Dan Kalish, DC, IFMCP is founder of The Kalish Institute for Functional Medicine. He has trained over 2,000 practitioners on building successful Telemedicine and Functional Medicine practices.

Dr. Kalish published a research study on The Kalish Method with Larry Bergstrom, Founder and Director of the Integrative Medicine Department, Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, AZ, and Sue Cutshall, Division of General Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, NY. The study, entitled “Evaluation of a Functional Medicine Approach to Treating Fatigue, Stress, and Digestive Issues in Women” analyzed the impact of treatments and protocols conducted by Dr. Kalish. He is the author of three books, “The Five Pillars to Building a Successful Practice,” “The Kalish Method: Healing the Body Mapping the Mind," and "Your Guide to Healthy Hormones," and he is frequently requested as a speaker for integrative medicine conferences across the United States.
