Life offers us many passions. I know my passions include God and His marvelous creations, my amazing family and the people He has placed in my life, plus the desire to serve others, to help make their lives healthier and happier. I discovered my ability to serve through Chiropractic care and nutrition. I am currently in my 44th year of practice, and I continue to seek wisdom from others, past and present, that will enable me to serve those I love.
Nutrition became one of those passions while growing up in my father’s footsteps. My dad, Dr. Thomas B. Wright, introduced me to whole food supplements when I had a severe case of mono at the tender age of 16. I was so sick and hated missing school, my friends, my horse, and of course, driving. There was nothing medically that could be done, so my father prepared a specific supplement schedule. They were Standard Process whole food based supplements. The ones he used in practice. Of course, he made me chew them, claiming they tasted like dirt, but so what! No one argued with Dad. With those particular supplements along with good SOT™ Chiropractic care and my mom’s traditional cooking, I recovered. I did not forget nature’s power of healing through whole food nutrition and great Chiropractic care. It set my path for life.
I seemed to have acquired the passion of Dr. Royal Lee, like my dad and many other health care professionals. He was the founder of Standard Process and extremely passionate about nutrition and how whole foods with their minerals, vitamins, enzymes, and other elements worked together to maintain and restore health. He built an amazing nutritional industry around his passion. His story and its history can be found at www.standardprocess.com.
This Wellness Wisdom column will be full of comments, articles and many stories from what I have learned, researched and practiced throughout my career. I continue to “deep dive” and go down numerous rabbit holes in my research to help me, my patients, family, and students of Chiropractic answer questions about health and healing. The “clues and cues” are out there; we just need to find them.
“When you read, you learn.”
