And it made, all I did was make me sick.

00:00:01.578 --> 00:00:08.268
So if we can, you know, my whole goal was like, he was born at home, never vaccinated, no circumcision.

00:00:08.598 --> 00:00:10.987
He's never been to a medical doctor because he's never needed to go.

00:00:11.291 --> 00:00:12.752
he wasn't raised with a religion.

00:00:12.752 --> 00:00:17.121
I just said, listen to yourself because God's in all of us telling us, guiding us.

00:00:17.152 --> 00:00:18.492
We're all here for a unique purpose.

00:00:19.327 --> 00:00:20.196
That's the flow.

00:00:20.367 --> 00:00:21.306
That's everything.

00:00:21.489 --> 00:00:23.149
That's why you feel inspiration.

00:00:23.149 --> 00:00:23.679
That's God.

00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:27.219
That's your source flowing through you like, yeah, that's why you're here

00:00:30.823 --> 00:00:39.503
welcome to the new age human podcast, where we have inspiring conversations with spiritual entrepreneurs in the areas of mindfulness, longevity, and innovative technology.

00:00:39.823 --> 00:00:47.883
I'm your host, John Astacio, and I'm on a mission to help humanity discover our human potential so we can together create positive change.

00:00:48.353 --> 00:00:53.262
Remember the journey starts within please like, and subscribe wherever you're listening or watching.

00:00:53.593 --> 00:00:55.573
And with that said, let's get to the show.

00:00:55.597 --> 00:00:57.156
Today's guest is Dr.

00:00:57.156 --> 00:01:10.037
Lynn Carey, a chiropractor and nutritionist who spent 18 years in practice, gaining insights into healing chronic stress caused by a bunch of things, including time, money, passion, you name it.

00:01:10.617 --> 00:01:18.647
Today, we'll share her approach on achieving ultimate well being by creating a desired lifestyle of health, wealth, and self expression.

00:01:18.917 --> 00:01:24.713
And what I also want to get into is what she would say we can do to embrace the power within.

00:01:24.763 --> 00:01:25.774
I want to dive into that.

00:01:25.774 --> 00:01:27.727
But right now, Dr.

00:01:27.727 --> 00:01:29.516
Lynn Carey, thank you for coming on the show.

00:01:29.617 --> 00:01:30.117
Welcome.

00:01:30.766 --> 00:01:31.516
Thank you, John.

00:01:31.527 --> 00:01:32.557
Thank you for having me.

00:01:33.656 --> 00:01:47.027
I'm I actually, uh, I want to know, cause you, you're, you are a chiropractor by trade in the, and I'm not sure if you're, you're practicing that now, but I am actively going to a chiropractor right now because I drive a lot.

00:01:47.027 --> 00:01:49.906
So I'm getting cracked like it's just loud.

00:01:50.266 --> 00:01:55.246
And, um, are you still practicing or is that like past life and you're working on other things now?

00:01:55.406 --> 00:01:56.927
Yeah, I'm working on other things.

00:01:57.197 --> 00:02:01.266
I think I expanded out after being in practice for 18 years.

00:02:01.266 --> 00:02:03.096
It was time for me to try other endeavors.

00:02:03.837 --> 00:02:04.266
Got it.

00:02:04.477 --> 00:02:06.257
And I'm actually curious.

00:02:06.277 --> 00:02:09.727
What, um, what got you into being a chiropractor?

00:02:09.727 --> 00:02:11.556
Why that of all things?

00:02:11.907 --> 00:02:17.676
Yeah, it kind of, I really look at it that it was a divine call because I didn't know what I was getting into.

00:02:17.706 --> 00:02:25.836
I had spinal surgery for scoliosis when I was 15 years old and the surgery itself.

00:02:26.361 --> 00:02:39.762
They said was a success, but it left me sick and in pain for years and then no one could help me They had no answers for me And so by the time I got to college I was just going to college because they told me that's what you do to be successful And I

00:02:39.877 --> 00:02:39.887
hmm.

00:02:39.887 --> 00:02:40.637
Mm

00:02:41.042 --> 00:02:45.442
and someone told me I was just looking into different things Someone said look into chiropractic.

00:02:45.491 --> 00:02:46.442
I didn't know what it was.

00:02:46.542 --> 00:02:54.861
I read the pamphlet And it said the power that made the body heals the body and I thought Why hasn't anyone said this to me?

00:02:55.347 --> 00:03:02.467
And like the last five years of my struggle and this path, and it just, you know, it chiropractic for me.

00:03:02.467 --> 00:03:03.447
It walked two worlds.

00:03:03.456 --> 00:03:12.676
It was very, it was mainstream enough where it looked like it was a legit degree career, you know, but then it had this other thing that I didn't know about.

00:03:12.717 --> 00:03:13.576
That's what called me.

00:03:13.637 --> 00:03:14.306
And I didn't know.

00:03:14.306 --> 00:03:16.217
And I just went, I just went to chiropractic school.

00:03:16.217 --> 00:03:22.067
I didn't even get adjusted until I got there, but I got there and it was the beginning of changing my whole world.

00:03:23.227 --> 00:03:24.106
Interesting.

00:03:24.516 --> 00:03:28.477
And, so, it's interesting how, like, I agree, right?

