Let’s hustle! LUKE MILLETT (PRODUCER): Hey guys, welcome to episode 547 of the Chiro Hustle Podcast. I’m your producer, Luke Mallett, and here’s your host, James Chester. JAMES CHESTER (HOST): So today we have the opportunity of interviewing Dr. Benjamin Benoulis. We talk about how to reverse autoimmune disease without drugs or their side effects on this episode. Stay tuned! JAMES CHESTER (HOST): Welcome back! This is another episode of the Chiro Hustle Podcast. They have Benjamin Benulis on. This guy has been out of Chiro School for six years. JAMES CHESTER (HOST): He is working on some of the worst case scenarios when it comes to people’s medical framework. And that is their scaffolding looks like a body, but they’re sick from what then. And that’s autoimmune disease. And a lot of people don’t know what to do or where to go for these things. So I’m really excited to talk to him about his book, Create Health and Reverse Auto Immune Disease Without Drugs or their side effects. I think it’s going to be a really powerful message that he’s going to share with us today. And we’re going to touch on topics of autoimmunity, the big seaward, COVID. I know that that’s something that a lot of people are still curious about and how to help people with those types of transgressions and where we are today, which is hopefully better, but we’ll see. And then I know it’s another big topic and I’m sure I’m going to get some social media pushed back from the platform. So we’re going to talk about vaccine injuries. And I think it’s kind of like one of those topics that’s like, if you know anything, don’t talk about it. But hey, this is Chiro Hustle and I’m going to give you the intro. So you are a big why. Why do we do what we do? Well, we believe in freedom of speech. We’ve never censored anyone. We wholeheartedly believe in the First Amendment. People should be able to say what they want to say when they want to say it, wherever they want to say it. And on Chiro Hustle, that’s what we provide. On top of that, we also believe in medical freedom and family health freedom. They’re not the same things, but we want to make sure that we support Chiro Project because I do believe that Chiro Project is the only thing that stands in the way between freedom of health and medical freedom and medical tyranny. So those things that I believe and I think a lot of people listen to our show believe in too. And all I ask people that get into this episode is to share the show. That’s our feat. For listening to what we do and for all the time I provide to everybody, please share the show. If you’re out there, it needs to hear what we’re talking about today. So hit the share button, comment, share the show on all platforms so everybody can hear what Dr. Benjamin has to share with us today. And then we’ll get more philosophical within the Chiro Project profession. I do believe in protecting the Sacred Trust that people want to know more about Chiro Project, go and search for BJ Palmer’s last words, go and search for BJ Palmer Sacred Trust. You’re going to find out more about Chiro Project than you ever knew I’d guarantee you. And then I know this is a long intro, but it’s all necessary stuff. And I always tell people if you don’t listen to the whole episode, at least you know where we stand with with our show. And then we support civilization based Chiro Project because they’re taking it out of the schools. And I want this to get on every campus and I want every Chiro Project present to hear these shows because what you’re doing is taking the philosophy out of these schools, which is not okay. It’s not okay with the Chiro Project profession. Like in intelligence and universal intelligence, they’re not historical context. They’re real deal chiropractic terms and knowledge and philosophy. So we believe that when man or woman, the physical gets adjusted and connects them to man or woman is spiritual. And with that being said, this is episode 547 of the Chiro House of podcasts. Dr. Benjamin, welcome to the show. DR BENJAMIN BENULIS DC (GUEST): Glad to be here, Jim. JAMES CHESTER (HOST): Yeah, lots of fire there, right? DR BENJAMIN BENULIS DC (GUEST): Oh, yeah. JAMES CHESTER (HOST): Yeah. So I do like the first question that we always ask people is your story because I’m curious and I don’t know much about your background. I got a bio of like two and a half sentences. So tell me your story and how did you get into this beautiful profession? DR BENJAMIN BENULIS DC (GUEST): Sure, and I’ll try to keep it succinct, but it’s a roundabout journey for sure, my man. So grew up in Massachusetts, very like traditional New England upbringing. A lot of medical doctors in my family was brought up heavily indoctrinated into the medical model. Grandfather was a medical doctor, stepdad’s a medical doctor, uncles, stuff like that. So actually wanted to be a biomedical engineer. And I went through like a special program in high school called the biotech academy, which was basically an indoctrination