BeYourOwnDoc

Learn, Heal, Thrive... Naturally

Welcome to BeYourOwnDoc.net — a place where the conversations we’ve had with patients for years are finally written down and shared.
This is where complex health topics are explained clearly, calmly, and without fear — the same way we’d explain them to you in the office, or to a friend who just wants to understand what’s going on in their body.

Here, you’ll find science-backed, natural approaches to support your body, calm your mind, and restore balance — along with the why behind the recommendations. Our goal is to help you make sense of your symptoms, understand what’s within your control, and feel confident sharing this information with the people you care about.

You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need to do everything perfectly. You just need clear guidance, thoughtful next steps, and the reminder that your body is capable of more than you may realize.

The Heart Behind BeYourOwnDoc

At BeYourOwnDoc, we know that managing your health can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s why our role is to help you understand your options and decide what’s right for you. We help you make sense of what’s going on and walk you through natural ways to support your health, helping you focus on practical next steps - not overwhelm.

Behind BeYourOwnDoc are Kelley and Darren Kirchner, a husband-and-wife team of natural healthcare providers with backgrounds in chiropractic, naturopathy, integrative medicine, and nutrition. For nearly two decades, we’ve worked directly with patients while teaching and practicing natural therapies in real-world settings.

We both began our careers as chiropractic internists with advanced training in diagnosis and internal disorders. Darren later expanded his training and was honored with a degree as a Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD) and a diplomate in integrative medicine.

Together, we’ve lectured for physicians, taught workshops for patients, and developed practical strategies that people can actually use in everyday life. We provide personalized, remote guidance for U.S. clients, helping you interpret lab results, prioritize lifestyle and nutritional strategies, and build skills that support long-term well-being.

Our approach is about education and empowerment — we give you the tools to take an active role in your health.
