Welcome, everyone, to the Winner Wellness Podcast. I'm Mike Stewart, and I'm here interviewing our resident expert, Dr. Jack Winner, from Winner Wellness. Dr. Jack, are you here?

Yes, Mike, I'm here. Good to be here and chat with you.

I'm thrilled about the launch of this podcast, and I believe our listeners will gain a lot of valuable insights from it. Let's dive right in. Dr. Winner, with your 37 years in healthcare, focused on natural treatment methods, the term "natural" might not be well understood by everyone. Could you provide a solid definition of natural healthcare?

Certainly, Mike. You're absolutely right. The term "natural healthcare" can be confusing and even intimidating for many. I'm glad you're asking this question because it's an opportunity to clarify. Natural healthcare involves facilitating the body's innate healing capacity. When we talk with patients, we emphasize that the body itself is a natural healer. This notion is generally understood. However, people often wonder why their bodies aren't healing their ailments naturally. Practitioners of natural healthcare assist the body's healing process by addressing limitations or restrictions that hinder its natural healing mechanisms. The ultimate goal is for the body to achieve a symptom-free state, indicative of genuine health.

But isn't being symptom-free a sign of being healthy?

That's a great question, Mike. While living symptom-free is certainly desirable, it doesn't necessarily equate to being entirely healthy. Many people associate being symptom-free with good health. However, the absence of symptoms doesn't always mean that one is healthy. Unfortunately, there are instances where individuals who appeared to be in good health suddenly face severe health crises, such as unexpected heart attacks or terminal conditions. So, while being symptom-free is an essential aspect of health, it's only part of the picture. True health extends beyond the absence of symptoms.

Given the growing discussion around natural healthcare, most people might not fully comprehend what it entails. Can you elaborate on what natural healthcare encompasses?

Certainly, Mike. Natural healthcare is a comprehensive system that includes various methods and procedures. These include acupuncture, chiropractic care, kinesiology, and biofeedback, among others. While the specific techniques may vary, they all share the common goal of supporting the body's natural healing abilities. Instead of relying on drugs or surgical interventions to address symptoms, these natural approaches focus on restoring proper alignment and function within the body.

The techniques aim to help the body realign itself and overcome any restrictions that might be impeding its healing processes. By using these procedures, we facilitate the body's innate capacity to heal and restore balance. Essentially, natural healthcare empowers the body to heal itself in the most effective way possible.

As this is our first podcast, it's important to establish a solid foundation. Dr. Winner, could you provide our listeners with more insight into your background, your approach, and what sets you apart in introducing patients to natural healthcare?

Absolutely, Mike. I specialize in a combination of chiropractic and kinesiology, which I've been practicing for around 37 years. Chiropractic initially taught me to alleviate nerve pressure by adjusting misaligned bones, thereby freeing the body's nerve communication pathways. However, I soon realized that to achieve lasting results, addressing muscle imbalances was crucial. This led me to the field of kinesiology.

My practice involves identifying muscle weaknesses and imbalances and rectifying them through kinesiology techniques. This comprehensive approach encompasses elements like acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic care, meridian flows, and nutritional support. The underlying principle is to ensure the body functions optimally, enabling it to heal itself naturally.

Throughout my years of practice, I've continuously expanded my knowledge and incorporated various techniques into my approach. My aim has always been to empower individuals to achieve maximum health and vitality through natural means.
