Hey I'm Dr. Josh Bletzinger
Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner®
For over 20 years I've been helping my patients & clients recover and accelerate to a greater level of health through Functional Medicine, Nutrition, Fitness, & More.
In 2004, I opened my first clinic in Geneva, Illinois. What started as a small clinic has grown into RPA Health, an industry leader in functional medicine and athlete development. My journey has been one of transformation and dedication, not only to my personal growth but also to the health and well-being of my patients.
From the beginning, my passion was clear: helping athletes recover from injuries and reach their peak performance. I grew a high-volume chiropractic and sports medicine practice, working with Olympic figure skaters, professional hockey players, and providing sports medicine services to local high schools. Coaching youth hockey was a labor of love, a way to give back to the sport that shaped my life.

From the beginning, my passion was clear: helping athletes recover from injuries and reach their peak performance. I grew a high-volume chiropractic and sports medicine practice, working with Olympic figure skaters, professional hockey players, and providing sports medicine services to local high schools. Coaching youth hockey was a labor of love, a way to give back to the sport that shaped my life.
However, life had other plans for me. My father's struggle with type 2 diabetes and my grandmother's battle with dementia opened my eyes to the limitations of conventional medicine. I saw firsthand the devastating impact of chronic diseases and the failure of traditional approaches to provide lasting solutions. It was a wake-up call that drove me to explore functional medicine deeply.
Functional medicine became more than a professional interest; it became a personal mission. Witnessing my family's health challenges and dealing with my own injuries and childhood obesity, I knew I had to find a better way. I discovered that addressing the root causes of health issues, rather than just treating symptoms, was the key to true healing and vitality.
Armed with this new understanding, I shifted my focus from sports injury to functional medicine. I developed a proprietary method that combines functional diagnostic medicine with personalized treatment plans. This approach allows me to help patients reverse chronic health challenges such as type 2 diabetes, autoimmune conditions, and cognitive impairment. By focusing on immune system function, biotoxicity, and neurologic health, I guide my patients to reclaim their health and slow down the aging process.
My educational journey laid the foundation for my expertise. I earned a degree in kinesiology from Northern Illinois University in 1999 and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2004. Over the years, I obtained certifications as a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner®, Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician®, and Certified Athletic Trainer. Countless postdoctoral training hours in functional medicine, clinical nutrition, and functional endocrinology have equipped me with the tools to address complex health issues effectively.
At RPA Health, I integrate my extensive experience and personal insights to create tailored programs for each patient. Whether you're an elite athlete looking to enhance performance or someone struggling with chronic health issues, my goal is to help you find lasting solutions and achieve optimal health.
Beyond the clinic, I continue to share my knowledge by teaching anatomy, running training programs, and coaching hockey. My two beautiful daughters are my constant source of inspiration, reminding me of the importance of health and vitality in living a fulfilling life.
