A Deeper Look at Rheumatoid Arthritis

hello hello dr. Niccole Here I am doing hello hello dr. Niccole Here I am doing hello hello dr. Niccole Here I am doing my traditional Tuesday ritual and I am my traditional Tuesday ritual and I am my traditional Tuesday ritual and I am on my webinar on my webinar on my webinar I'm also on Instagram live so for those I'm also on Instagram live so for those I'm also on Instagram live so for those of you that are new we are in the month of you that are new we are in the month of you that are new we are in the month of March I cannot believe we are already of March I cannot believe we are already of March I cannot believe we are already in the third week of March but this in the third week of March but this in the third week of March but this month has been all about talking about month has been all about talking about month has been all about talking about pain disorders and today specifically pain disorders and today specifically pain disorders and today specifically we're going to be talking and diving we're going to be talking and diving we're going to be talking and diving into a little bit more about rheumatoid into a little bit more about rheumatoid into a little bit more about rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis is arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis is arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis is one of these conditions that is one of these conditions that is one of these conditions that is classified as an autoimmune condition it classified as an autoimmune condition it classified as an autoimmune condition it is unfortunately very very common is unfortunately very very common is unfortunately very very common nowadays and it is often being talked nowadays and it is often being talked nowadays and it is often being talked about in the sense that we don't really about in the sense that we don't really about in the sense that we don't really know why it manifests and there is no know why it manifests and there is no know why it manifests and there is no cure and there is not necessarily much cure and there is not necessarily much cure and there is not necessarily much that we can do about it outside of that we can do about it outside of that we can do about it outside of taking something that is classified as taking something that is classified as taking something that is classified as an immunosuppressant so with that being an immunosuppressant so with that being an immunosuppressant so with that being said as I talk more about some very said as I talk more about some very said as I talk more about some very specific case studies tonight that when specific case studies tonight that when specific case studies tonight that when it comes to rheumatoid arthritis I'm it comes to rheumatoid arthritis I'm it comes to rheumatoid arthritis I'm also going to be talking about pain as a also going to be talking about pain as a also going to be talking about pain as a whole and this is in reference to whole and this is in reference to whole and this is in reference to conditions like fibromyalgia chronic low conditions like fibromyalgia chronic low conditions like fibromyalgia chronic low back pain other types of inflammatory back pain other types of inflammatory back pain other types of inflammatory joint conditions so this is not joint conditions so this is not joint conditions so this is not necessarily just for people that are necessarily just for people that are necessarily just for people that are dealing with rheumatoid arthritis you dealing with rheumatoid arthritis you dealing with rheumatoid arthritis you definitely are going to walk away with definitely are going to walk away with definitely are going to walk away with some very significant clarity about some very significant clarity about some very significant clarity about rheumatoid why it manifests and some rheumatoid why it manifests and some rheumatoid why it manifests and some things that you can obviously do about things that you can obviously do about things that you can obviously do about it and even better testing that you can it and even better testing that you can it and even better testing that you can acquire to understand your condition acquire to understand your condition acquire to understand your condition better but we also will be diving into a better but we also will be diving into a better but we also will be diving into a variety of different reasons why pain variety of different reasons why pain variety of different reasons why pain exists in the first place exists in the first place exists in the first place and also the reason why a lot of and also the reason why a lot of and also the reason why a lot of different physicians and medicine is different physicians and medicine is different physicians and medicine is running into roadblocks when it comes to running into roadblocks when it comes to running into roadblocks when it comes to how do we actually fix this how do we how do we actually fix this how do we how do we actually fix this how do we actually get better especially if we're actually get better especially if we're actually get better especially if we're opting out of necessarily going down the opting out of necessarily going down the opting out of necessarily going down the road of painkillers muscle relaxers and road of painkillers muscle relaxers and road of painkillers muscle relaxers and and surgery because if we opt out of and surgery because if we opt out of and surgery because if we opt out of that a lot of us feel very stuck and we that a lot of us feel very stuck and we that a lot of us feel very stuck and we feel very scared because we don't know feel very scared because we don't know feel very scared because we don't know what else is out there for us and we what else is out there for us and we what else is out there for us and we don't know what else to do don't know what else to do don't know what else to do and I know that when it comes to pain and I know that when it comes to pain and I know that when it comes to pain some people do opt for more physical some people do opt for more physical some people do opt for more physical type therapies so I'm going to be type therapies so I'm going to be type therapies so I'm going to be talking a little bit more about physical talking a little bit more about physical talking a little bit more about physical type therapies if that's physical type therapies if that's physical type therapies if that's physical therapy massage chiropractic orthopedic therapy massage chiropractic orthopedic therapy massage chiropractic orthopedic surgery but it's really helping you guys surgery but it's really helping you guys surgery but it's really helping you guys to walk away with understanding is my to walk away with understanding is my to walk away with understanding is my pain actually physical is my pain from pain actually physical is my pain from pain actually physical is my pain from stress is my pain from toxicity is my stress is my pain from toxicity is my stress is my pain from toxicity is my pain from infections and I think that pain from infections and I think that pain from infections and I think that that's probably one of the most that's probably one of the most that's probably one of the most fascinating pieces is understanding how fascinating pieces is understanding how fascinating pieces is understanding how different types of infections that we different types of infections that we different types of infections that we could have even had in childhood that could have even had in childhood that could have even had in childhood that can linger in the body and cause us to can linger in the body and cause us to can linger in the body and cause us to have chronic pain or even to develop have chronic pain or even to develop have chronic pain or even to develop these inflammatory conditions like these inflammatory conditions like these inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis so for those of you rheumatoid arthritis so for those of you rheumatoid arthritis so for those of you either on the webinar or on the either on the webinar or on the either on the webinar or on the Instagram live definitely feel free to Instagram live

doing a live Q&A if there is something that pops up that I there is something that pops up that I there is something that pops up that I see in the in the question area that is see in the in the question area that is see in the in the question area that is really relevant to what I'm talking really relevant to what I'm talking really relevant to what I'm talking about I'm definitely happy to kind of about I'm definitely happy to kind of about I'm definitely happy to kind of dive in and answer that question on the dive in and answer that question on the dive in and answer that question on the spot spot spot so definitely feel free to engage so definitely feel free to engage so definitely feel free to engage because it's really great because I want because it's really great because I want because it's really great because I want to know I want to make sure that I'm to know I want to make sure that I'm to know I want to make sure that I'm touching on what you guys want to know touching on what you guys want to know touching on what you guys want to know so that's what this is all about is for so that's what this is all about is for so that's what this is all about is for you to be able to walk away with you to be able to walk away with you to be able to walk away with information and walk away with tools and information and walk away with tools and information and walk away with tools and strategies to start your your healing strategies to start your your healing strategies to start your your healing journey okay so for those of you that journey okay so for those of you that journey okay so for those of you that are actually on my webinar I am going to are actually on my webinar I am going to are actually on my webinar I am going to utilize my PowerPoint presentation just utilize my PowerPoint presentation just utilize my PowerPoint presentation just because I will go off on tangents so because I will go off on tangents so because I will go off on tangents so with that being said I just want to kind with that being said I just want to kind with that being said I just want to kind of reiterate so tonight we are going to of reiterate so tonight we are going to of reiterate so tonight we are going to be talking about rheumatoid arthritis be talking about rheumatoid arthritis be talking about rheumatoid arthritis I'm going to go through some really I'm going to go through some really I'm going to go through some really really interesting case studies about really interesting case studies about really interesting case studies about different rheumatoid cases that we've different rheumatoid cases that we've different rheumatoid cases that we've dealt with that they technically came in dealt with that they technically came in dealt with that they technically came in with the same diagnosis but their root with the same diagnosis but their root with the same diagnosis but their root cause was completely different and I cause was completely different and I cause was completely different and I think this is really huge for you guys think this is really huge for you guys think this is really huge for you guys to understand is that it's very unlikely to understand is that it's very unlikely to understand is that it's very unlikely that you could potentially have the same that you could potentially have the same that you could potentially have the same of someone else or the same diagnosis to of someone else or the same diagnosis to of someone else or the same diagnosis to someone else but it's very unlikely that someone else but it's very unlikely that someone else but it's very unlikely that you actually have the same root cause so you actually have the same root cause so you actually have the same root cause so in addition to that we're going to in addition to that we're going to in addition to that we're going to understand a little bit more about the understand a little bit more about the understand a little bit more about the limitations of the testing that exists limitations of the testing that exists limitations of the testing that exists when we're trying to figure out where when we're trying to figure out where when we're trying to figure out where our pain is coming from and then we're our pain is coming from and then we're our pain is coming from and then we're also going to talk more about what are also going to talk more about what are also going to talk more about what are the different strategies once we get the different strategies once we get the different strategies once we get that clarity on where the pain is that clarity on where the pain is that clarity on where the pain is stemming from look what can we actually stemming from look what can we actually stemming from look what can we actually do about it to start getting better so do about it to start getting better so do about it to start getting better so before I dive into the topic you just before I dive into the topic you just before I dive into the topic you just understand a little bit about myself understand a little bit about myself understand a little bit about myself understand a little bit about my understand a little bit about my understand a little bit about my practice and just didn't understand the practice and just didn't understand the practice and just didn't understand the premise of the foundation of what I'm premise of the foundation of what I'm premise of the foundation of what I'm talking about tonight because a lot of talking about tonight because a lot of talking about tonight because a lot of you that are listening might be brand you that are listening might be brand you that are listening might be brand new to this world of functional and new to this world of functional and new to this world of functional and integrative medicine and don't be wrong integrative medicine and don't be wrong integrative medicine and don't be wrong functional medicine and integrative functional medicine and integrative functional medicine and integrative medicine are different things but I know medicine are different things but I know medicine are different things but I know that a lot more people are in tune with that a lot more people are in tune with that a lot more people are in tune with that term functional medicine so just to that term functional medicine so just to that term functional medicine so just to clarify the difference I used to do more clarify the difference I used to do more clarify the difference I used to do more functional medicine and what I mean by functional medicine and what I mean by functional medicine and what I mean by that is I used to focus more on using a that is I used to focus more on using a that is I used to focus more on using a lot of different types of lab testing lot of different types of lab testing lot of different types of lab testing taking that information and putting taking that information and putting taking that information and putting together a customized supplement and together a customized supplement and together a customized supplement and dietary protocol and what I realized dietary protocol and what I realized dietary protocol and what I realized especially when we're dealing with especially when we're dealing with especially when we're dealing with chronic pain and inflammation is chronic pain and inflammation is chronic pain and inflammation is sometimes diet and supplements don't cut sometimes diet and supplements don't cut sometimes diet and supplements don't cut it and also most of the people that I it and also most of the people that I it and also most of the people that I work with have already been down that work with have already been down that work with have already been down that road so for me to just give them a road so for me to just give them a road so for me to just give them a different version of supplements and a different version of supplements and a different version of supplements and a different diet that's not really going different diet that's not really going different diet that's not really going to work so my practice has evolved into to work so my practice has evolved into to work so my practice has evolved into becoming something called integrative becoming something called integrative becoming something called integrative medicine and what this means is we dig medicine and what this means is we dig medicine and what this means is we dig deeper we ask more questions we deeper we ask more questions we deeper we ask more questions we understand every single aspect of the understand every single aspect of the understand every single aspect of the timeline that led you to where you are timeline that led you to where you are timeline that led you to where you are at now and led you to the symptoms that at now and led you to the symptoms that at now and led you to the symptoms that you have or led you to the diagnosis you have or led you to the diagnosis you have or led you to the diagnosis that you have so this is talking about that you have so this is talking about that you have so this is talking about your birthing process all the way to your birthing process all the way to your birthing process all the way to your childhood illnesses talking about your childhood illnesses talking about your childhood illnesses talking about your emotional traumas talking about you your emotional traumas talking about you your emotional traumas talking about you know what kind of work that you do there know what kind of work that you do there know what kind of work that you do there are so many factors that have to be are so many factors that have to be are so many factors that have to be considered considered considered to understand the snowball effect that to understand the snowball effect that to understand the snowball