00:03:28.526 --> 00:03:36.026
You store things in your body and, um, It's almost like we get messed up by our life experiences.

00:03:36.026 --> 00:03:49.236
And that's what you were dealing with at a young age, and I'm, I'm sure everybody wants to know like, what were you dealing with at such a young age that made your back just go haywire?

00:03:49.826 --> 00:03:50.667
What was that journey?

00:03:51.046 --> 00:03:52.706
I love that you went right into the.

00:03:53.326 --> 00:03:56.097
I feel like that's the part that I was missing for people.

00:03:56.116 --> 00:03:58.866
They didn't understand it's what's going on in your life that

00:03:59.106 --> 00:03:59.317
Mm-Hmm.

00:03:59.486 --> 00:04:12.537
the symptom, you know, and I had, you know, in chiropractic school when I'm learning like the, the protocols or the things that could have caused scoliosis, I had them all, but there was a big emotional component.

00:04:12.706 --> 00:04:18.966
Like I questioned everything in life when I was younger, just, I watched my family just work all the time.

00:04:19.416 --> 00:04:20.497
There still wasn't enough.

00:04:20.922 --> 00:04:22.192
Nobody looked happy.

00:04:22.521 --> 00:04:24.281
There wasn't any fun going on.

00:04:24.862 --> 00:04:26.672
And I thought, why are we doing this?

00:04:27.101 --> 00:04:28.692
Like, what's the purpose of all this?

00:04:28.692 --> 00:04:29.632
There's got to be more to life.

00:04:29.932 --> 00:04:32.221
Cause if this is it, I don't want to be here.

00:04:32.521 --> 00:04:34.401
I remember thinking that very strongly.

00:04:35.281 --> 00:04:38.012
Um, and then my father died when I was 12.

00:04:38.581 --> 00:04:43.882
I really believe that, you know, it was cancer, what they label as cancer, but he died of broken dreams.

00:04:44.411 --> 00:04:48.401
He failed entrepreneur in his entrepreneurial endeavors for many times.

00:04:49.211 --> 00:04:50.382
But at five, I don't know that.

00:04:50.422 --> 00:04:56.302
I just remember him, you know, you remember the tension of him losing everything and then his energy was just gone.

00:04:56.382 --> 00:04:57.791
And then by the time I was 12, he died.

00:04:58.641 --> 00:05:02.112
And I just, it just things didn't make sense.

00:05:02.141 --> 00:05:06.262
Like what my mom would tell me and what I thought pulled me in two different directions.

00:05:06.422 --> 00:05:11.262
And that's kind of one of the things with scoliosis, you're pulled in two different directions.

00:05:12.281 --> 00:05:14.322
Um, there was another thing.

00:05:14.322 --> 00:05:15.182
I had braces.

00:05:15.182 --> 00:05:15.422
Okay.

00:05:15.447 --> 00:05:17.206
Um, from sixth to eighth grade.

00:05:17.396 --> 00:05:19.627
And then I had my father die in the middle of that.

00:05:19.916 --> 00:05:28.887
And they say if you have like a traumatic event and you're going through this where they're You know, they put braces on everybody today but you know what they, that like messes your growth up.

00:05:29.406 --> 00:05:36.172
Like you're, it's restricting all this area in your, in your face, in your mouth, jaw, your It affects everything.

00:05:36.182 --> 00:05:36.541
And

00:05:36.742 --> 00:05:39.497
you have like a big thing out around your face or

00:05:39.692 --> 00:05:42.961
had, well, I had the braces for two years, but then they made me sleep.

00:05:43.012 --> 00:05:44.882
I would sleep in that headgear as well.

00:05:45.387 --> 00:05:45.836
Oh.

00:05:46.442 --> 00:05:46.562
Yeah.

00:05:47.091 --> 00:05:47.882
It was awful.

00:05:48.151 --> 00:05:53.482
And then I went right into, after my father died, um, I went into scoliosis, but they braced me.

00:05:54.021 --> 00:05:56.201
They wanted to put that race on me.

00:05:56.252 --> 00:06:00.322
I mean, I wore it for almost two years and it's as hard as a brick wall.

00:06:00.341 --> 00:06:02.961
It goes from your armpit armpits to your pelvis.

00:06:03.632 --> 00:06:04.891
And that's like high school.

00:06:05.101 --> 00:06:06.151
it was high school, right?

00:06:06.151 --> 00:06:07.172
I was just starting school.

00:06:07.172 --> 00:06:08.591
You know, that's already awkward anyway.

00:06:08.641 --> 00:06:09.002
Right.

00:06:09.132 --> 00:06:09.581
yeah.

00:06:10.221 --> 00:06:11.521
So you're going through all this stuff.

00:06:11.612 --> 00:06:16.471
So I just, that's why, I mean, my family only followed what the medical world did.

00:06:16.541 --> 00:06:20.182
So I was getting different opinions, but they were all orthopedic guys.

00:06:20.682 --> 00:06:22.701
Of course, that was a perfect candidate for their surgery.

00:06:22.701 --> 00:06:23.482
That's all they knew.

00:06:24.242 --> 00:06:24.661
Hmm.

00:06:24.752 --> 00:06:27.732
So if I knew what I knew today, I would have never had that done.

00:06:27.771 --> 00:06:30.831
But do you know, there's, they're still doing that surgery today.

