Dr. David Marquis, DC DACBN

Dr. Marquis is a Functional Medicine doctor who goes beyond symptom management medicine.

How many people do you know that think they have some form of "ADD or Aspergers", or just get "Foggy in the Brain" and are forgetful of names and places or those who stumble or trip a lot. These are all subtle signs of a Brain Imbalance that affect health in ways that will totally surprise you. Patients who have unrecognized neurological symptoms due to an imbalance between their left and right brain hemispheres need help and medication isn't always the solution. Drugs treat the hemispheres equally, where as Brain Based Therapy can treat a specific area in the brain; effectively helping the patient recover from symptoms and conditions caused when the brain is imbalanced. These unique therapies when combined with proper fuel delivery (metabolism) allow patients to succeed in overcoming their blocks to optimal health. After a complete evaluation which often includes full labs and physical exam along with history to determine the actual cause of complaints Dr. Marquis will implement an equally comprehensive treatment plan. He will leave no stone unturned to assist his patients in their recovery.

Understanding your body starts at the immune level. 🧬✨

Food panel testing looks at how different immunoglobulins respond to the foods you eat—helping uncover hidden sensitivities that may impact digestion, energy, skin, and inflammation.

Here’s the breakdown:�• IgE – Immediate allergic reactions (think hives, swelling, anaphylaxis).�• IgG – Delayed sensitivities that may show up hours or even days later.�• IgA – Gut-associated immune responses linked to mucosal health.�• IgM – Early-stage immune reactions, often indicating recent exposure.

When you understand which antibodies are being triggered, you can personalize your nutrition, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness from the inside out.

Test. Learn. Adjust. Thrive. 🌿

🥇On the Central Coast, pain care looks different here.

At Pathways to Health, we don’t chase symptoms — we map the nervous system, stabilize blood sugar, optimize oxygen perfusion, correct biomechanics, and calm inflammation at the root. Pain is rarely “just pain.” It’s physiology.

Advanced diagnostics. Personalized protocols. Real outcomes. No band-aids. No endless injections. No revolving door appointments.

🏆The best pain management clinic on the Central Coast isn’t the biggest name — it’s the one that gets results.

Pain is a signal. We help you decode it. 🌷

PART 2: Creating at the highest level means fueling your body with intention. ⚡️

That’s why I pair my training with Myostim + Ketones—a powerful combo designed to support lean muscle development, sustained energy, and enhanced recovery. Myostim helps activate muscle-building pathways, while ketones provide clean, efficient fuel to power performance without the crash.

Build smarter. Recover stronger. Stay fueled. 💪🔥

PART 1: Creatine isn’t just for gym PRs 💥 — it’s brain fuel too.

Most people know creatine for increasing strength, power, and lean muscle by helping regenerate ATP (your cells’ energy currency). But your brain is one of the highest energy-demanding organs in your body — and it uses creatine the same way your muscles do.

✨ Benefits for muscle:�• Increased strength + power output�• Faster recovery between sets�• Improved muscle hydration + performance�• Support for lean mass

🧠 Benefits for brain:�• Supports cognitive performance under stress�• May improve mental clarity + working memory�• Helps with sleep deprivation resilience�• Supports mood + neurological energy metabolism

💧 But here’s what people forget: hydration matters.
�Creatine pulls water into muscle cells (that’s part of how it works), so adequate fluid + electrolytes are key. Under-hydrating can lead to headaches, cramping, or feeling “off.”

🩺 Kidney markers matter too.�Creatine can slightly raise serum creatinine on labs — but that doesn’t automatically mean kidney damage. Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine, so levels can look higher even when kidney function is normal. If supplementing, it’s smart to monitor labs and look at the full picture (eGFR, BUN, hydration status), especially if you have pre-existing kidney concerns.

Women especially tend to have lower natural creatine stores — meaning supplementation can make a noticeable difference in both training and mental performance.

Typical dose: 5-15g creatine monohydrate daily. No cycling needed. Muscle strength. Brain stamina. Cellular energy.

Creatine is one of the most researched, safe, and effective supplements out there — when paired with proper hydration and smart monitoring.

February is ❤️ National Heart Month ❤️
Your heart isn’t just about cholesterol numbers — it’s about metabolism, oxygen, and movement.

Want to protect it long term?

🩸 Monitor your blood sugar Even slightly elevated glucose over time damages blood vessels and increases inflammation. Stable blood sugar = less arterial stress + better energy.

🫁 Optimize oxygen perfusion Your heart’s job is delivery. Deep breathing, nasal breathing, practicing HRV breathing, good iron levels, and strong circulation ensure your tissues actually receive the oxygen they need.

🏃‍♀️ HIIT + Resistance Training Short bursts of high-intensity intervals improve VO₂ max and cardiac efficiency. Resistance training improves insulin sensitivity and metabolic flexibility. Stronger muscle = better glucose control = lower cardiovascular risk.
Your heart thrives on: ✔️ Stable glucose ✔️ Efficient oxygen delivery ✔️ Smart stress (exercise) ✔️ Recovery + sleep

Heart health isn’t passive. It’s built daily. 💪🫀

Meet Dr. Glimpse. 🩻🛫🐘
Chiropractor, Father, and Traveler

Dr. Daniel Glimpse fell in love with San Luis Obispo while attending Cal Poly, and vowed to return to the place that captured his heart. As luck would have it the opportunity presented itself, and he didn’t give it a second thought. He’s practiced here in SLO since 2012.

In his free time when he’s exploring local trails, bon-firing at the beach, training Brazilian jiu-jitsu, tossing a ball at the dog beach with his German Shepherd (Sam), or camping in some far-off place.

A love of travel and cultural exchange has taken him to many places which inspired him and his wife to host international students from all corners of the globe. They’ve hosted 9 different students for up to 2 years at a time. Eventually they decided they’d had enough practice kids, and sprouted their own child, Sawyer a 4 year old, blonde- haired ball of spit and vinegar with enough energy to light the town.

His father a tinkerer on hot rods, Dr. Glimpse grew up building and racing a jet boat with his dad and brother. Upon his father passing, the boat passed to Dr. Glimpse. He likes to continue his father’s tinkering on the boat, trying to make it go a little bit faster each year. Some times his tinkering works, and sometimes not so much. With so many fond childhood memories on it, he’s very much looking forward to creating new ones with his own son who’s nearly old enough to ride in it.

Dr. Glimpse lives on the Central Coast with his wife Meagan (a music teacher), surrounded by close friends and family. He never misses weekly family dinners with local extended family, feeling that family and relationships are closest to his heart.