effect that got you to where you are today which can got you to where you are today which can got you to where you are today which can be something like rheumatoid arthritis be something like rheumatoid arthritis be something like rheumatoid arthritis fibromyalgia or some other type of fibromyalgia or some other type of fibromyalgia or some other type of chronic pain syndrome so when we got chronic pain syndrome so when we got chronic pain syndrome so when we got into this field we were always asking into this field we were always asking into this field we were always asking more questions and always trying to fill more questions and always trying to fill more questions and always trying to fill the voids of what we saw with our the voids of what we saw with our the voids of what we saw with our patients and that's what took us down patients and that's what took us down patients and that's what took us down this road of integrative medicine and me this road of integrative medicine and me this road of integrative medicine and me being an integrative practitioner you being an integrative practitioner you being an integrative practitioner you know if you go on our website or if know if you go on our website or if know if you go on our website or if you're on the webinar I work with so you're on the webinar I work with so you're on the webinar I work with so many different demographics and many different demographics and many different demographics and sometimes people are confused by that sometimes people are confused by that sometimes people are confused by that because we're always seeking out the because we're always seeking out the because we're always seeking out the expert we always want to make sure that expert we always want to make sure that expert we always want to make sure that we're working with the expert in our we're working with the expert in our we're working with the expert in our condition but honestly I feel like that condition but honestly I feel like that condition but honestly I feel like that is what gets us into trouble because if is what gets us into trouble because if is what gets us into trouble because if you have a physician coming in looking you have a physician coming in looking you have a physician coming in looking at you as one system or there's at you as one system or there's at you as one system or there's dysfunction in one system that's where dysfunction in one system that's where dysfunction in one system that's where the roadblocks happen when it comes to the roadblocks happen when it comes to the roadblocks happen when it comes to the healing process because if you look the healing process because if you look the healing process because if you look at the whole person and you look at the at the whole person and you look at the at the whole person and you look at the body as an integration of systems and body as an integration of systems and body as an integration of systems and you understand that the gut can affect you understand that the gut can affect you understand that the gut can affect the brain and the brain can affect the the brain and the brain can affect the the brain and the brain can affect the kidneys and you know there's so many kidneys and you know there's so many kidneys and you know there's so many things that are working together that's things that are working together that's things that are working together that's when you're really able to uncover the when you're really able to uncover the when you're really able to uncover the foundational issue the root cause and foundational issue the root cause and foundational issue the root cause and then you're able to put someone on a then you're able to put someone on a then you're able to put someone on a regimen that actually fixes the regimen that actually fixes the regimen that actually fixes the foundation that allows a lot of the foundation that allows a lot of the foundation that allows a lot of the effects okay a lot of the symptoms to effects okay a lot of the symptoms to effects okay a lot of the symptoms to drop away so when it comes to chronic drop away so when it comes to chronic drop away so when it comes to chronic pain or if it comes to Lyme disease or pain or if it comes to Lyme disease or pain or if it comes to Lyme disease or hormonal issues it's just a matter of hormonal issues it's just a matter of hormonal issues it's just a matter of doing the right testing and looking at doing the right testing and looking at doing the right testing and looking at the big picture and asking better the big picture and asking better the big picture and asking better questions and if you take that type of questions and if you take that type of questions and if you take that type of approach you can really understand the approach you can really understand the approach you can really understand the big picture and you also can simplify big picture and you also can simplify big picture and you also can simplify the healing process instead of thinking the healing process instead of thinking the healing process instead of thinking oh okay we have to do a gut protocol and oh okay we have to do a gut protocol and oh okay we have to do a gut protocol and then we have to do an inflammatory then we have to do an inflammatory then we have to do an inflammatory protocol and then we have to do a protocol and then we have to do a protocol and then we have to do a rheumatoid protocol it's not about that rheumatoid protocol it's not about that rheumatoid protocol it's not about that it's about connecting the dots and it's about connecting the dots and it's about connecting the dots and fixing the foundation that is the key to fixing the foundation that is the key to fixing the foundation that is the key to the healing process and that is what we the healing process and that is what we the healing process and that is what we encompass in this world of integrative encompass in this world of integrative encompass in this world of integrative medicine medicine medicine so for myself you know a lot of people so for myself you know a lot of people so for myself you know a lot of people in my industry have a story about how in my industry have a story about how in my industry have a story about how they were really sick and they nurse they were really sick and they nurse they were really sick and they nurse themselves back to health because themselves back to health because themselves back to health because medicine steered them wrong and I don't medicine steered them wrong and I don't medicine steered them wrong and I don't really have that story and my story is really have that story and my story is really have that story and my story is actually very different and I remember actually very different and I remember actually very different and I remember almost feeling guilty for a long time almost feeling guilty for a long time almost feeling guilty for a long time not having this story and then what I not having this story and then what I not having this story and then what I realized is that my story in my journey realized is that my story in my journey realized is that my story in my journey is the demographic of people that I get is the demographic of people that I get is the demographic of people that I get the most excited about working with and the most excited about working with and the most excited about working with and what I mean by that is I thought I was what I mean by that is I thought I was what I mean by that is I thought

able to get that you have not been able to get better on your own it is not your fault better on your own it is not your fault better on your own it is not your fault that maybe you try functional medicine that maybe you try functional medicine that maybe you try functional medicine and it didn't work out for you it is not and it didn't work out for you it is not and it didn't work out for you it is not your fault that you became addicted to your fault that you became addicted to your fault that you became addicted to painkillers painkillers painkillers none of it is your fault and we are none of it is your fault and we are none of it is your fault and we are living in a world that has programmed us living in a world that has programmed us living in a world that has programmed us to think a certain way about our health to think a certain way about our health to think a certain way about our health it allows us to normalize things that it allows us to normalize things that it allows us to normalize things that are not normal it allows us to put a are not normal it allows us to put a are not normal it allows us to put a bandaid on things so we can power bandaid on things so we can power bandaid on things so we can power through and keep working and keep doing through and keep working and keep doing through and keep working and keep doing the things that we need to do to

know what to do I'm just read don't know what to do I'm just read about paleo I read about an autoimmune about paleo I read about an autoimmune about paleo I read about an autoimmune Paleo I Paleo I Paleo I about keto I read about you know these about keto I read about you know these about keto I read about you know these three supplements for inflammation I three supplements for inflammation I three supplements for inflammation I read about these supplements for RA like read about these supplements for RA like read about these supplements for RA like what do I do and most of us just kind of what do I do and most of us just kind of what do I do and most of us just kind of like I throw our hands up let me say like I throw our hands up let me say like I throw our hands up let me say this is too much so I get it I totally this is too much so I get it I totally this is too much so I get it I totally get it but I want you to know that what get it but I want you to know that what get it but I want you to know that what your body needs is very different from your body needs is very different from your body needs is very different from someone else who has rheumatoid someone else who has rheumatoid someone else who has rheumatoid arthritis or someone else who has arthritis or someone else who has arthritis or someone else who has fibromyalgia it's really about figuring fibromyalgia it's really about figuring fibromyalgia it's really about figuring out your body's needs so it's not just out your body's needs so it's not just out your body's needs so it's not just about knowing your diagnosis it's also about knowing your diagnosis it's also about knowing your diagnosis it's also knowing the strategy that you need to knowing the strategy that you need to knowing the strategy that you need to actually get better so this is probably actually get better so this is probably actually get better so this is probably like the most important slide throughout like the most important slide throughout like the most important slide throughout this presentation because this helps you this presentation because this helps you this presentation because this helps you to understand the foundation of why you to understand the foundation of why you to understand the foundation of why you potentially are frustrated and not potentially are frustrated and not potentially are frustrated and not getting out of pain getting out of pain getting out of pain so number one is I've already gonna said so number one is I've already gonna said so number one is I've already gonna said this is that I personally feel that the this is that I personally feel that the this is that I personally feel that the biggest detriment to medicine right now biggest detriment to medicine right now biggest detriment to medicine right now is the fact that we are always seeking is the fact that we are always seeking is the fact that we are always seeking out the expert or the specialist and the out the expert or the specialist and the out the expert or the specialist and the entire system is based on specialties so entire system is based on specialties so entire system is based on specialties so if you have a heart problem you're going if you have a heart problem you're going if you have a heart problem you're going to go to a cardiologist if you have a to go to a cardiologist if you have a to go to a cardiologist if you have a gut problem you're going to go to a gut problem you're going to go to a gut problem you're going to go to a gastroenterologist if you have gastroenterologist if you have gastroenterologist if you have depression or anxiety you're gonna go to depression or anxiety you're gonna go to depression or anxiety you're gonna go to a psychiatrist or maybe even a a psychiatrist or maybe even a a psychiatrist or maybe even a psychologist and nobody is talking to psychologist and nobody is talking to psychologist and nobody is talking to each other each other each other nobody is co-managing your case so this nobody is co-managing your case so this nobody is co-managing your case so this brings me to the second point of the brings me to the second point of the brings me to the second point of the complete misunderstanding of basic complete misunderstanding of basic complete misunderstanding of basic physiology so very very simple 80 physiology so very very simple 80 physiology so very very simple 80 or I'm sorry 90 to 95 percent of your or I'm sorry 90 to 95 percent of your or I'm sorry 90 to 95 percent of your serotonin which is your feel-good serotonin which is your feel-good serotonin which is your feel-good hormone is made in your gut so if you hormone is made in your gut so if you hormone is made in your gut so if you have depression but you also have have depression but you also have have depression but you also have irritable bowel syndrome and you don't irritable bowel syndrome and you don't irritable bowel syndrome and you don't have your psychiatrist and your have your psychiatrist and your have your psychiatrist and your gastroenterologist co-managing you're gastroenterologist co-managing you're gastroenterologist co-managing you're not gonna get better not gonna get better not gonna get better or you might be treating a depression or you might be treating a depression or you might be treating a depression that is actually caused by your gut that is actually caused by your gut that is actually caused by your gut issues that maybe you haven't figured issues that maybe you haven't figured issues that maybe you haven't figured out how to fix yet so it's extremely out how to fix yet so it's extremely out how to fix yet so it's extremely important to understand that this is not important to understand that this is not important to understand that this is not about the specialist or the expert this about the specialist or the expert this about the specialist or the expert this is about someone who understands the is about someone who understands the is about someone who understands the body as body as body as integration of systems and also integration of systems and also integration of systems and also understands basic physiology and understands basic physiology and understands basic physiology and understands how things communicate and understands how things communicate and understands how things communicate and how things are connected and especially how things are connected and especially how things are connected and especially this shows so important when it even this shows so important when it even this shows so important when it even comes to hormones I can't tell you how comes to hormones I can't tell you how comes to hormones I can't tell you how many women I work with with hormone many women I work with with hormone many women I work with with hormone issues that I never actually do anything issues that I never actually do anything issues that I never actually do anything to manipulate their hormones and all I to manipulate their hormones and all I to manipulate their hormones and all I do is I fix the foundation and sometimes do is I fix the foundation and sometimes do is I fix the foundation and sometimes that's a detox and sometimes that's a that's a detox and sometimes that's a that's a detox and sometimes that's a gut issue sometimes it's a neurological gut issue sometimes it's a neurological gut issue sometimes it's a neurological issue we get that fixed and most of issue we get that fixed and most of issue we get that fixed and most of their problems go away their thyroid their problems go away their thyroid their problems go away their thyroid balances out there PMS goes away their balances out there PMS goes away their balances out there PMS goes away their cysts cysts cysts go away on their ovaries you would be go away on their ovaries you would be go away on their ovaries you would be mind blown to know how many of those mind blown to know how many of those mind blown to know how many of those types of hormonal issues self-correct types of hormonal issues self-correct types of hormonal issues self-correct when you fix the foundation so a lot of when you fix the foundation so a lot of when you fix the foundation so a lot of people ask me on a day-to-day basis why people ask me on a day-to-day basis why people ask me on a day-to-day basis why doesn't everybody do what you do why doesn't everybody do what you do why doesn't everybody do what you do why doesn't everybody think the way that doesn't everybody think the way that doesn't everybody think the way that integrated wellness group thinks and my integrated wellness group thinks and my integrated wellness group thinks and my answer is is that medicine is based on a answer is is that medicine is based on a answer is is that medicine is based on a lot of chemistry based tests so the most lot of chemistry based tests so the most lot of chemistry based tests so the most traditional tasks that all of us do want traditional tasks that all of us do want traditional tasks that all of us do want to yearly basis is going to be blood to yearly basis is going to be blood to yearly basis is going to be blood work so blood