camp to become a pharma goon and went into college studying biomedical engineering and the first semester ironically was when they started putting pharmaceutical ads on TV and never seen them before, right? And that was like when it first came out, it was really weird because it was like, you know, take Prozac and like you’ll feel better. And by the way, side effects includes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, death, dismemberment, like shitting your organs out your ass. And you’re like, whoa, okay, that’s pretty crazy. And so I was seeing those and I was like, man, I just don’t. And then there was like Viagra ads. And I was just like, this is what I’m working on. This is my path. If I can like this, like innately something was like, no, no, jump ship, open the side hatch and roll out because this is going out a bad way, you know? And this was like late 90s, right? And so just, you know, I had an act for math and science. I went into mechanical engineering, worked about 10 years in the tech industry doing microchip stuff, you know, fancy schmancy tech job. And you know, who was good at, made good money, never really felt like I was doing anything like worthwhile in the world. And but just stuck with it because, you know, like it’s society’s expectations. Like I was in the eyes of the average person. I was, I was winning, you know? But I didn’t feel filled. And in my late 20s, I came down with sort of come down with a bunch of health problems that doctors couldn’t diagnose or really tell me what was going on. And I just kind of got the run around from the medical system. You know, if you go to the general practitioner, like I got chronic fatigue, I got chronic muscle pain. And at least digestive issues, my hands are breaking out in this weird skin condition. What do you do for me? Oh, we’ll send you to the dermatologist for your skin and the gastroenterologist for your stomach and the dermatologist for your pain. And it’s like, oh, okay, cool. Like I’m going to get the treatment. You know, so one doctor explodes into like five or six. And they’re just giving me, you know, like each one’s doing his own test and whatever. And then basically just giving me the run around like the Pope and an abortion clinic, man, like just no answers, right? And like, oh, your lab’s looking normal. Everything’s fine. I don’t think I was wrong with you. Oh, it must be all in your head. Oh, it must be anxiety. Oh, you know, I think you just need to, you know, you think you’re going to go in with the mystery medical condition. It’s going to be like a show house where they’re like, I’m going to figure it out and do whatever it takes to figure it out, right? They’re like, no, it’s more like, oh, if you consider that maybe you’re crazy, you know, you’re faking it. So you know, after about like six months of that, I just kind of get fed up of like, it’s getting worse, you know? And so I start like looking into things on my own because I’m like, I kind of put my hope in the medical system and just realized I just weren’t equipped to help. And so it’s very reluctant, right? And I start just being a, being a, you know, the term biohacker didn’t exist back then, but that’s what I was doing. I was just like massively self educating, massively self experimenting. And so just started, you know, reading up on things, trying things. And I came across information that was like, well, if you change your diet, you know, maybe realize problems go away and not doing that, whatever, you know? But it’s continuous things, you get worse and options kept running out. It’s kind of painted into a corner like, okay, I guess I’m going to do this. And so this is like 2010ish. And meanwhile, like my chronic fatigue so bad, I can barely function at my job, you know, like I’m in so much pain, like the conditions continuing to get worse. And so I’m like, okay, I’m just start making smoothies. Like I’m just, that’s a way of heating healthy, right? And then I went upset my stomach. Like I was eating everything out of a microwave, right? You put the food in the microwave, you close the door, you hit the button, the minute later you got your food. Well, okay, I’ll just do the same thing with a blender, like open up the blender, throw the food some vegetables in, hit a button or two, and bam, just knock it back because I don’t, I don’t want to make it complicated. So that’s what I started doing. And started feeling better. And like the more I did it, like, whoa, like, you know, the better I felt. So started educating more and more on it and came across a lot of the old school natural hygiene guys who were chiropractors around like, from about like 1920 to about 1950-ish who ran fasting centers and basically sanitariums where people would come and like just eat healthy food and fast and rest and heal all these crazy chronic diseases. And so that got me just real excited. Like I just became like, you know, I was kind of self-educating the beginning because I wanted to get