BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Michael A. Scimeca
Born on September 8, 1959, in Baldwin, Long Island, NY, Dr. Michael A. Scimeca has spent over six decades evolving into a trailblazing chiropractor, author, innovator, and creative force. From his roots on the East Coast to his current home in Marietta, GA, where he lives with his wife Frances and remains a proud father to three adult children, Michael’s journey is one of relentless curiosity and a passion for unlocking human potential.
A 1993 graduate of Life University with a Doctorate in Chiropractic, Dr. Michael didn’t just settle into a career—he redefined it. Settling in Roswell, Georgia, he built a private practice that has thrived for over 30 years, becoming a laboratory for his groundbreaking ideas. Early on, he birthed Catalyst, a hands-on system of bodywork that introduced his concept of “Neurological Nutrition”—using specialized stimuli to supercharge bodily function without leaning on traditional therapies.
This sparked Thriveapeutics, his signature approach that ditches symptom-chasing for what he calls, “Forward Healing” —a bold march toward ever-improving states of being.
Never one to stop at “good enough,” Dr. Michael crafted Greaterness Coaching, empowering individuals to step into their best selves, and Successions, a hierarchical system for tackling life’s challenges with precision (his Succession Seven is a fan favorite).
His philosophy? Don’t just heal—thrive. Don’t be a patient—be a participant. It’s a mindset he’s poured into his acclaimed book, The Guardian Within, a guide to personal growth that’s as much a wake-up call as it is a roadmap.
Beyond the chiropractic world, Michael’s a creative powerhouse. A musician, actor, and now a fantasy novelist with his debut novella Artifacts, he channels his artistic fire into thought leadership that keeps him—and those around him—on the cutting edge. “There will always be excitingly new ways to see and do things,” he says. “That’s life!”
For Dr. Michael A. Scimeca, life isn’t just about living—it’s about igniting the mind, body, and soul to soar.
