A quiet revolution in healthcare is underway—and it isn’t being led by pharmaceutical companies or government agencies. It’s being driven by families, practitioners, and individuals who are asking better questions, reading the research, and demanding more than symptom-based, pharmaceutical-led medicine. In this episode of the Foundational Health Podcast, Dr. Kevin Schultz is joined by Dr. Joel Bohemier for an uncensored conversation about natural healing, the nervous system, genetics, and the growing movement toward true health freedom.
This discussion challenges everything most people have been taught about chiropractic care, genetic destiny, and modern medicine. From the role of the nervous system in whole-body healing, to why access to uncensored science matters more than ever, to the mindset required to reclaim your health—this episode is a wake-up call for anyone who feels the current healthcare system is missing something. The revolution is already happening. The question is whether you’re ready to join it.
Reclaiming Your Biology and Your Rights
By: Dr. Kevin Schultz & Aaron Foster
We are currently witnessing a massive revolution in healthcare. It is a movement that isn't being led by pharmaceutical giants or government agencies, but rather by mothers who are tired of seeing their children sick. These families are reading the research, questioning the status quo, and demanding a shift away from a system that relies almost exclusively on symptom management.
This shift represents a move toward foundational health—understanding that the body is designed to heal itself if interference is removed. To truly reclaim your health, we must look at three critical pillars: the physiology of the nervous system, the truth about genetics, and the fight for medical freedom.
Beyond Back Pain: The Physiology of True Healing
For decades, the public has viewed chiropractic care primarily as a remedy for neck pain, headaches, or back problems. While effective for those issues, this view ignores the physiological reality of the human body.
The spine houses and protects the brain stem, spinal cord, and nerve roots. These nerves exit the spine and travel to every major organ in the body, including the heart, digestive system, and reproductive organs. Consequently, a misalignment in the spine does not just cause pain; it can interfere with the function of these vital organs.
The Science of Asymptomatic Care
In 2004, a massive retrospective analysis looked at the benefits of chiropractic care for "asymptomatic patients"—people who felt fine and had no pain. The researchers wanted to see if adjusting the spine had measurable health benefits beyond pain relief.
The results were profound. The study found positive changes in all 11 organ systems of the body, including the immune system, the cardiovascular system, and the pulmonary system. This confirms that spinal care is not just about fixing a "bad back"; it is about tuning the nervous system to ensure the body is adaptable to its environment.
Epigenetics: Why Your Genes Are Not Your Destiny
A common fear many people face is the idea of "genetic determinism"—the belief that if your parents had diabetes, cancer, or heart disease, you are destined to have it too. This outdated model views genetics as a sentence.
However, modern science points to epigenetics. As biologist Bruce Lipton famously describes it, your genetics are like a loaded shotgun, but your lifestyle pulls the trigger.
You may possess a gene for a specific condition, but it often requires an environmental trigger to express itself.
The Triggers: Toxic foods, chemicals, stress, and a sedentary lifestyle can "pull the trigger".
The Solution: By removing interference—whether through chiropractic care, detoxification, or nutrition—you can keep those genes dormant.
Your health outcome is not based on your parents' history; it is based on whether you choose to repeat their lifestyle decisions or forge a different path.
The Battle for Information and Health Freedom
To make informed decisions about your biology, you need access to uncensored science. Unfortunately, the last decade has seen a "digital book burn" regarding natural health information.
Since 2018, algorithms on major search engines have been altered to de-prioritize natural health websites, often labeling peer-reviewed research on topics like Vitamin D or turmeric as "misinformation". This censorship creates a barrier between the public and the data they need to make informed choices.
The Rise of Health Freedom
In response, a grassroots movement has emerged to protect basic rights, such as:
Parental Rights: The ability for parents to make medical decisions for their children.
Informed Consent: The right to know exactly what is in a medical product and the choice to accept or refuse it.
Local Action: Communities are successfully organizing to advocate for the health of their families. For example, removing toxins like fluoride from municipal water supplies, citing its neurotoxic effects.
Organizations like Stand for Health Freedom are now helping citizens engage with policymakers to ensure that the future of healthcare respects individual sovereignty and constitutional rights.
The Intentional Health Mindset
Finally, reclaiming your health requires winning the mental battle. Research suggests that up to 85% of our self-talk is negative. We constantly tell ourselves we are too tired, too broke, or too far gone to heal.
To achieve foundational health, you must actively "talk back" to these thoughts. Health is not just about diet and exercise; it is about intentionality. Whether it is putting your phone in airplane mode to be 100% present with your family or waking up 30 minutes early to prepare a healthy meal, intentionality builds the trust in yourself necessary to achieve long-term goals.
The revolution in healthcare is here. It is backed by science, driven by results, and fueled by a desire for freedom. The only question remaining is: are you ready to join it?
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is chiropractic care only for back and neck pain?
A: No, that is a common misconception. While chiropractic is excellent for pain relief, its primary focus is the nervous system. The spine protects the spinal cord and nerve roots, which connect to every major organ in the body. Research on asymptomatic patients has shown that adjustments can create positive changes in all 11 organ systems, including the immune, cardiovascular, and digestive systems.
Q: What is the "health freedom" movement?
A: The health freedom movement advocates for constitutional rights regarding medical decisions. This includes parental rights to make choices for children, religious exemptions for medical procedures, and informed consent. It emphasizes the right to know what is in a medical product and the freedom to accept or refuse it without coercion.
Q: Can I really change my health if a disease "runs in my family"?
A: Yes. This concept is based on epigenetics, which suggests that your genes are not your destiny. As discussed in the episode, your genetics are like a loaded shotgun, but your lifestyle choices—such as diet, stress management, and avoiding toxins—are what "pull the trigger". By making different choices than previous generations, you can keep certain disease genes dormant.
Q: Why is it difficult to find natural health information online?
A: In recent years, major search engines and tech platforms have altered algorithms to deprioritize natural health websites, a phenomenon Dr. Joel Bohemier refers to as the "great digital book burn" of 2018. This has led to the censorship of peer-reviewed research on topics like Vitamin D and natural immunity, sometimes labeling it as "misinformation" to protect pharmaceutical interests.
Q: How can I start living a more "intentional" healthy life?
A: You do not need to overhaul your life overnight. Start with small, consistent habits. Dr. Joel recommends:
Waking up early to exercise or have quiet time before the day begins.
Being 100% present with your family by putting your phone away during personal time.
Talking back to negative self-talk to rebuild trust in your ability to achieve health goals.
Q: Where can I find the research mentioned in this episode?
A: You can access over 100,000 abstracts from the National Library of Medicine at GreenMedInfo.com. For resources on advocating for your rights, visit StandForHealthFreedom.com.
