(His family was in Radio/TV broadcasting). He then went on to complete a Bachelors of Science in Biology and Pre-Med Studies with a minor in exercise physiology at Barry University - Miami Florida graduating Summa cum laude.
After graduating chiropractic college, he founded Millar Chiropractic Clinics in Huntsville AL in 1999. You may have seen him on WAAY TV Channel 31 over the years as he did 500 local TV shows on health and medical. Dr. Millar is honored to be elected by his chiropractic doctor peers to serve on the Board of the Alabama State Board of Chiropractic Examiners, the governing body for chiropractic in the State of Alabama. He started his 4 year term in January 2023.
About 20 Alabama Doctors of Chiropractic so far, including Dr. Millar have completed additional Board approved postgraduate training, examination, and certification by National University of Health Sciences, College of Chiropractic, thereby expanding their Alabama Scope of Practice to preform, administration and dispensing of (IV) Intravenous Therapy (IM) Intra-muscular Injections, and (Joint Injections) to small; intermediate; and large joints utilizing nutrient supplement(s), vitamins and minerals, amino acids, peptides, fatty acids, enzymes and antioxidants, botanicals and phytonutrients, food concentrates and extracts, nutraceuticals, homeopathic remedies, compounds, and compounded products. Dr Millar is the only Chiropractor in Madison County Alabama to have completed this extra postgraduate training so far. He looks forward to other Doctors of Chiropractic joining him in this pursuit.
Dr. Millar practiced for years with the neurosurgeons of UAB Dept of Neurosurgery helping develop the UAB Dept of Neurosurgery, Chiropractic Care Team. His clinic was the only chiropractic clinic in the country that had a university neurosurgery department doing rotations and seeing patients.
But it wasn't until Dr. Millar personally became very ill and he started searching traditional medicine for answers to no result that he found functional medicine. He went from Doctor to Doctor from local doctors to UAB Doctors, to Vanderbilt Doctors, with nothing except more test and more medications, that did nothing. At one point they said "it was in my head." He was eventually diagnosed with Lead and Mercury Toxicity, Chronic Fatigue, Anxiety, Brain Fog, IBS, SIBO, C-Diff and Leaky Gut. The more he searched the more frustrated he became with traditional medicine. Dr. Millar said, "They had no answers. All they wanted to do was put me on more meds that did not fix my problem. I was sick and getting worse with no help in sight. I had to quit work for nearly a year."
Dr. Millar went on to say, "one day my wife said, we're going to Mayo clinic NOW," (Mayo Clinic is the #1 Allopathic or Regular Clinic in the country.) Finally, at Mayo Clinic, after more testing and looking over all the test results from other hospitals, they referred him to Cleveland Clinic for Functional Medicine. (Cleveland Functional Medicine Clinic is the #1 Functional Medicine clinic in the country.) At Cleveland Functional Medicine Clinic, they did extensive functional medicine testing. They tested his DNA. They tested him for gut pathogens, parasites, and bacteria (good and bad), they tested him for toxins, glyphosate, mold and fungus. They tested him for food allergies and sensitivities. Dr Millar said, "Even though insurance didn't pay for test or treatment, I had to get my life back. I was through if I didn't."
Walla, it turns out one of the root causes of Dr. Millar's problems was some dental work that he had right before he became ill. A dentist removed 7 old amalgam fillings ("Guys I'm nearly 70 so those were old fillings.") and the dentist didn't have the proper equipment to control the lead and mercury. He also had cavitations from 3 of 4 wisdom teeth that were pulled years ago. He had mercury and lead heavy metal toxicity. But, he also had mold biotoxins and chemical toxins. He went through 6 months of True Cellular Detox customized to his toxins He was referred to the top functional medicine doctors all over the country. Fixing the gut took a long time but they finally killed the C-Diff and fixed the IBS and SIBO. He removed food allergies and sensitivities and really started feeling better. The panic attacks and anxiety stopped and then they reversed his autoimmune diseases. Slowly he started feeling better and better and was getting well. "It's like my life started slowly coming back, said Dr. Millar. I thought I was through. I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my medical career."
Dr. Millar then decided to go back to school and learn Functional Medicine. He attended Functional Medicine University and Kingdom College of of Natural Health. He attended Harvard Post Graduate courses. He became certified in True Cellular Detox. He is now completing post graduate training towards his IFM Certification from the Institute of Functional Medicine the highest educational authority in functional medicine. -.

He does practice regular chiropractic two days per week at Alabama Laser Spine and Millar Chiropractic - Huntsville (Downtown) located at 2021 Clinton Ave W, Suite A, Huntsville (256) 539-2000 separately owned and operated clinics from Millar Functional Medicine.

She feels that health care in America has "gone off the rails." She stated that, "Health care today is not about the patient it's about money, money, money." Doctors have lost site of the patient and spending enough time with each to really discover what is wrong and what can be done to help them. In addition to treating her patients naturally she finds that so many of them have underlying emotional issues that need to be worked through and rearranged. The sheer amount of stress that people care today is unreal. She stated that probably 80% of weight gain is emotional or stress related. Dr Sims is an certified Master Practitioner of the Emotional Freedom Technique, With EFT she is able to help patients release stress and emotion.
