In this powerful and insightful episode of The Whealthy Life, I sit down with Eliza Andrews, an experienced physical therapist and founder of Inspirit Therapy Associates, to explore a truly integrative approach to healing. With over 30 years in the field and a specialty in pelvic health, Eliza shares how her practice goes beyond traditional physical therapy—incorporating nervous system regulation, trauma-informed care, visceral manipulation, integrative dry needling, craniosacral therapy, and more.

We discuss why pain isn’t always structural, how emotional and neurological patterns contribute to physical symptoms, and why addressing the nervous system is essential for lasting healing. From helping patients improve sleep, digestion, and libido to teaching nervous system “homework” like breathwork and vagus nerve activation, Eliza’s work offers a deeply personalized path to whole-body recovery.

Whether you're a practitioner, a patient, or someone curious about the connection between trauma, stress, and chronic pain—this episode will change how you think about healing.

In this episode of Doc’s Thoughts, Dr. Lynn Wagner sits down with her personal chiropractor, Dr. Thomas Matzke, founder of Matzke Chiropractic, to demystify the world of chiropractic care. They explore what chiropractic really is (spoiler: it's not just about back pain), how it optimizes nerve flow, and its surprising impact on the autonomic nervous system—influencing everything from digestion to mood to hormone regulation.

Dr. Matzke shares his journey from biomedical science to chiropractic medicine, explains what subluxation really means, and breaks down why the gentle, functional approach he practices is effective—even without the dramatic “cracks.” The two also dive into misconceptions around chiropractic care, the historical divide between conventional and chiropractic medicine, and why that gap is finally starting to close.

Whether you're new to chiropractic care, skeptical of it, or already a believer, this episode will change the way you view the spine-body connection. It’s a must-listen for anyone interested in pain prevention, stress regulation, and living a balanced, high-performing life.

Why NAD? NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body, essential for: ✔️ Energy production ✔️ DNA repair ✔️ Overall cellular function ✔️ Metabolism, aging, and longevity

I first introduced NAD IV infusions into my clinic and immediately saw benefits—including a noticeable energy boost and improved endurance in long-distance events. But I soon realized that infusions weren’t the only way to support NAD levels. The key to boosting NAD is helping the body produce it naturally using NAD precursors—the molecules that fuel NAD production. This led me to discover Wonderfeel, a company that developed a patented form of the NAD precursor NMN.

Told he would never walk again after being struck by a truck on his college campus, he rose to the challenge, not only walking again but completing a bachelors in applied music and psychology and a masters in rehabilitation psychology. 

Andy’s expertise in brain spotting, a technique that harnesses the power of the mind and subcortical processing to assist in the healing process peaked my interest. Having experienced the profound healing effects of brainspotting myself - I was excited to share it with my audience. 

Andy brings a unique perspective, having been adopted from Korea as an infant and growing up in a small town in Wisconsin. He’s a musician, a first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and honestly, just a great guy to get to know
