Welcome to the 37th episode of the Back to Human Podcast.
On this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Denis Chang. Denis is a chiropractic doctor who is committed to enriching lives through holistic wellness and education. He is the driving force behind Optimize Health Chiropractic and he is also the author of, “From Surviving to Thriving: A Transformative Guide on Optimizing Your Health, Body and Mind”.
On this episode we discuss:
•Denis’s upbringing and how a chiropractic adjustment changed his life
•What is the chiropractic philosophy and how does if differ from conventional medicine?
•How interferences or misalignments can restrict us from healing or performing at our best
•Different types of interferences: Physical, chemical & emotional
•Is it possible to adjust someone that has had a spinal fusion?
•What movement does Denis recommend to maintain a healthy spine?
•How a misalignment in the extremities can affect the spine
•What patterns does Denis typically see?
•Can an adjustment have an impact on hormones?
•How does Denis determine how to adjust someone
•How Denis gained confidence adjusting
•Denis’s ideal 3 step protocol; adjustment, movement and cold plunging
•What is cerebrospinal fluid?
•How frequently should someone get adjusted and what should they feel like afterwards?
• What recommendations does Denis have outside of getting adjusted?
If you are just starting out on your health journey I highly recommend picking up Denis’s book “From Surviving to Thriving: A Transformative Guide on Optimizing Your Health, Body & Mind”. You can find it here:
I have read a ton of health related books over the years, many of which can get very science-y, technical and impractical. Denis has done a great job of condensing all of that information into one easily digestible book providing you with just the essentials that will take you from just surviving, barely hanging in there, to thriving and living optimally.
Thank you for listening to the show! Share it with someone you believe needs to hear it!
