Valdyr (pronounced Val-deer) is a Norse-inspired word that echoes the spirit of a valiant wolf—a creature known for resilience, strength, and courage. Valdyr embodies the essence of resilience, inner strength, and profound transformation. It represents the unwavering determination to overcome challenges and the capacity to evolve into a stronger, healthier self. At Valdyr Wellness, this spirit fuels everything we do—guiding our mission to help you unlock your potential and reclaim your health from the inside out.
We combine cutting-edge functional medicine, personalized nutrition, chiropractic and science-backed strategies to help you reclaim your health and thrive. This name isn’t just symbolic—it’s a reflection of the journey we guide each client through: from surviving to thriving.
We go beyond symptom management to uncover what’s really holding your health back. We believe the body is designed to heal when given the right environment—and that symptoms are signals, not problems to suppress.
ABOUT VALDYR WELLNESS
Our Approach to
Weight Loss
The research is clear: excess body fat is a major driver of chronic disease. It's directly linked to conditions like insulin resistance, systemic inflammation, cardiovascular disease, hormonal imbalances, and even certain cancers. Fat tissue isn’t just inert—it acts as an endocrine organ that disrupts your metabolic health when present in excess.
That’s why addressing body composition is one of the most impactful ways to reverse or prevent chronic illness—not just improve appearance.
At Valdyr Wellness, our functional medicine and weight loss programs are built around the science of metabolic health—not outdated diet culture. We use a multi-faceted, personalized approach to create long-term transformation that addresses the real reasons the body holds onto weight.
Dr. Zach Taylor
My mission is simple: to help people achieve their optimal health so they can live life at their highest potential. I believe true health isn’t just about being free from pain—it’s about thriving with strength, energy, and confidence in every part of life.
My own journey into chiropractic began in high school, when I started getting chiropractic care. Not only did it help me recover from injuries, but it enhanced my performance on the football field. Those benefits followed me into the gym and continue to influence how I train and live today. Experiencing firsthand how powerful a well-functioning body can be inspired me to help others reach their highest level of health and performance.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Liberty University, where I developed a deep understanding of human movement, physiology, and performance optimization. I then went on to earn my Doctor of Chiropractic degree with honors from Palmer College of Chiropractic—the Fountainhead of Chiropractic and recognized as the gold standard in chiropractic education.
