Jeffrey I. Friedman, D.C. had the privilege of being raised in a "natural health" background. His father, Jack Friedman, regained his health through natural methods after a serious illness and was inspired to participate in what was called in the 1950's "the natural living experiment." The family purchased an abandoned fruit orchard in central California where Mr. Friedman began the restoration of the orchard without chemical sprays. Eventually, the B & J Ranch, as it was called, sold unsprayed and unsulphured dried fruits internationally.

Dr. Friedman attended college at the University of California at Berkeley. After graduation in 1969, he taught Hatha Yoga in Mexico at the Rio Caliente Health Spa where he met the famous nutritionist Paavo Airola. With his own interest in natural health stimulated, he enrolled in Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 1970, graduating in 1975. Dr. Friedman has since been in continuous practice in California since 1976, initially in Los Angeles and, since 1986, in Marin County.
