Meet The Providers
Dr. Jaron Faber, DC, MS
Owner
After obtaining his B.S. in Biology from University of Minnesota Duluth, Dr. Jaron first set out to become a pharmacist. While prepping for pharmacy school he spent time working at a pharmacy that filled the second most prescriptions in the US. It didn’t take long to realize that there is something wrong with the current healthcare system. Dosages of drugs kept increasing and conditions became worse and more prevalent. Luckily, at this same time in life, Dr. Jaron was reintroduced to chiropractic. The philosophy of putting the body and mind in the right environment to heal itself or prevent injury made so much more sense than to target a symptom with a drug. For this reason, he declined pharmacy school offers to pursue a doctorate program that focuses on true health optimization.
During chiropractic school, Dr. Jaron compiled over 500 post-doctoral hours attending various functional medicine programs and learning from the most brilliant minds in musculoskeletal dysfunction/pain, sleep, nutrition, blood and brain chemistry, anti-aging strategies, gut imbalances, methylation, and genetics. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2019 and is currently completing a Masters in Exercise Science. When he is not educating himself on current trends in healthy dietary and lifestyle habits, he enjoys hunting, football, traveling, and being with friends and family. Dr Jaron is thrilled to serve the Edina community, with the agenda of getting people as healthy as possible, in the least amount of time as possible, following our only rule of ‘first do no harm.’
He graduated with his Doctor of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, MN. He received his B.S. in Kinesiology from Winona State University. Dr. Shilts is certified in nutrition and applied kinesiology, and is dedicated to furthering his education. He is actively finalizing his M.S. in Exercise Science, performing thesis research on Hyperbaric Oxygen and autonomic nervous system function, and currently pursuing a diplomate in Functional Neurology.
His unique approach to practice is promoting foundational pillars of health (sleep, autonomic functions and recovery) while simultaneously improving the patient’s mindset towards lifestyle change. Once the foundation is stable, everything else can flourish. He believes this is achieved by identifying the cellular drivers of dysfunction and disease systematically before symptoms arise.

Our Origin Story
Drs. Jaron and Jordan have always had a vision of creating an exceptional healthcare experience. In the US, the traditional perspective of “healthy” lies within the means of the annual physical and the minimal data it produces. This is unacceptable if we envision a future of a prevention-first, personalized experience that needs our own individual needs. Collectively, we need diagnostics that inform us of dysfunction before it progresses to disease, and a system that values the creation of health rather than the management of disease.
Early on in their training in chiropractic school, they understood there is so much more to optimal health than just the physical structure. This lead to an introduction into functional medicine, which utilizes lifestyle and nutritional strategies to address and improve the root-cause to disease and dysfunction.
