🔙 BACK to where it all began.

We may as well talk about a major life leap on a leap day (February 29).

This small business was born in Thailand over a margarita (or two) in January 2020.

I’d just had my first taste of what it was like to do health consults online, while traveling the world. A far cry from the 4 small walls of my chiropractic office.

I was only halfway through my functional medicine studies but the results I was getting with my chiropractic clients (from a whole other country, mind you) were insane. Why? I was implementing everything Stewart taught me. This s**t actually worked…

I decided to go all in.

I had a meeting with my web guy, secured some domain names & boldly asked Stewart if he would help me bring functional medicine to Australia.

He seemed interested but didn’t say yes right away. I flew back to Aus & he left me hanging!

The funny thing was that Stewart had flown to Thailand via Wuhan. I remember asking him, “Where’s that?!”.

LOL !!

Little did we know that Wuhan would soon be alllll over the news & his return flight to London was canceled indefinitely… forcing him to land in Australia instead.

Lucky me :)

Some would say 2020 was not the best time to start a business…

For us? We haven’t looked back.🍸

Th1 Symptoms [SAVE this post] ↗️

Not all inflammation presents the same way.

In order to reverse chronic inflammation, you first need to know if you’re Th1, Th2 or Th17.

Th1 clients present with a catabolic breakdown of their tissues. It’s for this reason they end up with recurrent musculoskeletal injuries, inability to gain muscle & a leaky gut.

Th1 clients seldom get sick as they have a hypervigilant 1mmun£ system. That is the benefit of Th1.

The disadvantage? When this system is dominant your body will start to break itself down, even to the point of getting auto1mmun£ disease.

❌ Supplements like echinacea & medicinal mushrooms can make Th1 dominance WORSE.

To find out why you might be stuck in Th1, and how you can reverse it, check out our Functional Medicine Foundations Course which is on SALE now for just $97 (save 400!). 🔥🔥🔥

Don’t miss out! It’s never at this price any other time of year.

🤔 Hmm.

Is this the ticket to freedom?

3 Questions you NEED to be asking your clients:

1️⃣ Do you have allergies?
2️⃣ Do you have asthma?
3️⃣ Do you have acid reflux?

These questions ultimately CHANGED my career as a chiropractor.

These questions help you understand your client’s immune system and the very thing that’s driving their inflammation and pain to stay put.

👉 Have you ever wondered why some people think turmeric is the “bees knees” and why other people say it doesn’t do s**t?

👉 Why do some patients respond well to steroid injections, and others don’t?

👉 What about those chronic patients with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis?
I’ve helped mine find MORE relief VIRTUALLY, rather than being hands-on in the clinic.

How??!

❤️ You’ll find all the answers in the bio. ☝️20% OFF - expires soon.

This course honestly changed my life.

It’s a complete GAME-CHANGER.

NOW is the time to get AHEAD of the game and be better than the “average practitioner”. 🏃‍♀️

I know you’re guilty of doing this👇

“Oh I’ll just make one trip from the car, it’s only for 30 seconds.”

“My back hurts when I sit for too long, but I straighten up after a while”.

Bad habits.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Repeated over and over again.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then BOOM 💥! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You get pain that suddenly comes out of “nowhere”.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Be mindful of what habits are not serving you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉 Be warned of the straw that breaks the 🐫‘s back: What straw will it take? The consequences often arrive LEAST when you expect it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💚 Change your habits, change your life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I BET YOU…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That no one ever told you this before, amirite?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Disc degeneration is an autoimmune process. 🦠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I went through 5 YEARS of university and a DECADE of private practice before even knowing such a thing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To be fair, this is 2020 research, so it’s still very new.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s no shame in not knowing everything.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In fact, you should welcome it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In order to REALLY change things, sometimes we need to change the way we think…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
♥️ LIKE if this is NEWS to you! 🗞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Yup.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Low back pain.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She’s a pesky problem!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And not handled very well AT ALL, in our opinion…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The fact is, there are some KEY missing pieces that are completely overlooked, when solving the low back pain puzzle 🧩.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Did you know that disc degeneration is an immune problem?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Has your doctor or health practitioner addressed your sleep? Poor sleep will influence your pain & inflammation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Do you have strategies to manage your blood sugar and insulin levels? Do you know what insulin resistance is, or what signs to look for? Do you know how this relates to your pain?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 What about stress? Pain education?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Movement variability? Less side-lying clam shells and more functional movements under gravity please…🙏🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

3 things you MUST do if you want to CHANGE👇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❇️ Reach:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To change anything, you must, through the choices you make, reach beyond where you are, beyond where you feel safe. ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❇️ Dare:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You must dare to move ahead, even if you do not fully understand where you are going or the price of getting there. You will never have perfect knowledge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❇️ Learn:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You must become a student in the process.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Are you someone who says they want change?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Are you willing to do what it takes?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Let’s get one thing straight…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Inflammation comes from the IMMUNE system.🩸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you have:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- low back pain⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- frozen shoulder⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- bursitis⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- stubborn tendonitis⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
…all of these things are an IMMUNE response, not just a musculoskeletal problem.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2 things you need to know:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ What is your immune type? Are you Th1, TH2, or TH17 ?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ What is causing your immune system to stay stuck in that response? Why won’t the inflammation go away??⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤔 If you have musculoskeletal problems that aren’t getting better….perhaps it is time to THINK DIFFERENTLY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❓Has anyone spoken to you about your immune system?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Rest, restore and recharge before you feel overspent, overworked and overwhelmed.

YOU DECIDE |⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you been given a bad prognosis?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A prognosis is a prediction.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Basically it’s a guess.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A diagnosis is also just a name.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It doesn’t tell us about the PROCESS behind it. YOU are unique and how you arrived at that diagnosis will be different to all of the people before you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This also means your healing journey will be different, and who are we to predict your future?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t let facts, statistics or a doctor tell you where you are going to be.
