About Doc Sean & His Team

Sean's life started out typical of any midwestern boy with a family of four and so many dreams ahead. Health challenges did seem to start fairly early, as at about age 5 he became the poster child for his pediatrician's allergy patients. The old school allergy test was a graph of about 30 quadrants on your back, each with a potential allergen that was induced by the old "TB" style prick that would either turn very red or have little to no effect on the individual square. Unfortunately Sean was allergic to everything he was ever tested for at the Smith-Glynn Callaway Clinic. From corn and green beans, to alfalfa and Johnson grass, cows, cats, dogs etc., his body seemed to be sensitive to everything they could come up with for testing. This led to a lifetime of allergies and various meds taken to try and lessen the histamine responses his body produced.

As a teenager, new problems developed from his bike riding and sport adventures. An accident that threw him from his bike at fairly high speeds, let to a broken collar bone, and later discovered a cervical compression between C2 and C3 that would limit his range of motion and cause migraines for the next decade. To add insult to injury, about a year later he was involved in an accident being rear-ended while test driving a car with his stepfather. It seemed nothing would help other than going through large bottles of aspirin month after month and other pain killers.

In his early twenties, a generous medical doctor at his church offered to help him for free, including visits and X-rays to try and get to the bottom of the daily headaches. This was helpful, but mainly led to stronger pain meds and muscle relaxers to try and help. It wasn't until years later a chiropractor was able to identify the stuck or "welded together" C2-C3 vertebrae. Chiropractic care definitely helped some, at least for a few days after each visit.

At age 21, Sean got married and soon after started a family. He was working in the pharmaceutical equipment industry, primarily in research and development helping to insure quality and testing for these manufacturers. For over six years he stayed in this field, which created a hunger for science and better understanding of the human body and healing. During this time, the only real influence was coming from traditional or allopathic medicine. Why? This was his field as well as his wife worked in the local hospital pharmacy...his mom worked at the same hospital, so did his aunt, and his mother and father-in law who also worked at the same exact hospital! Shall we go on? :)

Shortly after Sean & Krista had their first son, an unexpected medical emergency came to the surface. With a 3 month old baby, and just midway through their second year of marriage, the "C" word was thrown at his beautiful wife. Seeing her wheeled into surgery at age 21 to have cancerous cells removed from her body, just didn't make any sense at all to Sean. This may have been the beginning of a curiosity about the way God designed the human body that went well beyond his medical understanding of health and healing. This was pivotal, and would open the door just a couple years later to the idea of natural medicine and holistic healing as a complimentary option.

As the Lord would have it, a couple from their previous church introduced them to the idea of real supplemnation backed by science. It wasn't immediate, the ingrained medical training wouldn't let go of it's grip for a couple of years, but eventually it did and things started to make a lot more sense from a health and healing standpoint. We were created with a natural defense system, our immune system and other parts of our anatomy, that if given the right tools, can heal itself in many situations of failing health. Think about it...you cut your finger and yet you don't have to sit there and chant "finger grow together finger heal." The healing just happens naturally by the pre-programmed structure within our DNA that tells the body what to do heal itself. Same thing happens with a broken bone, a sprung ankle, or you name the challenge. But for some reason we have been told that "diseases" or more specifically things regulated by our food and drug administration and the drug companies, cannot possibly correct themselves on their own. Our conviction here is that we serve a much bigger Creator than that. The ability to self-heal may very well be within our own bodies, within reason of course! That is not to say we can find the fountain of youth or live forever in perfect health, because at some point we will all be called to meet our maker. But a healthier lifestyle and adjustments we make to this journey here on earth can certainly improve our well-being in most cases!

Over the next ten years, soon to become Doc Sean, began to research and study under any doctors or researchers that he could find who could shed light on our body's innate ability to heal itself. Often asking family, friends, or even strangers to prove him wrong by adding supplements and small lifestyle changes to their daily lives, he began to be rumored as the "shad tree herbalist." Not having any formal training or college degree in the field of natural medicine, Sean had helped several thousand individuals across the United States, Australia, England, Scotland, Denmark, and South America with their health. With a thriving wellness education and supplement business, he went back to school to finish his degree in naturopathic medicine, or better labelled as achieving the degree of Naturopathic Doctor, purely for the purpose of education and to become a better resource for his growing family and clients he had developed. Please understand that most states, around 39 of them, do not even recognize such a degree that is outside traditional medicine. Respectfully so, Doc Sean has tried to equip clients with their own resources and power to take back their own health and not to rely on any particular expert to keep them healthy. That is truly his mission and calling, and has been now for almost 30 years.

Not long after receiving his ND degree, Doc Sean opened two wellness clinics with his close friend and mentor, Dr. James. He is a well achieved MD who served as an OBGYN, E.R. doctor, family physician, hormone optimization specialist, and surgeon. They remain great friends to this day, even though they both have retired from in-office clinical practice. Through their two clinics in Missouri and Kansas, they helped thousands of clients achieve better health, lower their dependency on drugs, and even achieve weight loss totalling over ten thousand pounds lost across the clinics! That same dedication remains at the top of their priorities, with this site serving as a starting point for so many individuals wanting to achieve better health.

Sean & Krista have raised 7 children, two of them still at home, and they have 8 grandchildren with two more on the way. This journey they have been on for the past 33 years together as husband and wife has had its ups and downs like any family sees. But one thing that has been remarkedly different than their surrounding family and peers, is this simple truth...After learning about natural health and implementing supplementation and lifestyle changes, they experienced a 28 year stretch without a single medical bill while raising their family, outside of chiropractic and 3 E.R. visits. And yes, if you have an accident or injury like a broken bone go straight to Urgent Care and let the medical field do what they do best...handle trauma and medical emergencies!!! This truth is not to sound boastful by any means, and is a pure act of God's Grace in their lives, but goes to show that it is possible to lead a life without helpless dependency on others in the medical field. Doc Sean often quotes a famous Amish saying he learned while teaching in their communities across the country. "Pray as if it's all up to the Lord. Then go to work as if it's all up to you!" This is true in almost every area of our lives. We need the Lord's help and direction, but He expects us to do our part and take those steps while making the changes necessary to improve our situation from day to day.

It is our hope and prayer here at Wellness Is Planned to be a part of your healing journey by providing valuable support in the from of diet, lifestyle, supplementation, and spiritual direction. We cherish and value each and every one of our clients who many times become our closest friends. If you choose to become a part of our family of empowered humans who desire to live a life to it's fullest potential health-wise, we will be grateful for your partnership every day! blessings.
