Early Life and Background
Daniel J. Pompa entered the world on March 15, 1965, in Blackfoot, Idaho. He was the fourth of eight kids in a close-knit Mormon family.
This background built his toughness and sense of community. Those values now guide his approach to family health.
On their family farm, Pompa’s dad provided for everyone and pushed fresh, home-grown food. He made the kids do daily chores to stay strong and fit.
His mom cooked all meals from scratch, skipping junk food. Pompa says this sparked his love for natural, healthy living.
The kids teamed up for farm tasks like picking crops and caring for animals. These built stamina, just like the exercises in his 5R detox plan-which means remove, restore, reactivate, rebuild, and retain for full-body cleanse.
Working together also tightened family ties.
Pompa shared in a 2018 Wellness Magazine chat how farm life shaped him. CDC stats from 2017 back it up-rural spots like Bingham County had 15% fewer long-term illnesses than city areas.
Education and Training
Dr. Pompa studied biology at the University of Utah for his undergrad. There, he sharpened skills in body structure, spine care, chiropractic adjustments, and nutrition basics.
He then got his Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in 1995.
From 1990 to 1995 at Life University, he logged over 4,200 hours of real-world practice. The focus was whole-body health, natural treatments, blending therapies, and nature-based methods for muscle, bone, and overall body issues.
This helped with pain relief and healing injuries fast.
The program, which university statistics indicate achieved a 90% placement rate in chiropractic fields, equipped him with advanced techniques such as applied kinesiology, which he uses to assess and balance hormones.
In 2005, he obtained certifications in functional medicine from the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), enabling him to integrate root-cause diagnostics and biohacking techniques (lifestyle and tech hacks to boost health).
These methods directly enabled Dr. Pompa to address his own adrenal fatigue through nutritional protocols and muscle testing, transforming his personal health challenges into professional expertise.
Personal Health Challenges
In his early 30s, Dr. Pompa battled mercury poisoning, ongoing sickness, and crushing fatigue. This pushed him to ditch standard meds and dive into safe mercury removal and full-body natural detox methods-saving his life!
Illness Diagnosis
In 1998, Dr. Pompa was diagnosed with mercury poisoning from dental amalgams and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, affecting his thyroid health. His symptoms were severe, including a 50-pound weight gain, fibromyalgia-like pain, and cognitive impairment that measured 20% lower than average on memory tests.
Dr. Pompa got misdiagnosed with Lyme disease at first, like many with mercury issues. Blood tests later showed his mercury was 10 times over safe EPA limits.
This case serves as a classic example of how heavy metal toxicity from amalgam fillings can mimic other diseases.
A 2001 study in Environmental Health Perspectives found amalgam fillings cause toxicity in roughly 1 in 10,000 people. It often sparks immune attacks, like Hashimoto’s thyroid issues.
Regular monitoring for warning signs can facilitate earlier diagnoses.
These signs may include
- Chronic fatigue
- Unexplained hair loss
- Brain fog or memory issues
- Joint pain without injury
If these symptoms last after checking for infections, ask for chelation therapy testing right away.
Provoked urine tests give the best measure of toxins in your body. Talk to a functional medicine specialist for help.
Path to Recovery
Dr. Pompa started his recovery in 1999!
He used chelation therapy with DMSA to remove 80% of mercury in six months.
He also followed a keto diet with just 50 grams of carbs daily.
This boosted his energy in 18 months!
To build on this foundation, Dr. Pompa developed a structured recovery plan that incorporated the following actionable steps.
- Get heavy metal testing at Doctor’s Data lab for $300. It spots toxins like mercury, plus parasites, viruses, and bacteria.
- Next, undertake chelation therapy with 20 intravenous sessions using either EDTA or DMSA, supervised by a practitioner to minimize side effects.
- Infrared saunas and salt water flush are recommended three times per week for 45 minutes at 140 degreesF, which aids in detoxification and liver support; this approach is supported by a 2010 study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, which found that a 30-minute sauna session can eliminate 20-30% of certain toxins.
- Try intermittent fasting with a 16:8 plan. Eat only during an eight-hour window each day.
Follow these steps with exercise, good sleep, and stress relief. You’ll drop 50 pounds and fix thyroid issues, as TSH tests show.

For safe saunas at home, drink 16 ounces of water before. Sip electrolyte water after to stay hydrated.
