Dr. Jennifer Vannoy, D.C
Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer. My journey into health and wellness didn’t start in a classroom, it started in my own body
As a teenager, I began experiencing debilitating stomach pain after being put on birth control. The pain was unpredictable—gone when I stopped the medication, back with a vengeance when I resumed it. This cycle dragged on for years, sending me to the ER multiple times, only to be dismissed as a drug seeker.
While I was in physician assistant school, things escalated. I developed excruciating pain in my right shoulder, and during an EMT course I learned about organ referral patterns. I realized I might be having a gallbladder attack. I was right. An ultrasound revealed multiple gallstones and severe pancreatitis. Surgery saved my life, but not my health. The stomach pain never went away.
After seeing specialist after specialist, I finally got a colonoscopy that confirmed ulcerative colitis. When I questioned the safety of the medication they wanted me to take (one with side effects that included death) I was met with fear tactics. I was told that if I didn’t take it, I would lose my colon. That moment was a breaking point. As a single widowed mom with three children, I couldn’t accept that as my only future.
I left physician assistant school and pursued chiropractic.
What I’ve come to know is this: our bodies are not broken. They are intelligently designed. They don’t make mistakes—everything they do is to protect us. Conventional medicine often chases symptoms and applies Band-Aids, but I wanted to get to the root and give my body what it needed to do what it does best—heal.
I made the hardest and best decision of my life: I left physician assistant school and pursued chiropractic. Through years of research, advanced training, and trial and error, I uncovered how much birth control, poor hydration, inadequate sleep, and years of stress had been contributing to my illness. By addressing these root causes, I was able to turn my health around. The body truly has an incredible capacity to recover when it has the right support.
I began practicing functional medicine as an associate chiropractor, but I quickly saw the same problems I had lived through myself—patients dismissed, gaslit, and left without answers. Beyond that, there was no clear, step-by-step plan. I was restricted in what I was allowed to do and prescribe, which meant only about 10% of patients ever saw real results. The other 90% were often written off, with blame shifted onto them—told they weren’t trying hard enough or weren’t following instructions—when in reality, they had never been given the tools, accountability, or education they needed to succeed.
It broke my heart to watch women invest their time, money, and hope into care that wasn’t designed to truly help them.
They were handed a handful of supplements, a vague diet, and a pat on the back, but no real framework. There was no system, no tracking, no way to measure progress or pivot when something wasn’t working. The lack of accountability left patients discouraged and practitioners detached.
That was the moment I knew I couldn’t stay. Patients weren’t failing the system—the system was failing them. I wanted to build a practice where every woman would be seen, heard, and guided through a structured process that actually worked. A practice where we wouldn’t chase symptoms or hide behind excuses, but instead would walk alongside patients with clarity, education, and partnership.
That conviction is what pushed me to create Simplify Health: a practice where women receive both the truth and the tools they need to reclaim their health, and where victory isn’t the exception—it’s the expectation.
Along the way, I’ve been blessed with opportunities and recognition.
I graduated valedictorian, became a published research author, and was honored for academic excellence. I’m an avid learner who has completed hundreds of additional hours in pediatric training, years of doula work, and specialized training in pregnancy. I am currently working toward SOT® pediatric certification as part of my ongoing commitment to serve families.
Outside of my practice, I’m a proud mother of six amazing children and married to the most incredible husband in the world. In my free time, you’ll usually find me listening to podcasts or books, studying something new, or simply enjoying time with my family.
My mission is simple: to ensure women never feel dismissed or hopeless the way I once did. I’m here to guide them with truth, clarity, and compassion so they can step fully into the health and freedom they were designed for.