work is a biochemistry work so blood work is a biochemistry work so blood work is a biochemistry test it's chemistry and biology it's test it's chemistry and biology it's test it's chemistry and biology it's using chemistry to look at your biology using chemistry to look at your biology using chemistry to look at your biology so if your chemistry of your blood is so if your chemistry of your blood is so if your chemistry of your blood is off or altered or high or low then it's off or altered or high or low then it's off or altered or high or low then it's we're going to use methods to manipulate we're going to use methods to manipulate we're going to use methods to manipulate the chemistry and the way that we do the chemistry and the way that we do the chemistry and the way that we do that is by using drugs that is by using drugs that is by using drugs pharmacology medicine so our whole pharmacology medicine so our whole pharmacology medicine so our whole system is based on using testing that is system is based on using testing that is system is based on using testing that is going to then result in the solution going to then result in the solution going to then result in the solution being pharmacology and medicine so when being pharmacology and medicine so when being pharmacology and medicine so when you go beyond using just blood work and you go beyond using just blood work and you go beyond using just blood work and you dig deeper and you use more you dig deeper and you use more you dig deeper and you use more elaborate testing and you look at the elaborate testing and you look at the elaborate testing and you look at the DNA and you look at the emotional side DNA and you look at the emotional side DNA and you look at the emotional side and you look at the meridians your and you look at the meridians your and you look at the meridians your treatment protocol is very different but treatment protocol is very different but treatment protocol is very different but unfortunately there's not a ton of money unfortunately there's not a ton of money unfortunately there's not a ton of money to be made in all the rest of that so to be made in all the rest of that so to be made in all the rest of that so it's very important for you to it's very important for you to it's very important for you to understand that you know we don't do understand that you know we don't do understand that you know we don't do things the way that we do just to be things the way that we do just to be things the way that we do just to be weird we do things because it's weird we do things because it's weird we do things because it's effective effective effective it gives us better answers in a faster it gives us better answers in a faster it gives us better answers in a faster amount of time and it also allows us to amount of time and it also allows us to amount of time and it also allows us to have more tools in the toolbox when it have more tools in the toolbox when it have more tools in the toolbox when it comes to the healing process and it also comes to the healing process and it also comes to the healing process and it also gets us away from this idea that gets us away from this idea that gets us away from this idea that everything is a one-size-fits-all everything is a one-size-fits-all everything is a one-size-fits-all treatment so one of the things that we treatment so one of the things that we treatment so one of the things that we do with our testing is we actually do with our testing is we actually do with our testing is we actually customize what is the best therapies for customize what is the best therapies for customize what is the best therapies for your body what is the best supplements your body what is the best supplements your body what is the best supplements herbs tinctures remedies for your body herbs tinctures remedies for your body herbs tinctures remedies for your body nothing is cookie cutter so even if you nothing is cookie cutter so even if you nothing is cookie cutter so even if you come to me with rheumatoid arthritis I'm come to me with rheumatoid arthritis I'm come to me with rheumatoid arthritis I'm not going to give you my cookie cutter not going to give you my cookie cutter not going to give you my cookie cutter rheumatoid arthritis regimen or protocol rheumatoid arthritis regimen or protocol rheumatoid arthritis regimen or protocol I'm actually going to still customize it I'm actually going to still customize it I'm actually going to still customize it to your body and what your body's needs to your body and what your body's needs to your body and what your body's needs are because your body is going to be are because your body is going to be are because your body is going to be completely different than someone else completely different than someone else completely different than someone else who has rheumatoid arthritis so with who has rheumatoid arthritis so with who has rheumatoid arthritis so with that being said we're gonna start diving that being said we're gonna start diving that being said we're gonna start diving into your the causes of pain because into your the causes of pain because into your the causes of pain because there are many many reasons but as we there are many many reasons but as we there are many many reasons but as we get into this I actually want to tell get into this I actually want to tell get into this I actually want to tell you guys about specific person that we you guys about specific person that we you guys about specific person that we worked with that had rheumatoid worked with that had rheumatoid worked with that had rheumatoid arthritis so we had a woman who came to arthritis so we had a woman who came to arthritis so we had a woman who came to us she was diagnosed with rheumatoid us she was diagnosed with rheumatoid us she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis after having her third child arthritis after having her third child arthritis after having her third child she was definitely dealing with some she was definitely dealing with some she was definitely dealing with some pain and inflammation but it really pain and inflammation but it really pain and inflammation but it really catapulted after her third child and she catapulted after her third child and she catapulted after her third child and she was to the point that it was taking her was to the point that it was taking her was to the point that it was taking her almost an hour to get moving in the almost an hour to get moving in the almost an hour to get moving in the morning because she was in so much pain morning because she was in so much pain morning because she was in so much pain she really couldn't function she was a she really couldn't function she was a she really couldn't function she was a new mom she was developing postpartum new mom she was developing postpartum new mom she was developing postpartum because she just couldn't even pick up because she just couldn't even pick up because she just couldn't even pick up her child without like crying because her child without like crying because her child without like crying because she was in so much pain so when she came she was in so much pain so when she came she was in so much pain so when she came in we were digging into her history and in we were digging into her history and in we were digging into her history and trying to understand you know what was trying to understand you know what was trying to understand you know what was the big the big catalyst or what was the the big the big catalyst or what was the the big the big catalyst or what was the straw that broke the camel's back for straw that broke the camel's back for straw that broke the camel's back for this person was it you know was it the this person was it you know was it the this person was it you know was it the pregnancy was it the stress of you know pregnancy was it the stress of you know pregnancy was it the stress of you know the hormonal change or was it something the hormonal change or was it something the hormonal change or was it something more so one of the things that came up more so one of the things that came up more so one of the things that came up is she did reveal that her mother passed is she did reveal that her mother passed is she did reveal that her mother passed away right actually three months before away right actually three months before away right actually three months before the rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis and the rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis and the rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis and as she was even bringing this up she did as she was even bringing this up she did as she was even bringing this up she did start to cry so she clearly was still start to cry so she clearly was still start to cry so she clearly was still going through the the grief process going through the the grief process going through the the grief process and it was something that she hadn't and it was something that she hadn't and it was something that she hadn't really worked through she hadn't even really worked through she hadn't even really worked through she hadn't even had time to she was obviously trying to had time to she was obviously trying to had time to she was obviously trying to you know manage her life and and manage you know manage her life and and manage you know manage her life and and manage a newborn so I told her that I based off a newborn so I told her that I based off a newborn so I told her that I based off of our testing I did feel that you know of our testing I did feel that you know of our testing I did feel that you know this this grief was definitely a big this this grief was definitely a big this this grief was definitely a big player in what was the catalyst that player in what was the catalyst that player in what was the catalyst that caused all of this inflammation to come caused all of this inflammation to come caused all of this inflammation to come to the surface so I don't want to to the surface so I don't want to to the surface so I don't want to confuse you guys because the thing you confuse you guys because the thing you confuse you guys because the thing you have to understand here is that a lot of have to understand here is that a lot of have to understand here is that a lot of us have this story a lot of us have the us have this story a lot of us have the us have this story a lot of us have the story that you know we didn't make me story that you know we didn't make me story that you know we didn't make me feel the best but it came and went and feel the best but it came and went and feel the best but it came and went and we got through our lives we function and we got through our lives we function and we got through our lives we function and then there was just this like one moment then there was just this like one moment then there was just this like one moment that we're like what is going on my body that we're like what is going on my body that we're like what is going on my body is literally shutting down on me and I'm is literally shutting down on me and I'm is literally shutting down on me and I'm scared and it's like we kind of feel scared and it's like we kind of feel scared and it's like we kind of feel like everything hit us like a ton of like everything hit us like a ton of like everything hit us like a ton of bricks and what I always explained is bricks and what I always explained is bricks and what I always explained is that there were things brewing in the that there were things brewing in the that there were things brewing in the background but there was the one thing background but there was the one thing background but there was the one thing that was the straw that broke the that was the straw that broke the that was the straw that broke the camel's back and sometimes that's a camel's back and sometimes that's a camel's back and sometimes that's a virus and sometimes that's a trauma and virus and sometimes that's a trauma and virus and sometimes that's a trauma and sometimes that's a that's the birth of a sometimes that's a that's the birth of a sometimes that's a that's the birth of a child it could be different person to child it could be different person to child it could be different person to person but I explained to her that I did person but I explained to her that I did person but I explained to her that I did I did not want to ignore the fact that I did not want to ignore the fact that I did not want to ignore the fact that she was grieving and feeling that that she was grieving and feeling that that she was grieving and feeling that that was a big part of what was the onset for was a big part of what was the onset for was a big part of what was the onset for the rheumatoid arthritis and she just the rheumatoid arthritis and she just the rheumatoid arthritis and she just was like listen I can't function I need was like listen I can't function I need was like listen I can't function I need to take care of my child I need you to to take care of my child I need you to to take care of my child I need you to help me detox and you know get this help me detox and you know get this help me detox and you know get this inflammation down I can't imagine that inflammation down I can't imagine that inflammation down I can't imagine that the culprit behind this has to do with the culprit behind this has to do with the culprit behind this has to do with my mom passing away so I said okay so my mom passing away so I said okay so my mom passing away so I said okay so we're gonna do the regimen and then in we're gonna do the regimen and then in we're gonna do the regimen and then in four weeks we're gonna revisit this four weeks we're gonna revisit this four weeks we're gonna revisit this conversation and we're gonna check in conversation and we're gonna check in conversation and we're gonna check in and see how you're doing and I said if and see how you're doing and I said if and see how you're doing and I said if you if you have not improved by at least you if you have not improved by at least you if you have not improved by at least 50% 50% 50% we are going to revisit the conversation we are going to revisit the conversation we are going to revisit the conversation about this emotional piece she goes okay about this emotional piece she goes okay about this emotional piece she goes okay okay she's kind of blowing me off so okay she's kind of blowing me off so okay she's kind of blowing me off so four weeks later she comes to me she four weeks later she comes to me she four weeks later she comes to me she goes I don't really feel much better and goes I don't really feel much better and goes I don't really feel much better and I go okay I was like are you willing to I go okay I was like are you willing to I go okay I was like are you willing to do something called the Demartini method do something called the Demartini method do something called the Demartini method which is the method that dr. Nick does which is the method that dr. Nick does which is the method that dr. Nick does in our office that helps people to work in our office that helps people to work in our office that helps people to work through grief it's actually done over through grief it's actually done over through grief it's actually done over the course of a few hours it is not talk the course of a few hours it is not talk the course of a few hours it is not talk therapy it is not tapping it's very very therapy it is not tapping it's very very therapy it is not tapping it's very very different it's something that you can different it's something that you can different it's something that you can definitely read more about definitely read more about definitely read more about our website so she did it she did it our website so she did it she did it our website so she did it she did it over the course of a few hours she over the course of a few hours she over the course of a few hours she completely walked away like a new person completely walked away like a new person completely walked away like a new person so much lighter so so balanced and so much lighter so so balanced and so much lighter so so balanced and appreciative and loving towards her mom appreciative and loving towards her mom appreciative and loving towards her mom but not in a place of feeling massive but not in a place of feeling massive but not in a place of feeling massive sadness but just feeling very grateful sadness but just feeling very grateful sadness but just feeling very grateful that she had such a wonderful mom in her that she had such a wonderful mom in her that she had such a wonderful mom in her life in the time that she was with her life in the time that she was with her life in the time that she was with her so within a week of her doing the so within a week of her doing the so within a week of her doing the Demartini method she lost 15 pounds of Demartini method she lost 15 pounds of Demartini method she lost 15 pounds of inflammation so this is not something inflammation so this is not something inflammation so this is not something that happens all the time but this is that happens all the time but this is that happens all the time but this is really really significant and I'm saying really really significant and I'm saying really really significant and I'm saying this to you guys not telling you that this to you guys not telling you that this to you guys not telling you that this is your root cause but having you this is your root cause but having you this is your root cause but having you understand that you you can't just understand that you you can't just understand that you you can't just ignore some of these pieces of the ignore some of these pieces of the ignore some of these pieces of the puzzle you have to make sure that your puzzle you have to make sure that your puzzle you have to make sure that your physician is looking at all aspects so physician is looking at all aspects so physician is