Dr. Mike Pierce

Where is it caught up?

Where is that interference happening in my body that's not allowing me to express health?

So that being said, when you come in,

What we do is I would sit down with you and I would say, hey, Alex, tell me where you're at.

Tell me what you've been through.

Give me a clear path of your health history.

And then I want to know where you want it to be.

What is your goal?

And I think today doctors can get so caught up, focused on what do I want to fit Alex into this box of what I think people should be versus saying, what are you looking for?

You know, I've had so many patients come in and I mean, looking at their x-rays and looking at their testing, I'm like, yeah, they're broken and they need a lot of help.

But I'll ask them, I say, what do you want?

And they go, I just want to be able to pick up toys off the ground with my grandkids and play with them.

That's all I want.

So I'm like, great, we need to put a plan in action to help you achieve that.

So when you come in the clinic, we do very specific testing on your nervous system and your spine.

So we do x-rays, we do thermal nerve scans to see is everything in alignment and functioning the way it's supposed to do.

Now from there, obviously there's multiple pillars of getting somebody healthy, right?

So what we would look at is nervous system first, because if the nervous system is what regulates everything else, it makes no sense to me to start anywhere else.

Like, why would you start with the gut?

If you know that the gut is regulated by the vagus nerve to some degree, which then controlled via the nervous system, right?
