About Dr. Nicolas Campos

Dr. Nicolas Campos is a noted health expert, researcher, clinical chiropractic sports physician, molecular biologist, devoted yogi, and health lecturer. He was born in San Francisco on December 26, 1967. Maybe it was the influence of The City’s various countercultures, or maybe San Francisco just had a way of producing people who are different, but Dr. Campos could never be called a conformist. This is especially true regarding his philosophy on health. His views on health have been shaped by western and eastern philosophies, scientific evidence, yogic principles, new age spiritualism, and modern-day mind-body theories.

Nicolas was fortunate to have a mother with a great enthusiasm for health, which she readily passed on to her children. Mother Ingard watched Jack LaLanne, fed her family “health foods”, gave them daily doses of vitamins, and took them for regular chiropractic visits. It was a shock to Nicolas years later when he discovered that these practices were not only uncommon for most people but also considered on the fringe.

Always rebellious, Nicolas turned away from the healthy living of his upbringing and entered into a world of drugs and alcohol. What started out as a kick and an attempt to forge an identity eventually became a full-fledged disorder. Alcohol and narcotic addiction, trouble with the law, and a 20-year cigarette habit were all sitting on top of his list of early accomplishments. It took a near brush with death to snap Nicolas out of his self-destructive behaviors. As it turned out, this was precisely what he needed to turn his life around.

A high-school dropout, Nicolas returned to school to receive his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Berkeley in Molecular and Cell Biology. Nicolas completed the program with an emphasis in the rapidly developing field of Immunology. It was during this period, particularly as he studied pre-medical courses, that he first became aware of the inconsistency between the modern medical paradigm and health.

Nicolas earned his doctorate degree in chiropractic in 2000. The field of chiropractic was a perfect fit for him, as it allowed him to pursue his continued interest in human health while remaining consistent with his philosophy that health is a birthright which may only flourish through meticulous care. He was also able to incorporate his love of athletics by earning a post-graduate degree in Sports Chiropractic from the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians in 2002. 

Dr. Campos practices in West Hollywood, California bringing a unique approach to caring for his clientele. He encourages his patients to embark on a regimen of good health by following the principles outlined in his book, The Six Keys to Optimal Health. Understanding the need to act as a role model, Dr. Campos practices what he preaches, making The Six Keys to Optimal Health an integral part of his own lifestyle. He feels fortunate to have the opportunity to influence and guide so many people through his work, and he is especially thrilled to be the chiropractor of choice for a large number of professional dancers—his absolute favorite athletes.

The doctor’s current projects include a completely interactive website, www.drnickcampos.com, which includes monthly health articles, health and wellness news podcasts, and exercise and fitness video podcasts. A dynamic speaker, Dr. Campos spends his time speaking with corporations on the value of increasing productivity through company sponsored wellness programs, and he also conducts regular seminars in personal development and achievement that have helped thousands of people reach their highest potential.

Dr. Campos spends his spare time reading and writing—that is, when he is not playing with his family, practicing yoga, working out at the gym, playing basketball, or running with his dogs. His interests range from sports to history to business, but his real passions are philosophy, spirituality, and the mysteries of the Universe. His favorite authors—and two greatest influences—are Dr. John F. Demartini and Fritjof Capra, both having inspired the philosophy that is the basis for his current book.

Dr. Campos uses his work to motivate and educate people from all over the world. He is dedicated to promoting a new planetary wellness paradigm which he calls The Personal Responsibility in Health Movement. Dr. Campos uses ancient wisdom and modern day perspectives to inspire and motivate people to adopt the healthy lifestyle behaviors that will lead them to make wellness one of their highest priority values.
