Jason Gourlas, MPAS, PA-C

For as long as he can remember, Jason wanted to be a detective. While serving as an Army medic, he realized that medicine combined detective work with his other love, science. So, as a member of the Texas Army National Guard, he attended the U.S. Army Physician Assistant Program at Fort Sam Houston – graduating summa cum laude in 1996. He later went on to obtain his master’s degree in physician assistant studies through the University of Texas.

During his more than 26 years in clinical practice, he has had a wide variety of experience in military medicine, family practice, emergency medicine, neurotology (a hearing and balance subspecialty of ENT), and surgical critical care.

In 2006, he suffered his own health challenges for which his conventional medical training and experience provided few treatment options and no cures. He began to investigate alternative, integrative, and functional (root cause) medicine. It was there that he found the answers that he needed. With dietary and lifestyle modification, his issues resolved. He was hooked, obtaining more formal training through the Institute of Functional Medicine and eventually, board certification through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

Jason’s passion is researching alternative/integrative/functional medicine and implementing the best findings into his personal and medical practice. His other hobbies include hiking, biking and being outside enjoying God’s creation with his beautiful wife, Val.
