Whatever you’re going through, and this too, shall pass.

If it’s good, it’ll pass.

If it’s bad, it’ll pass.

That’s Nature.

The Buddhists remind us not to get attached or cling to anything.

Because it’s all temporary.

You’re guaranteed not to suffer forever.

And while, the good will pass, there will be more good in the future as we continue to surrender and let go.

If you’re struggling right now, remember:

❤️ your breath

❤️ the ground underneath your feet

❤️ your prayer and connection to the intelligence that created you

I promise, the suffering will end.

I’m sending you love. ❤️🙏🏼

I don’t claim to know what’s going on or have any answers for the world we are inhabiting.

I can imagine someone who knows more telling me that there’s a smaller cost to pay to prevent a larger cost of more human lives being lost.

But it feels to me like the country I’m in will proceed by whatever means to pursue its agenda.

I’m not ok with that.

We are better than this.

I don’t know the path forward.

But seems to me like we can open our collective hearts.

Those schoolgirls were someone’s kids.

Imagine if they were yours?

The world, our reality, is as we perceive it.

I had two conversations yesterday with people who were telling me how bad and scary the world is right now as we bombed Iran just a week ago.

While I don’t disagree that there are scary things happening, there is also a LOT OF GOOD happening too.

Note: Since the beginning of time, bad and scary things have always happened and will always happen.

That’s the balance of yin and yang, sun and moon, warm and cold.

I digress.

Here are good things my meat suit’s visual orbs have observed in the past 24 hours.

1️⃣ You and I both woke up, which means, we are alive.

Does anything else even matter? LOL — a million bonus points for GOOD.

2️⃣ You and I both are on social medial on a phone.

Tell a human 100 years ago, or better yet, a caveman, that we have this technology to observe EVERYTHING going on in the world and I imagine their heads would explode.

The First Nations would probably trade 1000 horses for 1 phone.

3️⃣ In my little clinic alone, a bunch of people had a significant halt to their chronic pain yesterday.

One woman’s husband hugged me and thanked me 7x during a 15 min visit for helping his wife turn her head again and stop complaining to him.

4️⃣ In a few weeks, a couple of women with PTSD will have an opportunity to release their trauma in ceremony and with community.

5️⃣ I am privileged to be texting and speaking with a friend going through a divorce every day.

He struggles with addiction, self hatred, and suicidal ideation.

His suffering reminds me how desperately we all need community and gives me an opportunity to serve another human. Great Spirit’s will, not mine.

That’s just one person’s observations.

I bet that you can find some things to feel good about.

Don’t be sucked in by the pull of TV and social media.

This is a reminder to myself too.

Our genetics have a pessimistic bias.

We must work to stay positive.

If enough of us do, then, we can move ⛰️ mountains.

Much love ❤️🙏🏼🐻🦅

How you make your bed is how you do everything.

If you want to be world class at work and fix people in chronic pain that no one else can fix, then you need to be world class with your wife or husband and your kids.

Theres no compartmentalizing in life.

For years, I invested more time into my work then my partner Katie and my boys.

From the outside, it looks like I’m successful.

From the inside, my life was falling apart.

I was recreating the same pattern that my parents had.

Not investing enough into their relationship caused my parents to get a mess divorce that traumatized me to this day.

Then, I grow up and do what I saw. I work myself to death to the point where Katie threatens to leave me for years and I almost caused my boys to have the same trauma I did.

I remember thinking 2-3 years ago, “what’s the point of helping so many people in chronic pain or emotional and spiritual suffering if the cost of that is not helping (or traumatizing) the most important people I have to look after?

Today, I think katie would say I’m a more present partner and father.

I’m still not where I want to be.

At least I know the game.

I need to invest in my work and my family if I want to die on my deathbed with success in all areas of life.

👉👉I’m curious, how do you define “success” generally?

I’ve been asking myself why we put up a picture of Crazy Horse above our fire 🔥 place as soon as we walk in our home.

So I picked up this book by his family members.

Tasunke Witko (Crazy Horse) was the warrior leader at the Battle of the Greasy Grass in 1876 where Custer & his 7th Cavalry came onto Lakota land & tried to decimate these people of the Earth.

He was known for his fierceness in battle & his gentleness & compassion for his entire tribe.

