After having a lifechanging health experience, Dr. Gershfeld changed careers from electrical engineer to chiropractor. This led him down the path of health promotion through healthy living where he had experienced tremendous results as a patient at the True North Health Center.
Dr. Gershfeld then became a staff doctor at the world renowned True North Health Center from 2011-2014 where, while supervising fasting patients, lecturing on health and wellness, and maintaining a private practice, he earned his Professional Certification by the International Association of Hygienic Physicians. After 2014, Dr. Gershfeld moved his practice to Southern California and founded Fasting Escape, a health center offering supervised therapeutic fasting. Fasting Escape later expanded to become an exclusively doctor – supervised remote fasting program.
He currently serves on the board of the True North Health Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) non – profit foundation dedicated to research in the areas of health promotion and medically supervised water-only fasting.
