What if your chronic pain had nothing to do with your body — and everything to do with your couch?
In this episode, Alex sports medicine chiropractor and founder of a multi-location concierge healthcare practice breaks down why the traditional medical model is failing patients, what the new research on creatine and vitamin D actually says about longevity, and how he built a thriving franchise by betting everything on finding rock star clinicians first.
He also shares the story of a patient with months of unresolved pain that no treatment could fix until she journaled her symptoms and realized she'd been sitting twisted toward her TV for 4 hours every night. One furniture rearrangement later, the pain was gone.
They also get into:
- Why medication and surgery show no additional benefit over chiropractic care and physical therapy
- How creatine at 10g daily is now being used for DNA longevity and brain health — not just muscle
- Why Alex now has his own wife on creatine daily
- The three nutrition rules backed by evidence that will move anyone toward a healthy weight
- Why the fee-for-service healthcare model has zero incentive to keep you healthy
- How COVID permanently changed the injuries Alex sees — and what he's doing about it
- Why the best form of exercise is simply the one you'll actually do
- How social isolation is now showing up physically in his patients as inflammation and muscle issues
If you've ever been told your pain is just something you have to live with this episode will make you think twice.
