Do you equate feeling good with being healthy? That assumption might be completely backward. Dr. Knight Bryant challenges conventional wisdom by revealing that health has almost nothing to do with how you feel and everything to do with how your body functions.

Through compelling examples, Dr. Bryant illustrates how bodies that are functioning perfectly (like expelling food poisoning) can feel terrible, while serious conditions like cancer can develop without noticeable symptoms. This paradigm shift transforms how we should approach wellness—focusing on optimizing bodily functions rather than simply chasing comfort.

The podcast introduces five essential pillars for true health: nutrition (emphasizing fresh, local foods and proper hydration), exercise (recommending 30 minutes three times weekly, with both strength training and flexibility work), social health (stressing the importance of meaningful connections and personal hobbies), quality sleep (providing practical tips for better rest), and regular chiropractic care (supported by research showing benefits for blood pressure, stress reduction, and pain management).

Whether you're struggling with chronic issues or simply want to optimize your wellness, this episode provides a roadmap for understanding health beyond symptom management. The husband-wife chiropractic team at Mustard Seed Chiropractic offers these insights for patients of all ages—from infants to seniors—highlighting that proper function is the true foundation of health.
