    Most people say they want change. But very few are willing to do what change actually requires.

    Diagnosed with Down Syndrome and Autism- So WHY is HE outperforming Expectations- Kyle Landi

    Most people don’t fail because of their limitations… They fail because of the limits placed on them. In this episode of the Crackin’ Backs Podcast, we sit down with Kyle Landi and his mother Kimberly—a duo who are redefining what’s possible for individuals living with Down syndrome, autism, and developmental challenges.

    More Veterans are Dying at HOME than at WAR!! Is IBOGAINE the answer we're ignoring? Scott Roesler

    Most people think healing gives you your life back. But what if it costs you the life you knew? In this episode of the Crackin’ Backs Podcast, we sit down with Scott Roessler, an 11-tour Special Operations veteran who stepped into one of the most controversial and rapidly emerging treatments in mental health—ibogaine therapy. After years of invisible battles with PTSD, trauma, and nervous system overload, Scott became part of a Stanford-led ibogaine study exploring whether this powerful psychedelic compound could help reset the brain. But this is not a highlight reel. This is the part no one talks about: 👉 What happens after the breakthrough 👉 The identity shifts that follow deep healing 👉 The work required to make it last In This Episode, We Explore: What ibogaine therapy is and how it may impact the brain and PTSD Why preparation, coaching, and integration are critical for success The truth about psychedelic therapy for veterans and first responders Why healing can disrupt identity, relationships, and purpose The risks, misconceptions, and real-world outcomes of ibogaine Why more veterans are dying from suicide than combat—and what we may be missing Whether ibogaine should become FDA-approved or remain outside traditional medicine If you’ve ever searched: “Ibogaine therapy for PTSD” “Can psychedelics heal trauma?” “Veteran mental health solutions” This episode offers a raw, firsthand perspective from someone who lived it. About Scott Roessler Scott Roessler is a retired U.S. Special Operations veteran who served 11 combat tours and has become a powerful voice in the conversation around veteran mental health, PTSD recovery, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. After struggling with the long-term effects of combat stress, Scott participated in a Stanford research study on ibogaine therapy, helping bring awareness to alternative approaches to healing trauma. Today, he speaks openly about: Life after combat The hidden cost of survival The importance of integration and purpose after healing His story is not about escaping pain—  It’s about confronting it, and rebuilding from the inside out.

    You’re Chasing the Next Fix—But Ignoring What Your Body Needs Most- Dr. Jason Pencek

    Everyone’s chasing the next breakthrough in health. Peptides.  Hormones.  IV therapy.  Regenerative injections. But what if the real problem isn’t what you’re taking…  it’s that your body has stopped responding? In this episode of the Crackin’ Backs Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Jason Pencek to explore a different lens on healing—one based on cellular signaling, communication, and restoring the body’s ability to respond, not just adding more inputs. This is a conversation about what’s real, what’s hype, and what people are getting dangerously wrong when they experiment with their health. In This Episode, We Explore: Why healing isn’t about adding more supplements—but restoring cellular communication The truth about peptides (BPC-157, TB-500, growth hormone peptides)—what works vs hype How therapies like IV hydration and nutrients, hormone optimization, and regenerative injections actually work What Neural Prolotherapy (NPT) is—and how simple irritants like dextrose can trigger healing Why more people are experiencing hormone imbalance, low testosterone, and burnout Where people are going wrong with biohacking and self-experimentation When IV therapy becomes a real clinical tool vs just expensive hydration Why fixing foundations (sleep, hydration, stress, metabolism) still outperforms most “advanced” therapies If you’ve ever searched: “Do peptides work?” “IV therapy benefits” “How to heal faster naturally” “Regenerative medicine for injuries” This episode gives you real-world clinical perspective—not internet opinions. About Dr. Jason Pencek Dr. Jason Pencek is a physician specializing in regenerative medicine, hormone optimization, and integrative therapies, focusing on restoring the body’s natural healing processes through cellular signaling and biologic interventions. His work integrates: Peptide therapy IV nutrient protocols Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) Regenerative injections (including prolotherapy techniques) Dr. Pencek is known for combining cutting-edge therapies with a strong emphasis on foundational health principles, helping patients move beyond symptom management toward true physiological restoration and performance. Why This Episode Matters We’re living in a time where: Biohacking is trending Peptides are widely available People are self-experimenting without guidance But without understanding how the body actually communicates and heals, more interventions don’t always equal better results. Sometimes, the most powerful change comes from restoring the system—not overriding it.   We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.