looking at all aspects so you're not wasting time and money you're not wasting time and money you're not wasting time and money essentially you can do all the detoxes essentially you can do all the detoxes essentially you can do all the detoxes in the world but if your root cause is in the world but if your root cause is in the world but if your root cause is something emotional that you haven't something emotional that you haven't something emotional that you haven't worked through then you're not going to worked through then you're not going to worked through then you're not going to get better so it's very very important get better so it's very very important get better so it's very very important that all factors are considered and it's that all factors are considered and it's that all factors are considered and it's really just a matter of understanding really just a matter of understanding really just a matter of understanding what your root cause is so obviously what your root cause is so obviously what your root cause is so obviously with that story the emotional piece can with that story the emotional piece can with that story the emotional piece can definitely play a role but for other definitely play a role but for other definitely play a role but for other people there are so many other factors people there are so many other factors people there are so many other factors to consider one of them being is your to consider one of them being is your to consider one of them being is your pain from physical trauma did you have a pain from physical trauma did you have a pain from physical trauma did you have a head injury did you have you know knee head injury did you have you know knee head injury did you have you know knee injuries because you were a basketball injuries because you were a basketball injuries because you were a basketball player did you have a ton tons of player did you have a ton tons of player did you have a ton tons of terrors and strain sprains because you terrors and strain sprains because you terrors and strain sprains because you were an athlete or do you have tons of were an athlete or do you have tons of were an athlete or do you have tons of chemical and toxic stress did you grow chemical and toxic stress did you grow chemical and toxic stress did you grow up on a farm did you work in a factory up on a farm did you work in a factory up on a farm did you work in a factory did you have a ton of dental work that did you have a ton of dental work that did you have a ton of dental work that cost you to be exposed to mercury cost you to be exposed to mercury cost you to be exposed to mercury do you eat tons of fish have you lived do you eat tons of fish have you lived do you eat tons of fish have you lived in a moldy apartment those are all in a moldy apartment those are all in a moldy apartment those are all contributing factors to joint pain and contributing factors to joint pain and contributing factors to joint pain and then we have infections then we have infections then we have infections this is something that I'm gonna tell this is something that I'm gonna tell this is something that I'm gonna tell you guys a story about because this is you guys a story about because this is you guys a story about because this is something that is so not on people's something that is so not on people's something that is so not on people's radar and I think the only thing that is radar and I think the only thing that is radar and I think the only thing that is on some people's radar is Lyme disease on some people's radar is Lyme disease on some people's radar is Lyme disease and Lyme disease when you hear about it and Lyme disease when you hear about it and Lyme disease when you hear about it it is usually associated with some type it is usually associated with some type it is usually associated with some type of joint pain and it's very well known of joint pain and it's very well known of joint pain and it's very well known to affect the knees and the hips but to affect the knees and the hips but to affect the knees and the hips but there is another type of infection that there is another type of infection that there is another type of infection that is actually more common to affect the is actually more common to affect the is actually more common to affect the joints and this is strep yes the strep joints and this is strep yes the strep joints and this is strep yes the strep that you get in your throat strep is the that you get in your throat strep is the that you get in your throat strep is the most most common thing that I find in most most common thing that I find in most most common thing that I find in people's joints so this is an people's joints so this is an people's joints so this is an interesting story so we have interesting story so we have interesting story so we have chiropractic in our practice and we have chiropractic in our practice and we have chiropractic in our practice and we have a device called a sound wave unit so a device called a sound wave unit so a device called a sound wave unit so sound wave is specifically geared sound wave is specifically geared sound wave is specifically geared towards sending sound waves into tissue towards sending sound waves into tissue towards sending sound waves into tissue to break down scar tissue so in the very to break down scar tissue so in the very to break down scar tissue so in the very early stages of our practice we got the early stages of our practice we got the early stages of our practice we got the sound wave machine specifically for sound wave machine specifically for sound wave machine specifically for joint pain injuries rotator cuff all joint pain injuries rotator cuff all joint pain injuries rotator cuff all those types of things and it works those types of things and it works those types of things and it works wonders it's amazing it breaks down wonders it's amazing it breaks down wonders it's amazing it breaks down starch tissue it gets people out of pain starch tissue it gets people out of pain starch tissue it gets people out of pain it's literally an amazing technology but it's literally an amazing technology but it's literally an amazing technology but what happened was we had a guy that came what happened was we had a guy that came what happened was we had a guy that came in for chiropractic he did not come in in for chiropractic he did not come in in for chiropractic he did not come in for functional medicine he did not want for functional medicine he did not want for functional medicine he did not want further testing he just says I have a further testing he just says I have a further testing he just says I have a knee problem I heard about your sound knee problem I heard about your sound knee problem I heard about your sound wave I want to get soundly done and I wave I want to get soundly done and I wave I want to get soundly done and I want to resolve my knee pain so he was want to resolve my knee pain so he was want to resolve my knee pain so he was working with one of the chiropractors he working with one of the chiropractors he working with one of the chiropractors he did the sound wave on his knee and at did the sound wave on his knee and at did the sound wave on his knee and at this point we've only seen success with this point we've only seen success with this point we've only seen success with sound waves we've seen people say oh my sound waves we've seen people say oh my sound waves we've seen people say oh my gosh 50% of my pain has gone after one gosh 50% of my pain has gone after one gosh 50% of my pain has gone after one or two treatments so we expected the or two treatments so we expected the or two treatments so we expected the same result so he came back about two same result so he came back about two same result so he came back about two days later and he said I was supposed to days later and he said I was supposed to days later and he said I was supposed to come here yesterday but I couldn't even come here yesterday but I couldn't even come here yesterday but I couldn't even make it here because my knee was so bad make it here because my knee was so bad make it here because my knee was so bad do not come near me with that machine do not come near me with that machine do not come near me with that machine and we were like whoa that's the first and we were like whoa that's the first and we were like whoa that's the first time we've ever heard that so we said time we've ever heard that so we said time we've ever heard that so we said okay clearly there's something more okay clearly there's something more okay clearly there's something more going on with your knee and we need to going on with your knee and we need to going on with your knee and we need to do more testing on it so we tested the do more testing on it so we tested the do more testing on it so we tested the NIEM and it turned out the culprit was NIEM and it turned out the culprit was NIEM and it turned out the culprit was strep strep strep that was in the mist that was in the mist that was in the mist and also in the synovial fluid of his and also in the synovial fluid of his and also in the synovial fluid of his knee so what happened was we used the knee so what happened was we used the knee so what happened was we used the sound wave and the sound wave because it sound wave and the sound wave because it sound wave and the sound wave because it breaks up scar tissue adhesions it can breaks up scar tissue adhesions it can breaks up scar tissue adhesions it can also break up any type of adhesions in also break up any type of adhesions in also break up any type of adhesions in the lymphatic system and the lymph nodes the lymphatic system and the lymph nodes the lymphatic system and the lymph nodes lymph nodes also a part of your immune lymph nodes also a part of your immune lymph nodes also a part of your immune system so what happened was as we system so what happened was as we system so what happened was as we mobilized the strep in his knee from mobilized the strep in his knee from mobilized the strep in his knee from doing the sound wave so that was one of doing the sound wave so that was one of doing the sound wave so that was one of the most eye-opening parts of or pieces the most eye-opening parts of or pieces the most eye-opening parts of or pieces of the puzzle I should say because at of the puzzle I should say because at of the puzzle I should say because at that point we opted to have a chronic that point we opted to have a chronic that point we opted to have a chronic pain program in our practice because we pain program in our practice because we pain program in our practice because we knew that if you just look at pain as knew that if you just look at pain as knew that if you just look at pain as being a physical issue that's when you being a physical issue that's when you being a physical issue that's when you can't help people to the maximum can't help people to the maximum can't help people to the maximum capacity because if you the chronic pain capacity because if you the chronic pain capacity because if you the chronic pain that you've had PT you've had that you've had PT you've had that you've had PT you've had chiropractic you've had orthopedic chiropractic you've had orthopedic chiropractic you've had orthopedic surgeries you've done all those things surgeries you've done all those things surgeries you've done all those things then you need to start looking elsewhere then you need to start looking elsewhere then you need to start looking elsewhere because I doubt your pain is actually because I doubt your pain is actually because I doubt your pain is actually due to just physical trauma injury or due to just physical trauma injury or due to just physical trauma injury or repetitive stress so it's very very repetitive stress so it's very very repetitive stress so it's very very important to do the right testing so important to do the right testing so important to do the right testing so that you're not on this merry-go-round that you're not on this merry-go-round that you're not on this merry-go-round of never getting better and never of never getting better and never of never getting better and never getting answers so the other thing too getting answers so the other thing too getting answers so the other thing too is neurological pain patterns so is neurological pain patterns so is neurological pain patterns so neurological pain patterns are always neurological pain patterns are always neurological pain patterns are always very interesting because when I have very interesting because when I have very interesting because when I have people that come to me and they say all people that come to me and they say all people that come to me and they say all my pain is different all the time all my pain is different all the time all my pain is different all the time all we've got my elbow worker the next day we've got my elbow worker the next day we've got my elbow worker the next day my knee will hurt you know and a week my knee will hurt you know and a week my knee will hurt you know and a week later I'll have you know my my neck is later I'll have you know my my neck is later I'll have you know my my neck is hurting those types of migrating pains hurting those types of migrating pains hurting those types of migrating pains are not necessarily because you have are not necessarily because you have are not necessarily because you have issues and every single joint of your issues and every single joint of your issues and every single joint of your entire body that can actually be entire body that can actually be entire body that can actually be stemming from your neurological system stemming from your neurological system stemming from your neurological system and that can be your brain is stress and that can be your brain is stress and that can be your brain is stress from a head injury it could be stress from a head injury it could be stress from a head injury it could be stress from not getting proper blood flow it from not getting proper blood flow it from not getting proper blood flow it could be stressed because you have blood could be stressed because you have blood could be stressed because you have blood sugar issues we're going to dive more sugar issues we're going to dive more sugar issues we're going to dive more into that but the brain can be affected into that but the brain can be affected into that but the brain can be affected by a lot a lot of different things so by a lot a lot of different things so by a lot a lot of different things so this alone should be extremely this alone should be extremely this alone should be extremely eye-opening to you guys to understand eye-opening to you guys to understand eye-opening to you guys to understand that pain is not necessarily that pain is not necessarily that pain is not necessarily is physical it could have many many is physical it could have many many is physical it could have many many origins so some of the biggest biggest origins so some of the biggest biggest origins so some of the biggest biggest myths about pain is that it can only myths about pain is that it can only myths about pain is that it can only really be taken care of through surgery really be taken care of through surgery really be taken care of through surgery and painkillers that emotional trauma and painkillers that emotional trauma and painkillers that emotional trauma and stress has nothing to do with your and stress has nothing to do with your and stress has nothing to do with your pain or your onset of rheumatoid pain or your onset of rheumatoid pain or your onset of rheumatoid arthritis that you have been thoroughly arthritis that you have been thoroughly arthritis that you have been thoroughly tested for all of the possibility is tested for all of the possibility is tested for all of the possibility is toxicity being one infections have toxicity being one infections have toxicity being one infections have nothing to do with joint problems and nothing to do with joint problems and nothing to do with joint problems and that your diagnosis actually tells you that your diagnosis actually tells you that your diagnosis actually tells you anything about your root cause and what anything about your root cause and what anything about your root cause and what I mean by that is most diagnosis is just I mean by that is most diagnosis is just I mean by that is most diagnosis is just a description of your symptoms it a description of your symptoms it a description of your symptoms it actually doesn't usually give you any actually doesn't usually give you any actually doesn't usually give you any insight as to why it just says oh from insight as to why it just says oh from insight as to why it just says oh from amalga you have various pain points on amalga you have various pain points on amalga you have various pain points on your body and a story we don't know why your body and a story we don't know why your body and a story we don't know why but that's what you have like in my but that's what you have like in my but that's what you have like in my opinion that's not good enough you need opinion that's not good enough you need opinion that's not good enough you need to understand why you deserve to to understand why you deserve to to understand why you deserve to understand why so when it comes to the understand why so when it comes to the understand why so when it comes to the physical pain piece I want to dive into physical pain piece I want to dive into physical pain piece I want to dive into this even more because this is not as this even more because this is not as this even more because this is not as cut and dry as you guys think this is cut and dry as you guys think this is cut and dry as you guys think this is not just oh I was an athlete and I not just oh I was an athlete and I not just oh I was an athlete and I banged myself up pretty good because banged myself up pretty good because banged myself up