Chapter 1: Who is Dr. Pete Goldman and what is his healing background?
All right, guys, Dr. Pete Goldman here today. We're going to talk health and healing. Can't wait to hear your story, man. Thank you. I'm very happy to be here. Yeah, it's all started being a chiropractor, right?
So when I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn, New York, where I'm born and raised, I grew up in kind of a unique family in the sense that most families, I think, you know, they go to a medical doctor, they get like, you know, they get vaccinated, they get their checkup, you know, whatever. Or maybe if they don't feel well, they go to the medical doctor.
I grew up in a house where we didn't like we had, um, kind of three primary doctors we would use. I mean, we were healthy, but just for whatever. We had a naturopath who worked with like herbs and diet. We had a homeopath. That's a kind of healing. And we had a chiropractor. So I kind of just grew up under that umbrella of natural healing. It never occurred to me to do it.
I didn't want to be a chiropractor. I didn't want to be a doctor. It didn't even, it wasn't even on my radar. And I went to college. I was an economics major, which was more my interest, like investment banking and things like that. And then after I graduated college a few years later, I decided to be a chiropractor. So I went to chiropractic school. So I'm officially a chiropractor.
I would say almost in name only. And then I had a very interesting path where I just learned some very interesting things and powerful aspects of healing that I would say transcend chiropractic. Not that chiropractic is not great. I have full respect for the profession and other chiropractors, but I kind of went in a different path.
Yeah, because chiropractors, that's just one form of healing, right? It is. And if you think about it, it's an interesting thing. And obviously you're a smart guy. So when I say this, you'll relate to this. When someone wants to know, you know, what heals, what heals, like why do people heal when they heal and why do people not heal when they don't heal?

Chapter 2: How does chiropractic care relate to healing asthma and other conditions?
So let's just take like a simple thing like asthma. Let's just say, you know, you have a friend who has asthma and you see, you know, he has a little inhaler. He's okay. It's not, you know, it's not terrible, but kind of once a day he has to use his inhaler because, you know, his lungs are not functioning well.
So let's just pretend someone with asthma went to, you know, they're trying to solve it. They don't want to use their inhaler anymore. They want their lungs to be healthy. They don't want to have to rely on an inhaler, right? So we already know that the medical doctor said, look, you know, it's not a terrible condition, but here's this inhaler. You'll probably use it your whole life.
Your lungs don't really function properly by itself. So you have this inhaler. So maybe they go to a chiropractor, let's just say, and the chiropractor says, listen, there's a bone called T3, kind of pointing to it,
of the area and the nerves that emanate from t3 go to your lungs and your bronchial tubes so if that bone is out of place putting pressure on that nerve as it leaves the spinal column potentially your lungs and bronchial tubes are not getting the right signals so maybe they're not functioning right and now you have what's called asthma but i'm going to put this bone in place
take pressure off the nerve, and then theoretically you'll breathe perfectly and will not need your inhaler anymore. Now that's happened many times. That's happened hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, I don't know. Of just some one adjustment? Well, it could be one adjustment or it could be 20, but after, you know, or 30 or 10 or whatever, because everyone heals at their own rate.
But after a certain amount of adjustments, getting that bone in place, it could open up the nerve flow and they don't have asthma. Many people have gone to chiropractors and don't have asthma. Now, some people have gone to chiropractors with asthma and it didn't work. We'll get into that later if you like.
But the point is, from the outside, like I said, a sharp guy like you, you might be like, hmm, well, I guess medical doctors can't really fix asthma, but I guess chiropractors can. But if we believe that, it may or may not be true, we would think, oh, I guess the cause of asthma is this T3 bone being out of place. Like when you put it in place, it goes away. Okay. Could be.
But let's say someone says, you know what, I have a friend who's an acupuncturist or I have a friend who knows an acupuncturist. And they go to the acupuncturist who's not looking at the bones, not looking at T3, not looking at so-called nerve impingement at T3. And the acupuncturist says, I'm going to feel your pulse. I'm going to look at your tongue.
That's what acupuncturists do to analyze the body. Like, you know, if me and you felt someone's pulse, we just like feel like whatever that meant to us. But an acupuncturist, the pulse reading they do is so specific. They can evaluate all the organs of your body and all the systems of your body. That's how acupuncture works. Also, they can look at your tongue and they can tell. about your body.

