Dr. Robert Zembroski is a Chiropractic Physician, Board-Certified Chiropractic Neurologist, Clinical Nutritionist, specialist in Functional Medicine, author and public speaker. Twenty years in private practice helped Dr. Zembroski become an expert in health topics from heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and hormone-related issues. He also specializes in treating neurological and musculoskeletal dysfunctions, as well as acute and chronic pain syndromes. Currently, Dr. Zembroski is the director of The Darien Center for Functional Medicine, in Darien Connecticut.

Seven years ago, Dr. Z’s own diagnosis of non-Hodgkins lymphoma led to several courses of toxic chemotherapy, as well as surgery to remove a five-inch tumor from his chest. Through the use of nutritional support, targeted supplementation, exercise, stress reduction and elimination of toxins, he is not only cancer-free, but has returned to excellent health. That experience inspired him to create the Cancer Victor^TM lifestyle to inspire, motivate and teach people how to prevent cancer or its return, as well as other chronic diseases. He has also developed ‘Defeat your Disease^TM’ and ‘Conquer your Condition^TM’ as an education platform to inspire and motivate you to prevent and resolve your chronic health issues.  

As a fitness expert, Dr. Zembroski recently completed his first book, Rebuild Drawing on the latest research, his own journey to rebuild himself after cancer, and over 20 years of working with his patients, Dr. Zembroski provides a clear guide to designing your own diet and exercise program to meet your specific needs. No fads or extremes, it includes just sound advice rooted in solid scientific research and real experience. He makes the research accessible and understandable. He shows you how to apply it with simple “do-it-yourself” tools. And he shows you how to keep it all in perspective so you can sustain your changes for a lifetime.

Dr. Zembroski is currently working on a second book to show that processed food in a poor diet is the number-one reason behind today’s chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune diseases, etc. The title will be announced at a later date. Dr. Z has written many articles for various local magazines and newspapers on topics ranging from ADD/ADHD to breast cancer, lactose intolerance, seasonal affective disorder and more.

To illustrate the failed standards of care regarding coronary-artery disease, Dr. Z is currently working with Emmy Award-winning film producers Mazzarella Media to film a documentary, “Suddenly”, to explain that heart disease is not “sudden”; it develops over time due to poor lifestyle choices. The film will feature new research, as well as the lifestyle changes that prevent and reverse heart disease. He is also collaborating with a number of prominent experts in the field, including Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, author of “Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease” and featured in the documentary “Forks over Knives”; Dr. Belisa Vranich, TV Psychologist; Dr. Miriam Nelson, best-selling author of “Strong Women” and “The Social Network Diet:  Change Yourself, Change the World”, who has been featured on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and “Good Morning America”; Dr. Jeffrey Bland, father of Functional Medicine and founder of The Personalized Lifestyle Medicine; and Dr. Marc Penn, Chief Medical Officer of The Cleveland HeartLab.

Additionally, Dr. Z is trained in the diagnosis and treatment of ADD, ADHD, learning disabilities and behavioral disorders. An avid brain researcher, he has created a natural supplement formulation for ADD and ADHD, for which he has a patent pending. His considerable expertise in nutrition and biochemistry, as well as hormone profiling, treatment and rehabilitation, has been serving Fairfield County and beyond for 20 years, bringing an end to the fear and confusion so many of us experience in the quest for authentic wellness.

He participates in over 200 hours of continuing education annually to remain informed on the latest developments in the science of neurology, epigenetics, and functional medicine.
