In this Practitioner Spotlight episode, we sit down with Dr. Darla Booth, a seasoned chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner based in Los Gatos, California. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Booth has transitioned her practice to focus on complex functional medicine cases, with a special emphasis on autoimmunity. Join us as Dr. Booth shares how discovering autoimmune markers in her own and her daughter’s bloodwork inspired a deep dive into strategies for managing and calming autoimmune conditions. We explore the evolution of her clinical approach, the challenges of educating and supporting patients, and the power of group care and community in fostering healing.

Dr. Darla Booth, DC, AFMC specializes in helping patients with complex health issues identify their root cause, improve symptoms, and stack habits to optimize their health with functional medicine protocols. Her care complements the support patients receive through Western medicine; taking a big picture approach to health through lab work analysis, lifestyle adjustments, and nutritional support. Chiropractic and other conservative, natural care options for adults and children are Dr. Booth's specialties. She is skilled in nutritional counseling for food allergies, cranial therapy, TMJ treatment, and more.
