Dr. Paul M. Bekkum,
DC, CCEP
Thirty-three years of clinical practice in the Fargo–Moorhead community, spent working on the two things most practices treat as unrelated: how a body is built to move, and how a body is built to metabolize.

Three decades in one community.
Integrix Health practices from 22 6th St N in Moorhead, serving patients across Moorhead, Fargo, and West Fargo. Thirty-three years in the same community means something specific: Dr. Bekkum has treated multiple generations of the same families, and has watched the long-term arc of decisions that other clinicians only ever see a single snapshot of.
That longitudinal view is the origin of this practice's shift toward precision longevity. When you see the same patient at 38, at 50, and at 62, the pattern becomes impossible to ignore: the decade in which everything was still “normal” was the decade the outcome was actually decided.
Integrix Health operates as a direct specialty care practice. That structure is deliberate — it is what makes a 90-minute consultation and a six-month sequenced protocol possible in the first place.

Most practices pick one side of the body.
Functional medicine clinics rarely assess how you load and move. Structural clinics rarely assess what is happening at the cellular level. The gap between them is where a large number of stubborn cases live.
Root-Cause Metabolic Precision
3x4 functional genomics, ZRT substrate friction markers, and TruDiagnostic epigenetic assessment, mapped onto the seven IFM physiological nodes and sequenced into a staged, food-first protocol.
- 36-pathway genomic blueprint
- 4-point cortisol rhythm and cardiometabolic friction
- Biological age and pace-of-aging measurement
- Exposome screening on defined trigger criteria
Kinematic Correction
StructureIQ 3D motion analysis and CCEP extremity adjustment — objective assessment of how the body actually loads, and correction of the mechanical faults that keep returning after every course of soft-tissue work.
- 3D motion capture and kinematic reporting
- CCEP extremity assessment and adjustment
- Functional rehabilitation programming
- In-person, Moorhead office
Inflammation and mechanics are the same conversation
A joint that keeps flaring in a patient with hs-CRP above 3.0 is not purely a mechanical problem, and treating it as one guarantees recurrence. A patient with excellent inflammatory markers who still cannot train is not a metabolic case. Reading both together is the entire advantage — and it requires one clinician who is genuinely trained in both, not two who occasionally exchange notes.
“My mission is to liberate patients from the trap of ‘normal’ blood labs and give them an objective, DNA-guided roadmap to compound their health.”
Dr. Paul M. Bekkum, DC, CCEP
In thirty-three years I have watched a great many people be told they were fine while they slowly stopped being fine. Not because anyone was careless — because the instrument being used was never designed to see it. What has changed is that we now have instruments that can, and they are affordable, and they can be run from your kitchen table. There is no longer a good reason to wait for a diagnosis to start.
