Our Journey...From Traditional Medicine to Revolutionary Healthcare

The Awakening That Changed Everything

Dr. Aaron Hartman’s path to revolutionary healthcare began with a single moment—the day he and his wife Becky met a 14–month–old girl named Anna.

...Sitting in a Bumbo chair...barely able to hold herself up.
...Wearing tiny glasses that couldn’t fully correct her vision.
...And with her hands curled inward from brain damage sustained at birth...

Anna had been written off by the medical system:

Born blind after being exposed to crystal meth throughout her mother’s pregnancy...

And suffering a stroke before birth...

Doctors delivered a grim prognosis: Anna would never see, walk, or talk.

But in that moment...something shifted in Dr. Hartman.

Despite his medical training...he faced a stark reality: The conventional medical system had no answers for this little girl.

But when the system says “incurable” ... a father says “watch me.”

From Military Medicine to Medical Revolutionary

Before Anna entered his life, Dr. Hartman had followed a traditional path. He served as a Major in the Air Force from 2003–2007, running a clinic in Germany and supervising medical operations at MacDill Air Force Base. His additional training in skin care and nuclear/biological warfare prepared him for threats both common and catastrophic.

But no amount of conventional training prepared him for the battle he would wage for his daughter’s health.

When specialists recommended a feeding tube, invasive surgeries, and a host of pharmaceuticals, Dr. Hartman and his wife chose a different path. They questioned. They researched. And most importantly, they refused to accept limitations as final.

The Transformation Begins

Driven by a father’s determination, Dr. Hartman began waking up at 4 a.m. to research cerebral palsy, brain development, nutritional therapy, and cutting–edge treatments that few doctors were exploring. What started as a desperate search for answers became a profound transformation in his approach to medicine.

In 2012, Dr. Hartman and his wife moved to a small farm outside Richmond, Virginia, where they discovered the profound connections between soil health, food quality, and human wellness. This experience deepened his understanding of nutritional medicine, ecological medicine, and toxicology—elements often overlooked in conventional care.

This journey led him to formalize his commitment to advanced treatment approaches through membership with the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine and the Institute for Functional Medicine. By 2016, he had earned his third board certification in Metabolic, Regenerative, Anti–aging and Functional Medicine.

The Proof Is In The Results

Today, Dr. Hartman has had over 100,000 patient encounters across four continents. He’s participated in more than 70 clinical trials and published in prestigious medical journals.

But his most compelling evidence for functional medicine’s power?

Anna — the daughter who was never supposed to walk or talk...

She reads...texts...sings to her grandparents...

And manage most of her self-care.

At 19 years old...she continues to improve — defying every prediction made about her potential.

A New Vision for Healthcare

In 2017, Dr. Hartman opened Richmond Integrative & Functional Medicine, applying his unique approach to thousands of patients.

But he knew there was still a gap—millions of people struggling with chronic conditions who couldn’t access this type of care.

That’s why he created Connected Health—a revolutionary platform that makes functional medicine accessible to everyone, regardless of location or circumstances.

Built on his proven Triangle of Health™ framework and backed by 25 years of clinical expertise —  Connected Health empowers busy parents to overcome chronic health issues through comprehensive lab testing...personalized guidance...and step-by-step action plans.

The Mission Continues

Dr. Hartman’s mission is clear: to transform healthcare from the ground up by empowering individuals to take control of their health journey.

By combining cutting–edge science with practical and personalized approaches...he’s helping redefine what’s possible in healthcare.

Because if his daughter Anna taught him one thing...it’s this: when we challenge the status quo and refuse to accept limitations...

There’s virtually no limit to your healing.

“If Anna can do it, you can do it too.”
