Wellness Wisdom
Curiosity, Nutrition, and the Pursuit of Health
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 caught Dr. Royal Lee's passion, 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.”
Nourish
Nutrition and Recipes
What we put into our bodies matters. I believe in whole foods, real nourishment, and food that is grown from the ground and rich in the nutrients our bodies need. We’ll explore nutrition and recipes, along with the choices we make every day and what they can mean for our health over the long term. Because we can't expect strong immune systems and healthy, alert brains while continually filling our bodies with highly processed, chemically altered foods. The good news is that we can make different choices, and it is never too late to start.
Care
Cranial Care™ and Functional Health
My approach to care has grown through more than four decades of practice, learning, research, and paying attention to what I see in the people I care for. My work includes Chiropractic, Sacro Occipital Technique™ (SOT) and SOT Methods®, Cranial Technique™, and Chiropractic Manipulative Reflex Technique (CMRT™), with an emphasis on whole food-based nutrition and functional health.
I had the unique privilege of practicing alongside my father, Dr. Thomas B. Wright, for more than 25 years until his passing. He was a student of Dr. Major Bertrand DeJarnette, the founder and developer of SOT®, and his influence continues to shape my work.
I am a Diplomat of the International Craniopathic Society and a certified Sacro Occipital Research Society International (SORSI) instructor. Through this work, I continue to explore gentle approaches to care, the way the body works, and what we can learn through practice and research.
We’ll explore what I’ve learned, what I’m still learning, and the many ways thoughtful care and support can play a role through different seasons of life. You never know what you’re preventing when you choose to pay attention and care for your health.
Whole Living
Healthy Living and Research
Health doesn't happen in a doctor's office alone. It happens in our daily lives, in what we eat, how we move, how we rest, the routines we create, and the choices we make over time. We'll explore the practical side of whole living and what it can look like to care for ourselves through every season of life. I hope that these conversations help you find simple, meaningful ways to live longer, healthier, happier lives, because an investment in your health today brings peace to your tomorrows.
Health is something we live with every day. How we nourish ourselves, how we care for our bodies, how we move through the different seasons of life, and what we continue to learn all shape our well-being.
We have more influence over our health than we sometimes realize. We can't expect to support strong immune systems and healthy, alert brains while relying on highly processed, chemically altered foods. The choices we make every day matter.
Wellness Wisdom is where I share what I've learned over the years, what I'm still curious about, and practical ideas that can support whole living. From nutrition and cranial care to functional health, research and healthy living, these are the conversations that continue to shape how I think about care.
Today is always a good day to make a change. An investment in your health today brings peace to your tomorrows.
