Minnesota Nutritional Medicine Doctor

Get Your Health Back Naturally
At the Pain and Brain Healing Center, we want to help you feel better using a natural approach. Dr. Greg Fors offers telemedicine only, which means everything is done virtually. You can meet with us from the comfort of your own home. No travel, no waiting rooms—just one-on-one care focused completely on you.
Dr. Fors has been helping people improve their health with nutritional medicine for decades. He believes that one of the most powerful ways to heal your body is through the food you eat. Why? Because food is more than just calories—it’s information. What you eat sends messages to your body. It tells your gut what kinds of bacteria to grow. It tells your immune system whether to fight or calm down. And it even helps turn certain genes on or off.
What Should You Eat? That’s a Great Question.
You’ve probably heard of all kinds of diets—Vegan, Keto, Paleo, Zone, and many more. It can feel overwhelming. And to make it worse, one day the news says something is good for you, and the next day it says the opposite.
Part of the problem is that a lot of nutrition research is influenced by big food companies. Even government food rules can be shaped by those same companies, which makes things even more confusing for people trying to eat better.
So what should you eat? A great place to start is by choosing real, whole foods—things that grow in nature. If it’s something your great-grandparents would recognize as food, it’s probably good for you. Processed foods, like snack cakes or frozen meals, are full of fake ingredients that don’t help your body heal.
A good foundation for your meals includes a plate that’s mostly colorful vegetables. These give your body lots of nutrients and fiber. Add healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil or grass-fed butter to your veggies—they help you feel full and support your brain and body. You also need some protein, about the size of your palm. That could be from meat or plant sources, depending on your preferences.
Some common foods may actually cause inflammation in your body—especially things like gluten (found in wheat) and casein (found in dairy). If you feel tired, bloated, or achy after meals, these could be part of the reason. Cutting out certain foods, even for a short time, can help you figure out what works best for your body.
We often suggest lowering sugar and grain intake too. Many people feel better on a low-carb diet, especially if they are dealing with insulin resistance. Natural sweeteners like Stevia or Monk Fruit can be great alternatives to sugar. If you like fruit, focus on berries—they’re packed with antioxidants and have less sugar than bananas or apples.
Your Care is Based on Lab Testing
Your journey with us begins with a detailed virtual consultation where we talk about your symptoms and medical history. We then recommend lab tests to understand exactly what’s going on in your body. This isn’t guesswork. We use real science to help figure out what you need.
Some of the tests we may use include blood, urine, stool, and saliva. These tests look for important clues like nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, digestive issues, food sensitivities, and how well your body processes sugar. For example, many people are low in magnesium, iron, or omega-3 fats and don’t even know it. Others may have trouble absorbing B vitamins, which are critical for energy and brain function.
We may also check your body for signs of inflammation or imbalances in your gut bacteria. If there’s something going wrong in your digestion—like small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or leaky gut—it can affect your entire body. We look for these problems using advanced stool and breath tests. And if needed, we also test for food sensitivities by measuring how your immune system reacts to certain foods.
The best part? Once we know what’s going on, we teach you how to fix it. We’ll walk you through food choices, supplements, and lifestyle changes that are personalized just for you. We listen to your preferences and make sure the plan fits your life. Because if it’s not practical, it won’t work.
