Ep. 113: Everything is Connected: Chiropractic Medicine & the Nervous System with Dr. Arneka Cooper

Chronically Healing Podcast

In today’s podcast, Jessie and Christina interviewed Dr. Arneka Cooper about her journey with being a chiropractor and how connected EVERYTHING in the body is. It’s hard to believe that every single piece of our mind, body and soul are connected… but they are! Today’s episode is such a good one and we loved our conversation with Arneka - we had so much fun!

In today’s episode we chat about:

• What does a chiropractor do and what does Arneka do for people (like Jessie) who are afraid of going to the chiropractor?

• Finding nervous system dysregulation in chiropractic medicine and explaining the relationship of pain

• Digestive problems and our nervous system

• The concept of transitions and resetting our energy when we come into a new space

• Why movement is so important for those with chronic conditions especially

• Movement doesn’t need to be crossfit… Arneka gives tons of examples of easier movement to incorporate into our lives

• Do “bad backs / knees” really run in your family and there’s nothing you can do about it? (spoiler alert: nope!)

• Tools to add to your movement toolbox

• The important pieces Arneka adds to her day to keep her feeling her best
