Upon graduation, he returned to his home state of Florida and began private practice which focused primarily on musculoskeletal issues, sports injuries, and personal injury cases. However, he always longed to be involved in the world of nutrition, herbology, homeopathy, and energy medicine. In 1991, he began working in a medical facility that specialized in intravenous chelation therapy and metabolic medicine, which continued for seven years. In the meantime he was introduced to Dr. D.A. Versendaal, the inventor and teacher of  Contact Reflex Analysis, an analytical technique to determine nutritional deficiencies through the acupuncture meridian system. Dr. Versendaal became one of Dr. Goolsby’s mentors and greatly influenced his training in functional nutritional medicine.

Today Dr. Goolsby continues his private practice in Florida. Along with chiropractic care, he provides patients with information on nutrition, evidenced-based whole food supplements, intermittent fasting, diet, chemical and heavy metal avoidance, and energy medicine to prevent disease and promote healthy lifestyles. Patients continue to seek his consultation from all over the world.