Earlier in his life, TW earned the responsibility of shirt-wearer, which meant he was to always to protect his people, the children, & women, first.

When he came home on buffalo hunts or had spoils from victories, he shared with all who needed.

Because of this, he was beloved by his people.

When many of the Lakota were becoming “Loafers”, surrendering to the U.S. agencies to receive rations, he was holding on to a dying way of life.

Us white people got TW to surrender with promises of safety, ability to still hunt buffalo, and live in specific perimeters.

But we were lying. We never intended to uphold these promises.

TW soon realized that white people would never honor their commitments.

He had a vision that within an agency, he would die by the hands of guards with bayonets.

When they attempted to put him in a jail cell, he wouldn’t go in.

A scuffle occurred and somehow those two bayonet swords ended up in his body, killing the vital spirit of the Lakota.

I realize now, I see Tasunke Witko (Crazy Horse) daily to remind myself what’s worth protecting & dying for.

We are killing our Earth.

I love our Earth. My partner, Katie, & my sons, Bear & Koa, love it too.

Us westerners have lost our way.

Growth and economic progress at any cost.

Until we live back in balance with the Earth and Spirit, we will continue to r**e her of her resources and beauty.

I’m not ok with that.

For my next book, I’m checking out

👉How about you?

“It is not the critic who counts; tearing us down saying that adhesions can’t be removed and we should be disgusted with ourselves for saying it’s possible.

Not the man with nothing better to do than point out how the determined doctor or therapist stumbles, or where the doer of healing deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the healer who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;

Who strives valiantly to be the top 1%;

Who errs;

Who comes short again and again as he strives to feel those nerves tugging tight;

Who spends himself in the worthy cause of saving chronic pain sufferers from riding the medical merry-go-round;

Who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and actually fu*cking fixes chronic pain so people can get their loves back & their families can stop worrying,

And who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring to bother trying greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid Instagram phone goblins who neither know victory or defeat.”

~ Teddy Roosevelt said that (or something like it)

You are a healer warrior. Never forget it. ❤️✊

How great is it to become an provider if my partner Katie was miserable and we were divorced?

Does saving Al from su***de like I did last spring or helping 15 people a day find permanent relief matter if my sons are miserable and not take care of?

Who cares if I make $350 per 15 minute visit if my staff is treated horribly and scraping by with nickels and dimes.

I define SUCCESS as balance across the board with top performance in 1 or 2 chosen areas.

My chosen areas are:

1️⃣ teaching heart-centered pain docs and therapists how to fix chronic pain

2️⃣ my family

Now, just because my family is a priority doesn’t mean I’m as good as I want to be here.

I mess up a lot.

I’m not as present as I want to be.

I often miss our family meetings on Sundays.

But, posting like this holds me accountable for checking myself on this verbalized priority.

When you post about your family, it gives you an opportunity to check to see how you’re investing into them relative to your goals of mastering fixing adhesion.

And it also helps your potential patients who follow you what type of man or woman you are.

That builds trust.

👉👉 I’m curious, where do you need to bring balance in your life?

02/18/2026

You don’t have the have the most raw talent to master fixing chronic pain and be in the top 1% of our field.

If you’re average, you just have to tap into your well of suffering and make the decision to be a top performer.

I was an average football player for years in middle and high school.

But I made a decision to learn the behaviors that would allow me to work harder than everyone else.

By my senior year in college, I finally became 1st team all conference.

I didn’t get good grades in college or chiropractic school.

But I made a decision that I wanted to be the type of chiropractor who transformed people’s lives.

I learned habits and routines that would allow me to:

👉 fix chronic pain that 3+ other docs or therapists have failed
👉 do 4-8 treatment passes in a 15 minute visit
👉 charge $350 per visit
👉 have patients ask me, “Can I do a testimonial for you?” like Nancy from PA did today

These decisions were made because I had suffered earlier in life and I knew that being an average doctor or therapist would leave me without fulfillment and purpose.

I couldn’t stomach being one of 3k chiropractors in New Jersey.

I had to be someone people flew into from across the country.

Whoever you are, I believe there is greatness inside of you.

It’s not your fault that you have found a system to be in the top 1%.

Now that you know about , you had an opportunity to be brutally honest with yourself, use your own suffering as fuel, and make a decision to transform your client outcomes, practice, and quality of life not 10, not 5 years from now.

