The Active Life Podcast

In this four part series Dr. Sean and Larry sit down to discuss the perspective of the four most interested people in the healthcare to fitness system; The medical doctor, the physical rehabiliation professional, the fitness coach, and the individual using their services.  Part 2 is all about the chiropractors and physical therapists.  Do they really just want to adjust, massage, stretch, and coach basic corrective exercises? If not, why do they do it so frequently? What is your role in it? These questions and more are answered in today's episode. 

Chase Chewning is the host of Ever Forward Radio, and on this episode Chase and Dr Sean dive into how Chase turned around diagnosed clinical depression. In this episode Dr. Sean and Chase discuss the use of psychedelic plant medicine, the power of networking, and the importance of family and friends as a positive influence.  Living a life of wellness has always been a part of Chase's values - since growing up eating fresh food from his grandparents' garden, playing baseball throughout school and enjoying time in the mountains surrounding his family's southwest VA home. After six years of active duty, Chase was medically discharged from the military due a string of injuries that ultimately required him to have bilateral reconstructive hip surgeries. After learning how to walk again, twice, exercise as medicine and healthy lifestyle modifications became his passion.

This podcast episode was inspired by an instagram follower of Larry's who reached out saying he was excited to open a CrossFit gym in a month.  Larry asked Dr. Sean for help navigating this conversation, and instead of doing it in private, Sean thought the best thing to do was to have the conversation and record it for your benefit too.  Find Larry on instagram at @Larry_thehuman Find Dr. Sean on instagram at @DrSeanPastuch
