Dr. Jennifer Culanag Balan
Hello, I am Dr. Jennifer Culanag Balan and I am excited to be part of your health journey. I grew up in Rancho Penasquitos, CA and I have been involved in community service groups and endurance sports since high school. I grew up spending my weekends giving back by doing community service and found joy across many years volunteering my time to others.
I was also a volunteer athlete and trained for half marathons, one marathon and a sprint triathlon. I currently enjoy strength training, hiking, exploring new places in CA, and spending time with my husband, dog, family and friends.
I earned my B.S. in Foods and Nutrition at San Diego State University. I was fascinated by the role nutrition plays in our body’s performance. However, I felt that what we ate was only one part of our health and that our body is designed to heal and thrive.
After graduating, I joined the Pre-Chiro club where I met prominent chiropractors in the San Diego region. The energy and hope these chiropractors brought to their office and community was something I wanted to be a part of. I graduated from Life Chiropractic College West and am thrilled to be back in San Diego to serve my community.
My goal as a chiropractor is to find the root cause of an individual’s symptoms, and help them find balance in their nervous system. This allows them to show up with more life everyday and rest up well at night. I am excited to meet you and help you reach your health goals.
