A brief biography:
Undergraduate studies:
- Riverside California
- University of Utah; SLC, UT
Graduate Studies:
Dr. Shetlin has been passionate about health and the human body since his youth. Growing up with role models like “The Incredible Hulk,” Lou Frigno, Arnold Swartzenhager, Gymnast – Mary Lou Retton, Dr. Shetlin has been amazed with what the human frame can do, how it can change shape, and its amazing ability to heal itself after a trauma. There was a time in the 4th grade where he had a run-in with a forceful jolt of electricity…in his 4th grade mind, he thought he had been “gama-rayed” turning him into a miniature “incredible hulk,” but we will save that story for another time.
Also in his youth his mother was injured in a Motor Vehicle Collision. Visits to the Chiropractor restored her health and vitality. She had mentioned how much better she felt after visiting the Chiropractor which left an impression on Dr. Shetlin's then young and impressionable mind. He determined he wanted to be a Chiropractor in the 5th grade.
Southern Utah
Once his graduate requirements were complete, Dr. Shetlin opened his own practice in St. George, UT. He has never stopped learning and has been a diligent servant to his community. In his six years in practice in southern Utah, Dr. Shetlin…
- Served as President of the Utah Spinal Research Foundation
- Served as President of the American Spinal Research Foundation
- Organized a Triathlon to fund Spinal Research
- Organized the, “Natural Health and Fitness Expo”
- Lectured frequently on “Optimal health, naturally…without drugs and surgery.”
- Headed two research studies, one on Asthma, the other on Multiple Sclerosis.
- Certified as an Auto Accident Specialist (One of only 12 in Utah!)
- Developed his practice into a group with Chiropractors, Medical Doctors, Physical Therapist and Massage Therapists all working together for the benefit of the patient.
Moving to SLC… The European Detour
In 2004 Dr. Shetlin decided to sell his practice and return to northern Utah. Interestingly, while at an International Chiropractic Continuing Education seminar in Athens, Greece, Dr. Shetlin met Dr. Hatch. Dr. Hatch was opening multiple clinics in Portugal and looking to bring skilled doctors to Europe. The timing was right, Dr. Shetlin's children were at a great age for an international adventure, Portugal is beautiful, and his wife was willing. So, Dr. Shetlin and his family moved to practice chiropractic and serve their church in Portugal for two years.

Here and now…
Now back in the Salt Lake Valley, Dr. Shetlin continues to serve the community to the best of his ability. He continues to lecture on Health topics, as well as, Auto Accident Physics & Safety. He is working diligently on his forthcoming health book, “Techniques for Advanced Living”.
What does he do in his spare time? Family, movies, and mountain biking.
