#219: Is The Secret to Optimal Health in Your Spine? with Dr. Jeremy Brook

Is The Secret to Optimal Health in Your Spine? | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and InsideTracker. Most people don’t realize how many problems throughout the body are directly related to spinal health. Because our nerves transmit signals from the brain to every other part of the body, when these signals are disrupted due to a subluxation in the spine the effects can go far beyond back pain. These subluxations, or misalignments of the vertebrae, can affect everything from your blood pressure to your digestive system and more.  Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. Jeremy Brook, a chiropractor, yogi, and movement specialist. Dr. Brook is the founder of The Life Center Chiropractic—a unique healing center that incorporates the disciplines of chiropractic, spinal corrective protocols, yoga, and other movement art forms to make sure the spine, body, and mind are aligned. He is also the founder of The Yoga of Chiropractic Adjusting Seminars, the newest addition to the chiropractic training movement, and the author of The Spinechecker’s Manifesto: Drug-free Secrets to Pain-Free Living, More Energy, Anti-Aging, and Better Sleep.  In this episode, we dive into:    -What is structural integrity and why is it one of the key pillars of Functional Medicine (6:03)  -How misalignments in the spine can show up in different areas of the body (13:43)  -The brain-spine connection (15:30)  -How chiropractic care helped resolve an injury Dr. Brook sustained while playing rugby in college (17:06)  -The benefits of combining yoga and chiropractic care (25:02)  -The misconception that you should only go to the chiropractor when something is wrong (41:54)  -How to create the optimal sleep environment (1:01:02)  -Dr. Brook’s pillow recommendation (1:03:46)  -Dr. Brook’s shoe recommendation (1:10:06)  -The Wise Progressions Movement Sequence (1:16:23) For more on Dr. Jeremy Brook you can follow him on Instagram @spinechecker, on Facebook @thelifecenterchiropractic, on YouTube @drjeremybrook, and through his website https://thelifecenterchiropractic.com/.
