What if the spine isn’t just structural—but central to how the body heals, adapts, and thrives?

In this episode of Rooted & Wild, we sit down with Dr. Brad Wolf to explore how chiropractic spinal care can serve as a powerful form of nervous system preservation—and why it plays a critical role in long-term health, resilience, and aging well.

Dr. Wolf shares his deeply personal journey, beginning with a childhood marked by asthma, allergies, and chronic immune weakness. From frequent ER visits and inhalers to gasping for air on the soccer field, simply breathing felt like a daily struggle. As a young adult, he searched relentlessly for answers—exploring Tai Chi, yoga, meditation, acupuncture, herbs, Ayurveda, massage, and eventually becoming a licensed bodyworker himself.

But it was his first chiropractic adjustment—initially driven by curiosity—that changed everything.

As Dr. Wolf began receiving regular chiropractic care, his immune system strengthened dramatically. Illnesses that once lingered for weeks began resolving in days—or even hours. This profound shift set him on a lifelong path, ultimately leading him to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis in 1996.

In this conversation, we explore:

• The spine’s relationship to the nervous system and immune function
• Why chiropractic care is about preservation—not just pain relief
• How the body can heal without drugs or surgery when interference is removed
• Aging better, living pain-free, and reclaiming agency over your health
• Why modern health culture urgently needs a paradigm shift

With obesity on the rise, ultra-processed foods everywhere, and medication often used as a first response rather than a last resort, Dr. Wolf makes a compelling case for returning to foundational principles of health—starting with the nervous system.

Over the course of his career, he has helped tens of thousands of people avoid spinal surgery, recover from herniated and bulging discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and discogenic pain—and most importantly, get back to truly living.

It’s never too late to take control of your health.
To age better.
To live pain-free.
To become the best version of yourself.