00:06:32.172 --> 00:06:33.572
It's so crazy to me.

00:06:34.451 --> 00:06:37.492
There's such a disconnect in our healing worlds, you

00:06:37.672 --> 00:06:41.422
they, so they they, they did surgery on your, on your back.

00:06:41.552 --> 00:06:42.351
Yeah, on my spine.

00:06:42.922 --> 00:07:01.791
So they actually, um, took pieces off of my spine, the spinal processes, and they even shaved bone from my pelvis, because they took all those bone chips and they put Harrington rods, metal rods in my spine, then they put the bone chips on top because they wanted to fuse my spine from getting worse.

00:07:03.221 --> 00:07:09.612
I was lucky in the sense that a year and a half later, my orthopedic guy took the rods out.

00:07:09.672 --> 00:07:13.591
And I believe it's because I had, uh, pain already.

00:07:14.351 --> 00:07:14.961
You know, the pain.

00:07:15.012 --> 00:07:17.802
And he was saying, Oh, well, you're kind of a thin bone person.

00:07:17.802 --> 00:07:18.961
You might feel the rods.

00:07:18.961 --> 00:07:20.112
It's probably better to take them out.

00:07:20.651 --> 00:07:27.492
I didn't want to go through more surgery and take them out, but I'm really glad today that he took them out because,

00:07:27.961 --> 00:07:28.331
wow.

00:07:28.461 --> 00:07:31.932
you know, I can't imagine having rods in your spine your whole life.

00:07:32.581 --> 00:07:36.072
And your spine fusing, especially what I've learned as a chiropractor.

00:07:36.122 --> 00:07:38.141
It just is crazy.

00:07:39.622 --> 00:07:43.091
And it's, and you, and it's funny, we jumped right into it.

00:07:43.451 --> 00:08:07.982
Um, It's interesting how a lot of your, like, like you said, right, a lot of people don't think about the impact of your personal experiences, your emotion, your stress, and how that physically impacts you on a deep level in your, like, your, your spine reacts to you emotionally and I can see on the surface.

00:08:07.982 --> 00:08:08.422
Yeah, like.

00:08:08.692 --> 00:08:22.622
People slouch because they're feeling a certain way your chest out when you're more confident, and then when you work out, you're more tight and things are better aligned and and that changes you mentally too.

00:08:22.622 --> 00:08:27.141
So it's like your mind and your body is having this back and forth communication.

00:08:27.572 --> 00:08:38.522
Um, and then you had your surgery and I can only imagine for other people how that's just it doesn't change from there.

00:08:38.522 --> 00:08:39.642
Like the body can't.

00:08:40.006 --> 00:08:44.206
adjust itself back after you, you know, help them out.

00:08:44.246 --> 00:08:56.626
And like, and I'm also like happy for you that you were able to kind of like get rid of that BS that, that, they put you through as far as physically having those rods.

00:08:57.126 --> 00:08:59.897
Um, like, do you, like, do they fill those in?

00:08:59.996 --> 00:09:01.366
Do you have like holes and stuff?

00:09:01.366 --> 00:09:02.297
Like, how does that work?

00:09:03.091 --> 00:09:04.042
You know, I, I don't know.

00:09:04.042 --> 00:09:04.772
They took him out.

00:09:04.841 --> 00:09:12.162
Um, I had my back and my spine feels weird if you touch it, but I get adjusted like normal and I function like normal.

00:09:12.841 --> 00:09:23.302
Um, I don't, it's weird because I'm like, oh yeah, I have the scoliosis because it feels like as far as I've come from then, that was almost 30 years ago.

00:09:23.971 --> 00:09:31.341
I, I feel like a different person, but I'm so grateful for what that going through that challenge.

00:09:32.162 --> 00:09:33.991
I'm so free now with health.

00:09:34.042 --> 00:09:38.481
I don't have any fear of health problems today.

00:09:38.831 --> 00:09:43.261
And that's what I, that's what I would wish on anyone.

00:09:43.351 --> 00:09:51.192
If you could really own your body and be as comfortable in your body, the way I am, it's such a gift because I see so many people.

00:09:52.246 --> 00:09:58.236
live in fear of disease, live in fear of trying to, and then they go to the other extreme, which is part of the process.

00:09:58.616 --> 00:10:07.576
I'm not making it wrong, but then they go into the extreme of trying to eat a certain way, trying to exercise a certain way, trying to be a certain way because they got to create health.

00:10:07.626 --> 00:10:09.966
And, and that's just as stressful.

00:10:10.187 --> 00:10:17.506
Sometimes there's that sweet spot when you surpass that, you know, that you know that your body's doing what it has to do and you're free.

00:10:18.802 --> 00:10:28.081
It's interesting, it's interesting how you say that because you have people that are like the health nuts, but driven by fear.

00:10:28.731 --> 00:10:38.091
And, um, I want to go into that because it's almost like that placebo effect, but in reverse when you're living in fear.

00:10:38.591 --> 00:10:50.892
And I think that's where you're getting to, maybe you, you want to highlight like maybe personal examples of people, you know, that might have gone through that, where maybe it was like a reverse placebo effects and how that affects the body.

00:10:52.091 --> 00:10:54.111
Can I tell you, I see it, I see it with everybody.

00:10:54.111 --> 00:10:58.042
I can tell when someone talks to me where they're at with their health and what they're creating for themselves.

