Meet The Team
Chiropractor & Clinic Director
James Taylor D.C.
Dr. Taylor grew up in St. Michael, MN and graduated from St. Michael-Albertville high school. His interest in chiropractic began in high school while playing rugby. With the constant battering a rugby player’s body takes, a person needs far more than some aspirin or ibuprofen to keep themselves in playing shape. Chiropractic allowed Dr. Taylor (at that time, simply ‘Jim’) to stay on the pitch and continue to play the sport he loved and his passion for chiropractic has grown ever since.
Dr. Taylor received his Bachelor's of Science in Biology with minors in Kinesiology and Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire after which he attended Northwestern Health Sciences University to obtain his Doctorate of Chiropractic.
Dr. Taylor continues to remain active in the community and aims to spread the chiropractic message. Continuing with his love of rugby, Dr. Taylor gives back to his favorite sport and holds his post as the team chiropractor for the rugby clubs of TCU, Fort Worth, the HEB Hurricanes, and the Euless Texans who, in 2016, won 2nd place in the nation for Men’s Division III. He is also a member of the Northeast Tarrant Chamber of Commerce and an affiliate chiropractor for a select number of local CrossFit and MMA gyms in the area making sure any and all local athletes, no matter their sport or level of experience, can train harder, recover faster and always preform at their best.

Chiropractor
Blake Johnson D.C.
A lifelong athlete and driven professional, Dr. Johnson is a proud native of Biloxi, Mississippi, and a 2015 graduate of Biloxi High School. He began his athletic journey at the age of 4, excelling in both baseball and football throughout childhood and into college.
Earning multiple scholarships in both sports, he chose to pursue baseball at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College before transferring to The University of Mississippi, where he played football and earned a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science.
In 2021, his passion for fitness evolved into competitive bodybuilding, where he quickly made a mark—competing in multiple shows in 2023, including nationals in Irving, Texas, with aspirations of earning an IFBB Pro Card in Men’s Physique. That same year in 2021, he met a chiropractor whose mentorship profoundly influenced him. After spending a year gaining hands-on experience as a Chiropractic Assistant, he was inspired to pursue a Doctorate of Chiropractic at Parker University starting in January 2022.
While navigating the rigorous 3.5-year doctoral program, he also launched First Class Physiques, an online fitness coaching business specializing in personalized nutrition, training, and supplementation. In addition to being a certified personal trainer and group training certified, his commitment to health and performance culminated in earning a Master’s Degree in Nutrition just prior to completing chiropractic school.
Today, Dr. Johnson stands at the intersection of elite athletics, evidence-based nutrition, and chiropractic care—empowering clients to optimize their bodies from the inside out. He graduated from Parker University in 2025, prepared to make a lasting impact in the fields of health, fitness, and holistic care.