Chapter 3: What role does the subconscious mind play in healing?
It's trusted by elite athletes used by the UFC, WWE, Canada basketball, and the Minnesota Timberwolves. It's backed by science, 100 plus scientists, and 40 plus institutions confirm its effectiveness. It's patented, peer-reviewed, clinically proven, and publicly traded Wi-Fi is the most tested, researched, and validated EMF solution on the market.

Homeopath, which is a kind of healing. And someone takes a homeopathic dose. Now they have no asthma, but they never got the needles. So when you think about what really heals, it's a little... mysterious at that point because why can they always work? So anyway, there are underlying principles and I would say a common denominator of healing.
And when one understands that, they kind of will understand why healing works when it works and why healing doesn't work when it doesn't work.
Yeah. Do you think a common denominator is the mindset of the person getting healed? I do. And I would actually say very, very good.
And I would actually say that there's a lot of specifics to that because there's a difference between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. Now, of course, we're just using terminology to...
quantify things that are really hard to quantify, but it's not like we're walking around with an actual, with a mind that's split in two, that's conscious and subconscious, but we're just doing our best to, you know, talk about it. So one could say that their conscious mind
is things that they're aware of like you're sitting here right now you're like oh this is an interesting interview or whatever um where i'm comfortable or it's too hot in here it's too cold in here or the temperature is great in here that's that's uh your conscious mind but sub meaning below subconscious just means below conscious so we all have things below our conscious you know below that what we're kind of aware of at the moment but it's still in there so just to be clear
How do they get in the subconscious? How do these things get in the subconscious? And once they're in the subconscious, how do they play out in the body and the life? So it appears from a lot of observation that the concepts in our subconscious, whether we're aware of them or not, are manifesting in our body as either health or disease or whatever.

Chapter 4: Can mindset and subconscious beliefs affect physical health?
Like let's, let's, and let's bring it back to the, you know, the imaginary example of the parent. The parent says, Hey, when the kid's five, you're delicate, be careful, always button up. Don't go out with your hair wet, you know, be, um, be careful when you go out, always, you know, make sure that you're, you know, have the right jacket or whatever, because you're very delicate.
You have a weak immune system, right? So now that person grows up and they have this belief that they have a weak immune system, subconscious belief that they have a weak immune system. And probably when it does get windy or they don't have the right jacket or their hair gets wet, they probably will get sick. Wow. But the kid whose parent says, you're made out of steel, you're tough.
I mean, of course, take care of yourself, but don't worry about it. You're fine. You have a super strong constitution, a super strong immune system. That gets in the subconscious. Now that kid's 26 years old. It's real windy. They forget their jacket. All their friends are like shivering or, you know, and they're like, no, I'm fine. And they probably will be fine.
So a master healer, whether they're a chiropractor or acupuncturist or a medical doctor or some energy worker or a hypnotist or whatever, a master healer will know how to identify what's in the subconscious in regards to health or disease and And we'll know how to put a healing concept in the subconscious to manifest.
So they're able to heal the subconscious without the person taking action?
Well, first of all, yes. And let me say a few things about that. A person, of course, can take action just with their own willpower. Like someone might just say, you know what, I'm going to start eating better. I'm going to start exercising better, et cetera, et cetera. Now that's them taking action that might help their body. But here's an important thing. Imagination always beats will.
Not that will is not good. Because like, for example, let's say, Sean, let's say you're like, I'm a pretty good shape, but I want to be in better shape. So I'm going to get up every morning and jog and then lift weights. Let's just say you decide to do that. You're a smart guy. You're a successful guy. You probably do have good willpower. And then you're like, I've been eating a lot of desserts.
I'm going to chill out with the desserts. You know, that's your willpower. I'm not saying it's worthless. I'm not saying it doesn't work. But imagination beats it. So if someone has a concept, if someone has a concept in their subconscious, and that concept is that they're kind of like have low self-esteem. They don't really feel worthy, things like that.
And then they go in a job interview and the person starts interviewing them. And that image they have of themselves, which maybe their parents told them that they were all those negative things. That takes over, even if their willpower says, before they walk in the interview, I'm going to be fine. I'm going to walk in there. I'm going to be confident.