00:10:58.792 --> 00:11:00.101
I can't change that for them.

00:11:00.101 --> 00:11:01.402
They have to come to that awareness.

00:11:01.481 --> 00:11:04.961
I can give them insight, but I can tell you my own personal.

00:11:05.211 --> 00:11:07.912
I'll tell you where the turning point was in chiropractic school.

00:11:08.522 --> 00:11:09.591
I started getting adjusted.

00:11:09.601 --> 00:11:10.581
The pain got worse.

00:11:11.076 --> 00:11:16.157
Because, but they explained it to me, the body has to heal, right?

00:11:16.177 --> 00:11:29.636
So you're waking, as I, I was getting adjusted, it's waking up all that stuff, scar tissue, trauma, besides all the emotions that were there before that were layered upon from the unnecessary surgery.

00:11:29.636 --> 00:11:37.126
But you know, um, so you go through this process, like it took you years to get into this place, it might take years to untangle.

00:11:37.557 --> 00:11:39.427
So that put me at ease.

00:11:39.956 --> 00:11:44.486
But then I was in school and I'm learning different, a different way.

00:11:44.517 --> 00:11:48.236
I'm, I'm learning that there's an inner wisdom that runs the body called a life force.

00:11:48.246 --> 00:11:54.586
That's always working as we're sitting here, all our organs are working and we're not consciously controlling it.

00:11:54.586 --> 00:12:02.267
Can you imagine if we had to control all our organs with our mind as we have a conversation and try to eat and go on about our day, we couldn't do it.

00:12:02.807 --> 00:12:03.557
We couldn't do it.

00:12:03.616 --> 00:12:08.067
Why are we labeling symptoms as bad when your body knows what it's doing all day long?

00:12:08.807 --> 00:12:20.876
All of a sudden you have a symptom, and we want to label it as sick, bad, we got to try to fix it, we want to pop a pill, we want to, instead of saying, hey, why don't we just listen to what the body's trying to tell us?

00:12:20.886 --> 00:12:23.486
So that was a whole new way of looking at something.

00:12:23.826 --> 00:12:35.277
And then I had to learn, because we had to become a doctor in chiropractic school, we had to learn what the medical people did to pass all the board exams that had nothing to do with chiropractic, in my opinion.

00:12:36.447 --> 00:12:43.167
But I had to learn like the medical terminology and I realized, I'm like, hey, they don't learn healing.

00:12:43.616 --> 00:12:45.206
They don't really learn the body.

00:12:45.226 --> 00:12:49.366
They learn, they want to know what all your symptoms are so they can label it.

00:12:49.851 --> 00:12:59.652
With some disease name, which is usually, it was simple until they put this big gigantic, like, big terminology name on it, right?

00:13:00.951 --> 00:13:03.642
That now people don't know what it is, so that instills fear.

00:13:04.052 --> 00:13:06.851
So all they know how to do is either cut it out or drug it.

00:13:07.361 --> 00:13:09.591
Because big pharma's backing all that.

00:13:10.231 --> 00:13:12.511
And I thought, oh, they don't know.

00:13:12.511 --> 00:13:16.601
So I already had the experience that they didn't know because of going through it.

00:13:16.601 --> 00:13:18.331
I kept asking, why do I keep getting sick?

00:13:19.292 --> 00:13:30.861
And they would say, let me write a stronger prescription, whether it was a painkiller, whether it was an antibiotic for strep throat or whatever, I got everything, I got chicken pox, headaches, you know, colds that wouldn't go away.

00:13:31.751 --> 00:13:33.331
And I thought, this is crazy.

00:13:33.761 --> 00:13:34.912
And so it just connected.

00:13:34.912 --> 00:13:36.851
What happened was I lost the fear.

00:13:37.611 --> 00:13:41.022
I lost the fear that I couldn't get better.

00:13:41.572 --> 00:13:47.451
You know, I knew that I could get better and I started owning becoming my own best doctor.

00:13:47.522 --> 00:13:52.562
You see, because that illusion of somebody else knowing better than you, they didn't.

00:13:53.851 --> 00:13:54.822
And so it was my journey.

00:13:54.822 --> 00:13:57.692
And it was a couple of years, probably until I got out of the pain crisis.

00:13:58.991 --> 00:14:01.221
Then I started implementing.

00:14:01.221 --> 00:14:02.981
Well, why did I get the headache today?

00:14:02.991 --> 00:14:04.172
What was I stressed about?

00:14:05.001 --> 00:14:07.241
Why did my lower back kind of go out?

00:14:07.322 --> 00:14:11.542
Oh, um, it might've been my relationship or, or money stress.

00:14:12.221 --> 00:14:16.302
You see, I started connecting the emotions behind what was my current symptom.

00:14:17.091 --> 00:14:20.772
And I realized that's all people have to do is understand their energy flow.

00:14:21.091 --> 00:14:22.371
You understand your energy flow.

00:14:22.371 --> 00:14:23.241
You master the body.

00:14:23.442 --> 00:14:23.851
That's it.

00:14:24.986 --> 00:14:30.317
Is it similar for every person or does every person kind of like have a different energy flow?

00:14:31.831 --> 00:14:35.822
I would say the energy flow is unique to each person, but we all have an energy flow.

