This week the duo is joined by a special guest to discuss all things chiropractic care! Dr. Jeremy Maxwell, D.C. from The Wellness Way Columbia.

Jeremy grew up in Pleasanton, CA and graduated from Amador Valley High School in 1992. He then attended York College in York, NE on a soccer scholarship to attain his undergraduate studies in pre-chiropractic. It was in York where he met my wife Shelby, who is from Rhinelander, WI. Jeremy attended Palmer College of Chiropractic and went on to open his practice in Fayette, MO from April 2001 through June 2018, and now practice in Columbia, MO since 2005. Shelby and Jeremy have four wonderful children: Aiden, Myya, Emilia, and Zechman. 

​

Jeremy absolutely loves what he has been called to do, and that is to help families maximize their health potential through Chiropractic and through The Wellness Way-Columbia. No other profession gets to intimately work with the innate healing potential the Creator placed in each of us like the Chiropractic profession.

Every day, we get to witness lives changing and health improving by turning on the power of the human body through spinal corrections and removing stressors. When the brain and body can talk without interruption, the Creator's design of continual self-healing can be expressed.

Starting in 2025 Brandon has hosted a once-monthly Zoom meeting open to anyone who would like to attend. The meetings offer a brief presentation on a various nutrition topic, and are followed by a Q&A for those in attendance.

This is a recording of the meeting.

We recently independently watched "Buy Now" on Netflix and were so moved by it that we just had to talk about it on a microphone!

Listen is as we break down the documentary and provide our own commentary.

This week the duo welcomes a very special guest! Brandon's little sister, Jes!

Jes W. is a recovering alcoholic who, after a decade of drinking and drug use, made the decision to make a change - she’s been sober for about five years now. Alcoholism is a disease that affects everyone around the individual, and it can feel impossible to get to the other side of it. Jes hopes that, by speaking about her own experience, she helps someone to know they aren’t alone, and that recovery is possible.
