Dr. Zak was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa, where his passion for sports and wellness took root early in life. He earned a scholarship to play baseball at the University of Iowa, but after sustaining a sports injury, he transferred to Grand View University. There, he graduated with honors, earning dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology and
Biochemistry. Driven by his own experience with injury and recovery, he went on to receive his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic.

His introduction to chiropractic care came after a serious low back injury in high school sidelined him from competition. When other treatments fell short, chiropractic care was the only thing that got him back in the game—an experience that solidified his desire to pursue it as a lifelong profession. Dr. Zak has now been proudly serving the Greater Des Moines area as a chiropractor for over seven years.

With an extensive athletic background as a competitive baseball player, wrestler, and MMA fighter, Dr. Zak brings a unique understanding of sports performance and injury recovery to his patients. His passion for fitness and health fuels his mission to help others achieve their best quality of life, particularly those pursuing active lifestyles. Outside the clinic, Dr. Zak cherishes time with his wife, Vancy, and their three children, Hudson, London, and Lovelyn. Whether he's coaching one of his kids' sports teams or enjoying the outdoors with his family, Dr. Zak lives the same active and wellness-focused lifestyle he encourages in others.
