In this episode, Rachel sits down with Dr. Jesse Ross, a chiropractic physician and wellness advocate in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, to explore a radically empowering view of the human body. Drawing from his father’s near-fatal heart condition and his own 30+ years in practice, Dr. Jesse explains why symptoms are signs of adaptation, not failure, and how stress, belief, and behavior shape our physiology. They dive into the Menla (mental) scan, biofeedback technologies, energy and frequency in healing, and the roles of forgiveness, prayer, and present-moment awareness in transforming health. What They Talked About: Dr. Jesse’s Story & Core PhilosophyHow his father’s journey from a 6‑month heart failure prognosis to nearly 20 extra years inspired his work.Why he sees symptoms not as failure, but as the body’s adaptation to stress, belief, and lifestyle.Stress, Lifestyle & “Disease”How high-paced, high-stress modern life (debt, overwork, social media) shapes our physiology.The idea that chronic conditions often reflect long‑term patterns of thought and behavior, not a “broken” body.Mind, Emotion & the Nervous SystemThe roles of the frontal lobe and amygdala in fear, crisis, and emotional patterning.Why every experience is simultaneously emotional, physical, and chemical.The Menla Scan & BiofeedbackWhat the Menla (mental) scan measures: electrical/electromagnetic patterns in organ systems.How he uses it every 12 visits to track adaptation, correlate changes with life events, and empower patients with data.How biofeedback helps interrupt unhelpful emotional and thought loops.Energy, Frequency & Healing ToolsUsing light, sound, and frequency-based technologies to support the body’s natural regulation.Viewing these tools as ways to remove interference, not “fight disease.”Forgiveness, Prayer & PresenceHow self‑judgment loops (“I should have / why did I say that?”) show up as physical tension and chronic stress.The role of forgiveness, prayer/mantra, gratitude, and present-moment awareness in calming the system and shifting physiology.Taking Responsibility for HealthSeeing so-called illness as an adaptive response that can change when behavior and perspective change.Supporting the body with fundamentals: food, movement, rest, clean water, emotional honesty, and nervous system care.Practice: Chiro IQ in Mount Pleasant, SC - https://www.mychiroiq.com/ Contact email: Info@mychiroIQ.com
