Jeremy BrookGUEST
No, no disrespect, uh, Parker, uh, University system.
Jeremy BrookGUEST
And then I checked out the two schools up in northern California because I was told, "Stay away from LACC," Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, now called Southern California University Health System, primarily because they were not practicing authentic traditional chiropractic, and they were just veering away from the foundational, uh, concepts and principles, which is unfortunate.
Jeremy BrookGUEST
Uh, so I checked out Life West and Palmer West.
Jeremy BrookGUEST
Palmer West just had like a brand-new sleek, uh, facility, and they were also at the time like top-notch in sports chiropractic.
Steve TulliusHOST
And that, that challenge is happening everywhere, you know.
Steve TulliusHOST
I went to Los Angeles College of Chiropractic because of proximity.
Steve TulliusHOST
I grew up...
Steve TulliusHOST
You know, and I, and I had no idea of this massive philosophical divide and scope divide that was in the profession.
Will ColeGUEST
So I made money at The Finish Line at 17, 18 years old, and would go to the health food store and buy the latest herbs or supplements or whatever that I'd be reading about.
Will ColeGUEST
And then that just evolved from a personal passion to wanna be formally trained in this when I went to an integrated medicine school called Southern California University of Health Sciences, and I'd heard of a guy who had gone to my school, to get to your question more pointedly, his name was Datis Kharrazian, who had gone to my school.
Will ColeGUEST
He was older than I was, but he was talking about this very niche, specific subset of health, uh, health sciences called functional medicine.
Will ColeGUEST
And even today, d- Dr. Kharrazian is one of the kind of leaders in the space on the academic side more than anything.
