The very special guest on this episode of The Mile High Podcast is Dr. Marc Surprenant.

Dr. Marc was born and raised in Iowa. He received his bachelors from the University of Iowa and completed his doctorate at Palmer College in Davenport, IA in 1999.

When Dr. Marc was 21 years old, he was on 4 different medications for asthma, allergies, headaches and stomach ulcers. He was referred to a chiropractor. The doctor told him that his body was designed to heal itself, and something within his body was blocking that healing. As Dr. Marc started getting adjusted, he was able to get rid of the symptoms and the drugs, and more importantly, he got to the root of the problem. He has been able to maintain that healthy place for the last 27 years without having to go back to a medical doctor for those problems!

He has received advanced training in spinal correction, toxicity, exercise and nutrition from some of the largest health clinics in the world. He has access to the latest scientifically based research and protocols in health and healing today and is one of only a few hundred doctors certified in the five essentials of health.

Dr. Marc is traveling monthly to teach and learn new techniques and methods to be able to serve the community better. He says, “I’d be willing to go anywhere to promote chiropractic.” How willing are you to do that?

Because he is very focused on education, he holds monthly workshops in his office on fitness, nutrition, detoxification, and other health-related topics. He teaches Winning My Race programs to churches (providing on-site weekly chiropractic care to Elevation Church) and has worked with many local businesses to help them decrease sick time and injuries.

Marc also has hosted a radio show for the past 22 years and has worked with local schools to help keep their athletes in top shape. He was also part of the Max Living group that took care of the teams from the United States at the 2012 Olympics.

For the last 18 years, he has also started coaching other chiropractors and now speaks across the country to chiropractors and students.

🎧 On this podcast, you’ll hear:

• The importance of education and communication
• Overcoming challenges and staying focused
• The value of community and connection
• And MUCH more!

You’re going to receive so much value and so much inspiration when you listen to this episode, so listen once or twice or however many times you’d like and take some notes. You’ll find a wealth of inspiration and empowerment in it!

The very special guest on this episode of The Mile High Podcast is Eddie Weller, a DC from the St. Louis, Missouri, area. His practice is known as “Getting Weller”!

He’s been serving the Chiropractic profession both internally by training students and doctors alike and by serving over 10,000 people in a little over two decades. He has always sought to add hope to those who feel as if they have tried everything.The truth is, the body doesn’t need any assistance. It just needs to have nothing compromising its functioning. He heard that from a Chiropractor when he was 19 years old.

He had suffered from IBS and struggled terribly in school. After having his spine analyzed and adjusted, proper nerve system function transformed his life both physically and psychologically. This was the catalyst to his “why.”

Dr. Eddie says, “Over the past 20+ years, I have seen miracle after miracle. Life as we know it emanates through your nerve system. If something where to compromise your nerve system, in time, your body (or mind) grows into a health condition. In turn, when your nerve system is restored to proper function, your body then has the opportunity to do all that it can to thrive.”

He's the author of three books, It Just Makes Sense, The Infrared Thermography Textbook, and Dr. Bones. His fourth book is coming out soon.

Dr. Eddie has been a speaker and presenter at Mile High Weekends in the past and is a frequent guest on this Podcast, diving deep into clinical excellence, the journey toward chiropractic, and how you can make such an impact by focusing on the philosophy and science, and art of chiropractic.

He recently launched The Chiro Legacy Club, to help you create a legacy and his 100 Certification on Thermography. To say that Eddy is busy making a difference is an understatement.

On this podcast, you’ll hear about:

• The importance of using objective data and instrumentation to assess patient progress
• It Just Makes Sense about Infrared Thermography
• Focusing on your core competency
• Standing out by delivering exceptional chiropractic care
• And MUCH more!

Enjoy this episode, and when you see him in person at Mile High, say hello! He’ll be one of the featured speakers. If you don’t have tickets to Mile High 13 for yourself and your team, now is the time to get them at https://RiseUpToMileHigh.com.
