This is another episode of the Chiro Hustle podcast. It’s episode 508, 508. You got that right. And today we have Jay Davidson coming out today. Really excited to have this guy talk so much in the game with health and wellness. But as we develop this conversation today, we’re going to talk about some marketing, his company, Cell Core Biosciences. This guy has really done a great job of marketing and getting people onto virtual summits. So if you guys stick around with us, we’re going to talk about some really cool stuff about how he got to where he is today. But before we get into Dr. Jay’s story, which I’m excited to share with everyone today, I’ll tell you our big why, why do we do what we do over here at Chiro Hustle? Well, First Amendment is important to us. So freedom of speech, our show protects that. I’ve never censored anybody. And I think that that’s really, that’s integrity. I let people speak. And we have to remain, we have to keep those channels of communication open and alive. We also believe in family health freedom. We believe that people should have the choice of how they treat their families and what goes into their family’s bodies. And medical freedom is so important too. That’s why we do protect B.J. Palmer Sacred Trust. And if you guys don’t know what B.J. Palmer Sacred Trust is, go do your favorite search engine and look for B.J. Palmer’s last words. You’re going to learn so much more about chiropractic than you previously did. We also believe in a subluxation based chiropractic. So we support subluxation based chiropractic. And we believe in in intelligence and universal intelligence. We believe that when man or woman, the physical gets adjusted, it connects them to man or woman, the spiritual. And with that being said, Dr. J, welcome to the show. DR JAY DAVIDSON DC (GUEST): Good to be here, James. Pretty incredible. I have a 508 episodes. That’s intense. Awesome. JAMES CHESTER (HOST): Well, it comes back to like a standard. And I saw this guy named Joe Borrio at my first mile high chiropractic seminar out in out here in Colorado where I live. And he was on stage and I just heard him like it was like a broken record. He said, tell the story, tell the story, tell the story, tell the story. Like every third thing he said. And from that day, it like tattooed onto my brain. And I’m like, well, I guess we have to start telling the story better. And the rest is history, as they say. So jumping into you, the practitioner, Dr. J Davidson, what is your story? How did you get into chiropractic and just take us down the journey? DR JAY DAVIDSON DC (GUEST): I was always interested in sports. Very heavily. And then just would be injured quite a bit, especially with a knee injury. And then I got so bad that between my junior and senior year in high school between baseball seasons, so it’s a pretty good baseball player, I had knee surgery. And from that point, I went after the knee surgery right in a knee mobilizer. I chronically dislocate my kneecap is what I suffered with. And so they put me in a knee mobilizer, six, six and a half weeks out of that, took it off and basically saw that my left quad muscle was the same size as my right calf muscle. It was like, oh my gosh, like my muscle literally just disappeared right from immobilizing it for six weeks or six and a half weeks. And then it was sent to a PT to do rehab. And I was like, wow, this is awesome. I want to be a PT. And the PT actually told me, right, physical therapist, like you don’t want to be a PT, be like a PA or do something else, but you definitely don’t want to be a physical therapist. I’m like, OK, well, something in health. So I went to college UW lacrosse Wisconsin lacrosse and just did their survey. And basically it was chiropractor, massage therapist. I’m like, oh, chiropractor. And my mom said, why don’t you come meet mine? And so I went talk to him, got an adjustment, talked about lifestyle things. And I was like, yeah, this is awesome. So that was my decision to go into chiropractic. And then along the way, met my wife before chiropractic school. She was supposed to go to Palmer, Iowa, dropped out the day before to come to Northwestern in Minnesota with me. So that obviously got pretty serious. So we went to school together, which was awesome. And graduated together, opened a practice. And pretty much hit the ground running. You know, did a cash base practice from the get go. Very small amount, you know, Medicare back in Wisconsin, the Milwaukee area. And you know, went from zero to 90 patients in, or what was it? Zero to 300 patients a week in 90 days once we opened. So yeah, went hit the ground running pretty fast. And then was up to about 670 visits a week. Primarily, you know, my wife was a Chiro, but she kind of ran the office, did exams and things. She’d adjust some of the little, little, you know, infants and tics and stuff like that. For the most part, I adjusted, you know, probably 98% of the people in the practice. And I just got tired. I was like, wow, you know, after, so we go to a conference and, you know, so we basically work double shifts on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday fly out. And it was like to take a few days off to go to a conference to then slam like, you know, 200 people in on a Monday. I was so tired. I got to the conference, I just remember just being like exhausted. And actually, I actually got burnt out. There was a time where I wanted to quit and it’s like, maybe I should just day trade or like do something else. And then my wife got pregnant. She had our daughter. She’s about, she’s going to soon to be 11 years old. So I was his almost 11 years ago, had her and bottom fell out, crashed. I mean, she couldn’t recover. Her body stopped breast, stopped producing breast milk after about two months. So she obviously stopped breastfeeding. We went to the whole western a price method. And at that time, I knew, I knew Jordan Rubin and he gave me the recipe. What he did, I think for a couple of his kids, adopted kids and things like that. And so we did the goat milk and whipped up, you know, basically milk from then on, you know, homemade milk, till she obviously grew up to be a little older. And, and at that point, we thought it was Lyme disease, because my wife was sick when she was seven years old Lyme disease. It was a coma for about six weeks. And so her health issues started from there. So of course, we thought flare up of Lyme. And one of the tests showed that. But obviously looking back now, I realized it was much more than that, which we can obviously dive into. But my whole existence, you know, from really being structural correction