THIS year!!

You’d better than this.

I believe in you. ❤️✊

It can be disheartening to fail or be in a season of darkness in your trade, career, or going after your goals.

Who likes losing?

I often have to remind myself there in my pursuits, I’m one of very few people trying to even play the game I’m playing.

Treating chronic pain that has been failed by at least 3 docs or therapists without relief is quite difficult.

After all, no one else has been able to fix these people’s pain.

I’m one of only 50ish providers in the word even attempting to master feeling adhesion.

Then, is the ONLY manual therapy system teaching hard-working pain doctors and therapists how to do the same thing I’ve been doing for 16 years.

That’s hard too.

Finally, who the heck starts a psychedelic church based on Native American principles to help people heal emotionally and spiritually and maybe, live in community the way our ancestors did?

I don’t like losing, but I remind myself to keep lying the game.

As long as you and I don’t quit, the odds are that we will eventually win.

If you’re failing, keep going.

I believe in you. ❤️🐻✊

02/12/2026

I think about this quote all of the time.

Asking myself, “How can I create very deep bonds with the people around me to assemble my tribe?”

“God forbid real travesty occurred in my life or someone I cared about, would we be close enough to be there for each other?”

To drink from the “blood of the covenant” is to do hard things with others.

I dream of doing runs, treks, hikes, or camping trips, but these are hard to organize and even harder on my aging body.

Psychedelic ceremonies have been my chosen covenant over the past 10 years.

Prior to that, it was football.

I still talk to my West Ess*x high school football team and Franklin & Marshall college football team.

My buddy Tim (Compton Ass Barry) from college just texted me and 10 of my other college brothers this image, which is by far one of my top 5 favorite pictures of all time.

We worked hard on the football field.

And we played hard off of it.

Championships were won and shenanigans were the norm.

While I don’t get to see them often, I hold those relationships dear to my heart. ❤️

Us adult human in 2026 need more covenants to drink from.

I’m desperate for more community, more tribe, to share life with.

I’m not alone, am I?

We are all going to die.

The death process can be something that we are present and aware to, or not.

I can’t think of anything more important than to prepare well for our leaving.

In the party’s end, is how well we celebrated.

How awake we are to the precious gift we’ve been given will determine how much or how little we suffer.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve suffered enough.

The self hatred, the “I wish you were dead” letters to myself, the burns, the physical harm in football, the attempts to get shot by others, and the incessant negative self-talk.

I don’t want to suffer anymore in order to open up my eyes and heart.

That means that we can’t take on any false idols.

Money, safety, security, status, praise.

All lead to more suffering.

Instead, we can praise our Creator.

The quantum field.

The intelligence that governs all that is.

The more I pray each day, the more I ask “Great Spirit’s will? Not mine”, to be guided and led, the more peace I find.

I fake myself out …

“I need money to pay my bills”
“I need status to find patients to serve”
“I need validation so I keep walking a path of medical perfection”

… then I pray, “Show me the truth. Remind me who I am.”

I pray, to squeeze Death’s hand with a deepening sigh I’ve never known before.

I pray, to unite and connect with you, to the winged ones, 4 legged, 2 legged, insect nation, rock nation, and tree nation.

So separation may dissolve.

I let my life be a prayer.

For you and me.

That way, there is no death.

Only a return home.

Peace and love is guaranteed.

The only question is how much we will suffer on the way there.

That makes our prayer to live well and die even better, of vital importance.

I don’t play enough with them.

I know it’s not only important for their connection to me, but it also helps me tap into my youth.

“Too much work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

That means that if I want to run the marathon of my mission to help 50 million people get out of chronic pain and do so at a high standard of performance, I need to break up the mundane to do what energizes me.

Without play, how can we stay wild?

Because it’s “staying wild” that leads to more authentic self-expression, deeper bonding with the kids and my partner Katie, better s*x, and a deeper dive into my work.

I define success as high performance across the board. Work, fun hobbies, relationship in family and community.

Play is one piece of my life that I’m committing to do more of.

👉What are you favorite ways to play with your kids?

“If you’re not naked, go back to sleep.”

Rumi said that.

It’s wise.

Why is it wise?

Most of us go through our days dealing with negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, shame, and sadness.
