Dr. Randy Tabita, Wellness Director

I was born in beautiful Latrobe, PA and grew up a pretty active child. I played ice hockey and baseball starting at age 5, had my share of injuries and suffered from frequent headaches early on. The medication I was taking did not prevent my headaches from returning. My parents took me to a chiropractor to see if he could help. After an evaluation, he discovered that my neck was not aligned properly and adjusted it. I did not have a headache for a week after that. After a few more treatments, my headaches resolved completely. It was life changing for me!

My parents were in the healthcare field, so I have always had an interest in the human body and how it worked. In 2001, I moved to Atlanta, Georgia and attended Life University where I studied Biology. In 2003, I was accepted into their chiropractic program and graduated in 2007. While in chiropractic school, I specialized in posture, biomechanics and rehabilitation of the spine. I was president of the Chiropractic Biophysics Club where I taught fellow students the science of how different forces affect the structure and function of the body. In 2007, I worked for a sports chiropractor where we treated athletes and families of all ages.

Ashley

Ashley Duppstadt, Functional Health Coach

Ashley’s mission is to help individuals unearth the root causes of their health imbalances, with a particular focus on addressing autoimmunity. Partnering with Live Well, she offers consultation services, personalized nutritional planning, and enlightening skin and face mapping workshops, available in-person and virtually to those near and far.

Read more about Ashley »

With 16 years of experience as a skin health expert, Ashley transitioned to functional health after facing her own health challenges. What began as seemingly random skin issues soon escalated into complex health struggles, including insomnia, digestive problems, muscle spasms, brain fog, and uncontrollable anxiety. These challenges left her bedridden, relying on her mother-in-law for support.

Desperate for answers, Ashley consulted with multiple doctors and a battery of tests yielded “normal” results, a stark contrast to her daily reality. Her breakthrough came from a functional health practitioner who uncovered high toxicity levels and compromised drainage pathways. Armed with a diagnosis of mold toxicity, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and chronic Lyme disease, Ashley began a rigorous detoxification journey, experiencing substantial improvements step by step.