00:14:35.831 --> 00:14:36.861
We all have a life force.

00:14:36.881 --> 00:14:40.631
So it's either are you allowing it at a hundred percent or are you dimming it?

00:14:41.501 --> 00:14:46.741
And you can tell by how stressed you are during the day or how joyful are you.

00:14:47.361 --> 00:14:48.142
That's the key.

00:14:48.586 --> 00:14:54.726
And that's why it's key to be joyful in your life, to have purpose, to follow your dreams.

00:14:55.096 --> 00:15:05.856
You know, we were, we're taught, I think, I think it's shifting now, but I know I grew up thinking you got to just work hard, struggle, suffer.

00:15:05.856 --> 00:15:06.667
It doesn't matter.

00:15:06.756 --> 00:15:08.417
Happiness wasn't even questioned.

00:15:09.552 --> 00:15:11.672
But I'm realizing happiness is the key to help.

00:15:12.692 --> 00:15:13.422
It's important.

00:15:13.432 --> 00:15:14.402
Our dreams are important.

00:15:14.432 --> 00:15:17.461
That's why we're here to live our dreams.

00:15:17.721 --> 00:15:24.572
So if you're not living what you came here for, eventually you're going to have dis ease in your body because you're blocking the flow.

00:15:25.846 --> 00:15:26.716
You're out of ease.

00:15:26.767 --> 00:15:27.376
Yeah.

00:15:27.437 --> 00:15:27.876
Yeah.

00:15:28.147 --> 00:15:28.736
I love that.

00:15:29.256 --> 00:15:33.657
And let's say you go get adjusted.

00:15:35.256 --> 00:15:43.346
And I picked up that what I picked up on what you said, where you go get adjusted and then certain things get released, right?

00:15:43.346 --> 00:15:46.807
Because your body is trying to, let's say, maintain the flow.

00:15:47.197 --> 00:16:06.182
And then now it's like, You opened up the floodgates and some people might get emotional, but what's going on there where when, cause I'm going through it right now, as far as going to the chiropractor and you get adjusted and then now you're uncomfortable and they give you ice.

00:16:06.861 --> 00:16:11.932
And it's almost like you're slowly going back to where you were before you came.

00:16:11.932 --> 00:16:15.022
And it's like, they're battling what your body's trying to do.

00:16:15.721 --> 00:16:17.981
Um, is that what's going on?

00:16:18.032 --> 00:16:21.552
Is it like, like, and then in that case.

00:16:22.511 --> 00:16:25.142
What can someone be mindful of when they're getting adjusted?

00:16:25.211 --> 00:16:27.542
I'm, like, literally talking about myself and other people

00:16:27.672 --> 00:16:28.152
Yeah.

00:16:28.432 --> 00:16:31.451
So I think you have to look at getting adjusted as a tool.

00:16:31.772 --> 00:16:37.442
It's a tool to give you permission to go back, to get in tune with your body.

00:16:37.701 --> 00:16:39.182
Cause I think we're so disconnected.

00:16:40.381 --> 00:16:42.302
A lot of us from what's going on with our body.

00:16:42.331 --> 00:16:47.951
The body work is a way to get readjusted to the energy so you can understand your flow.

00:16:48.211 --> 00:16:50.772
So when you get adjusted, it breaks up the restriction.

00:16:52.011 --> 00:16:57.172
Now are you going to allow it to be clear or is it going to go back to being restricted?

00:16:57.172 --> 00:17:00.741
Like, how are you allowing the body to do what it has to do?

00:17:01.062 --> 00:17:02.532
So you don't judge it as good or bad.

00:17:02.532 --> 00:17:04.041
I mean, don't even try to get rid of the pain.

00:17:04.051 --> 00:17:04.791
Like just say, okay.

00:17:05.307 --> 00:17:06.116
Maybe I need to rest.

00:17:06.176 --> 00:17:07.227
Maybe I need to slow down.

00:17:07.237 --> 00:17:10.086
Maybe it's not about getting rid of it, but being with it.

00:17:10.666 --> 00:17:21.186
And that's, a lot of us are carrying around stuff, whether it's trauma, whether it's emotional garbage from our childhood, old belief systems, they're going to come to the surface.

00:17:21.186 --> 00:17:21.817
It's the darkness.

00:17:21.817 --> 00:17:36.926
A lot of people, that's why we keep ourselves so busy because nobody wants to feel, but it's important to allow that darkness, what we label as darkness or negative or that old stuff to come up, because if you can just be with it without being afraid of it, it'll, it'll go away.

00:17:37.467 --> 00:17:47.696
It'll release so the adjustment is really in just till you get in tune with your body It's great to get adjusted or a massage or any body work But you're the one doing the work.

00:17:47.916 --> 00:18:00.477
You have to really start being in tune with What are you feeling and allowing it and and then move that be able to incorporate that into your day to day Like when are you closing down?

00:18:00.487 --> 00:18:01.656
When are you staying open?

00:18:01.717 --> 00:18:06.106
What's What's your flow moment to moment breath by breath, right?

00:18:06.186 --> 00:18:13.761
You become aware You Until you're able to live in this higher vibrational state where if you drop out of it, it's weird.

00:18:13.872 --> 00:18:20.711
You're like, oh, but you notice it before you get to the place where it's Your body's hurting your butt.

