Brandt grew up in Amarillo, Texas as a very active kid, enjoying sports and the outdoors. While in high school, his family moved to Thomaston, Georgia, where he graduated from Upson-Lee High School. He received an Associate degree in Pre-Architecture and a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design. While working in his field over the next few years he had several health challenges of his own. These challenges led him to search for and eventually find an excellent nutritionist here in Georgia who was able to help him understand his issues and correct them. This nutritionist also happened to be a chiropractor.

Brandt was inspired to go to chiropractic school with a focus on nutrition and physiology. He attended Parker University in Dallas, Texas, where he received his Doctorate of Chiropractic. He also received Bachelor’s degrees in Anatomy and Health and Wellness. While at Parker University he worked in the research department studying the effects of chronic pain in cancer patients. He also served as an intern at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His research and patient care is focused primarily on the nervous system and how diet and nutrition affect the body in accordance with the principles of functional medicine.

Dr. Adams is very familiar with the supplement industry, both the good and the bad, and has formulated many supplements of his own. He has worked as a health coach and weight loss consultant. He has also worked with many athletes to improve functional movement. He is an educator at heart and seeks to further the message of natural health and wellness. Having overcome many of his own health challenges, he is a proponent of an active lifestyle and a whole food diet.

Foundation Chiropractic was originally started as “Lovejoy Chiropractic” and was founded in 2010 by Dr. Ryan Adams. In 2013 the practice moved to its current location in Hampton and was renamed “Foundation Chiropractic” because Dr. Ryan was going to focus on a good foundation for health. Ryan was an active Crossfit athlete, husband, and father of 8.

In 2017 Ryan was diagnosed with brain cancer and while he was undergoing treatment, his older brother and fellow chiropractor—Dr. Brandt Adams—began flying out from Dallas, TX to help cover the practice. Every week for several months, Brandt would fly out to work Monday-Thursday at Foundation Chiropractic in Georgia and then back to Texas to work Friday-Saturday with his practice there.

Ryan passed from this life on April 21, 2018, and Brandt now runs Foundation Chiropractic in loving memory of his younger brother Ryan, and is grateful to see Ryan’s “handprints” every day he comes to work.
