Dr. Jonah Yakel
Dr. Jonah Yakel, D.C. is a chiropractor and functional health practitioner who consults with clients nationwide via telehealth. He works in partnership with the George Washington Center for Integrative Medicine, which provides medical oversight and access to labs, imaging, and prescriptions as needed. His practice falls under the Holistic and Integrative category.
Dr. Yakel specializes in cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease; anxiety and depression; autoimmune conditions; mold and Lyme-related illness; blood sugar dysfunction; and chronic inflammatory conditions. He is particularly well suited for a non-toxic living audience given his deep focus on CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) and mold-related illness, and his direct personal experience with both. Working with Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, a pioneer in mold-related illness, Dr. Yakel discovered he was suffering from CIRS due to toxic mold exposure in both his home and office, and he completed an 18-month healing journey that transformed his own approach to treating chronic illness. He is Shoemaker Protocol certified in CIRS and mold toxicity.
Dr. Yakel offers a 12-month program called the CIRS Brain Solution, designed for those battling cognitive symptoms from mold exposure, Lyme disease, Long COVID, or other biotoxin illnesses. The program includes one-on-one consultations to review lab and test results, weekly live Q&A sessions, group coaching, online modules covering detoxification, hormones, inflammation, brain retraining, and remediation, and step-by-step guidance on navigating the Shoemaker Protocol. He also offers individual one-on-one telehealth consultations on a concierge basis, during which he reviews past labs, explores root causes, and determines whether functional medicine labs or advanced protocols are needed. A free 20-minute discovery call is available for prospective clients. The website does not mention insurance acceptance or HSA/FSA eligibility, and no physical office location is listed, as his practice is conducted entirely via telehealth.