00:18:20.731 --> 00:18:21.592
You know what i'm saying,

00:18:22.011 --> 00:18:22.541
Mm hmm.

00:18:22.622 --> 00:18:24.372
It's almost like it's forcing you to be present.

00:18:24.642 --> 00:18:24.971
right?

00:18:24.971 --> 00:18:27.481
Yeah,

00:18:28.392 --> 00:18:34.342
start, you know, creating bubbles in your spine so you don't, so you don't get a crack, you know?

00:18:34.692 --> 00:18:36.201
Do you recommend, like, doing journals?

00:18:36.241 --> 00:18:37.491
Like, you're like, oh, you know what?

00:18:37.501 --> 00:18:38.741
My back is bothering me.

00:18:38.741 --> 00:18:40.192
Okay, well, what was happening right now?

00:18:40.201 --> 00:18:40.892
What happened right now?

00:18:40.902 --> 00:18:43.451
Like, is it one of those things where, like, let me just stop what I'm doing?

00:18:45.442 --> 00:18:54.201
I journaling is like one of the key things that I tell people especially if you want to get in tune with any area of life, whether it's your body

00:18:54.342 --> 00:18:54.811
hmm, mm

00:18:54.902 --> 00:19:12.031
your money your relationships your your mindset because You really have to focus on your body is just an indicator of what's out of balance in your life You know so If you journal like what do I want my life to look like?

00:19:12.932 --> 00:19:23.372
And be honest like write out your biggest dreams if you don't know yet Then I sometimes will say they don't know I think it's because they don't either want to face it yet Or they don't think it could happen.

00:19:23.432 --> 00:19:26.521
It's too good to be true But i'm saying to write it down.

00:19:26.531 --> 00:19:56.196
Anyway, even if you think it can't happen or you're afraid Because You don't understand how it could unfold for you If you don't if you ignore that inkling inside it comes out as disease in your body That's what cancer is people are angry people walking around angry in their life besides the toxins and all that You know that we're living in with the air and the food But that's my I really believe that's minor compared to our mindset and how we feel and how happy we are in our life because that Once you get to that state it it surpasses everything

00:19:57.967 --> 00:20:00.876
It's interesting how you brought that up where it's a lot.

00:20:01.511 --> 00:20:15.031
More having to do like there's more impact on your how you're feeling and you're, you're, you're in your body versus the physical things that are being that your body's being exposed to.

00:20:15.261 --> 00:20:25.862
And it reminds me of those people were, you know, they live to like 90 plus there are smoker, you know, they had a, you know, Basic diet, but they're just happy as F.

00:20:25.902 --> 00:20:52.416
Like they're like just chill life is life They're just you know hang out and then you have the person that is like the biohacker the this the that and they're and it's just like one Project after the other that they're looking to tackle and yes, they're doing good But like it's it's like you're you're you're running away from something And all you're doing is getting really good at running.

00:20:54.267 --> 00:21:01.366
And I'm not turning, I'm not putting down any biohackers because there's a lot of really good things that you're learning about yourself that, that.

00:21:01.761 --> 00:21:09.942
You can do on a physical level and on an energetic level, but it's it's like you like you said it at the end of the day How are you feeling about that experience?

00:21:09.942 --> 00:21:11.442
How are you feeling about that journey?

00:21:12.372 --> 00:21:27.372
And you know moving the needle forward and I mentioned journaling and Which is you're like, that's huge Are there other things that you suggest or that you have people do to help with their let's say self healing journey

00:21:28.047 --> 00:21:35.507
Yeah, the other part of the journaling that's huge, too, that's very self healing, is to start writing lists of gratitude,

00:21:36.211 --> 00:21:36.741
Mm hmm.

00:21:36.767 --> 00:21:40.527
or things that you appreciate, or even lists of things that inspire you.

00:21:40.856 --> 00:21:50.757
Simple as you saw a sunset, or you saw a cute dog, or a bird, or, you know, those, I mean, what we could consider insignificant are significant.

00:21:51.366 --> 00:22:16.946
Because you start to train yourself to look for the beauty around you all day long because I think we're Programmed to look for problems to overcome Where if we can embrace the beauty that's all around us We start to attract more and more of that and the universe just keeps feeding you what you focus on So even if you have a challenge, it's not a it doesn't become a struggle or a pain or it becomes An awakening an empowerment.

00:22:17.386 --> 00:22:18.757
It's it's the game of life.

00:22:18.767 --> 00:22:19.457
It's fun.

00:22:19.487 --> 00:22:42.497
It becomes fun Even if you're hitting like a roadblock, you know to step back and wait for an answer to come The right podcast shows up the right book shows up the right person with a message, you know You start it becomes like a puzzle you're putting together and it becomes exciting It becomes inspiration and passion and you feel more peaceful In your day because you're not trying to overcome things all day long.

00:22:42.507 --> 00:22:53.527
So I think the gratitude list You Appreciation list and anything you're feeling any any spark of inspiration that or ideas or what you're trying to figure out But it's great to put pen to paper.

00:22:53.586 --> 00:22:54.366
I think it's amazing

00:22:56.041 --> 00:22:59.521
And it's, um, when it comes to pen to paper, right?

00:23:00.422 --> 00:23:06.942
It's physical and there's like a vibration that happens when you have the pen on the paper.

