Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), shares a holistic perspective on health news today. Dr. Jack starts with a history lesson of how the medical world of today came to be the way it is, including how medical schools came to be and how they were funded at the beginning , as well as the Rockefeller influence on how medical schools began to be funded by pharmaceutical companies, and the curriculum began to change. 

Back to the Rockefeller influence, the Rockefeller family fundamentally shaped modern Western medicine in the early 20th century by funding allopathic (pharmaceutical-based) medicine while sidelining holistic practices. Through massive philanthropic investments, the Rockefeller Foundation and Institute for Medical Research established standardized, laboratory-based research, creating the framework for modern "Big Pharma" and specialized medical education. 

Dr. Jack’s job as a NUCCA Chiropractor is to remove torsion and  tension on the brain stem, where it exits the skull and turns into the spinal cord. If you’re unfamiliar with what NUCCA chiropractic (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) means, it is is a gentle, precise, non-invasive technique focusing on correcting the alignment between the head and neck (the atlas vertebra). It uses specialized x-rays to measure and correct spinal imbalances without any twisting, cracking, or popping, aiming to restore nervous system function and improve overall health Now, that’s only half of Dr. Jack’s job. The other half is to take care of his patients’ overall physiology. Whether it’s the nervous system, digestion, elimination, the immune system, the skeletal system, the cardiovascular system, and whatever else. 

Lastly, Doug joins Dr. Jack for a conversation addressing listener questions. Included is a focus on what we’ve learned from the Artemis astronauts, medically speaking. The Artemis astronauts provide critical data on deep-space health effects, revealing that, unlike low-Earth orbit, deep space increases risks from higher radiation and intense fluid shifts. Key findings include significant, rapid bone marrow changes, cardiovascular adaptation to microgravity (fluid shift to the head), increased vestibular disorientation upon reentry, and immune system weakening, which helps develop countermeasures for future Mars missions.

Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with weight-loss drugs showing side benefits in the case of the epidemic of obesity also being linked to a rise in cancer cases. With these weight-loss drugs bringing obesity in patients down, it shows promise against certain cancers, especially breast cancer. This is good news. In other good news, there is a breakthrough in AI leading to capabilities of cancer treatments as well as antibiotic resistant infections. 

Shifting focus to GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), there is a breakthrough with recent focus on novel, non-PPI medications and minimally invasive device therapies for treatment-refractory cases. Key advancements include Potassium-Competitive Acid Blockers (PCABs) like Vonoprazan, the magnetic LINX system to strengthen the esophagus, and new anti-pepsin treatments.

Continuing on, Doug and Dr. Ken address a common misconception that gluten intolerance causes GERD. The reality is more of an association as opposed to cause and effect. People who have a gluten intolerance often also have GERD. People who have GERD likely have a gluten intolerance. They are located commonly in the same patients, but it doesn’t mean one caused the other. 

Next up, a focus on food coloring that comes from natural sources, specifically blue food coloring now coming from gardenia as opposed to the horrible dyes that tend to cause poor health and other conditions. This comes under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s inspiration. Other things Kennedy is doing that is helping the American population is a focus on safe vaccines, as well as a CDC notification of COVID-19 now following a twice a year peak season.  

Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions, starting with semaglutide and other weight loss drugs, which originated as diabetes drugs, are showing to provide better limp protection than other diabetes drugs when it comes to diabetes effect on limbs and a common complication of patients needing amputation of affected limbs. Additionally, a conversation over the COVID-19 vaccine. All this and more on this episode of Good Day Health.

Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), shares a holistic perspective on health news today. A primary focus is the current state of the medical world with a mindset of pharmaceuticals for anything and everything, as opposed to treating the illness with a preventative mindset. 

Dr. Jack looks at cancer as an example, with a thought that, perhaps, we’re looking in the wrong place for curing cancer. Cancer is a mega-business. According to Dr. Jack, more people are making their living off of cancer than there are cancer patients. More people are paying off their mortgage, car loans, student loans, their children's’ student loans from the cancer business than there are people actually suffering from cancer. 

When our body is on too many medications, it relies on those medications instead of relying on our immune systems. The focus on improving our immune system has been less in the focus as treating illness. The body constantly generates abnormal or damaged cells that have the potential to become cancer, but the immune system (especially T cells and natural killer cells) typically acts as a quality control mechanism to destroy them. This process, often called "immune surveillance," prevents these cells from growing into tumors. Being overmedicated hinders your body’s natural ability to fight. 

Then, Doug joins Dr. Jack to address listener questions, starting with the “grass-fed edge.” Grass-fed beef provides a significant nutritional edge over conventional, grain-fed beef due to its superior fatty acid profile, higher antioxidant levels, and lower overall fat content. Cattle that eat only grass and forage (grass-finished) produce meat that acts as a cleaner, more nutrient-dense protein source, offering benefits for heart health, weight management, and reduced inflammation.

Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with drug companies and their pricing for medications, with most companies being headquartered hear in the US, yet Americans are charged far more for the same drugs as other countries. 

Next up, the FDA’s approval for the first at-home cervical cancer screening, a bar code scanner helps consumers know what’s really in their food and cosmetics, and how cinnamon might help our bodies absorb medication. 

When it comes to hearing aids, there is a problem with people getting older and experiencing loneliness, occurring mostly because they can’t hear well enough to maintain essential, social connections. It appears to be a real problem with hearing aids countering an epidemic of loneliness among senior citizens. So, why do so many people, who are hard of hearing, refuse the help of modern hearing aids?

In unfortunate medical news, there is a rise in adult patients becoming addicted to opioids with a new study confirming the drug use. The number of Americans using illicit opioids is 20x higher than previously estimated, with 11% of American adults report illicit opioid use within the last 12 months. 

Doug and Dr. Ken continue on with addressing listener questions, including supplements like Vitamin D and B12, addressing why the focus on these two supplements over any others. Vitamin D and B12 are essential for energy metabolism, immune system strengthening, and neurological health. They work together to improve gut health, with B12 supporting stomach acid production and D3 balancing the microbiome. Key benefits include improved cognitive function, bone health, nerve protection, and reduced fatigue, with combined supplementation often improving balance.

Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), shares a holistic perspective on one of the biggest topics in health today: “free” health screenings. While these screenings may seem beneficial, many can lead to costly follow-up tests, unnecessary treatments, and increased anxiety—often driven by false positives or overdiagnosis. In some cases, they serve as a gateway to generate revenue for healthcare providers, insurers, or pharmaceutical companies.

Dr. Jack explains that while early detection can be helpful when legitimate issues are found, it’s becoming harder to distinguish between genuine care and profit-driven practices. He also highlights how billing loopholes—even under laws like the Affordable Care Act—can leave patients with unexpected expenses, and warns that some screenings may even be scams aimed at collecting insurance information.

The takeaway: be cautious, verify providers, and consult your primary doctor before pursuing additional testing.

Then, Doug joins Dr. Jack to address listener questions. The primary focus consists of keeping your mind healthy to help the longevity of life. Physical and cognitive decline can coincide, but those who have a positive mindset to aging can have a better chance at “growing old” with minimal decline, as opposed to those who focus on getting old and the downsides of aging can then cause more rapid deterioration. It’s the indisputable mind-body connection.
