Dylan Kahn
Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine Student – Florida

“My name is Dylan Kahn, and I am currently heading into my sixth trimester of the Doctor of Chiropractic program at the Florida campus of NUHS. I have a B.S. in Exercise Physiology, with a minor in chemistry from Florida State University. When I am not in school, I love to adventure with my fiancé, Sarah, powerlift, and play the piano. I hope that this blog will be helpful to all those that read it in understanding my journey as a chiropractic student, and what life is like for all of us on this path.”

Matthew Beyer
Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine Student – Illinois

“My name is Matt Beyer, and I am currently a tenth trimester DC student intern at NUHS. As a 2nd generation chiropractic student, I have a strong passion and understanding for the crucial role alternative (chiropractic and naturopathic) medicine plays in today’s health care landscape. I plan to earn a post-doctorate neurology diplomate and functional medicine certification after I graduate. I am also very interested in how natural, lifestyle interventions (exercise, sleep/wake hygiene, mindfulness, nutrition and herbal supplements) can play a role in managing chronic conditions. Therefore, I spend a lot of time reading research or taking seminars in these areas. I’m looking forward to discussing many of these topics, as well as my experiences as an NUHS student in future blog posts!”

Carly Fleming
Master of Science in Oriental Medicine student

“Hello! My name is Carly Fleming. I am a 4th-trimester student of the Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Doctoral Program at National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Illinois. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. In my free time, I enjoy being outside, reading thrillers,  crocheting/knitting, and anything that involves my dog, Piper. I am beyond excited to be providing this online community with education on the great things that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can do for our health and well-being, as well as highlighting some of my own interests within the field. I’m so happy you are here!”

“Greetings! I am a student of natural medicine because I enjoy the beauty reflected in the human body and spirit. I believe the best medicine is the gift of grace that, once received, heals the posture of the heart. To relax, I like talking with my husband, reading books, and swimming in the ocean when available. Please feel free to reach out! “