pretty good because it's really there are other factors that it's really there are other factors that it's really there are other factors that can play in that are totally not what can play in that are totally not what can play in that are totally not what you're thinking about on a day-to-day you're thinking about on a day-to-day you're thinking about on a day-to-day basis basis basis one of those is antibiotic use so one of those is antibiotic use so one of those is antibiotic use so antibiotics there is a family of antibiotics there is a family of antibiotics there is a family of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones and antibiotics called fluoroquinolones and antibiotics called fluoroquinolones and fluoroquinolones is cipro and levaquin fluoroquinolones is cipro and levaquin fluoroquinolones is cipro and levaquin if you guys have ever heard about the if you guys have ever heard about the if you guys have ever heard about the side effects of levaquin if it can cause side effects of levaquin if it can cause side effects of levaquin if it can cause you to tear your Achilles tendon your you to tear your Achilles tendon your you to tear your Achilles tendon your achilles tendon is the tendon on the achilles tendon is the tendon on the achilles tendon is the tendon on the back of your ankle that is actually the back of your ankle that is actually the back of your ankle that is actually the strongest tendon in your entire body so strongest tendon in your entire body so strongest tendon in your entire body so if this fluoroquinolones family has if this fluoroquinolones family has if this fluoroquinolones family has enough power to break down your enough power to break down your enough power to break down your connective tissue enough that it can connective tissue enough that it can connective tissue enough that it can potentially rupture the strongest tendon potentially rupture the strongest tendon potentially rupture the strongest tendon your body think about what that's doing your body think about what that's doing your body think about what that's doing to other parts of your body so this is to other parts of your body so this is to other parts of your body so this is something that is extremely important something that is extremely important something that is extremely important especially if you have a young athlete especially if you have a young athlete especially if you have a young athlete one of your kids is you know this one of your kids is you know this one of your kids is you know this superstar athlete but maybe they keep superstar athlete but maybe they keep superstar athlete but maybe they keep getting strep throat maybe they keep getting strep throat maybe they keep getting strep throat maybe they keep getting upper respiratory infections getting upper respiratory infections getting upper respiratory infections maybe your daughter keeps getting maybe your daughter keeps getting maybe your daughter keeps getting urinary tract infections and you keep urinary tract infections and you keep urinary tract infections and you keep putting them on these antibiotics and putting them on these antibiotics and putting them on these antibiotics and then all of a sudden you're like oh my then all of a sudden you're like oh my then all of a sudden you're like oh my gosh they're injured again oh my gosh gosh they're injured again oh my gosh gosh they're injured again oh my gosh podiatrist you know orthopedic podiatrist you know orthopedic podiatrist you know orthopedic chiropractor and you're just running chiropractor and you're just running chiropractor and you're just running around to all of these different types around to all of these different types around to all of these different types of you know physicians and what the root of you know physicians and what the root of you know physicians and what the root cause is is that their connective tissue cause is is that their connective tissue cause is is that their connective tissue is breaking down because of this is breaking down because of this is breaking down because of this antibiotic sampling so this is very antibiotic sampling so this is very antibiotic sampling so this is very important to take into consideration important to take into consideration important to take into consideration because I find that a lot of young because I find that a lot of young because I find that a lot of young athletes that I work with that are athletes that I work with that are athletes that I work with that are injured it's because of this reason injured it's because of this reason injured it's because of this reason so another thing too is if your pain so another thing too is if your pain so another thing too is if your pain truly is physical and you are trying to truly is physical and you are trying to truly is physical and you are trying to seek out a therapy to get better work seek out a therapy to get better work seek out a therapy to get better work with someone who is going to work on with someone who is going to work on with someone who is going to work on your muscles your ligaments your your muscles your ligaments your your muscles your ligaments your attendance and your joints because your attendance and your joints because your attendance and your joints because your muscles your ligaments or tendons and muscles your ligaments or tendons and muscles your ligaments or tendons and your joints are all working together your joints are all working together your joints are all working together they are all connected so if you go to a they are all connected so if you go to a they are all connected so if you go to a chiropractor that doesn't do muscle work chiropractor that doesn't do muscle work chiropractor that doesn't do muscle work you're going to find that you're really you're going to find that you're really you're going to find that you're really tight spasm muscles are gonna pull you tight spasm muscles are gonna pull you tight spasm muscles are gonna pull you right back out of alignment and if you right back out of alignment and if you right back out of alignment and if you try to address muscles and break up scar try to address muscles and break up scar try to address muscles and break up scar tissue and strengthen but the joint is tissue and strengthen but the joint is tissue and strengthen but the joint is still out of place so the nerves are not still out of place so the nerves are not still out of place so the nerves are not firing to the muscle you're also going firing to the muscle you're also going firing to the muscle you're also going to run into roadblocks or you're gonna to run into roadblocks or you're gonna to run into roadblocks or you're gonna do 75 PT sessions so it's really a do 75 PT sessions so it's really a do 75 PT sessions so it's really a matter of working with someone who matter of working with someone who matter of working with someone who understands both of those pieces and understands both of those pieces and understands both of those pieces and that might be a chiropractor who does that might be a chiropractor who does that might be a chiropractor who does muscle work that might be a osteopath it muscle work that might be a osteopath it muscle work that might be a osteopath it really is up to your preference really is up to your preference really is up to your preference another big piece too is scar tissue another big piece too is scar tissue another big piece too is scar tissue another thing that people are not another thing that people are not another thing that people are not necessarily taking into consideration if necessarily taking into consideration if necessarily taking into consideration if they have an injury they have a tear you they have an injury they have a tear you they have an injury they have a tear you know or they they have you know a know or they they have you know a know or they they have you know a herniation and they have to go get herniation and they have to go get herniation and they have to go get things cleaned up anytime you have a things cleaned up anytime you have a things cleaned up anytime you have a surgical intervention you are going to surgical intervention you are going to surgical intervention you are going to develop scar tissue if you have a develop scar tissue if you have a develop scar tissue if you have a repetitive stress because you were a repetitive stress because you were a repetitive stress because you were a pitcher you are going to have scar pitcher you are going to have scar pitcher you are going to have scar tissue so you need to make sure that tissue so you need to make sure that tissue so you need to make sure that scar tissue is being addressed if you're scar tissue is being addressed if you're scar tissue is being addressed if you're trying to heal your physical pain and trying to heal your physical pain and trying to heal your physical pain and that's actually something that we test that's actually something that we test that's actually something that we test for is we test does you know does this for is we test does you know does this for is we test does you know does this person need something called scar tissue person need something called scar tissue person need something called scar tissue release I can't tell you how many women release I can't tell you how many women release I can't tell you how many women that have had c-sections need their that have had c-sections need their that have had c-sections need their c-section scar to be worked on because c-section scar to be worked on because c-section scar to be worked on because it's actually causing adhesions in their it's actually causing adhesions in their it's actually causing adhesions in their bowels or it's causing adhesions in bowels or it's causing adhesions in bowels or it's causing adhesions in their uterus so this is something that their uterus so this is something that their uterus so this is something that definitely should not be overlooked definitely should not be overlooked definitely should not be overlooked and you really should make sure that and you really should make sure that and you really should make sure that your scar tissue is being addressed and your scar tissue is being addressed and your scar tissue is being addressed and there are a variety of different ways to there are a variety of different ways to there are a variety of different ways to work on that one of them being the work on that one of them being the work on that one of them being the Soundwave therapy that I mentioned and Soundwave therapy that I mentioned and Soundwave therapy that I mentioned and then there are other types of manual then there are other types of manual then there are other types of manual therapies that you could do for scar therapies that you could do for scar therapies that you could do for scar tissue so another thing too is if we've tissue so another thing too is if we've tissue so another thing too is if we've had surgery and we maybe had a had surgery and we maybe had a had surgery and we maybe had a replacement replacement replacement we had a hip replacement we had a knee we had a hip replacement we had a knee we had a hip replacement we had a knee replacement or maybe we broke our collar replacement or maybe we broke our collar replacement or maybe we broke our collar blue collar bone and we had to get a blue collar bone and we had to get a blue collar bone and we had to get a plate in to hold it together and you're plate in to hold it together and you're plate in to hold it together and you're continually having pain in these areas continually having pain in these areas continually having pain in these areas it's not about okay maybe you know I'm it's not about okay maybe you know I'm it's not about okay maybe you know I'm my body is adapting to the surgery or my my body is adapting to the surgery or my my body is adapting to the surgery or my body's still healing you also have to body's still healing you also have to body's still healing you also have to make sure that you're not having an make sure that you're not having an make sure that you're not having an immune response to the materials that immune response to the materials that immune response to the materials that were put into your body because that is were put into your body because that is were put into your body because that is also not uncommon that maybe they put also not uncommon that maybe they put also not uncommon that maybe they put titanium in you or maybe they put some titanium in you or maybe they put some titanium in you or maybe they put some other type of metal and your immune other type of metal and your immune other type of metal and your immune system is having a negative reaction so system is having a negative reaction so system is having a negative reaction so there are many ways that you can there are many ways that you can there are many ways that you can actually test these types of metals to actually test these types of metals to actually test these types of metals to make sure that your body is going to make sure that your body is going to make sure that your body is going to have a positive response and not have a positive response and not have a positive response and not necessarily activate some type of immune necessarily activate some type of immune necessarily activate some type of immune response so the connective tissue response so the connective tissue response so the connective tissue disorders I mentioned that obviously disorders I mentioned that obviously disorders I mentioned that obviously these antibiotics like the cipro and these antibiotics like the cipro and these antibiotics like the cipro and levaquin can definitely play a role but levaquin can definitely play a role but levaquin can definitely play a role but in addition if somebody has something in addition if somebody has something in addition if somebody has something like lupus that they are unaware of that like lupus that they are unaware of that like lupus that they are unaware of that can also be a culprit as to why they're can also be a culprit as to why they're can also be a culprit as to why they're constantly tearing strange constantly tearing strange constantly tearing strange straining spraining etc so if you're straining spraining etc so if you're straining spraining etc so if you're that person that's always getting that person that's always getting that person that's always getting injured you always have soft tissue injured you always have soft tissue injured you always have soft tissue damage you might need to get checked to damage you might need to get checked to damage you might need to get checked to make sure that you don't have some type make sure that you don't have some type make sure that you don't have some type of autoimmune connective tissue tissue of autoimmune connective tissue tissue of autoimmune connective tissue tissue disorder like lupus so that's very very disorder like lupus so that's very very disorder like lupus so that's very very important to take into consideration so important to take into consideration so important to take into consideration so the infections I know that I talked the infections I know that I talked the infections I know that I talked about this a little bit already but for about this a little bit already but for about this a little bit already but for those of you that are new joining us those of you that are new joining us those of you that are new joining us the most common infections that I find the most common infections that I find the most common infections that I find in people's joints one of them is lime in people's joints one of them is lime in people's joints one of them is lime lime the bacteria technically lime the bacteria technically lime the bacteria technically technically called ver Illya the other technically called ver Illya the other technically called ver Illya the other one the most common is strep and yes one the most common is strep and yes one the most common is strep and yes that is the strep that you get in your that is the strep that you get in your that is the strep that you get in your throat strep can get into your lymph throat strep can get into your lymph throat strep can get into your lymph nodes and then it can travel throughout nodes and then it can travel throughout nodes and then it can travel throughout the body through your lymphatic vessels the body through your lymphatic vessels the body through your lymphatic vessels your lymphatic vessels do funnel things your lymphatic vessels do funnel things your lymphatic vessels do funnel things through the body so that's one of the through the body so that's one of the through the body so that's one of the primary ways that it gets into other primary ways that it gets into other primary ways that it gets into other areas and these types of infections areas and these types of infections areas and these types of infections they're choosy where they go they will they're choosy where they go they will they're choosy where they go they will go to an area that is vulnerable so if go to an area that is vulnerable so if go to an area that is vulnerable so if you were a runner or a basketball player you were a runner or a basketball player you were a runner or a basketball player and you do have some damage to your and you do have some damage to your and you do have some damage to your knees because of that or even your hips knees because of that or even your hips knees because of that or even your hips then these bacterias will migrate to then these bacterias will migrate to then these bacterias will migrate to that vulnerable tissue and make that its that vulnerable tissue and make that its that vulnerable tissue and make that its new home so interesting enough to is I new home so interesting enough to is I new home so interesting enough to is I remember doing testing and finding strep remember doing testing and finding strep remember doing testing and finding strep in people's joints and wondering like is in people's joints and wondering like is in people's joints and wondering like is this common because I feel like this is this common because I feel like this is this common because I feel like this is common in my personal practice and common in my personal practice and common in my personal practice and what's interesting is one of our newer what's interesting is one of our newer what's interesting is one of our newer software's that we have that's for all software's that we have that's for all software's that we have that's for all of our electronical men electronical of our electronical men electronical of our electronical men electronical electronic medical records what I was electronic medical records what I was electronic medical records what I was going in putting diagnosis codes in and going in putting diagnosis codes in and going in putting diagnosis codes in and I typed in strep and there was a drop I typed in strep and there was a drop I typed in strep and there was a drop down and down and down and over 50 diagnosis codes for strep in over 50 diagnosis codes for strep in over 50 diagnosis codes for strep in joints so this is definitely not as joints so this is definitely not as joints so this is definitely not as uncommon as people presume it to be so uncommon as people presume it to be so uncommon as people presume it to be so strep is definitely something that you strep is definitely something that you strep is definitely something that you have to take into consideration if you have to take into consideration if you have to take into consideration if you have had joint pain that has not been have had joint pain that has not been have had joint pain that has not been resolved through physical type therapies resolved through physical type therapies resolved through physical type therapies the other big one is epstein-barr virus the other big one is epstein-barr virus the other big one is epstein-barr virus epstein-barr virus is pretty well known epstein-barr virus is pretty well known epstein-barr virus is pretty well known because that is the virus that is known because that is the virus that is known because that

