MEET
THE TEAM
Dr. Keegan Metcalf, DC, MS
Dr. Metcalf was born and raised in Southwest Oklahoma and attended Oklahoma Baptist University where he participated in both football and track. He later transferred to Oklahoma State University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science, with a focus in Kinesiology.
While at Oklahoma State, Dr. Metcalf joined the football team as a walk-on, earned a full ride scholarship, and was named a team captain in his final season with the Cowboys. More importantly, he met his wife, Graham, while attending school in Stillwater.
During his time at Oklahoma State, Dr. Metcalf noticed a gap between the injury rehabilitation and strength and conditioning elements of athletic performance, and following graduation he sought out a way to bridge that gap.
Dr. Metcalf attended Parker University in Dallas, Texas, graduating with his Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2021 and is a Master in Neuroscience candidate.
Dr. Metcalf contributes his success to his loving wife and incredible parents who have supported him on his journey to becoming the health care provider he is today.
Along with his background as a multiple sport athlete in both high school and college, Dr. Metcalf has training in and bases his treatment methods on Functional Movements Systems, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization, Motion Palpation, and Rehab to Performance principles to deliver performance focused outcomes.
Dr. Metcalf’s goal is to be a resource for the active and athletic community and help them continue doing what they love and give them the tools necessary to become better than before.

THESIS:
Metcalf, K. (2021). Heart rate variability’s physiological influence and relationship to physical activity. [Unpublished Masters thesis]. Parker University.
Heart rate variability (HRV) is discussed in regard to its mounting popularity in the sports and fitness world, due to its potential to accurately reflect an individuals performance and ability to recover. The strong correlation to overall health is further discussed, as well as HRV’s link to inflammatory levels, quality and quantity of sleep, dietary status, psychological well-being, underlying pathophysiology, and representation of the body’s autonomic nervous system function. Additional research is warranted, to determine the precision and reliability of HRV, given these noted significant interactions.

Dr. Shae was raised in Enid, Oklahoma and graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor's in Health and Exercise Science. She then graduated from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy.
During her time at Mayo Clinic, she was able to complete clinical rotations in many different specialty areas including inpatient neuro, outpatient orthopedic, acute care, outpatient pelvic health, and vestibular therapies. Ultimately, her love for orthopedics and pelvic health with fitness athletes remained her primary focus and where she wanted to continue her career.
Norman, OK is where she calls home with her husband, Tyler, and their dog. She has always had a love for sports, fitness, and competition. She began to take on personal training clients while finishing her undergraduate degree and has since obtained her CrossFit Level 1. She also received her Pelvic Health Level 1 through the APTA with goals of helping athletes with pelvic floor symptoms and to help pregnant and postpartum athletes return to activities that they love. Dr. Shae has taken multiple continuing education courses through the institute of clinical excellence (Ice physio) to deepen her knowledge of how to treat patients as a fitness forward clinician.
Shae's personal athletic background includes CrossFit, Jiu Jitsu, Hiking, and Weightlifting.

Graham is a functional and holistic-based nutritionist, providing individualized care and protocols for clients with a variety of backgrounds. She has education in blood chemistries, gut microbiome and food sensitivity laboratory testing, epigenetics, nutrigenomics, special diets, therapeutic supplementation, and more. She works with all individuals, but particularly loves working with digestive/gastrointestinal, autoimmune, chronic inflammation, and women’s health-related issues.
She is a Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine candidate, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP), and Restorative Wellness Practitioner (RWP), with advanced education through the Institute for Functional Medicine, and a concentration in gastrointestinal health. She graduated with her Bachelor of Psychology from Colorado Christian University in Denver, Colorado, where her primary area of focus was Sport Psychology. She completed a research assistantship pre- and post-graduation, followed by publication. While in Denver, she enjoyed skiing in the winter and coached figure skating year-round, for a national program.
Graham loves helping people reclaim their health and take back their lives. As a former competitive figure skater, weightlifter, and endurance athlete, her personal experiences with athletic and metabolic burnout, iatrogenic medical error, and subsequent chronic health struggles have led her to where she is today. She strongly believes in the power of personalized nutrition for optimized health, the importance of gut microbiota balance for all people and athletes, as well as addressing the whole body in a bio-individualized way. This individualization is one of the many reasons she enjoys working with both doctors, Metcalf and Sharbutt, who implement similar strategies in their own treatment approaches.
She is married to her best friend and husband, Dr. Keegan Metcalf, who she met at Oklahoma State University. It has been one of their greatest aspirations to work together in a clinical setting, which has come to fruition!

THESIS:
Turner-Metcalf, G. (2017). The neurological, psychological, and physiological effects of cortisol on sport performance. [Unpublished undergraduate thesis]. Colorado Christian University.
The stress hormone cortisol is discussed in relation to sport performance and competitiveness. The Yerkes-Dodson law theorizing an optimal level of stress, plus the dual-hormone pattern of cortisol and testosterone are addressed in conjunction with athletes. Specific origins of stressors, including Social Evaluative Threat and the Social Self-Preservation Theory are identified, along with prospective intervention methods.