00:23:07.281 --> 00:23:14.922
And it's, um, and I think about them, like, how am I feeling versus writing with a pen versus a pencil?

00:23:14.951 --> 00:23:17.082
And there's some pens that are more Yeah.

00:23:17.082 --> 00:23:17.092
Yeah.

00:23:17.372 --> 00:23:19.122
Frustrating to use.

00:23:20.622 --> 00:23:21.692
And I have like those pens.

00:23:21.692 --> 00:23:25.811
I'm like trash and the cheapest pen glides.

00:23:25.821 --> 00:23:26.902
So nice.

00:23:28.092 --> 00:23:34.432
What are your thoughts on physical journaling versus virtual journeying?

00:23:34.461 --> 00:23:40.852
I do, I honestly do a lot of virtual journey just because of convenience, but I'm curious about your thoughts.

00:23:40.852 --> 00:23:42.132
And

00:23:42.136 --> 00:23:43.666
I love i'm old school.

00:23:44.007 --> 00:23:45.326
I grew up without the internet.

00:23:45.346 --> 00:24:02.622
So I love pen to paper I'm, definitely not a techie as you know for us just getting on this Um, the pen, I actually learned to that trauma survivors, people who have endured great trauma who've had like a lot of, um, emotional or mental abuse.

00:24:03.231 --> 00:24:07.152
They can clear a lot of it from writing things out pen to paper.

00:24:07.162 --> 00:24:07.991
I didn't realize that.

00:24:08.021 --> 00:24:09.912
I feel very healed when I write.

00:24:10.051 --> 00:24:10.811
I've always journaled.

00:24:11.682 --> 00:24:16.122
Um, so that there is actually fact base that it is a very healing.

00:24:16.122 --> 00:24:20.662
It helps rewire your brain when you're actually writing with a pen or a pencil on paper.

00:24:23.751 --> 00:24:24.882
nature of it as well.

00:24:25.307 --> 00:24:25.777
Right.

00:24:25.902 --> 00:24:26.221
Yep.

00:24:26.221 --> 00:24:26.362
All

00:24:26.977 --> 00:24:27.477
Huh.

00:24:28.886 --> 00:24:44.886
Um, I like how you also highlighted appreciation and I'm not sure if you've seen it, but me coming from more of a tech background, I like to see visuals and like, all right, so like when you plug someone into a computer, like, what do you see that I can kind of like bridge the gap between science and spirit.

00:24:45.636 --> 00:24:51.366
And I'm not sure if you saw this, but you have like the energetic signals of the body with.

00:24:52.182 --> 00:25:09.592
their associations with the words and the whether it's anger happiness love all all the good ones all the bad ones and Appreciation made someone light up the most which was really cool.

00:25:10.892 --> 00:25:12.221
Would you be surprised by that?

00:25:12.257 --> 00:25:12.817
Not at all.

00:25:13.576 --> 00:25:14.267
Not at all.

00:25:14.856 --> 00:25:18.247
You just have to get so in tune with even how something sounds.

00:25:19.037 --> 00:25:21.366
Like, I don't know how people watch the news.

00:25:21.807 --> 00:25:35.106
As soon as I have it on by default, or I was getting my car worked on, and they had the mainstream news on, and I could just feel the vibration of it, and I was like, oh, like it's so, it's like harsh.

00:25:35.267 --> 00:25:41.067
You know, I'm very selective of what I watch, what I'm around, um, how something feels.

00:25:41.632 --> 00:25:45.211
What I say, you know, like I don't ever say anymore.

00:25:45.511 --> 00:25:46.362
It's normal for me.

00:25:46.362 --> 00:25:52.251
It's weird when I hear somebody talking and they say I'm sick or, you know, it's just harsh to me.

00:25:52.251 --> 00:25:54.551
I'm like, you're not really sick.

00:25:54.692 --> 00:25:55.731
How can you use that word?

00:25:55.741 --> 00:25:58.182
You know, like I would never call people in my office.

00:25:58.432 --> 00:25:59.612
I call them people in my office.

00:25:59.612 --> 00:26:01.061
I never called them patients.

00:26:01.612 --> 00:26:02.701
I hated that term.

00:26:02.761 --> 00:26:03.612
They're not sick.

00:26:04.751 --> 00:26:06.071
I always spoke to some wellness.

00:26:06.112 --> 00:26:09.092
I couldn't go there because it just wasn't how I healed.

00:26:09.422 --> 00:26:13.061
It wasn't what my body experienced and my mind didn't work that way.

00:26:13.092 --> 00:26:15.511
So I think words are key.

00:26:15.531 --> 00:26:27.082
I mean, the more you start to tap into being aware moment to moment, you might not notice certain things because we have certain things that we consider normal.

00:26:27.082 --> 00:26:28.332
That could be pretty negative, right?

00:26:28.692 --> 00:26:31.571
But the more you peel back layers, you get to that place.

00:26:31.571 --> 00:26:32.771
You're like, Oh, I just said that.

00:26:33.922 --> 00:26:35.241
Let me, how can I reword that?

00:26:35.251 --> 00:26:36.872
How can I have a new perspective on that?

00:26:37.422 --> 00:26:40.092
Because we're creating our reality with our words, our perspectives,

00:26:40.092 --> 00:26:41.192
Mm hmm.

