our TEAM
Cara Wells
CEO || Wellness Coach
Cara Wells has been dedicated to helping people achieve better health through the Ideal Protein Protocol since 2015. Initially, she assisted Dr. Erik’s patients in losing weight to relieve joint pressure and reduce inflammation. Recognizing a broader need, she soon expanded her efforts to reach the greater community and beyond.
Understanding that each patient’s needs are unique and often challenging, Cara introduced additional services, treatments, and products to Renew Wellness. This commitment to supporting patients in their health journeys led her and Dr. Erik to establish Renew Wellness in conjunction with Chiro Clinic. As the COO of Renew Wellness, Cara plays a pivotal role in the organization’s success.
Outside of her professional life, she enjoys managing a busy household of children and pets, volunteering at her church and her children’s school, gardening, cooking, hiking, traveling, and spending quality time with family and friends.

DC, MS
Chiropractor
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a minor in Psychology from Washington State
University—Go Cougs! I further pursued my passion for health and wellness by earning a Bachelor of
Human Biology, a Master of Sports Science, and a Doctorate in Chiropractic from the University of
Western States.
Throughout my education and career, I have had the privilege of working with athletes across all levels,
from middle school to the professional stage. Gaining experience both on the field and in professional facilities has broadened my approach to treatment, allowing me to adapt to a wide range of injuries and daily movement challenges. This diverse exposure has refined my ability to provide comprehensive care, tailored to the unique demands of each individual. My approach to care is rooted in holistic principles, and I am dedicated to helping others achieve optimal well-being.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I stay active by exploring the outdoors through hiking, engaging in a
variety of sports, and cherishing quality time with my family and pets. Whether on the trails, the field, or
at home, I find joy in movement, adventure, and meaningful connections.
