With so much easy-access to health care in America, why are we one of the sickest countries in the world? What is health freedom and is this being infringed upon by our own government? What are the potential downsides to letting profit-driven corporations decide what goes into our body?

Now more than ever, we need to learn what true health is and how we truly improve our own health. In this episode you are going to learn all about these important topics and more. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or give my office a call at 831-459-9990. You can also visit my website McCollumWellness.com where you can buy my best-selling books, take my free neurotoxic questionnaire, and sign up for my online class at McCollum Wellness Academy.

This week I dive into the importance of socializing. As social animals, it is essential for our health and wellbeing to connect face to face with other people. I reflect on my recent experience listening to live music at Michael’s on Main and just how touching it was to see people laughing and having a good time together. I was filled with joy to see the smiles all around me, I mean actually seeing smiling faces that weren’t being covered up and hidden away.

I also talk about our country and the American values upheld throughout history that have made this country what it is today. Currently, there are people in power actively trying to rewrite America’s values by taking away more and more of our freedoms. It is imperative for us to stand up for our rights and let our voices be heard during this time.

Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas no longer produces insulin. Type 2 diabetics do produce insulin however it is unable to get into the cells and stays trapped in the bloodstream. Recent studies have discovered there is a third type of diabetes, however it already has another name that we are all familiar with: Alzheimer’s disease. Type 3 diabetes (aka Alzheimer’s disease) occurs when there is excess insulin in our brain. Insulin crosses the blood-brain barrier easily when our cells are inflamed, and our cells get inflamed from toxins in the foods we eat, products we use, and various environmental conditions surrounding us. The deadly toxin trio are heavy metals, molds, and hidden infections. If you’ve ever had a root canal and that dead tooth is still in your mouth, then it’s almost guaranteed you have a hidden infection that is weakening your health and immune system.

There is hope! You can flush the toxins out of your cells and organs.

Dr. Matt DiDuro is bringing the future to you with his incredible stem cell-generating device: the Tissue Regenerative Technology (TRT) machine. Dr. Scott Kremer, a cutting-edge chiropractor in Northern California who is using this technology with his patients also joins us for the show as we share our personal experiences witnessing miraculous healing in our patients, sometimes only minutes after their first session.

The TRT machine is extremely versatile. It accelerates healing for a wide range of conditions, especially ones involving our connective tissue, including cartilage, ligaments, and neural tissue. It expands my healing capabilities as a chiropractor, allowing me to work on wrists, hands, knees, elbows, neck, lower back, and so on. Wherever you place the TRT machine it creates a positive biological effect. It essentially acts as a stem cell attractant. It begins to activate your own body’s natural stem cells within four to five minutes after receiving treatment. There is no other tool or device out there that can both diagnose and pinpoint the areas of inflammation and damaged tissue, and then also start the healing process.

Dr. Matt DiDuro (drmattdiduro.com) is the clinical director of Health Med in Atlanta, GA and provider of the Tissue Regenerative Technology machine. His “miracle machine” is quickly gaining popularity among professional athletes, health practitioners, and the everyday person. DiDuro states, “My mission is to change healthcare and give people in chronic pain viable options where they don’t have to drain their bank accounts.” This technology does just that.

You can visit me at McCollum Family Chiropractic in Santa Cruz, CA where you will receive a $49 special for your first time with the TRT machine. To schedule an appointment you can email me at [email protected] or visit my website McCollumFamilyChiropractic.com To find a TRT provider near you please visit SoftwaveProviders.com.

Today I bring you Laura Wilde, a thought leader in holistic player development and holistic sports medicine as well as a promoter of health freedom. She coaches mental performance and resilience with elite performers in sports and the corporate world. She’s worked with a number of athletes, staff, and coaches in the NBA, WNBA, NFL, MLB, and NCAA.

In this episode Laura teaches us about the five main emotions in Chinese medicine (fear, sadness, worry, anger, grief) and how they can block us from our highest good. We discuss breathwork, and I love her approach to breathing - instead of taking a breath, allow yourself to receive it. The air is already freely given to us, all we must do is receive it. And when we cannot take a full breath, our body begins to go into “fight or flight” mode and our stress levels rise. Unfortunately, wearing a mask contributes to this elevated stress by restricting how much oxygen we are inhaling while also blocking toxins from being released from our body as we exhale. Fortunately, we can ground our bare feet on the earth as it pulses as a great way to balance ourselves back into a harmonious rhythm and encourage our body to rest and relax.

Other topics we discuss include the power of intention, the importance of handwriting our goals, toxins and stress, the practice of smelling money, and why everyone needs a good coach. Even incredible coaches like Laura Wilde have their own coaches. You can check out Laura’s website lauramwilde.com and follow her on Facebook and Instagram @LauraMitchellWilde.

Today I have Nikou Lohse join me on the show to tell us about her healing journey as a pregnant mother who discovered she had SIBO (small intestine bacteria overload) which was causing her to experience postpartum depression, brain fog, and fatigue. Wanting only the best for her soon-to-be newborn baby, she avoided using chemical drug intervention to treat her SIBO, instead turning to diet and lifestyle. Taking a more natural route, she successfully returned to a state of health and wholeness physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Nikou is an entrepreneur, master pilates and yoga instructor, and lover of all things movement, mindfulness, and community. She encourages us on our healing journeys, reminding us that it all starts with our mindset and our beliefs. If you believe that you’re capable of accomplishing and achieving more you are going to do more, you’re going to try harder. You’re going to position yourself around people, places, and things that are going to help you be successful in that endeavor, whether that may be improving your sleep, eating better, or enhancing your overall health and wellness.

This week I share with you my personal healing journey in hopes to inspire you to realize that it’s never too late to take charge of your health. Growing up, I experienced severe back trauma due to a childhood injury to the point where I could hardly move my body without experiencing extreme pain. I was put on prescription medication which led to a downward spiral of drug and alcohol abuse. I couldn’t read or write at all and dropped out of school more than once. I eventually hit rock bottom in my mid-twenties and moments away from committing suicide, I had a spark of clarity and decided to say “yes” to life and take back my health. In this episode, I share my full story and what I did to turn it all around. You too, can absolutely do the same. It begins with mindset, as the saying goes, “What you think about, you bring about.”

If you feel inspired by my journey and would like to learn more, please visit my website McCollumWellness.com or you can reach out to my team at [email protected].

Join me as I interview Dr. John C. Brady, forensic psychologist and doctor of criminology. On this episode Dr. Brady dives into his discoveries observing his clients’ use, abuse, and overuse of psychiatric drugs. He has found that these drugs, rather than making people whole, actually tend to disenfranchise people, clouding their ability to heal on their own, and creating learned helplessness instead of self-empowerment.

Treating diagnoses like anxiety and depression, as well as deviant and criminal behaviors with a psychiatric drug only masks the underlying cause behind the psychological condition. Masking people’s condition with drugs hinders their ability to change, their ability to feel good about themselves, and their ability to be independent and fully-functioning. As a result, they often become psychologically weaker and even more susceptible to the very same impulses they were given the drugs to treat in the first place.

The USA makes up somewhere around 4-5% of the world’s population, yet Americans consume 85% of the world’s psychiatric drugs. What’s worse, many of these drugs actually create mental conditions that were not present in people before being prescribed them. Dr. Brady puts it bluntly, Big Pharma is selling diseases, not drugs. “An ill for every pill.” Pharmaceuticals push people into a “medication solution” instead of teaching self-reliance.
