Dr. Roger Lyss
“In order to help you, we must first get to know you.”
Inspiration
Dr. Roger Lyss didn’t need to look far for inspiration when deciding to become a chiropractor. “My father, who was a chiropractor, began teaching me chiropractic techniques at age 14. I began attending chiropractic seminars with him at age 15.” Dr. Lyss also assisted his father in teaching seminars before attending Palmer Chiropractic College. This unique background has provided him the strong desire to naturally heal patients.
Education and Background
Dr. Lyss graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1984 from Palmer Chiropractic College in Davenport, Iowa. The day after graduation, he married his wife, Elizabeth Lyss.
Dr. Lyss moved his growing family to Springfield, OH in 1985, where he joined the practice of Dr. David Polen. “Dr. Polen’s specialty was nutrition combined with chiropractic. He was a brilliant man, when it came to nutrition, that taught me a great deal.”
In 1989, the Lyss family moved to Gahanna, OH. Dr. Lyss opened his practice shortly after, in April of 1990. Within 6 months, he had a waiting list. “I believe in trying to help those who have yet to find help.” With this mindset, Dr. Lyss has helped numerous patients, locally and throughout the country.
Dr. Lyss stays abreast of new information by steadily attending post-graduate chiropractic and nutritional seminars. Dr. Lyss is also a member of the Ohio State Chiropractic Association.
Family and Personal Interests
Dr. Roger Lyss enjoys spending time with his wife, Liz, whom he met in the 8th grade. They have 3 children, Dan, Andrew and Becky. Dr. Lyss likes motocross sport and spending time amongst nature as much as possible.
Nutrition and Chiropractic
Dr. Lyss has not lost sight of his passion for healing. “Patients are the heart of my practice….and all of my patients know my heart.” Lyss Chiropractic Center is a location for physical, mental and emotional healing through nutrition and chiropractic techniques. “We empower our patients to take control, support them in making good choices and to reach their full potential in a healthful lifestyle. To be a part of a patient’s life, witnessing their health progress and seeing their life change is a privilege. It’s my biggest reward.”
Dr. Jennifer Irvine
"Educating patients on optimal health is my goal…. Helping people heal is my passion!"
Inspiration
I have always been interested in medicine and helping people. I thought I wanted to be a medical doctor, but I had personal experience that changed that for me. My brother, father and step-father were diagnosed with cancer. They endured surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy. I came to the realization that becoming a medical doctor was not for me, as these experiences ignited my passion for health prevention of disease and functional medicine.
Education & Background
I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Environmental Science and a minor in Business from St. Norbert College in DePere, WI in 1993. I then went on to Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, MO. I met my husband, Dr. Charles Irvine while studying at Logan. Graduating in 1998, I worked as a chiropractor in Woodstock, IL, before marrying my husband and moving to Columbus, OH. (The movie Groundhog Day was filmed in beautiful Woodstock, IL)
Family and Personal Interests
Chuck and I have one son, Jack, who is a freshman in high school. I love to travel and spend time with my family, as well as gardening. I enjoy cooking home-made meals and entertaining friends and family. I get such pleasure making healthy, delicious tasting food, mostly from scratch.
When cooking, I focus on making food from the Paleo and Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diets for myself and family. I make bone broth, ferment coconut kefir/yogurt, kombucha, water kefir, sauerkraut pickles and vegetables.
I continue learning and stay up to date on the latest research by attending post graduate nutritional and functional medicine seminars. This allows me to keep my passion for healing ignited and gives me an advantage to help heal and educate my patients.
Nutrition and Chiropractic
My passion is to educate patients on how to optimize a lifestyle and environment that can maximize their healing potential. Suffering from Hashimoto disease (an autoimmune hypothyroid disease), I know exactly what it feels like to be really sick. I have empathy and compassion for anyone that is suffering with dysfunction or disease. I am here to help people regain their optimal health and maintain a balanced lifestyle. It’s my calling.
