In this episode of the Prime Health Podcast, Dr. Derek Baron interviews Dr. Chase Banks, the CEO and founder of Finish First Chiropractic + Wellness. Originally aspiring to be an anesthesiologist before pivoting away from the OR, Dr. Banks built a 17-year career acting as a professional health advocate for his patients. He discusses his transition from sports nutrition to comprehensive functional health, emphasizing the need to build customized treatment plans that match a patient’s actual schedule and budget. The conversation covers the dangers of “standard of care” liability, the critical importance of sleep hygiene, and how digging deeper into hormone metabolism can lead to life-changing fertility outcomes.
Key Takeaways:
- The Professional Health Advocate: Unlike traditional models that rush patients out the door, Dr. Banks spends significant time tracking patient history and prior lab work, ensuring no one spends money on redundant testing while building a truly customized, budget-friendly care plan.
- Nutrition Before Supplements: You cannot out-supplement a bad diet. Dr. Banks focuses heavily on food sensitivity testing and practical dietary changes—like modifying restaurant orders or using meal prep services—before ever introducing high-margin supplements.
- Escaping Standard of Care: The modern healthcare system often pushes doctors to treat every patient with the exact same protocol to avoid liability. Dr. Banks argues that this defensive approach ignores individual genetics and lifestyle, leaving patients feeling like just another number.
- Unlocking Fertility: When traditional fertility clinics hit a wall, Dr. Banks uses advanced testing (like the DUTCH test) to analyze liver metabolism and methylation insufficiencies. He shares emotional success stories of patients finally conceiving naturally after making targeted functional changes.
- Plan Your Sleep Like a Workout: Stop letting sleep be an afterthought. Dr. Banks advises creating a strict 3-hour pre-bed routine to optimize circadian rhythms, which acts as a free, highly effective method for reducing inflammation and balancing hormones.
