Speaker 1 (1:40) Hey, Speaker 2 (1:41) welcome back everyone to another episode of Living Your Legacy Podcast. I'm your host again, Jay Slangen. And yeah, we're down here at the sunny Miami Beach studios where we got the privilege to talk to some of the best entrepreneurs from around the country. The disruptors, the experts, and the legacy makers like we have here today. And so yeah, we got a special guest and he's in his great Nike Airs and he's got his awesome t-shirt here with Roy Kent. But yeah, why don't you introduce yourself? What's the name? Where are you from? And what's Speaker 3 (2:09) your Speaker 2 (2:09) business? Speaker 3 (2:09) I'm Dr. Jeremy D. Kobler, doctor of chiropractic. I live in Kansas City, Missouri. I'm from Kansas originally. And so we have chiropractic and acupuncture clinics. We're also starting to include aesthetics into our services. And so it's all holistic base versus, you know, shooting up Botox and fillers and things like that. We use radio frequency and ultrasound, things like that to help clear up people's faces and make them pretty and keep them feeling good on the inside, you know, outside, keep the body pains and things like that going away and they feel good all over. So amazing. One stop shop. Speaker 2 (2:46) Perfect. Yeah, it looks like you use your own services because you look like you're super happy and feeling great and looking good, man. Speaker 3 (2:54) Yeah, we just got the equipment pretty recently. So, yes, we've been practicing on each other and making each other. I want to always be, you know, I want to use the things that I recommend to people. I don't ever like recommend something. Practice what you preach, right? Exactly. And I haven't used it. I don't want to tell people to use it if I haven't done so myself. Speaker 2 (3:11) So you started off chiropractic. Is that what you Speaker 3 (3:15) said? Correct. Yeah. Speaker 2 (3:16) So, you know, I mean, as a guy, I'm tall, but I got a long back, right? And so, yeah, I got a lot of like, you know, I guess in the algorithm on social media, a lot of these back popping kind of videos hit me. Yeah, sure. Can you crack a good back? Is that part of the best, Speaker 3 (3:35) baby? Speaker 2 (3:36) I have not yet had a chiropractic session. Oh, Speaker 3 (3:40) you should. It'll change your life. Oh, Speaker 2 (3:41) my God, man. A, it looks scary because they're kind of like pop. They're like, oh, yeah, hold it, hold it. Oh, yeah, hold them, you know. Because Speaker 3 (3:50) Arnold makes it look too easy in the movies of snap and crack. I know. And so, yeah, I think people get a little weird about that because of the sounds and they see videos online or whatever else. Yeah. What's that Speaker 2 (4:02) do? Speaker 2 (4:04) crack your back, right? And you hear all that cracking noise, right? What's that doing? Speaker 3 (4:09) Why is that so resilient? So all the sound is nitric oxide gas releasing from the joint capsules. You actually can reproduce that sound every 9 to 10 minutes, theoretically. So the sound is nothing, really. I mean, it's not a... It is part of the adjustment. but just because it happens, not because it's an important part of the adjustment. Now, people do get to where they expect to hear that, and if they don't hear it, they think, oh, nothing happened. But what you're really doing is you're helping the nervous system function better. So people always think about, oh, it's back pain, things like that. But what we're really trying to achieve is to get the nervous system to function as optimally as it possibly can. It just happens to be all your nerves come through your spine first, out of your brainstem. And so the better function that is. you know, of course it goes through the spine. So we want the spinal function to be as optimal as possible because then it leads to the optimum nervous system function. And then the rest of your body works better. Your immune system works better. That's why I say, you know, you get an immune system, a boosting adjustment, things like that. And that's why, because it's helping the nervous Speaker 2 (5:08) system. Speaker 3 (5:08) So it's Speaker 2 (5:08) about the alignment and the adjustments and not the cracking. And it just Speaker 3 (5:12) happens to be that it helps get rid of pain and things like that because the nerves are what's causing, you know. signaling the pain signals and whatnot. Gotcha. So Speaker 2 (5:19) the next thing that they're getting is like you see on Instagram or whatever, the horse chiropractors. Oh, man. Right. So they're going to these giant horses and then they're lining them up and then pop, crack, crack, crack. Right. It's crazy Speaker 3 (5:34) like with the racehorses and stuff like that. I mean, you can make four or Speaker 2 (5:37) four racehorses. The alignment is going to make them running faster, performing better. And that's the same
