There are so many chiropractors who have a similar story as Dr. Kappe. These doctors had a personal experience of injury and pain, and after using traditional medicine with little success, there was still a need to use a holistic approach to treat pain.  Dr. Bryan Kappe of Oakland, California has a similar story. He had prescriptions for pain medicine and physical therapy that did not resolve his debilitating nerve pain from his lower back to his foot. That experience sent him on a journey to learn how he could help himself, and that also led him to understanding chiropractic medicine. Dr. Bryan was transformed knowing that he could be trained to heal with his hands, and he could work with a patient holistically. He also believes that he and his colleagues could do a much better job of educating patients, and that everyone could use a little more preventative health care and drug free treatments. People are also uninformed about what chiropractic medicine brings, and that it has a high rate of pain relief. In our conversation, Dr. Bryan and I discuss: ·        Chiropractic medicine results in an 85% reduction in pharmaceutical costs. ·        Patients don't always receive proper explanations of treatments during hospital visits. ·        Patients desire more information on a musculoskeletal diagnosis. ·        Chiropractors work with the spine, and the nervous system controls every part of the body. ·        Routine exercise helps to get to the root of pain from a musculoskeletal standpoint.

Courtney Ross truly has a passion for fitness, personal wellness, and what can be accomplished with the body. Her love for self-improvement was born of a variety of factors. She certainly didn't think she’d be making the body the main focus of her life when she grew up. Having an early modeling background, Courtney was always acutely aware of her body, but she had no idea how to care for and nourish it.​ A minor surgery flipped the switch for Courtney. Sitting still for the extent of her recovery was very challenging. It changed her views on how one can care for themselves and the need for movement in life. This began her journey to understand how the body works and how to create her best self. The more she learned the more she changed for the better. This trickled into every area of her life. Change didn't happen overnight, but eventually... a light bulb went on: "I can help other people do this too!" That was 14 years ago and she hasn’t looked back. Since then, she happily continues to learn and grow by studying how the body works both inside and out.   Listen to this informative Nutrigenomic Nation episode with Courtney Ross about moving and fueling the body properly.  Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week’s show: ●    How functional medical practitioners try to find the root of the illness. ●    How the conventional range and the functional range are not the same. ●    Why people need to start being much stricter about their diet. ●    How eating organic foods does make a difference in people’s bodies. ●    Why packaged and processed food has little to no nutritional value.  Connect with Courtney: Links Mentioned: missmoxiefit.com Guest Contact Info: Instagram @_moxie_fitness_cle Facebook facebook.com/moxiefitnessohiollc Connect with Brian: Website thebeardedphilosopher.com biohackyour.life Facebook @Nutregenomicnation Instagram @therealbeardedphilosopher Learn more about your ad choices.
