Unlocking Wellness: Exploring Chiropractic Care and Natural Nutrition with The Wild Doc

Ephraim Glick — Fri, 08 Dec 2023 08:30:00 -0500

In this podcast episode I had an insightful conversation with Dr. Dale, aka The Wild Doc, about our healthcare experiences. Dr. Dale emphasizes his role in helping patients understand their bodies rather than claiming to "heal" them. We delve into the significance of addressing thoughts, traumas, and toxins in health. I share my positive experience with Dr. Dale's holistic approach.We discuss the concept of functional medicine, with an emphasis on addressing root causes rather than just symptoms. During the episode, we also explore the importance of liver function, the role of essential nutrients, and the idea of aligning our diet with human biology. The conversation takes a deep dive into the potential risks associated with the use of exogenous testosterone, underscoring the necessity for a holistic approach to health. We conclude our discussion by addressing the concerns surrounding healthcare costs and the profit-driven healthcare model. We touch on topics like raw milk, synthetic meats, and the significance of being well-informed about healthcare choices. Throughout this episode, we encourage our audience to ask questions and think critically about their health and nutrition.

He has been working in one of the most music-driven cities in the world, sharing his songs in bars, at colleges, in homes, on TV, and at festivals!

“Nobody’s gonna give you 10 million dollars. But if you start off a handyman service and you get over 700k in revenue and a couple of helpers, then you have a track record. You can sell that business and then reinvest the proceeds.” - Bryan Clayton

“A lot of times, your passion is not gonna be able to pay your bills. I think following your passion can lead you down the wrong path, because a lot of times your passion isn’t economically viable. I think you have to have a passion for success, you have to have a passion for winning and you have to have a passion for making something of yourself.” - Bryan Clayton

“Purpose is where Joy comes from. And business can be the vehicle to identify and bring purpose to your life.” Bryan Clayton

Get Control Over Your Life Through Vulnerability with Brando Eaton

Ephraim Glick — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 05:00:00 -0500

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Brando Eaton. Brando is an actor, Writer, Producer and Military Tech. You may recognize him from titles such as Zoey 101, Dexter or even American Sniper. Brando is the kind of artist that breaks things down practically with more of a business mentality to find the right tools for the job.

Let's jump into Brando’s story about how vulnerability can lead to healing and getting control over your own life.

Things you will learn in this episode:

[00:01 – 03:55] Opening Segment

I welcome and introduce my guest, Brando Eaton, to the show
Actor on TV and Movies
Brando gives a bit of background
Starting in acting as a child, professionally since age 17
Going with the flow, “this is my career”

[03:56 – 09:31] Getting Good at Rejection

Brando talks about his experiences going through castings
Got used to rejection
Brando shares a story about a casting with Kevin Bacon
Good training for the business world
Brando talks about the impact of repetition
You become more comfortable in your own skin
Brando talks about his fears
Nothing irrational
I talk about the fear of not giving my all
None of us are perfect out of the womb
Recognize mistakes and learn from it

[09:32 – 16:31] Using the Right Tools for the Job

Brando talks about separating real life from acting
Certain scenarios in acting may correlate to your life
It can be healthy or unhealthy depending on how you’re affected
Getting into acting with a more business orientated mind
Using certain tools to get the job done
Do the homework first then let loose
Brando shares how to overcome disagreeing with a character's response
The writers wrote this for a reason
Use whatever you need to get the job done
Save the energy where you can

[16:32 – 26:09] Getting Control Over Your Life

Brando’s family life growing up
No father figure
Self taught
Let go of the things outside your control and take control of the things you can
Your past should not be running your life, get on the saddle and get it done
Brando gives advice about what steps to use to work through things
Break it down and dissect it
Brando gives an example with his own life
Step outside yourself and look in
Once it’s broken down talk to someone about it to get a different perspective
The importance of vulnerability
It takes healing to do it genuinely
If your walls are to thick, you’re pushing away the good people and keeping around the ones that don’t care about the real you
It takes away people’s power over you
At the end of the day all we have is ourselves

[26:10 – 39:15] Shifting the Political Landscape

Brando talks about how the political landscape is being affected by our differences
We’ve gone from pitting ideas to war
We need to move away from aggression and towards debate
Staying away from surface level politics
We talk about the possibility of moving toward libertarianism
It’s easier to control two parties than multiple
I put things into perspective from an entrepreneurial stand-point
There’s a lot more going on underneath the surface
Brando talks about the trajectory of the moving film industry
It might die out
Hollywood is making less money and becoming more about pushing an agenda
The focus isn’t about making a good product anymore

[39:16 – 47:49] Closing Segment

If you are put on a world stage and have 5 minutes to talk to people to remember you by what would you say?
Never be afraid of the truth - don’t try to bury the truth
Be a seeker of truth
If you could ask anyone in the world something, who and what?
How were the pyramids made? Uncovering a mystery we may never know
What’s next for you?
Recently aired Psycho Sister-in-Law
Auditions picking back up a little bit
Partial owner of a military tech company
Providing new cooling technology
Creating water from atmospheric pressure
How can people follow you, support you, and connect with you?
See below for social links.
Final words from Brando and me

Tweetable Quotes:

"Having certain opportunities arise that you don’t take advantage of, or certain doors that you don’t step through; that’s a mistake I’ve made many times in my life… I guess it’s a little bit of a regret or maybe just part of the growing process.” - Brando Eaton

“We all have different circumstances… Get past the things that are outside of your control.” - Brando Eaton

“I think being able to be vulnerable is huge, I think it’s very important. Because if you’re generally able to do it, it’s healing; you’re at a place where, ‘I don’t need to hide.’” - Brando Eaton