better. But then as I felt better and saw results, I was like, man, how come I never learned any of this stuff? You know, and just started reading books and books and books and books. And it was interesting that all the guys that were doing this were chiropractors because I was taught growing up like, you know, you know, those people are just, you know, guys who are too dumb to go to medical school, you don’t want to stay away from them. You know, meanwhile my stepdad just has like fifth or sixth neck surgery, you know, can’t pull up his own pants. How’s that working out for you? So at some point, like I was able to heal everything with diet and you know, it’s still working the tech job, getting more and more disillusioned with it. And at one point I thought, man, I should just like, I should become a doctor. Like I know way more than all these like chuckleheads couldn’t get me better just from like reading books in my own healing journey. And I was like, well, what I want to do, you know? And I was like, MD was like off the table. I was like, I’m not going to spend five years learning drugs and surgery because I’m never going to do it, you know, like just for the credentials to help with that. And then I was like, naturopath, you know, maybe, but I was living in Texas at the time and it wasn’t licensed. So it kind of stumbled into chiropractic kind of backdoor. And then a lot of these guys that I looked up to were chiropractors. And you know, I had gone to them for various like sports injuries over the years, but they were all like pain docs, like kind of, you know, mixers, whatever you want to call it. Like they weren’t really subluxation based. But they helped me, you know, for sure. So I was like, there must be this like old school cadre that’s kind of died out, in my opinion. I didn’t really know about principal chiropractic. Like, I just thought that that was something that just kind of died. And but I was like, that’s, you know, that’s what I want to do. And so like we were talking about, I went to LACC and it was cool because I kind of fell in with the people in the know early on, like one of my classmates was like, we’re going to go to this dead chiropractor society thing. Like you should check it out. I’m like, okay, cool. Like, like you’re one of the cool ones. I’m like, okay, whatever. Like I really didn’t know I was getting myself into with the school and everything. And went to the first DCS meeting met Billy D. And was like, oh, okay, this is exactly where I’m supposed to be. Awesome. So yeah, went through school, did a preceptorship in place called True North Health Center, which is a fasting center run by Dr. Alan Goldhammer is a DC in Santa Rosa, California. It’s a residential inpatient inpatient place or basically people come and eat the food and do supervised fasts and heal from, you know, autoimmune disease, heart conditions, stage three, four cancer, all kinds of stuff, Parkinson’s, you know, all kinds of craziness. Like I saw it happen in real time. The people come in there sick and leave a month or two later like completely freaking transform. So that was a cool experience. And then, you know, just kind of, there was really passion about what I was doing. You know, first few years I’d in practice, I didn’t know what, I don’t know, I just wanted to help people. I had a skill set. I got really into network, networks final in school. Still practice that, love it. And it was just kind of slinging my thing, doing my thing and, you know, trying to help people and really struggle with marketing and sales in the beginning. But I caught my sea legs and put out a book last year like we were talking about. And so, so yeah, I mean, I still practice as a DC. And I put my time about 50-50 between adjusting and health coaching. And yeah, it’s basically my story. JAMES CHESTER (HOST): You know, you said a lot of really like fundamental things. I have one follow up question. Sure. When was your first chiropractor, Jess? And how old were you? DR BENJAMIN BENULIS DC (GUEST): I was probably like 23, 24. JAMES CHESTER (HOST): Were you on chiropractic school then? DR BENJAMIN BENULIS DC (GUEST): No, no, I didn’t start chiropractic school too. I was like 31. JAMES CHESTER (HOST): Okay. So what was your time like understanding chiropractic coming from a medical minded family and background and then starting to do all this study and when did it like strike you that like chiropractic was a thing that was helping besides the fasting? DR BENJAMIN BENULIS DC (GUEST): Good question. When I first started, honestly, I was in a relationship with a girl who had like worked for chiropractors. And she was just like, you got to go see this guy. It’s like, you got to get adjusted. It’s good for your health overall. And I was like, does my insurance cover it? And she’s like, yeah. I’m like, okay. So I just go as guys, you know, and I’m just, my insurance is covering. And I’m just going and seeing this dude, Dr. Daniel Gonzalez Austin, Texas, awes…