there's a big hormonal change stress or there's a big hormonal change stress or there's a big hormonal change or you have a baby or you're burnt out a or you have a baby or you're burnt out a or you have a baby or you're burnt out a lot of times viruses can reactivate and lot of times viruses can reactivate and lot of times viruses can reactivate and rear their ugly heads and that's rear their ugly heads and that's rear their ugly heads and that's definitely sometimes when you you're definitely sometimes when you you're definitely sometimes when you you're like oh I feel so icky it's really hard like oh I feel so icky it's really hard like oh I feel so icky it's really hard to get out of bed and I'm feeling really to get out of bed and I'm feeling really to get out of bed and I'm feeling

they'll be dormant they'll be active they'll be dormant they'll be active they'll be dormant so it's definitely they'll be dormant so it's definitely they'll be dormant so it's definitely important for you to take these things important for you to take these things important for you to take these things into consideration when you're trying to into consideration when you're trying to into consideration when you're trying to understand what is the root cause of all understand what is the root cause of all understand what is the root cause of all of this so another big one is toxicity of this so another big one is toxicity of this so another big one is toxicity so for those of you listening that are so for those of you listening that are so for those of you listening that are not necessarily new to this world of not necessarily new to this world of not necessarily new to this world of integrative and functional medicine you integrative and functional medicine you integrative and functional medicine you may have already done some research on may have already done some research on may have already done some research on toxicity but a lot of us you know I know toxicity but a lot of us you know I know toxicity but a lot of us you know I know for me it took me time to really for me it took me time to really for me it took me time to really understand it so the capacity that I do understand it so the capacity that I do understand it so the capacity that I do now but we are living in a massively now but we are living in a massively now but we are living in a massively massively toxic world there is toxins massively toxic world there is toxins massively toxic world there is toxins and everything we eat everything we put and everything we eat everything we put and everything we eat everything we put on our body our nail polish our hair dye on our body our nail polish our hair dye on our body our nail polish our hair dye our makeup it's on our plate sits on our our makeup it's on our plate sits on our our makeup it's on our plate sits on our pot sits on our pans like it's crazy but pot sits on our pans like it's crazy but pot sits on our pans like it's crazy but I will say to you is that and I'm saying I will say to you is that and I'm saying I will say to you is that and I'm saying this to you because this is one of the this to you because this is one of the this to you because this is one of the things that my patients say things that my patients say things that my patients say they're like thank you so much for they're like thank you so much for they're like thank you so much for easing my mind and what I explain to my easing my mind and what I explain to my easing my mind and what I explain to my patients is that if you take the very patients is that if you take the very patients is that if you take the very very simple concept of a vacuum if you very simple concept of a vacuum if you very simple concept of a vacuum if you have a vacuum that has a filter and you have a vacuum that has a filter and you have a vacuum that has a filter and you keep using your vacuum your filter is keep using your vacuum your filter is keep using your vacuum your filter is gonna get more and more full and it just gonna get more and more full and it just gonna get more and more full and it just makes sense that eventually when the makes sense that eventually when the makes sense that eventually when the filter is full you dump the filter and filter is full you dump the filter and filter is full you dump the filter and then you keep using your vacuum but we then you keep using your vacuum but we then you keep using your vacuum but we don't apply that principle to our bodies don't apply that principle to our bodies don't apply that principle to our bodies and our bodies are designed to filter and our bodies are designed to filter and our bodies are designed to filter out bad stuff and that's everything from out bad stuff and that's everything from out bad stuff and that's everything from infections to toxins to mold all that infections to toxins to mold all that infections to toxins to mold all that stuff but we call it aging but really stuff but we call it aging but really stuff but we call it aging but really what's happening over time is that our what's happening over time is that our what's happening over time is that our filters are getting more and more full filters are getting more and more full filters are getting more and more full they're getting clogged one of the or they're getting clogged one of the or they're getting clogged one of the or three of the major filtration systems of three of the major filtration systems of three of the major filtration systems of the body is the liver the kidneys and the body is the liver the kidneys and the body is the liver the kidneys and the lymphatic system technically your the lymphatic system technically your the lymphatic system technically your tonsils as well and your livers also tonsils as well and your livers also tonsils as well and your livers also attached to your gallbladder by the way attached to your gallbladder by the way attached to your gallbladder by the way so think about how many people get their so think about how many people get their so think about how many people get their tonsils removed how many people get tonsils removed how many people get tonsils removed how many people get their gallbladder removed technically their gallbladder removed technically their gallbladder removed technically your appendix as a filter how many your appendix as a filter how many your appendix as a filter how many people get their appendix removed so people get their appendix removed so people get their appendix removed so we're actually just removing these we're actually just removing these we're actually just removing these filtration systems when they get really filtration systems when they get really filtration systems when they get really full opposed to using the principles of full opposed to using the principles of full opposed to using the principles of let's clean it out so it's very let's clean it out so it's very let's clean it out so it's very important that if you were all gonna be important that if you were all gonna be important that if you were all gonna be exposed to chemicals you can't live in a exposed to chemicals you can't live in a exposed to chemicals you can't live in a bubble you can't run away to an island bubble you can't run away to an island bubble you can't run away to an island it's everywhere but if you can maintain it's everywhere but if you can maintain it's everywhere but if you can maintain your body's ability to filter the bad your body's ability to filter the bad your body's ability to filter the bad stuff out you don't have to worry you stuff out you don't have to worry you stuff out you don't have to worry you don't have to be living in fear and be don't have to be living in fear and be don't have to be living in fear and be super anxious and you know have your super anxious and you know have your super anxious and you know have your kids like spray them down with hand kids like spray them down with hand kids like spray them down with hand sanitizer it's really really important sanitizer it's really really important sanitizer it's really really important for you to understand that it's not that for you to understand that it's not that for you to understand that it's not that complicated it's just a matter of trying complicated it's just a matter of trying complicated it's just a matter of trying to keep the filters maintained and also to keep the filters maintained and also to keep the filters maintained and also there is a genetic layer here because there is a genetic layer here because there is a genetic layer here because what I mean by that is think about the what I mean by that is think about the what I mean by that is think about the people that drink like 40 cups of coffee people that drink like 40 cups of coffee people that drink like 40 cups of coffee in a day and they have zero issues in a day and they have zero issues in a day and they have zero issues they're like oh my gosh they're like oh my gosh they're like oh my gosh it doesn't even faze me I can go right it doesn't even faze me I can go right it doesn't even faze me I can go right to bed to bed to bed and then there's another person that and then there's another person that and then there's another person that drinks one cup of coffee and their wires drinks one cup of coffee and their wires drinks one cup of coffee and their wires are like 30 hours so that has to do with are like 30 hours so that has to do with are like 30 hours so that has to do with the genetic makeup of your liver so that the genetic makeup of your liver so that the genetic makeup of your liver so that means you're either an over metabolizer means you're either an over metabolizer means you're either an over metabolizer aka your body is chewing up and spitting aka your body is chewing up and spitting aka your body is chewing up and spitting out the caffeine or you're an under out the caffeine or you're an under out the caffeine or you're an under metabolizer meaning that your your liver metabolizer meaning that your your liver metabolizer meaning that your your liver can't really process it so this applies can't really process it so this applies can't really process it so this applies to all of your filtration systems some to all of your filtration systems some to all of your filtration systems some people have weak or kidneys hence those people have weak or kidneys hence those people have weak or kidneys hence those are the people that have kidney stones are the people that have kidney stones are the people that have kidney stones and their family some people have a and their family some people have a and their family some people have a weaker lymphatic system these are the weaker lymphatic system these are the weaker lymphatic system these are the people that get a lot of swelling they people that get a lot of swelling they people that get a lot of swelling they get varicose veins they have denser get varicose veins they have denser get varicose veins they have denser fibrocystic breasts these are all signs fibrocystic breasts these are all signs fibrocystic breasts these are all signs of lymphatic congestion or you can't of lymphatic congestion or you can't of lymphatic congestion or you can't lose weight that's another big one so lose weight that's another big one so lose weight that's another big one so it's definitely key to understand how it's definitely key to understand how it's definitely key to understand how the body works because if you understand the body works because if you understand the body works because if you understand that the healing process is actually not that the healing process is actually not that the healing process is actually not that difficult so there are over 55,000 that difficult so there are over 55,000 that difficult so there are over 55,000 chemicals that are released every month chemicals that are released every month chemicals that are released every month only 15 of those are actually tested for only 15 of those are actually tested for only 15 of those are actually tested for safety yeah that's for real safety yeah that's for real safety yeah that's for real that's scary another big one that is that's scary another big one that is that's scary another big one that is completely off of people's radar when it completely off of people's radar when it completely off of people's radar when it comes to joints is mold and the crazy comes to joints is mold and the crazy comes to joints is mold and the crazy thing about mold is that mold can come thing about mold is that mold can come thing about mold is that mold can come from a water damage building but most from a water damage building but most from a water damage building but most people don't know if they're being people don't know if they're being people don't know if they're being exposed to mold in their environment exposed to mold in their environment exposed to mold in their environment then there's also a lot of mold and food then there's also a lot of mold and food then there's also a lot of mold and food so everything from cheese blue cheese so everything from cheese blue cheese so everything from cheese blue cheese that blue stuff is mold wine coffee all that blue stuff is mold wine coffee all that blue stuff is mold wine coffee all of these things peanut butter hi mold of these things peanut butter hi mold of these things peanut butter hi mold foods then on top of that one of the foods then on top of that one of the foods then on top of that one of the questions I always ask my patients have questions I always ask my patients have questions I always ask my patients have you been exposed to mold no no no no you been exposed to mold no no no no you been exposed to mold no no no no possible way never been exposed to mold possible way never been exposed to mold possible way never been exposed to mold mice follow-up question is are you mice follow-up question is are you mice follow-up question is are you allergic to penicillin amoxicillin or allergic to penicillin amoxicillin or allergic to penicillin amoxicillin or ampicillin oh yeah I've been allergic to ampicillin oh yeah I've been allergic to ampicillin oh yeah I've been allergic to penicillin since I was 2 I was like penicillin since I was 2 I was like penicillin since I was 2 I was like you've been moldy since you were 2 you've been moldy since you were 2 you've been moldy since you were 2 because penicillin and amoxicillin because penicillin and amoxicillin because penicillin and amoxicillin anything in the cylinder anything in the cylinder anything in the cylinder antibiotics are made from Penicillium antibiotics are made from Penicillium antibiotics are made from Penicillium which is mold so mold is something that which is mold so mold is something that which is mold so mold is something that you can get exposed to you can get exposed to you can get exposed to environment from food as well as from environment from food as well as from environment from food as well as from antibiotics so mold is not as uncommon antibiotics so mold is not as uncommon antibiotics so mold is not as uncommon as people think and in addition if you as people think and in addition if you as people think and in addition if you look up the symptoms of mold toxicity look up the symptoms of mold toxicity look up the symptoms of mold toxicity and you compare it to the symptoms of and you compare it to the symptoms of and you compare it to the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis you will find that rheumatoid arthritis you will find that rheumatoid arthritis you will find that they almost are identical so it is very they almost are identical so it is very they almost are identical so it is very very important for you to rule in or out very important for you to rule in or out very important for you to rule in or out is mold part of your puzzle when it is mold part of your puzzle when it is mold part of your puzzle when it comes to rheumatoid arthritis so outside comes to rheumatoid arthritis so outside comes to rheumatoid arthritis so outside of mold when it comes to the other of mold when it comes to the other of mold when it comes to the other

