Hello, I am
Dr. Leila Doolittle
I am a Doctor of Chiropractic practicing Functional Medicine and Functional Neurology. I look upstream of your symptoms, at how your brain, nervous system, gut, immune system, and environment are communicating.
Practicing since 2016, I bring rigorous science together with a comprehensive, functional lens.
I work with adults, children, and families. Together, we build a sequenced plan through functional medicine and nutrition, lifestyle changes, and spiritual alignment, so your care fits your life and your purpose.
My Healing Philosophy
I focus on three pillars of health, body, mind, and soul, because none of our systems ever work alone. I specialize in Functional Neurology assessments, using detailed examination and tailored therapies that support mental clarity and resilience.
People come to me with a wide range of chronic health concerns, including brain fog, persistent low energy, digestive and skin issues, hormonal imbalances, anxiety, food allergies, and chemical sensitivities. Together, we look for the root causes, including toxin exposure, mycotoxins, parasites, heavy metals, and more.
I run my own private practice, and you can see me by telehealth or in person at my clinics in Dallas, Texas and Compton, Arkansas. Every health journey is unique, so your plan is designed through functional nutrition, testing, and tailored therapy tracks.
I stay close to the science, following new discoveries and longevity research, and I develop nourishing resources and detoxification protocols for the people I serve.
Time in nature and travel are among my greatest joys outside of my family and patients. You can find me exploring beautiful places and getting to know new cultures.
Thank you for being here. If you would like to explore your health and brain function, book a free Discovery Call. I look forward to connecting with you.
My Journey into Functional Medicine
I came to functional medicine through the chaos of my own health journey, searching for answers from conventional doctors and finding none. I know what that search feels like, and I bring that understanding to every person I serve.
I grew up in a home where health came first. My mother raised our family naturally, relying on supplements, vitamins, herbs, and natural remedies, and my siblings and I absorbed everything she knew.
My health began to decline when my family unknowingly moved into an old farmhouse with toxic black mold. Two years of exposure, compounded by other stressful and traumatic experiences, took a serious toll on all of us.
One blessing in those years was living off the land. Everything we ate came from an organic garden on our farm deep in the Ozark Mountains, and it gave me a lasting respect for the power of real food.
At 16, a car accident left me with a traumatic brain injury. Migraines and post concussion symptoms took over my daily life.
The turning point came while I was in school, when I met a Functional Neurologist and Chiropractor and began working part time in his practice. After three years of pain, he answered the questions no other doctor could. He listened, he understood, and he changed the direction of my life, from a pre-med path into functional medicine and neurology.
Over the next five years of studying functional wellness, I restored and reclaimed my own health. That journey was difficult, and I simply needed someone to understand what I was going through. It led me to the work I do today, sitting with people in their moments of searching and helping them find answers.
How I Live
I want everything I do, all that I eat, and every word I speak to be as natural as possible.
Every day that we wake up, we have choices to make. We need not make these choices out of fear for what could harm our health. We can make them out of love, empowerment, and confidence in ourselves.
What we choose to put on our plates, allow into our bodies, drink every day, and how we consciously think about our health can all be reshaped through Functional Wellness.
Career & Education
My path into Functional Wellness has been paved with dedication: diplomates, certifications, conferences, courses, and mentoring with highly trained specialists. I continue to invest in my education, because the science keeps evolving and the people I serve deserve that rigor.
Hendrix College
My education began at Hendrix College, where I earned a pre-medical Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with a minor in Art. I shadowed and worked with more than 20 doctors of various specialties during my pre-med years.
University of Arkansas Medical School
I became a certified EMT through the University of Arkansas Medical School and worked in emergency rooms and on ambulances, caring for patients in emergency settings during my last year of pre-med studies.
Doctors of Tomorrow
I co-founded a non-profit international organization called Doctors of Tomorrow, and I led an Odyssey project, traveling through the Amazon rainforest of Peru alone to study the natural herbal medicine traditions of five medicine men and women.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
I have attended more than 400 hours of extracurricular seminars in nutritional and dietary science, and I became certified in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine to better understand how qi plays a role in health. I then attended chiropractic school at Parker University for several more years to complete my advanced education.
Resonance Wellness
I am the CEO and founder of Resonance Wellness, Inc., a comprehensive functional medicine and wellness practice built on high quality, personalized care. As a solo practitioner, I see every patient myself.