Chapter 5: How does hypnosis work to influence the subconscious for healing?
You don't like to eat gluten. And you know, when you eat gluten and dairy, you don't feel well, right? Now, let's say I said to you, I'm going to do X, Y, Z to balance your body. And then you're going to be able to eat gluten and dairy. Because, you know, I'd say a balanced body can eat gluten and dairy, a non-balanced body maybe can't, but I'm going to balance your body with whatever I do.
And then a month later, you're like, man, Dr. Pete was right. I mean, I'm eating pizza. I feel fine. I mean, right. Now, if I gave you a legit physical exchange, like a chiropractic adjustment or the technique I do or whatever, that's one path. But the placebo effect is very strong. So if I said to you, listen, Sean, I know you were having trouble with dairy and gluten. I know you were.
But see this over here? This is a natural. It's an herb. It has no side effects whatsoever. So if it doesn't work, the worst that will happen is nothing. take this, I want you to take two a day, not three, not one, two a day for 30 days. This will reset and heal your entire digestive system. And then you'll be able to eat gluten and dairy. If that idea gets in your subconscious,
Even if I'm giving you a freaking sugar pill, you'll be able to eat gluten and dairy.
Wow. That's how strong the placebo is. It is. And you see it in a lot of studies too. There's always a study accounting for placebo, right? And every single time there's increased results. Totally. And that's the subconscious, right?
That is, that is that idea getting into the subconscious. You know, there was this really interesting, um, I read about this. I don't think this is hard to find, but I read about this. They did. I don't know the exact details, but anyone who looks it up can find the exact details. It was a knee surgery study. Listen to this. A knee surgery study.
And what they did was they took, I don't know the exact numbers, but I think it was about 100 people who had real MRIs of their knees, who had like, you know, a meniscus or a lateral, whatever it was. They had real knee issues that showed up on an MRI. And I think what they did was, and they all needed surgery. They took, I think, 50 of them and they did the surgery.
They did a real surgery on them. And the other 50, they did a placebo surgery. They just put them under, they cut their knee and sewed it back up. They had the, I think, almost to the exact number, or maybe it was off by a number or two, same improvement rate. They both had like a 64% rate. So imagine that, 64% or whatever it was, improvement rate, placebo knee surgery and real knee surgery.
That is crazy. That is so crazy. And here's one, if you think that's crazy, check this out. There's a medical journal in England. I think it's pronounced Lancet. I may be pronouncing it wrong. But in America, we have like the New England Journal of Medicine. It's a medical journal, one of the biggest ones, or maybe it's the biggest one. I don't know.