coincided came and went and it usually coincided came and went and it usually coincided with when the joints were really flaring with when the joints were really flaring with when the joints were really flaring so to break this down and make this all so to break this down and make this all so to break this down and make this all significant so we talked about strep and significant so we talked about strep and significant so we talked about strep and infections being part of the puzzles for infections being part of the puzzles for infections being part of the puzzles for these types of joint issues and these types of joint issues and these types of joint issues and conditions like rheumatoid arthritis so conditions like rheumatoid arthritis so conditions like rheumatoid arthritis so this person they were told that their this person they were told that their this person they were told that their sore throats were not strep but my sore throats were not strep but my sore throats were not strep but my testing showed that their sore throats testing showed that their sore throats testing showed that their sore throats were strapped because all the strep was were strapped because all the strep was were strapped because all the strep was still in all of the lymph nodes of the still in all of the lymph nodes of the still in all of the lymph nodes of the neck and that was also in the joints neck and that was also in the joints neck and that was also in the joints then on top of it all the antibiotic use then on top of it all the antibiotic use then on top of it all the antibiotic use weakened the connective tissue which weakened the connective tissue which weakened the connective tissue which caused a lot of the injuries so then the caused a lot of the injuries so then the caused a lot of the injuries so then the injury is caused a lot of the scar injury is caused a lot of the scar injury is caused a lot of the scar tissue and that created a whole nother tissue and that created a whole nother tissue and that created a whole nother array of type of or a whole nother facet array of type of or a whole nother facet array of type of or a whole nother facet to the joint

pesticides that were in the water in the air in the that were in the water in the air in the that were in the water in the air in the soil and then the eczema so the eczema soil and then the eczema so the eczema soil and then the eczema so the eczema was interesting because the eczema was was interesting because the eczema was was interesting because the eczema was tied to some of the antibiotic

back it wasn't eczema it was actually psoriasis and the person based off of my psoriasis and the person based off of my psoriasis and the person based off of my testing didn't really have rheumatoid testing didn't really have rheumatoid testing didn't really have rheumatoid arthritis actually had the early stages arthritis actually had the early stages arthritis actually had the early stages of psoriatic arthropathy which is of psoriatic arthropathy which is of psoriatic arthropathy which is psoriatic arthritis so this is really psoriatic arthritis so this is really psoriatic arthritis so this is really important because a lot of times they important because a lot of times they important because a lot of times they when the testing is not super when the testing is not super when the testing is not super black-and-white maybe your rheumatoid black-and-white maybe your rheumatoid black-and-white maybe your rheumatoid factor is borderline and they don't factor is borderline and they don't factor is borderline and they don't really know what's going on they'll just really know what's going on they'll just really know what's going on they'll just say will you have rheumatoid that's the say will you have rheumatoid that's the say will you have rheumatoid that's the only thing that it can be because that's only thing that it can be because that's only thing that it can be because that's the what your symptoms look like but it the what your symptoms look like but it the what your symptoms look like but it easily can be something else easily can be something else easily can be something else so it's just very important for you to so it's just very important for you to so it's just very important for you to kind of understand that your diagnosis kind of understand that your diagnosis kind of understand that your diagnosis is not necessarily a definitive and it's is not necessarily a definitive and it's is not necessarily a definitive and it's not necessarily going to be the end-all not necessarily going to be the end-all not necessarily going to be the end-all be-all and it's not about one thing this be-all and it's not about one thing this be-all and it's not about one thing this person had a cascade of things that led person had a cascade of things that led person had a cascade of things that led them down the road of having them down the road of having them down the road of having these issues and having the psoriatic these issues and having the psoriatic these issues and having the psoriatic arthritis arthritis arthritis this was toxicity related this was this was toxicity related this was this was toxicity related this was antibiotic related antibiotic related antibiotic related this was infection related and this this was infection related and this this was infection related and this person it was very fascinating because person it was very fascinating because person it was very fascinating because they actually didn't have Lyme disease they actually didn't have Lyme disease they actually didn't have Lyme disease they had strep as an infection but also they had strep as an infection but also they had strep as an infection but also ended up having syphilis in their system ended up having syphilis in their system ended up having syphilis in their system and I actually just did a podcast about and I actually just did a podcast about and I actually just did a podcast about this because first of all everybody this because first of all everybody this because first of all everybody thinks syphilis is strictly sexually thinks syphilis is strictly sexually thinks syphilis is strictly sexually transmitted it is not by the way transmitted it is not by the way transmitted it is not by the way syphilis is very very very similar to syphilis is very very very similar to syphilis is very very very similar to Lyme disease under a microscope and Lyme disease under a microscope and Lyme disease under a microscope and syphilis is also known as the great syphilis is also known as the great syphilis is also known as the great imitator of psoriasis so if you have imitator of psoriasis so if you have imitator of psoriasis so if you have psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis get psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis get psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis get tested for syphilis because that might tested for syphilis because that might tested for syphilis because that might be part of the puzzle be part of the puzzle be part of the puzzle so with this story and my previous story so with this story and my previous story so with this story and my previous story the point of me telling you that is this the point of me telling you that is this the point of me telling you that is this is that you don't know you don't know is that you

bad immune system that's not what a bad immune system that's not what a bad immune system that's not what happens your body has stressors that it happens your body has stressors that it happens your body has stressors that it reacts to so it's very important for us reacts to so it's very important for us reacts to so it's very important for us to just not settle let's not settle for to just not settle let's not settle for to just not settle let's not settle for this inflammatory diagnosis and let's this inflammatory diagnosis and let's this inflammatory diagnosis and let's not settle for just saying I'm going to not settle for just saying I'm going to not settle for just saying I'm going to shut down my immune system with shut down my immune system with shut down my immune system with immunosuppressants it's a matter of immunosuppressants it's a matter of immunosuppressants it's a matter of knowing that there are other knowing that there are other knowing that there are other alternatives out there and to really alternatives out there and to really alternatives out there and to really stop just accepting this as my normal stop just accepting this as my normal stop just accepting this as my normal okay I'm just going to navigate around okay I'm just going to navigate around okay I'm just going to navigate around it so a lot of us you know I know feel it so a lot of us you know I know feel it so a lot of us you know I know feel that were not really in control and at that were not really in control and at that were not really in control and at the end of the day if you understand the the end of the day if you understand the the end of the day if you understand the root cause of your pain of your root cause of your pain of your root cause of your pain of your rheumatoid arthritis of your rheumatoid arthritis of your rheumatoid arthritis of your fibromyalgia of whatever it is then fibromyalgia of whatever it is then fibromyalgia of whatever it is then anything is possible because the first anything is possible because the first anything is possible because the first step is knowing what is the actual root step is knowing what is the actual root step is knowing what is the actual root cause and as you can see with the some cause and as you can see with the some cause and as you can see with the some of the stories I've told you is that of the stories I've told you is that of the stories I've told you is that very rarely is the root cause matching a very rarely is the root cause matching a very rarely is the root cause matching a textbook very rarely does your blood textbook very rarely does your blood textbook very rarely does your blood work back should match the textbook very work back should match the textbook very work back should match the textbook very rarely do your symptoms match the rarely do your symptoms match the rarely do your symptoms match the textbook so if you don't look like the textbook so if you don't look like the textbook so if you don't look like the textbook we can't use the textbook textbook we can't use the textbook textbook we can't use the textbook protocol we need to think outside of the protocol we need to think outside of the protocol we need to think outside of the textbook because your body is going to textbook because your body is going to textbook because your body is going to have a completely different set of needs have a completely different set of needs have a completely different set of needs and it's going to need a completely and it's going to need a completely and it's going to need a completely different protocol than someone else who different protocol than someone else who different protocol than someone else who potentially has the same diagnosis so potentially has the same diagnosis so potentially has the same diagnosis so with that when it comes to how do we with that when it comes to how do we with that when it comes to how do we figure all of this out that's always figure all of this out that's always figure all of this out that's always people's questions like okay what like people's questions like okay what like people's questions like okay what like what is all this crazy testing that you what is all this crazy testing that you what is all this crazy testing that you guys do so I want to first of all before guys do so I want to first of all before guys do so I want to first of all before I go into that clarify the difference I go into that clarify the difference I go into that clarify the difference between functional and integrative between functional and integrative between functional and integrative medicine because I know that there is medicine because I know that there is medicine because I know that there is confusion and people don't understand confusion and people don't understand confusion and people don't understand like the difference and some people are like the difference and some people are like the difference and some people are brand-new to the idea of either one so brand-new to the idea of either one so brand-new to the idea of either one so functional medicine is an amazing functional medicine is an amazing functional medicine is an amazing modality and it is something that that's modality and it is something that that's modality and it is something that that's where I started as a physician as I where I started as a physician as I where I started as a physician as I started doing functional medicine I did started doing functional medicine I did started doing functional medicine I did a lot of testing stool samples saliva a lot of testing stool samples saliva a lot of testing stool samples saliva samples nasal swabs inflammatory tests samples nasal swabs inflammatory tests samples nasal swabs inflammatory tests blood work I did all of it and then I blood work I did all of it and then I blood work I did all of it and then I had to kind of hope that I would have had to kind of hope that I would have had to kind of hope that I would have enough information to be able to then enough information to be able to then enough information to be able to then set you up with a protocol but the set you up with a protocol but the set you up with a protocol but the protocol was diet and supplement related protocol was diet and supplement related protocol was diet and supplement related and as I saw boys with that approach I and as I saw boys with that approach I and as I saw boys with that approach I moved into this integrative medicine moved into this integrative medicine moved into this integrative medicine sector which is going to use more sector which is going to use more sector which is going to use more elaborate testing to dig deeper and also elaborate testing to dig deeper and also elaborate testing to dig deeper and also to then be able to set up a way to heal to then be able to set up a way to heal to then be able to set up a way to heal that is beyond just diet and supplements that is beyond just diet and supplements that is beyond just diet and supplements and it's looking at does your body need and it's looking at does your body need and it's looking at does your body need physical work does your body need physical work does your body need physical work does your body need neurological work do we need to help to neurological work do we need to help to neurological work do we need to help to improve your blood flow to your brain improve your blood flow to your brain improve your blood flow to your brain because that's causing your pain do we because that's causing your pain do we because that's causing your pain do we need to balance your blood sugar because need to balance your blood sugar because need to balance your blood sugar because that's causing your inflammation we need that's causing your inflammation we need that's causing your inflammation we need to look at all of those factors and make to look at all of those factors and make to look at all of those factors and make sure that we're not wasting time and sure that we're not wasting time and sure that we're not wasting time and money essentially what if my stressors money essentially what if my stressors money essentially what if my stressors were addressed and tested but the were addressed and tested but the were addressed and tested but the rheumatoid factor is still high then rheumatoid factor is still high then rheumatoid factor is still high then they just haven't figured out what is they just haven't figured out what is they just haven't figured out what is the foundational problem when and I the foundational problem when and I the foundational problem when and I don't know how long you've been on don't know how long you've been on don't know how long you've been on Highview Highview Highview but if you listened to the piece about but if you listened to the piece about but if you listened to the piece about the filtration systems and your detox the filtration systems and your detox the filtration systems and your detox pathways that might be playing a role pathways that might be playing a role pathways that might be playing a role because you might not be able to get because you might not be able to get because you might not be able to get things out of your body that are things out of your body that are things out of your body that are actually causing inflammation and this actually causing inflammation and this actually causing inflammation and this is gonna cut me off guys that are on is gonna cut me off guys that are on is gonna cut me off guys that are on Instagram live I only have 45 seconds Instagram live I only have 45 seconds Instagram live I only have 45 seconds left I'm here cuz it cuts me off but if left I'm here cuz it cuts me off but if left I'm here cuz it cuts me off but if you do want the full webinar send me a you do want the full webinar send me a you do want the full webinar send me a direct message with your email and I direct message with your email and I direct message with your email and I will get you the full webinar and then will get you the full webinar and then will get you the full webinar and then you guys can also set up a strategy call you guys can also set up a strategy call you guys can also set up a strategy call with our team if you have more questions with our team if you have more questions with our team if you have more questions so but thank you for being with us and so but