    Tweetable Quotes “The theory is that the structure and function are interrelated. And when one is off, the other is gonna be off. For example, if you have muscle pain, let’s say your spine is not in the right position, it’s gonna strain the surrounding muscle and tissue. So, if you’re able to adjust and correct the problem, you’re gonna fix the surrounding area and reduce the inflammation.” (08:39) (Dr. Sasha Haddad)

    “In life, is anything possible? By nature, very rarely, potentially, maybe. But, medically speaking, by the time you hit puberty - in terms of bone width and height growing taller - I highly disagree, unless something pathologically happened differently.” (13:50) (Dr. Sasha Haddad)

    “For the most part when you eat raw meat, the nutrients are present. And, of course, building blocks and protein can help.” (17:21) (Dr. Sasha Haddad)

    “I agree, don’t spend your money on something that you don’t necessarily need. What’s better is down time.Try to limit yourself from being on your phone or on your computer a few hours prior to going to sleep. I think that’s way better than all of this.” (19:41) (Dr. Sasha Haddad)

    “I think people can take fiber, but it doesn’t help if you’re not hydrating well. So, the key element here is you have to be able to hydrate. You have to have enough fluids in you to have things go through.” (24:59) (Dr. Sasha Haddad)

So, there’s a real shortage not only in lung, but in the other organs as well.” (04:37) (Dr. David) “A smoking related lung disease, emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Some people may have heard of COPD. That’s essentially the same thing.” (07:43) (Dr. David) “There’s a vast array of chemicals in a vape and what goes into the lung. But even more than that, it’s thermal energy. So, in other words, it produces very high heat in the lung, and the lung is quite sensitive to very high temperatures. The damage can not only come from the chemicals that are contained in the vape oil, but also from the heat that’s generated. It’s much hotter than cigarette smoke.” (10:52) (Dr. David) “As marijuana increasingly becomes more mainstream in our society, we’re seeing more and more research that it’s not quite the benign drug that we thought it was maybe early on, mainly because there wasn’t much research on it when it was illegal.” (18:19) (Dr. David) “It was very difficult for me to separate how much I cared from accepting an outcome that was not good. And, I don’t think I ever really learned how to do that well over the course of my career.” (25:25) (Dr. David) “What I try to do now is coach the teams through everything and try to figure out a way to get on the same page. That’s probably the number one value that I can bring to programs now.” (31:46) (Dr. David) Resources Mentioned Dr. David’s Website Dr. David’s Book Dr. David’s Instagram Dr. David’s Twitter Dr. David’s Facebook Dr. David’s LinkedIn DM Dr. Brian your questions and he will respond back with answers⁠ ⁠Dr. Brian’s Website⁠ ⁠Dr. Brian’s TikTok⁠ ⁠Dr. Brian’s Instagram⁠ Please remember, Dr. Brian is a doctor, but he is not your doctor.
