August is my favorite month. 

 

My daughter was born this month and because she’s my oldest, she’s the one who made me a dad. And ever since I’ve become a dad, this mission that we are on is far more meaningful than the near decade I was in practice before she was born.

 

 

 Dr. Ryan and I have talked about how we don’t know how we did any of this before we had kids. And if you’ve been around the practice long enough to know Dr. Ryan before Jack was born, you know that his dad-strength is a damn superpower.

 

 

And if you look at our logo…

This logo was created in 2017. And that logo somehow happens to be a silhouette of my family. This bright and shiny, super vibrant big sister, and this super cute little baby bro, and it looks like we are supposed to have more children. My wife is not pregnant yet, we know that’s coming at some point when we are ready 🙂 

 

This is our rebrand upon moving to Escondido. 

 

 

But how does that happen?

 

How do we create a logo that somehow depicts my future family years before I’m even a dad? 

 

I don’t know the answer exactly but what I do know is that there is a significant power in visualization and significant power in manifesting what you visualize. And I encourage you to drop into that state as often and consistently as you can – an inspired state of visualization of your health, your kid’s health, and the life of your dreams. 

 

This is why pharmaceutical commercials are so powerful. 

 

They know the power of suggestion. They spend more on marketing than they ever will on research and development. Because they have known for years that lawsuits from adverse reactions to drugs are just part of the cost of doing business. 

 

Do you think they care if their products work or harm? 

 

Or just that they profit? 

 

I wanted to share this spoof on a drug commercial because it’s almost hard to tell that it’s not a real commercial.

 

The music is perfect.

The rhythm of the language.

The visual depiction of bright colors, good contrast, and lightness.

 

I love this spoof on pHARMa. 

 

Abrain | A Pharmaceutical Commercial Parody

 

If you listen to the words, they are totally absurd.

 

But they perfectly mock what the industry does to us and has been doing to us on repeat for over a century. 

 

Most people don’t know that pharmaceutical companies can only market directly to consumer in two countries: New Zealand and the United States.

 

Most people don’t know that one of the number one reasons why we have always been an informed consent based practice is because pharmaceutical companies cannot be sued for injuries caused by vaccines – nor can your doctor, the nurses, the hospital systems, or the insurance companies.

 

And because there is no liability, there has never been a single long-term, inert, placebo controlled, randomized clinical trial, showing the safety of vaccines in the history of that product. Not one. This is not debatable. They openly admit it and also admit they will never do those studies. 

 

I’ve been studying that topic since 2005 because I was the recipient of five anthrax shots and one smallpox before I deployed to Iraq in 2003. 

 

All of those shots were experimental. 

 

And my body and mind were dramatically impacted by them and the infinite other ways that other industries experiment on our military.

This is fully documented since the invention of the anthrax injection.

When you learn about the history of smallpox, you know that it was totally experimental, too.

 

I’m not bringing this up because I am pro or anti, nor because I think you should be one or the other. I am bringing this up because of the power of influence, suggestion, and therefore manifestation.

 

Everything I have envisioned about the future world my kids will inherit from me isn’t as simple as the ‘opposite’ of what these criminals are promulgating. 

 

Medicine saved my life three times over the course of my military career and I am eternally grateful for that. 

 

Never once did they talk to me about prevention, or quality of life, or how to heal at the root. When I out-processed, they actually never diagnosed me or identified any of the chronic problems I had and further told me I had a ‘clean bill of health,’  wishing me well because I could max out my PT tests. 

 

This has been my focus ever since I had to find real solutions to the way the military left indelible marks on my body and mind.

 

I got out of the military in 2005 and moved to San Diego where I began my own journey of healing. I learned how to surf, read book after book about whole food nutrition, studied detoxification, homeopathy, and functional medicine, took up yoga and breathwork. I got very familiar with SD’s best hiking trails and studied how to heal my mind through meditation, affirmations, visualization, and prayer. 

 

But most importantly, I discovered chiropractic as a foundation to healing my nervous system. And this was the key that made everything else work better. It was, and still is today, the X-factor that allows the wisdom of my body to properly and effectively utilize EVERY other health habit optimally.

 

This is what we are bringing YOU with the renovation of our backspace. We are going to have two rental offices for part time, ALIGNED providers. We are going to have a world class workshop and event space where we are going to be hosting workshops and master classes from our own team and outside experts. We are going to have groups for mothers, kids, and hopefully DADS, too. 

 

We will focus on three main categories: 

  1. Natural Health (especially as it relates to pregnancy, birth, parenting and kids)
  2. Self-Healing (Advanced Wellness/”Biohacking” workshops, etc.)
  3. Health Freedom (Informed Consent and Beyond)

 

Our providers and workshop hosts must also agree with the following statement: 

 

 

Most importantly, we are envisioning you and your families transforming and creating a ripple effect of healing throughout this amazing county and beyond. 

 

We did it well in our previous office in San Diego. 

 

We were one of the best in the county. 

 

We know this phase of our lives and for the community with this space is going to be world class, and we would love you to help us create it. 

 

Please share the following posts with your friends, family, and aligned providers, organizations and businesses who may feel inspired to be a part of something really special. 

 

We envision it. 

We will create it. 

And so it is… 

 

Love and appreciate you all. ♥️
