Dr. Zack attended Abilene Christian University and obtained a Bachelors of Science in Biology with a Chemistry minor and graduated Magna Cum Laude. From there, he attended medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch before completing an Internal Medicine Residency at Methodist Dallas Medical Center. In residency, he served as Chief Resident his final year, relishing in the opportunity to teach his fellow residents and medical students that rotated with him. Due to his deep passion for teaching, he elected to stay on with his residency program as faculty and continue his time at Dallas Methodist.

While spending the last several years working in a major urban medical system, he has seen thousands of patients suffering with the end effects of health problems that started years or even decades before. That experience created a conviction that there had to be a better way to help people walk in true wellness than what he was currently doing and was a major stimulus that led him to start pursuing a certification in functional medicine to explore what a different kind of medical practice might look like.

In the functional medicine space, he found a new frontier of medical care that actually looked at addressing the root causes of people’s health issues and focused on stopping those end-effects he had been seeing so often in the hospital. Furthermore, the functional medicine space is highly focused on educating patients on how to support their bodies, tying in that deep love for education he found during his training. The more he learns, the more he is convinced that this expression of medical practice invokes the way God intended his people to live, heal and ultimately thrive.
