My interest in alternative health began in 1996 after dealing with illnesses and injuries for many years. I was a competitive cross country and track athlete during my high school and college years but unfortunately I was injured or ill almost as often as I was healthy. In August 1991, just before the start of my senior year of college, I became ill with a fever and fatigue which lasted for one full year. I made the trip to many different medical doctors and had many tests performed with many different diagnoses. I was on antibiotics for most of that year and every time I would go off of them I would get a fever again. The doctors then took my tonsils and adenoids and I was told I would be better, but I only became worse. I took two years off from exercising before trying to become competitive again. In 1994 I began training for triathlons only to injure my knee. I was unable to run ¼ of a mile without severe pain. In the spring of 1996 I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and suffered from kidney stones. I was also told I needed surgery on my knee if I was going to run again. At this point I was extremely frustrated and sick and tired of being sick and tired. With every visit to the doctor came more and more prescriptions for drugs. At the age of 27 I was a walking pharmacy. I was constantly self-medicating for every little sniffle.
Then, in the spring of 1996 I met my wife who introduced me to Dr. Randy Tent of Novi, Michigan. Dr. Tent diagnosed me right away and was able to tell me why I was fatigued, what was wrong with my knee and why I had kidney stones. He started me on Standard Process whole food nutritional supplements along with chiropractic care. I began noticing a difference within months and by the end of a year I felt like a new person. I was able to run more than ten miles without knee pain or fatigue. Sure, I had to take a lot of supplements, but I knew this was repairing my body and getting to the root cause of my problem instead of covering up my symptoms with toxic chemicals. At that time I had a degree in HVAC & R Engineering Technology and owned and operated an indoor air quality business. After my experience with Dr. Tent and a great deal of support and encouragement from my wife, I began to pursue an education in chiropractic and alternative health. I struggled with deciding which type of education to pursue. Should I become a naturopath, a homeopath, a nutritionist or a chiropractor? I began studying and taking seminars in these areas. I quickly came to the conclusion that patients couldn't be at their optimal health without chiropractic, whole food nutrition and proper exercise. I decided that chiropractic would give me the best opportunity and education to be able to help the largest number of people in all of these areas. Upon making my decision, I began researching every chiropractic school in the country to find the best possible education. In the end, I chose Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, Missouri just west of St. Louis. 
Before entering chiropractic school, I made many visits to different chiropractors in order to see what techniques were out there. I began researching each of the techniques and was very intrigued by one in particular called Applied Kinesiology founded and developed by Dr. George J. Goodheart.
While attending Logan, I experimented with many different techniques but I always felt that each technique was incomplete, except Applied Kinesiology. I then began taking seminars outside of chiropractic school each month given by Dr. Louis Boven of Holland, Michigan and Dr. Alan Zatkin (long time associate of Dr. Goodheart's) of Farmington Hills, Michigan. I also took applied kinesiology classes at Logan from Dr. Catherine Conable of St. Louis, Missouri. Although I hadn't yet met Dr. Goodheart, he was my hero when it came to alternative health. I was always amazed when I would read, study, and practice his work. He was years ahead of his time and he had a gift that few have. At the same time I was the Standard Process student representative for Logan College. My job was to educate other chiropractic students about Standard Process whole food nutrition. I was also a teaching assistant for the Applied Kinesiology Club and recipient of the first George J. Goodheart Scholarship in Applied Kinesiology funded by Standard Process. I also enjoyed being president of the Christian Chiropractic Club on the Logan campus. Upon graduation, I fulfilled an internship with Dr. Bruce DeBoe (Applied Kinesiologist) in Bay City, Michigan and was then asked to work with Dr. George Goodheart and Associates in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan. I couldn't believe I was actually given the opportunity to work at the office of the founder and developer of Applied Kinesiology. I owe a great deal of gratitude to all of my mentors, especially Dr. Zatkin for giving me that opportunity. Although I didn't know Dr. Goodheart long before he passed away, I will always remember just sitting and listening to his stories of how he developed this great science, philosophy and art. My vision, from the time I decided to go to chiropractic school, was to have an alternative health clinic where patients can come to get answers to their health problems in a Christian environment. With blessings from my Lord and Savior and a great deal of help and support from my wonderful wife and six children, I have now fulfilled my vision. In 2008 I purchased the building from the Goodheart's and formed a new corporation called Triad Health Solutions, P.C. Dr. Joseph M. Wardie Chiropractor and Professional Applied Kinesiologist |
I grew up with a holistic background starting with Dr. George Goodheart as my Chiropractor, along with many of his associates to follow.
My own health practices and "home remedies" were all due to the foundation of Applied Kinesiology. This practice is what urged me to
pursue Massage Therapy as a career.
. I graduated from Health Enrichment Center Massage School in 1995. Since, I have been practicing Massage Therapy full time as an independent contractor. I have worked at two other Chiropractor's offices in the past 14 years. However, it wasn't until I started working in Dr. Joseph Wardie's office that I finally feel like it is "home." .
