Dr. Jennifer Vannoy, D.C
Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer, and my journey into health and wellness began with a deeply personal experience. In my teenage years, I started experiencing debilitating stomach pain after being put on birth control. The pain was inconsistent and confusing, vanishing whenever I went off birth control and returning with a vengeance when I resumed it. This cycle continued for years, eventually leading me to the emergency room multiple times, only to be dismissed as a drug seeker.
Things took a turn for the worse when I developed severe pain in my right shoulder while studying to become a physician assistant. In an EMT course, I learned about organ referral patterns and realized I might be having a gallbladder attack. An ultrasound confirmed multiple gallstones, and blood tests revealed severe pancreatitis, requiring immediate surgery.
Despite the surgery, my stomach pain persisted and worsened. Multiple GI specialists failed to provide answers until a colonoscopy finally diagnosed me with ulcerative colitis, an autoimmune condition. The medical solution offered was lifelong medication with severe potential side effects, including death. As a single widowed mom with three children, I couldn't accept this as the only solution.
Dissatisfied with the conventional medical approach, which seemed to focus on treating symptoms rather than root causes, I left physician assistant school to pursue a more natural path. I became a chiropractor, immersing myself in a holistic approach to health. Through this journey, I discovered that my issues stemmed largely from dietary and lifestyle factors—something no doctor had ever addressed with me. Birth control, inadequate sleep, poor hydration, and unhealthy eating habits were all contributing to my condition.
My path to health wasn't easy, but with extensive training, research, and trial and error, I healed my autoimmune condition and realized the body's incredible capacity for healing when given the right support. This led me practice functional medicine as an associate chiropractor, but after years of seeing patients struggle with no power to change the system, I saw the need for a more systematic approach.
This realization inspired me to establish my own company - Simplify Health. We follow a systematic approach to health, addressing foundational lifestyle elements such as low toxin living, hydration, nutrition, sleep, exercise, detox, stress management and gut health. By combining individualized testing with a structured framework, we help our clients achieve lasting health improvements. I believe in empowering others to take control of their health through informed, holistic practices. I’m excited to help you on your journey to wellness.

Chaya Hagler
As a Health Restoration Practitioner, I help my clients achieve their desired results through practical and sustainable lifestyle changes. Regardless of the situation or outcome, my goal is to ensure that my clients have fun, learn a lot, and come away feeling strong and empowered. I believe that health is a journey, not a destination, and I strive to make that journey as enjoyable and enlightening as possible for each person I work with.
My background in women's health is extensive. I've worked as a doula for many years, supporting women through one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. Additionally, I served as a midwife apprentice at a birth center, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience in maternal care. My training as a massage therapist further complements my holistic approach, allowing me to understand the body's needs and how to address them through both touch and guidance.
I've received training from a variety of esteemed institutions, including the Lander Institute, Bikur Cholim Hospital, Anthem Institute, Via Vita Midwifery, The VBAC Link, and The Wellness Way Academy. This diverse educational background equips me with a wide range of holistic modalities to support women in their health journeys. Whether it's through dietary advice, lifestyle changes, or emotional support, I'm prepared to offer comprehensive care tailored to each individual's needs.
My passion for holistic health and wellness stems from my own personal health journey and my experiences as a mother. Navigating my health challenges and caring for my young children inspired me to delve deeper into natural health practices. I wanted to be more qualified to apply my knowledge not just for myself and my family, but also to share my passion and experiences in a way that would benefit others. This drive led me to become a health practitioner, committed to helping others achieve their optimal health.
I grew up on a rural farm in New York, an experience that deeply ingrained in me the values of hard work, self-sufficiency, and a close connection to nature. As an adult, I spent some years homesteading with my family, which further solidified my passion for holistic living and nutrition. These experiences have profoundly shaped my approach to health and wellness, emphasizing the importance of a wholesome lifestyle grounded in nature.
In 2021, my husband, our three children, and I moved to Florida from Texas. This move marked a new chapter in our lives, filled with opportunities for growth and new adventures. I cherish the time I spend with my family, whether we're exploring the great outdoors, cooking nutritious meals together, or simply enjoying each other's company. I love hiking, camping, and reading, activities that allow me to connect with nature and continually expand my knowledge.
I aim to create a supportive and nurturing environment where clients feel comfortable and confident in their health journey. I understand that making lifestyle changes can be challenging, but I am here to provide the guidance, encouragement, and expertise needed to make those changes sustainable and effective. Together, we can work towards achieving your health goals and improving your overall well-being.
