F8 Well Centers – Functional Medicine

Dr. Jeni was born and raised in the Midwest. She received her chiropractic degree from Parker College in Dallas, TX in 2005. After residing in the Dallas area for 13 years, her family re-located to the Branson, Missouri area. 

Dr. Jeni has been in clinical practice as a Chiropractor and Functional Medicine Physician in private practice.  She has also served in a free medical clinic in her area.   Dr. Jeni also has experience working in the field of Neurophysiology with a CNIM certification. 

After a short career in the business world, Dr. Jeni knew she wanted to become a doctor of some sort, and she spent time with doctors from different disciplines and realized that Chiropractors seemed the most interested in Health.  Other doctors seemed only to be treating symptoms.  This was before the field of “Functional Medicine” was formally recognized, but that was what she was experiencing watching the doctors help people find the root cause of their health problems. 

Working in a hospital setting was also instrumental to Dr. Jeni’s realization that the mainstream “Health Care” system is really a “Sick Care System.”  Surgeries and dangerous medications weren’t the answer.   

Dr. Jeni is trained in the Galyardt Method and feels blessed to work with such a talented team of doctors and staff dedicated to helping our patients achieve the results they deserve.  Using cutting-edge, comprehensive blood work and a very thorough evaluation process, we are able to partner with patients to take back their health.  Dr. Jeni utilizes all of her training to create programs for patients based around lifestyle changes, appropriate supplementation and proper coaching. 

In her spare time, Dr. Jeni enjoys hiking, working out, reading, being outdoors and spending quality time with her family, which includes her husband, Tim, their 3 children, a son-in-law and 1 grandson.

Hi! I’m Becca. I was born and raised in West Texas before moving to Fort Collins and finding F8 Well Centers. I married  my husband in 2019 and moved to Colorado that first year to find a new job and life. When I applied to F8, I was immediately scooped up for my experience an organizational skills. I worked at The Hearing Doctor in Lubbock. I loved working directly with my patients and helping improve their quality of life by providing top of the line technology. I have always been very detail oriented and I will always have a smile on my face to make sure my patients feel welcomed.

I came in to F8 during the start of Covid when the world was in a state of transition and so was F8. It was because of this that even though I was hired to simply answer phones and greet patients I quickly created new systems to make the office flow more efficiently and created the new role of Office Manager. After 2 years of creating these new systems and helping the Clinic expand to multiple new locations I became the head manager for all of our new Office Managers. I train all new Office Managers as well as helping the corporate team make new decisions for growth.

I enjoy traveling, being with my family and watching a beautiful West Texas sunset. I am proud to be a part of the F8 Well Centers Team!

Tara Peterson

CHC, RT(R), CT, BS

Tara Peterson is an ACE Certified Health Coach, NCCA, functional nutritionist, and behavioral change specialist, with  18 years of experience in the traditional healthcare setting.  After many years of caring for patients with chronic illness, metabolic syndrome, and complications of these illnesses, she felt called to do more than treat the symptoms, to look at healthcare as a whole-body approach. 

Tara believes that every patient has a story, a root cause for their pain and struggles.  It is with great honor and joy to be able to meet clients where they are on their journey, and walk them into the healthy lifestyle they have always dreamed of, but never thought possible. Tara believes in each of her patients' ability to attain their dreams of abundant, healthier life. 

It is through her personal health journey that she found the freedom and benefits of lifestyle as medicine.  Even as a young child Tara struggled with constant belly pain, bloating, and IBS symptoms. After not receiving solutions from conventional medicine, she researched everything to alleviate the pain. Discovering that eliminating gluten, and following a low-carb, clean eating lifestyle restored health in her own life, she began studying functional medicine.  Tara uses an evidence-based approach to assist in the healing of the whole- body, connecting physical health to mental and spiritual well-being. She enjoys creating personalized nutrition and guiding patients with lifestyle modifications. 

When not living out her calling, Tara along with her husband are busy raising their twin daughters in the quaint lake town of Branson, Missouri.  Together they enjoy exploring the outdoors, through hiking, mountain biking, and watersports. Tara enjoys trail running and is always looking for a new way to challenge herself both professionally and through personal endeavors.
