Studying chiropractic at Los Angeles College of Chiropractic gave me an excellent medical education, and the skills to amplify the natural healing ability of the body through spinal evaluation and adjustment.  I augmented that education with specialized training in the Gonstead Chiropractic Technique which involves in-depth bio-mechanical analysis and specific, directional adjusting techniques for optimum effectiveness and efficiency of healing.  I started my chiropractic practice in 1990 and soon thereafter began to study Zero Balancing as well.  Zero Balancing is a unique, hands-on, bodywork system of healing.  It combines the Western view of medicine and science from the field of osteopathy with Eastern concepts of energy and healing from the field of acupuncture.  ZB affects the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) by providing both structural therapy and energy medicine simultaneously, and thereby accessing the body’s “interoceptive” mechanism of conscious awareness, self-referencing, and physical, as well as psychoemotional, resilience.  It is life changing for patient and practitioner.  One of my strongest passions is teaching Zero Balancing to other healthcare providers and anyone who wants to learn about the power of conscious touch and energy medicine.  I am on the faculty of the Zero Balancing Health Association and teach classes internationally.    Connect with Dr. Seth Osgood To learn more about Dr. Seth Osgood and the GrassRoots Adaptation Program, head over to www.grassrootsfunctionalmedicine.com [https://grassrootsfunctionalmedicine.com/dr-seth-osgood/] Join the GrassRoots Facebook community at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/grassrootsfuntionalmedicine [https://www.facebook.com/groups/grassrootsfuntionalmedicine]

Dr. Rawls shares his insights into the delicate balance of our body's immune system, the often overlooked connection between stress, cellular health, and chronic disease, and how herbs play a critical role in maintaining that balance. We'll explore the controversial ideas about the presence of intracellular bacteria in cancer cells, dive into the misconceptions surrounding chronic illnesses like Lyme disease, and confront the limitations of conventional medicine -- especially its often rigid stance against the benefits of herbal therapy. Dr. Rawls will share his expertise on why a cellular approach, rather than a purely pathogen-targeted one, could revolutionize our treatment of chronic conditions, and how adapting our diet, environment, and lifestyle can foster long-term health and resilience. In this episode, Seth and Dr. Rawls discuss: * Understanding Chronic Illness and Cellular Stress * The Role of Pathogens in Chronic Illness * Chronic Stress and its Effects on the Body * Benefits of Herbal Therapy  * Herbs as an Alternative to Antibiotics * Tick-Borne Illnesses and Microbe Defense Levels   More about Dr. Bill Rawl  Visit Dr. Rawls website [https://rawlsmd.com/] Follow @rawlsmd Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/rawlsmd/] Get 20% off your first order at Vital Plans.