Chapter 6: What are examples of the placebo effect and subconscious healing power?
Here's the person, right? And they have a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. And here's a hypnotist. Here's the hypnotist over here. So the way hypnosis works is when the hypnotist puts this person in a hypnotic state or a hypnotic trance or whatever you want to call it, their conscious mind says goodbye for the moment.
It's not gone forever, but you know, for that half hour hypnosis session, their conscious mind is gone. Bye. So now their subconscious is wide open. They have certain concepts in their life. They can't stop smoking or they can't stop eating or they have low self-esteem or they're always tired or whatever their problem is. or they're nervous around people, whatever their thing is.
So they have these concepts. That's why they went to the hypnotist for some kind of healing or some kind of benefit. So the hypnotist puts the subconscious, excuse me, the conscious aside. Then he or she talks right into the subconscious, right into the subconscious, right? And puts these new, like, let's say they were, I don't know, uncomfortable in social situations. You're comfortable.
You're confident when you get around people. You're happy to be there. They're happy to see you. You're happy to see them. You love going to parties, whatever they say, you know, whatever. And then that's in there, right? Then they take them out of their hypnotic state. Their conscious mind is put back. They're wide awake again. They're back on their normal faculties. But the concept is in there.
And now if they go to a good hypnotist, hopefully they're like, man, they say they used to always be nervous at parties. And I'm like, man, I go to parties. I feel, I mean, sometimes they don't want to go to a party. They want to stay home and relax. But when they do go around people, they feel fine. Or the person who always was anxious, right?
And the hypnotist says, what do you mean you're always anxious? I mean, if you're standing online at Starbucks, are you nervous? Yes. Okay. So we are new.
They, they have the, so then they put them in this hypnotic trance and they're saying when you're in public, even when you're in private, when you're at home, when you're in line at Starbucks, when you're on an airplane, when you're walking in, when you, when you're in Sean's studio, whatever, Just calm as could be.
And this person who knows they used to literally be online at Starbucks, nervous, ready to have a panic attack. Now they're like, I'm just waiting for my order. I mean, they may be annoyed that it's taking so long. They're still human. I'm not saying they won't have different emotions or thoughts.
or maybe they're in a hurry, they're kind of late, whatever, but are they going to be standing there nervous? No, because of this, with a good hypnotist putting this in. So with that said, I just wanted to explain that as a foundation. Let's talk about healing now. Now let's wipe that clean, right? We have a new clean slate. Here's the patient, right? This patient has whatever problem they have.

Chapter 7: How important is patient trust and rapport in the healing process?
Remember how I said there's this little barrier at seven years old between the conscious and the subconscious? So here's the conscious and the subconscious. Here's the barrier. What happens is, the barrier opens, the barrier opens if there's faith. If this one has faith in this one, the barrier to the subconscious, not hypnosis, they're wide awake, because hip in Latin, I believe means sleep.
So it's a sleep state. Now they're wide awake, but when there's rapport, this barrier opens. And now this person can just talk straight into this one, just from the conscious to the conscious and say, I'm going to put these needles in you and your head's going to feel better. Or I'm going to adjust to you and your head's going to feel better.
And then it goes like this, conscious to conscious in the subconscious, because that, that barrier got open, not hypnosis. Remember hypnosis is just, Hey, I'm putting you in hypnosis. The conscious is gone. I'm just talking into your subconscious. This is your wide awake, but because you have faith in me or this one has faith in this patient has faith in the doctor, whatever kind of doctor it is.
This barrier is open. And when they say, I'm going to help you. By the way, here's the trip. 99% of doctors who do this, they don't even know they're doing it. They're doing it inadvertently. They think it's the needle, the adjustment, or they think it is. Like the acupuncturist is like, I've been an acupuncturist for 20 years. I've helped a lot of people. It is the needles.
And the chiropractor is like, I've helped a lot of people. It's the adjustment. But it's not. Wow. And by the way, I'm not saying that physical exchanges are meaningless. No, there's a validity to the chiropractic adjustment. There's a validity to the needle. There's a validity to the herb. But 90 plus percent of it is the image associated with it.
Whether they know they're tapping into that or not. Now, if someone knows how to do this on purpose... the results can be a thousand times better. Wow. That is a crazy concept.
That blows my mind, honestly. And by the way, it's totally true. I've been doing it since 1993. Wow. So it's really just the words entering the subconscious. You got it. That is crazy. I've actually done that hypnosis a few times. I felt a lot better afterwards. I had some childhood trauma. Yeah. Because you could use it in other... Use it any way you want.
Like there could be someone who... I'm just making this up. I'm not saying it applies to you. I'm just making this up. Let's say some kid was always beat by his dad or his stepdad. And then he just later on in life, you know, he has that thing with men, you know, and violence. And later on in life, he's just like talking to some guy.
And the guy's like, oh, the guy just, you know, just making a point. It's like, hey, this is really important. And he gets a little like... He gets, because that old concept gets stimulated of a man going like this to him. If his dad used to always like hit him and go like this. So yes, and they go to a hypnotist and they can change that concept totally about men or whatever it might be.