00:26:41.261 --> 00:26:41.791
thoughts.

00:26:41.801 --> 00:26:44.912
So you start to really fine tune in all areas.

00:26:44.922 --> 00:26:48.471
You can't compartmentalize anything because you realize it's one big picture.

00:26:48.821 --> 00:26:49.652
It's a flow.

00:26:50.051 --> 00:26:55.261
Your body's flowing and can you flow it everywhere in and out, in and out, even with everything in your life.

00:26:57.372 --> 00:27:03.922
I like how you, you mentioned, um, that it's just so toxic, right?

00:27:03.991 --> 00:27:14.162
Just mainstream news and, uh, a lot of the tactic of getting your attention is what I would call fear porn, right?

00:27:14.942 --> 00:27:23.942
And, uh, it's, it's, they're speaking to the very animalistic part of you that feels the need to survive.

00:27:25.061 --> 00:27:38.777
How do you manage or juggle The need to be current in the world and still maintain sanity and not fall into fear porn.

00:27:40.061 --> 00:27:46.021
I guess I find little things that I check out on social media to get my updates on current events.

00:27:46.741 --> 00:28:00.791
And I can, I, I Let's say, I can't say it doesn't always affect me, but I've learned to be intentional about just being aware of what, you know, I find some few sources that I feel are credible.

00:28:01.751 --> 00:28:03.951
And I'm just aware of the information.

00:28:04.001 --> 00:28:04.811
Just take it in.

00:28:04.811 --> 00:28:06.112
It may or may not be true.

00:28:06.332 --> 00:28:11.942
Let me just take it in and kind of store it away for if I need it later to paint a bigger picture.

00:28:12.582 --> 00:28:15.342
So what anybody says, you don't know it's really factual,

00:28:15.846 --> 00:28:16.346
Mm hmm.

00:28:16.692 --> 00:28:18.771
it in and how it resonates.

00:28:19.592 --> 00:28:21.501
And you may need more information before you find it.

00:28:21.926 --> 00:28:39.166
I'm going to create a bigger picture, but it's critical thinking, you know, and I think that's how I just gauge it for myself, but I'm not on there long, you know, I just check messages real quick, or I scroll a little bit, but I've never been one of those people who loses time on social media where they're just scrolling and scrolling.

00:28:39.166 --> 00:28:41.317
I've never, because nothing interests me that long on there.

00:28:42.551 --> 00:28:43.652
I'm like, what are you looking at?

00:28:43.872 --> 00:28:44.942
Like I can't, I don't know.

00:28:44.942 --> 00:28:56.382
I've always been more about, I'd rather listen to a podcast about spirituality or law of attraction or a channel, you know, he's something that makes me feel good, you know, or I'd rather be sitting in nature.

00:28:56.382 --> 00:28:58.751
I love reading, taking walks.

00:28:58.761 --> 00:29:02.192
So I don't, and then I just do what I have to do.

00:29:02.211 --> 00:29:04.852
Also with the busyness, I don't stay busy all day long.

00:29:05.872 --> 00:29:11.402
I used to, but now I realized that creates dis ease in my life, in my body.

00:29:12.416 --> 00:29:21.126
It's now as soon as I feel off I stop whether I need a moment to regroup take a few breaths Maybe have a cup of coffee.

00:29:21.196 --> 00:29:27.446
That's my zen moment to just sit with my coffee and really be present Um, so now I look for now.

00:29:27.446 --> 00:29:35.207
I realize i'm more productive By how how much flow and joy were in my day?

00:29:35.896 --> 00:29:41.217
How many things that I go with today or how many things that I get triggered by today?

00:29:42.207 --> 00:29:43.487
That's my gauge now

00:29:44.626 --> 00:29:45.136
Mm.

00:29:47.696 --> 00:29:47.707
Mm.

00:29:49.011 --> 00:30:01.102
I do see like how important it is for you to be that level of self aware when juggling life's challenges, life's ups and downs.

00:30:01.672 --> 00:30:17.741
And for you, it seems as you got, and correct me if I'm wrong, as you got more aware of how your body is affected by your thoughts and feelings and that whole dynamic, it's easier to.

00:30:18.136 --> 00:30:24.856
Give it more energy and to protect that flow of the body, that communication.

00:30:25.517 --> 00:30:34.787
And it's almost like you're telling yourself, well, you know, we know what going down that path looks like and it will literally break your back.

00:30:35.467 --> 00:30:35.567
Lovely

00:30:36.777 --> 00:30:37.366
Literally.

00:30:38.176 --> 00:30:42.446
Um, we haven't really touched into the nutrition side of your background.

00:30:43.076 --> 00:30:48.287
Do you like how, what percentage of your work when you're working with people involves nutrition?

00:30:48.287 --> 00:30:48.727
I'm curious.

00:30:50.346 --> 00:30:51.737
So there is an aspect of it.

00:30:52.186 --> 00:30:55.416
Uh, I'll show you, I'll tell you the background of, of my nutrition too.

00:30:55.696 --> 00:31:03.797
So in chiropractic school, we were able to get our bachelors in nutrition alongside of our chiropractic degree because a lot of the classes overlapped.

00:31:04.416 --> 00:31:05.997
So I did my degree at the same time,

00:31:06.036 --> 00:31:06.612
