Doc's Thoughts - Thomas Matzke from Matzke Chiropractic 04/16/2025

Doc's Thoughts - Thomas Matzke from Matzke Chiropractic In this episode of Doc’s Thoughts, Dr. Lynn Wagner sits down with her personal chiropractor, Dr. Thomas Matzke, founder of Matzke Chiropractic, to demystify the world of chiropractic care. They explore what chiropractic really is (spoiler: it's not just about back pain), how it optimizes nerve flow, and its surprising impact on the autonomic nervous system—influencing everything from digestion to mood to hormone regulation. Dr. Matzke shares his journey from biomedical science to chiropractic medicine, explains what subluxation really means, and breaks down why the gentle, functional approach he practices is effective—even without the dramatic “cracks.” The two also dive into misconceptions around chiropractic care, the historical divide between conventional and chiropractic medicine, and why that gap is finally starting to close. Whether you're new to chiropractic care, skeptical of it, or already a believer, this episode will change the way you view the spine-body connection. It’s a must-listen for anyone interested in pain prevention, stress regulation, and living a balanced, high-performing life. /episode/index/show/feafe32b-1281-4726-a5c1-12d89bff97b0/id/36160070

Wonderfeel- Baran Dilaver and Patricia Ryan 03/24/2025

Wonderfeel- Baran Dilaver and Patricia Ryan In this episode, we’re diving into the world of longevity, cellular health, and the science behind NAD with two incredible guests—Baran Dilaver and Patricia Ryan, co-founders of Wonderfeel. Meet Our Guests Patricia Ryan Co-founder and Chief Wonder Maker of Wonderfeel Expert in turning ideas into reality Passionate about minimalism and sustainability Baran Dilaver Co-founder and CEO of Wonderfeel Biosciences Entrepreneur, inventor, and advisor UC Berkeley graduate Recognized for his work at the intersection of technology, wellness, and human potential Collaborated with top scientists, visionaries, and medical experts (And fun fact—they’re married!) The Power of NAD & Why It Matters Why NAD? NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body, essential for: ✔️ Energy production ✔️ DNA repair ✔️ Overall cellular function ✔️ Metabolism, aging, and longevity I first introduced NAD IV infusions into my clinic and immediately saw benefits—including a noticeable energy boost and improved endurance in long-distance events. But I soon realized that infusions weren’t the only way to support NAD levels. The key to boosting NAD is helping the body produce it naturally using NAD precursors—the molecules that fuel NAD production. This led me to discover Wonderfeel, a company that developed a patented form of the NAD precursor NMN. /episode/index/show/feafe32b-1281-4726-a5c1-12d89bff97b0/id/35842825
