He earned degrees in Biology and Medical Laboratory Medicine at Ball State University, then spent two years in hospital hematology before enrolling at Indiana University School of Medicine, where he graduated in 1983. During his Family Medicine residency, he rose to Chief Resident in his final year and earned honors for teaching.
Dr. Spahr practiced family medicine for twenty years, including obstetrics, vasectomy, and upper and lower endoscopy. In 1996, his interest in identifying the root cause of illness led him into formal education in metabolic and integrative medicine.

He holds board certification in Family Medicine through ABFM and board certification in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine through ABAARM. In 2008 he earned his Fellowship in Anti-Aging, Regenerative and Functional Medicine. He later served as Chief Science Officer and Medical Director for a nutritional company before returning to clinical practice. Today he focuses on metabolic disease identification and management, building therapy protocols from the synergy of allopathic, integrative, genetic, functional, and biochemical medicine. He is passionate about hormone optimization, thyroid health, adrenal function, and the relationship between hormones and cardiovascular risk.