thank you for being with us and so but thank you for being with us and thanks for asking really good questions thanks for asking really good questions thanks for asking really good questions okay guys on my webinar so with that okay guys on my webinar so with that okay guys on my webinar so with that being said when it comes to the testing being said when it comes to the testing being said when it comes to the testing so I used to do all of those tests that so I used to do all of those tests that so I used to do all of those tests that I mentioned stool samples saliva tests I mentioned stool samples saliva tests I mentioned stool samples saliva tests etc and none of those are covered by etc and none of those are covered by etc and none of those are covered by insurance by the way and I felt I didn't insurance by the way and I felt I didn't insurance by the way and I felt I didn't feel good about having someone come in feel good about having someone come in feel good about having someone come in and then giving them a variety of and then giving them a variety of and then giving them a variety of different kits that cost thousands of different kits that cost thousands of different kits that cost thousands of dollars that potentially could or could dollars that potentially could or could dollars that potentially could or could not give me information so we shifted not give me information so we shifted not give me information so we shifted how we do things and I'm gonna talk more how we do things and I'm gonna talk more how we do things and I'm gonna talk more about some of the technologies that we about some of the technologies that we about some of the technologies that we use and when it comes to our practice we use and when it comes to our practice we use and when it comes to our practice we really have aimed to keep our testing really have aimed to keep our testing really have aimed to keep our testing costs as low as possible costs as low as possible costs as low as possible so that you can actually spend money on so that you can actually spend money on so that you can actually spend money on getting better but because of getting better but because of getting better but because of way that we look at the body and because way that we look at the body and because way that we look at the body and because we want to ask better questions spend we want to ask better questions spend we want to ask better questions spend time with you dig deeper we cannot time with you dig deeper we cannot time with you dig deeper we cannot necessarily work with insurance necessarily work with insurance necessarily work with insurance companies because we choose to serve you companies because we choose to serve you companies because we choose to serve you we don't necessarily choose to serve the we don't necessarily choose to serve the we don't necessarily choose to serve the insurance company because if we serve to insurance company because if we serve to insurance company because if we serve to them we would only be able to spend them we would only be able to spend them we would only be able to spend approximately 15 minutes with you so approximately 15 minutes with you so approximately 15 minutes with you so overall I know that that's not always overall I know that that's not always overall I know that that's not always you know everyone's favorite thing to you know everyone's favorite thing to you know everyone's favorite thing to hear but I promise you this will be the hear but I promise you this will be the hear but I promise you this will be the most well spent money that you have ever most well spent money that you have ever most well spent money that you have ever invested in yourself you will be able to invested in yourself you will be able to invested in yourself you will be able to get clarity you will walk away being get clarity you will walk away being get clarity you will walk away being like I know exactly what's going on with like I know exactly what's going on with like I know exactly what's going on with my body my body my body but you will also be able to walk away but you will also be able to walk away but you will also be able to walk away with a plan that is going to give you with a plan that is going to give you with a plan that is going to give you results in less than three months which results in less than three months which results in less than three months which is unheard of so definitely it is is unheard of so definitely it is is unheard of so definitely it is something to look further into but we do something to look further into but we do something to look further into but we do accept FSA's HSAs accept FSA's HSAs accept FSA's HSAs and then also most people get great and then also most people get great and then also most people get great reimbursement for their out of network reimbursement for their out of network reimbursement for their out of network coverage and you know I think one of the coverage and you know I think one of the coverage and you know I think one of the things we also forget when we're talking things we also forget when we're talking things we also forget when we're talking about this insurance conversation as you about this insurance conversation as you about this insurance conversation as you know we forget that health cares about know we forget that health cares about know we forget that health cares about answers and solutions and we settle for answers and solutions and we settle for answers and solutions and we settle for like okay I didn't have to pay a lot I like okay I didn't have to pay a lot I like okay I didn't have to pay a lot I went and you know I had either it was went and you know I had either it was went and you know I had either it was free or I paid my copay and we almost free or I paid my copay and we almost free or I paid my copay and we almost like allow for us to walk away without like allow for us to walk away without like allow for us to walk away without any answers and then we walk away with any answers and then we walk away with any answers and then we walk away with the only solution being a medication or the only solution being a medication or the only solution being a medication or surgery and I think that we need to surgery and I think that we need to surgery and I think that we need to start asking more we need to demand more start asking more we need to demand more start asking more we need to demand more out of our health care because this is out of our health care because this is out of our health care because this is especially in this pain world this is especially in this pain world this is especially in this pain world this is what's getting our children into trouble what's getting our children into trouble what's getting our children into trouble this is the Adem ik of heroin right now this is the Adem ik of heroin right now this is the Adem ik of heroin right now these painkillers are making our kids these painkillers are making our kids these painkillers are making our kids addicted and then they're seeking out addicted and then they're seeking out addicted and then they're seeking out the same high on the street this is a the same high on the street this is a the same high on the street this is a very very scary thing and from my home very very scary thing and from my home very very scary thing and from my home town I have heard of thirty people that town I have heard of thirty people that town I have heard of thirty people that had died from heroin overdose and these had died from heroin overdose and these had died from heroin overdose and these are people that I I knew from school are people that I I knew from school are people that I I knew from school that were jocks and varsity football that were jocks and varsity football that were jocks and varsity football players like these are people that I players like these are people that I players like these are people that I remember going wakeboarding with them remember going wakeboarding with them remember going wakeboarding with them and like they were a and like they were a and like they were a amazing people that had an injury were amazing people that had an injury were amazing people that had an injury were put on painkillers and it spiraled so put on painkillers and it spiraled so put on painkillers and it spiraled so it's very dear to my heart for people to it's very dear

some of the options there and these are some of the options there and these are some of the options so when it comes to our style of testing so when it comes to our style of testing so when it comes to our style of testing is we do very elaborate bloodwork we run is we do very elaborate bloodwork we run is we do very elaborate bloodwork we run rheumatoid markers we do the metrascan rheumatoid markers we do the metrascan rheumatoid markers we do the metrascan we look at you know psoriatic markers we we look at you know psoriatic markers we we look at you know psoriatic markers we look at inflammatory markers we look at look at inflammatory markers we look at look at inflammatory markers we look at all that great stuff but we also use all that great stuff but we also use all that great

I've never paid that much can't you know I've never paid that much can't you know I've never paid that much for my healthcare trust me if you go to for my healthcare trust me if you go to for my healthcare trust me if you go to other facilities you are going to go in other facilities you are going to go in other facilities you are going to go in at your two three four hundred dollar at your two three four hundred dollar at your two three four hundred dollar consultation fee you will walk out with consultation fee you will walk out with consultation fee you will walk out with anywhere between two to four thousand anywhere between two to four thousand anywhere between two to four thousand dollars of kits that you need to dollars of kits that you need to dollars of kits that you need to complete to get answers so like I said complete to get answers so like I said complete to get answers so like I said before I didn't love doing that also I before I didn't love doing that also I before I didn't love doing that also I was looking for Diagnostics that were was looking for Diagnostics that were was looking for Diagnostics that were more specific so I actually want to show more specific so I actually want to show more specific so I actually want to show you guys one of the Diagnostics because you guys one of the Diagnostics because you guys one of the Diagnostics because it's my personal favorite technology and it's my personal favorite technology and it's my personal favorite technology and it literally has absolutely transformed it literally has absolutely transformed it literally has absolutely transformed how I how I work with my clients and how I how I work with my clients and how I how I work with my clients and also the results that they get so I'm also the results that they get so I'm also the results that they get so I'm going to show you the guys this really going to show you the guys this really going to show you the guys this really quick I cannot speak as I show you but quick I cannot speak as I show you but quick I cannot speak as I show you but it's just gonna be about 15 seconds let me try that one more time okay technical difficulties but I will okay technical difficulties but I will okay technical difficulties but I will just explain because you saw the visual just explain because you saw the visual just explain because you saw the visual so you obviously saw the cross-section so you obviously saw the cross-section so you obviously saw the cross-section of the face which was representative of of the face which was representative of of the face which was representative of the sinuses so the picture is obviously the sinuses so the picture is obviously the sinuses so the picture is obviously not a photo of an actual patient but the not a photo of an actual patient but the not a photo of an actual patient but the photo is there but all of those icons photo is there but all of those icons photo is there but all of those icons that were overlapping on the photo there that were overlapping on the photo there that were overlapping on the photo there was yellow there was red there were all was yellow there was red there were all was yellow there was red there were all these different colors those icons these different colors those icons these different colors those icons populate as it scans you down to your populate as it scans you down to your populate as it scans you down to your DNA level so what's happening is those DNA level so what's happening is those DNA level so what's happening is those icons all have different interpretations icons all have different interpretations icons all have different interpretations so it actually gives you an idea of so it actually gives you an idea of so it actually gives you an idea of where dysfunction is and then it also where dysfunction is and then it also where dysfunction is and then it also has the ability to tell you what is has the ability to tell you what is has the ability to tell you what is causing the dysfunction so is it causing the dysfunction so is it causing the dysfunction so is it rheumatoid arthritis and is there an rheumatoid arthritis and is there an rheumatoid arthritis and is there an association with some type of infection association with some type of infection association with some type of infection or toxin or allergy that is causing it or toxin or allergy that is causing it or toxin or allergy that is causing it so the information is literally so the information is literally so the information is literally populated within minutes as it scans you populated within minutes as it scans you populated within minutes as it scans you and it is always always right so kind of and it is always always right so kind of and it is always always right so kind of interesting I had one of our friends interesting I had one of our friends interesting I had one of our friends who's also a client she got an who's also a client she got an who's also a client she got an ultrasound her gastroenterologist wanted ultrasound her gastroenterologist wanted ultrasound her gastroenterologist wanted her to get an ultrasound because she was her to get an ultrasound because she was her to get an ultrasound because she was having a lot of gut problems and I having a lot of gut problems and I having a lot of gut problems and I talked to her and I was like you having talked to her and I was like you having talked to her and I was like you having coli I know you do because of what coli I know you do because of what coli I know you do because of what you're describing and she's like really you're describing and she's like really you're describing and she's like really she's like they didn't find it you know she's like they didn't find it you know she's like they didn't find it you know on the scope and I was like I can on the scope and I was like I can on the scope and I was like I can guarantee you have it so she came guarantee you have it so she came guarantee you have it so she came earlier so you know as as much as like I earlier so you know as as much as like I earlier so you know as as much as like I see it on a day-to-day basis it's just see it on a day-to-day basis it's just see it on a day-to-day basis it's just amazing when you have it just line up so amazing when you have it just line up so amazing when you have it just line up so perfectly um but I was actually able to perfectly um but I was actually able to perfectly um but I was actually able to use the technology to tell her what was use the technology to tell her what was use the technology to tell her what was causing the sludge and the polyps etc so causing the sludge and the polyps etc so causing the sludge and the polyps etc so otherwise the ultrasound just said you otherwise the ultrasound just said you otherwise the ultrasound just said you have sludge you have inflammation and have sludge you have inflammation and have sludge you have inflammation and her solution was get your gallbladder her solution was get your gallbladder her solution was get your gallbladder out and it's been a few days and she's out and it's been a few days and she's out and it's been a few days and she's actually doing amazing so so the body is actually doing amazing so so the body is actually doing amazing so so the body is just so fascinating when you give it the just so fascinating when you give it the just so fascinating when you give it the right tools and the healing processes right tools and the healing processes right tools and the healing processes actually can be quite fast actually can be quite fast actually can be quite fast okay so um I'm actually I always forget okay so um I'm actually I always forget okay so um I'm actually I always forget to do this but if you guys want to hop to do this but if you guys want to hop to do this but if you guys want to hop on a strategy call

other really amazing thing is works the other really amazing thing is that the onboarding process can actually that the onboarding process can actually that the onboarding process can actually be done from a distance and the reason be done from a distance and the reason be done from a distance and the reason is is that a lot of our tests that we do is is that a lot of our tests that we do is is that a lot of our tests that we do our DNA base you have DNA in your hair our DNA base you have DNA in your hair our DNA base you have DNA in your hair so if you actually send us a hair sample so if you actually send us a hair sample so if you actually send us a hair sample we have the ability to do the testing on we have the ability to do the testing on we have the ability to do the testing on your hair and if you do opt to do your hair and if you do opt to do your hair and if you do opt to do treatment on you we actually offer treatment on you we actually offer treatment on you we actually
