Wellness from the Mountains Up: Why We Built Gerber Wellness & Co. in Glens Falls

When you live in the Adirondacks, “health” isn’t a hashtag.

It’s whether you can:

Stack the wood
Shovel after a storm
Get through a double shift
Hike a trail or launch the boat
Play with your kids or grandkids
And still feel like yourself at the end of the day

That’s why we built Gerber Wellness & Co. right here in Glens Falls.
Not in a big city. Not as a franchise.
But as a local, Adirondack clinic for the people who actually live and work here.

This is wellness that starts from the mountains up—from your foundation, not from a fad.

What “Wellness from the Mountains Up” Really Means

The mountains don’t rush. They don’t cut corners. They’re shaped over time.

We take that same approach to your health:

Start with your foundation
Your spine, nervous system, metabolism, gut, stress load—this is your “bedrock.”
If that foundation is off, everything else feels harder than it needs to be.
Build simple, repeatable habits
No 47-step routines. No all-or-nothing plans.
Just clear, doable steps that fit your life in the North Country.
Support long-term strength, not quick fixes
We’re not chasing 7-day miracles.
We’re building a body and mind that can carry you through the next decade, not just the next weekend.

Rooted in the Adirondacks (On Purpose)

We didn’t pick Glens Falls because a consultant told us it was a “good market.”

We built here because:

We know what it’s like to drive these roads in winter
We know what a 10-hour shift does to your back
We know what it means to be “tired-tired,” not just sleepy
We know the pride of blue-collar and small business work in this area

Our patients are:

Contractors, mechanics, and nurses
Teachers, office workers, and small business owners
Parents, grandparents, first responders, and retirees
Lifelong locals and new transplants who fell in love with the mountains

We’re not an out-of-town chain trying to “capture a region.”
We’re neighbors, and we’re building something that belongs here.

What We Actually Do (In Plain English)

Every clinic has a long list of services. That’s not what most people want to read.

Here’s what we really help you with:

1. Chiropractic Care So You Can Actually Move Again

Back, neck, hip, or shoulder issues?

We use chiropractic care to:

Reduce pain and stiffness
Improve how you move and function
Help your body handle stress better—physical and mental

No assembly line care. No “crack and see you next time” with no explanation.
We listen, we examine, we explain, and we build a plan with you.

2. The Gerber Diet: A Real-World Metabolic Reset

The Gerber Diet is our structured, science-backed approach for:

Weight loss
Metabolic reset
Better energy and fewer crashes

It’s:

Clear and simple (not a different rule every day)
Designed to work with busy schedules
Built around real food, smart supplementation, and accountability

You don’t have to be perfect.
You just have to be willing to take the next step—and keep going.

3. Gut Health, Fasting & “Inside-Out” Wellness

So many people feel like this:

“Something is off. My labs are ‘fine,’ but I don’t feel fine.”

This is where gut-focused care, strategic fasting, and lifestyle work come in.

We help you:

Calm down inflammation
Support digestion and gut repair
Use smart, realistic fasting (when appropriate)
Start feeling clearer, lighter, and more in control

No starving yourself. No extreme detox. Just thoughtful, guided changes.

4. Peptide & Hormone Support (Used the Right Way)

For the right patients, and always under proper medical supervision, we’re building out peptide and hormone support to help with:

Recovery and repair
Strength and body composition
Energy, focus, and healthy aging

This isn’t a shortcut.
It’s another tool—science-driven, carefully monitored, and never used in isolation from the rest of your health.

What It Feels Like to Walk into Gerber Wellness & Co.

You’ll notice the difference quickly.

You’re greeted like a human, not a number.
You’ll have space to talk about what’s really going on—not just a checklist of symptoms.
We’ll tell you what we see, in words that make sense.
You’ll leave with a plan—not a shrug and “everything looks normal.”

We believe in:

Straight talk – Honest, clear, and respectful
Transparency – You know what things cost and why
Partnership – We don’t “fix you;” we work with you
Community – Referring to other trusted providers when it’s best for you

This clinic is built on the idea that people deserve better: better care, better listening, better options.

Who We’re For

You’ll fit right in here if you:

Are tired of feeling run-down all the time
Have put your own health on the back burner for years
Want to lose weight or reduce pain without doing something crazy
Want to keep hiking, working, adventuring, parenting, and living fully
Don’t need perfection—you just want better

You do not need to already be healthy to start.
You just need to be willing to take that first step.
