It's a common problem as 12% of the population has thyroid disease (and 60% of those patients are unaware). Yet, Dr. Prather says less than 1% of us actually have a properly-functioning thyroid. In this episode, you'll learn:

--Why the older you are, the likelihood of thyroid issues increases. Plus, how women are more likely to have thyroid disease.
--How Dr. Prather's personal battle as a young man with Graves' Disease (a hyper-functioning thyroid) inspired him to his career.
--The two systems that control the body (Nervous and Endocrine) and why Dr. Prather tells patients those must be fixed first. Plus, why the Thyroid is described as the workhorse of the Endocrine system.
--How Indiana is in the Top 5 states for thyroid problems due to low iodine in our soil.
--How Thyroid affects almost EVERYTHING: hair loss, nail health, weight gain, weight loss, constipation, diarrhea, skin health, heart, blood pressure, cholesterol, brain activity, I.Q., infertility, postpartum depression, menopause.
--Why most doctors misread blood tests and misdiagnose patients as having properly-working thyroids. And the "can't miss" explanation of what reference ranges on blood tests REALLY mean.
--The various diseases of the Thyroid: Hypothyroid, Hyperthyroid, Euthyroid, Graves' Disease, Hashimoto's Disease, Thyroiditis, and Thyroid Cancer.
--The safe and natural thyroid treatment alternatives to the terrible side-effects from surgery or prescription drugs (Including how 80% of those on Synthroid develop depression).
--Why Dr. Prather says the medical approach to thyroid is not successful. And how Dr. Prather's goal is to actually fix the thyroid so that it no longer needs treatment.
--How 80% of autoimmune disease starts in the gut and why the gut plays a role for thyroid issues caused by autoimmune problems. And the role that food allergies have on the thyroid.
--How Chiropractic and Acupuncture help thyroid function by balancing the nervous system. And how hair analysis can be a key test for thyroid function if there are toxins or an imbalance present.

For our monthly show on Health Freedom issues, we explore the recent testimony of Dr. Anthony Fauci to Congress.  In this episode, discover:

—How Dr. Prather was extremely disappointed in the performance of "both parties" in the Fauci Congressional hearings, which was more about "political grandstanding" and less about a search for the facts.
—The one grudging COVID mistake Dr. Fauci admitted to for the very first time.  And the story of why the homosexual community hated Fauci for years due to his response to AIDS.

—How Dr. Prather believes the focus should be on shutting down "gain-of-function" research to prevent deadly outbreaks in the future.

—The reason Dr. Prather says it is more difficult to promote a lie than the truth, contrary to what most people would think.
—Why it is important for us to fight for a free and open Internet.  And what Elon Musk is doing to make that happen with Twitter/X.

This week, we're joined by our Associate Chiropractor Dr. Dodge and Therapist Meghan Walton of the Holistic Integration Structural Team to talk about Cupping Therapy, as well as our high success rate in dealing with shoulder issues.  In this episode, find out:

—How the weird marks on Olympic athletes that look like they were attacked by an octopus are a result from Cupping Therapy, which is also called Myofascial Decompression.   
—The issues helped by Cupping Therapy, such as:  pain, scar tissue, adhesions, tendinitis, muscle tension and tightness, and range-of-motion problems.
—Why the marks left behind by Cupping Therapy are different from bruising and are not painful at all.
—How the shoulder is different than any other joint in the body.  And how the shoulder isn’t really a "ball-and-socket" joint like the hip, but a "ball-and-dish" socket that allows the unique range-of-motion offered by the shoulder.
—The causes of shoulder pain, including: rotator cuff tear, labrum tear, bursitis, and tendinitis (which is the most common cause).  And the diagnostics and testing involved in shoulder issues.
—The JTECH computerized range-of-motion test used at Holistic Integration that provides an objective analysis of your shoulder.  And how Holistic Integration doesn't "do any guesswork".
—How 60-75% of partial rotator cuff tears can be healed non-surgically with conservative treatment like Chiropractic treatment and rehab.  And how Holistic Integration experienced an even higher success rate with their patients.
—The ProAdjuster SRT Chiropractic adjusting technology used at Holistic Integration that has various tools specifically designed for the shoulder joint.  And how the Rapid Release vibration therapy "does a great job on the fascia".
—Why Dr. Dodge says he "hates" frozen shoulder syndrome, but "loves" how Holistic Integration is able to help patients overcome their suffering through "a return to function, decreased pain, and some incredible range-of-motion".

This week, Dr. Prather answers a question people often ask of his patients who refer them to his office.  In this episode, we talk about:

—How people often don't understand how their condition can be helped by someone who is licensed as a Chiropractor.  But how their skepticism usually disappears after their first patient exam.
