disciplinary background allows him to apply the best unique patient-focused combination of manual musculoskeletal, neurological, regenerative, and metabolic therapies. With a background in clinical Neurology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and chiropractic care, his approach is to diagnose the whole person first, thus treating individual issues more effectively and efficiently.

The Virus That Stays for Life
A dormant virus carried by nearly all adults — Epstein-Barr — may be the hidden driver behind years of unexplained fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and autoimmune conditions. Unlike the initial mono infection most people remember, reactivation in adulthood produces no obvious illness, yet quietly disrupts gut immunity, triggers the immune system to attack the body's own tissue, and derails the brain chemistry behind mood and clear thinking. Modern research has linked active EBV reactivation to multiple sclerosis, lupus, Hashimoto's, ME-CFS, and Long COVID — yet standard lab panels miss it entirely because they only confirm past exposure, not current activity. The key insight: until this upstream viral pressure is identified and addressed, most downstream treatments will continue to fall short.
The Most Important Part of Your Brain You’ve Never Heard About
Chronic fatigue and brain fog aren't just mitochondrial problems — they're a delivery problem. Learn how the brain's insula and autonomic nervous system control whether your cells actually receive the oxygen and nutrients they need, and why most treatments fail because they're applied in the wrong order.
What Happens to Your Brain When You Eat Sugar?
Your brain fog, afternoon crash, and post-meal irritability aren't random — they're your nervous system responding to blood sugar instability. This article breaks down exactly how your brain controls glucose regulation through the autonomic nervous system, what's really happening during a sugar crash, and two simple, science-backed habits (meal sequencing and post-meal walking) that can reduce blood sugar spikes by up to 40% — no restrictive dieting required. Whether you're dealing with reactive hypoglycemia, chronic fatigue, or trying to protect your long-term cognitive health, understanding the glucose-brain connection is the first step to lasting metabolic wellness.
