Meet Dr. David B. Starkey DC, MS, Dipl. Ac., a lifelong athlete, healer, and mentor whose journey bridges sports, resilience, and holistic health.
Born and raised in Troy, Ohio, Dr. Starkey excelled in football and wrestling, earning a state championship appearance and a scholarship to the University of Florida, where he was named Outstanding Defensive Player as a freshman. A devastating knee injury shifted his path, but his determination never wavered.
After trying out for professional football in Canada and San Diego, he transitioned to boxing, where he shared the ring with heavyweight champions and trained alongside legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and Angelo Dundee.
Choosing a path of service and healing, Dr. Starkey returned to Florida to complete his Bachelor’s, Master of Science, and ultimately his Doctor of Chiropractic degree. Today, he continues to practice chiropractic care, combining his deep knowledge of the body with his passion for helping others live stronger, healthier lives.
This conversation dives into resilience, mentorship, and the lessons Dr. Starkey brings from athletics to wellness and community.
