Trevor Miller, D.C., IFMCP, CFMP, L.Ac.
Clinical Consultant
Dr. Miller was driven to dig deeper into nutrition, supplementation, functional and integrative health through the lens of his two special needs daughters. They both have been diagnosed at Riley with mitochondrial disorder. When Zoe was a baby, Dr. Miller had already started working with Dr. Ryan Bentley, MD, DC, PhD (one of the founders of VirtualClinic.MD.) Together, they developed a lab-based protocol (Organic Acids Test) for the girls to treat their mitochondrial disease. This was in 1997 and Zoe was only given until age 12-13 to live. Dr. Miller and his wife were told by the neurology specialist from Riley to put her in a wheelchair as she would never run or walk and her life expectancy was so low. After Zoe started to walk and talk, Riley Hospital began to investigate what Drs. Bentley and Miller were doing for her and to this day, still use a lot of the protocol developed for Zoe.
Dr. Miller’s formal education started at Palmer University where he had two trimesters of nutrition and nutritional training. The University of Functional Medicine was next in starting to formalize his education in functional medicine. After getting the CFMP, his eyes turned to what everyone sees as the “Stanford or Harvard of Functional Medicine education…” The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). Completing the three-year program in one year with all the previous experiences. Dr. Miller is now one of only 2000 IFM-Certified doctors in the world. Dr. Miller continues to deepen his knowledge and education with ongoing education to not only serve his clients, patients, and community, but also provide consults to our Virtual Clinic clinicians and will be facilitating our educational workshops beginning soon.