chiropractic, CBP trained and, you know, interest in clear institute and pedabon and, you know, just going to all kinds of seminars on chiropractic and really, you know, doing what I, what I considered structural correction. But it was, it was like I was hitting a wall. And obviously once my wife got really sick and nearly died, it was, it was actually really bad shift to the focus to figure out what, what we need to do to get her well. And obviously going back to BJ Palmer, you mentioned earlier, right, he always talked about thoughts, traumas and toxins, three T’s. And I was like, damn, we’re missing something, like totally missing something. And obviously fast forward, looking back now, I realized being in the town of Waukesha, near Milwaukee, they have some of the highest radium in the water supply. And radium is a radioactive element that basically when you drink it, it’s like essentially drinking hot coals that have been on the fire. And it just absolutely destroys your mitochondria, which is really why I believe lime is rampant in that Midwest area is because of some of the toxins in that. I’d also throw glyphosate in that category too. But basically going down the route and figuring out what works my wife, she seemed to react everything. Right. So my told is, hey, do this. And it was like would cause the opposite reaction. Was a good learning experience. It was very stressful, very challenging, but pretty much put me into functional medicine. So we sold our chiropractic office, did functional medicine, launched some summits, and then just couldn’t keep up with the people. So hired some practitioners to help. And then back in 2017, I was at a conference and my brother was with me because he helped do media and things like that. And he looked over at me and my friend, Dr. Todd Watts. And he’s like, why don’t you guys partner? Why don’t you guys come out with some better parasite stuff? And I was like, oh, that’s, you know, parasite formulas, antiparasitic type formulas, supplement wise. And I said, oh, that’s a good idea. And Todd said, yeah, that’s a good idea. And I was like, okay, I guess this is happening. So we started cell core biosciences. And what I thought just being like a hobby, you know, this will be fun, you know, clearing worms out, right? It’s always fun when people poop worms out and he send you pictures and things like that, and basically turned into a whole different movement of foundational medicine and really getting deeper into the root cause, mitochondria, drainage, detoxification, parasite cleansing. I mean, all these different environmental toxin, toxicants, poisons that were being surrounded by, but yet on the media, all it’s talked about is this, you know, imaginary virus. And it’s like, wow, how, how we’re just really being misled down the wrong path. And to see the amount of censorship, like you mentioned as well to James, it’s just, it’s incredible. Yeah, chiropractic is amazing. Saw lives change just for my own path with my wife crashing, you know, went down the detoxification route to get her life back. And now she’s the healthiest she’s ever been. And that’s where cell core biosciences really birth from just bringing solutions that didn’t exist, you know, into more of the, what I’d say, functional medicine, or almost probably a good way to say it. JAMES CHESTER (HOST): Yeah, I think just listening to the story and the, the, the closer the closing there is a little bit about your wife. And I think, you know, it goes back to, I grew up in Iowa, not much different than from Wisconsin or from Minnesota except for, you know, region. It’s the same region. But you probably know this just because of spending time there, like, it’s a farming, farming nation, like we were the, the heartland. We’re the people. Life is eight. Yes, yes, yes. Monsanto. And, and I think that, you know, back in the day, you know, somebody got injured or they weren’t healthy or they couldn’t, you know, farm anymore. People would actually sell the farm to save someone’s life. And if that was the case, that’s why they started health insurance actually was for the farming industry. Because if somebody went down, they would want to make sure that there was insurance for that family to, to carry on. So that’s really how the health insurance happened with the farmers. So when I hear the story about your wife and you did everything you could, now she’s like super healthy, that people all have that hope, you know, and I think that there’s a lot of hope for people out there specifically with chiropractic. But I like how that you’ve tiered this up now and now you figure out how to like, it’s actually bio hacking. You look into somebody, you find out what’s going on and then you fill in the gap. So when did you realize that that was the missing link? DR JAY DAVIDSON DC (GUEST): Um, well, so my, my daughter was born in 2012, um, July 4th, baby. And two years leading up to that, my wife would not fly on an airplane. So she stopped coming to conferences with me because of the anxiety of just thinking about getting on a flight. And this was somebody that grew up traveling to Florida, you know, for her annual family outing and just never an issue. So it was like, where’d this come from? So we definitely had, um, we have warning signs, but we didn’t listen to them. And I really believe that, um, if you’re having health symptoms, those are your warning signs. And if you’re not figuring it out, those warning signs are just going to keep getting louder and so it got really loud. I mean, there was a time where, you know, I remember, um, actually don’t even like talking about this cause I get so emotional, but I remember laying next to my wife when we’re in Wisconsin and not wanting to go to bed because I didn’t know if she’d be alive when I woke up cause it was so, it was so bad. And to know that there really, there wasn’t anyone that we seem to rely on that could understand this, you know, sensitive kind of strange case and what to do. And I knew from my chiropractic training that pharmaceuticals are just masking the symptom. But when you really look at modern functional medicine, what you realize is a lot of it’s the same stuff. You’re still taking instead of a petroleum based pharmaceutical, you’re now switching it to a supplement to now go after a symptom rather than get deeper. And that, that was kind of the big aha with myself and how I would, I would even say biohacking. I obviously understand people’s, um, you know, thought process on biohacking, but it’s like unless you’re getting to the root cause, like you could never stop biohacking. And it’s like, I don’t believe that yo…
