In this energizing and inspiring episode of The Gynergy Effect, Garin sits down with San Diego’s own Dr. Shaz (@stretch_recovery_room) — chiropractor, entrepreneur, and wellness innovator — to talk about the power of stretching beyond your limits, both physically and in life.

From immigrating as a child from Iran, to overcoming his own childhood health challenges, to building a business from scratch in San Diego, to scaling his methods internationally in Dubai, Shaz’s story is one of resilience, vision, and an unshakable belief in the power of movement.

We talk about:

• Why movement and daily exercise became his anchor through life’s toughest seasons
• The science and benefits of assisted stretching — and why it’s more than just flexibility
• How discomfort (in stretching and in life) is the catalyst for real growth
• His journey from chiropractic school to launching a wellness clinic with $1,000 and a dream
• The immigrant story that shaped his gratitude, perspective, and work ethic
• How music and DJing became an outlet for healing during hard times
• Why he believes assisted stretching is the “Apple of wellness” — and here to stay

This episode is for anyone who’s felt stuck in their body or their life — and needs a reminder that growth comes when we lean into discomfort, stay consistent with movement, and stretch ourselves beyond what we thought possible.
