In this episode of Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Micheal Bryan go beyond traditional chiropractic by exploring the brain’s incredible ability to change—neuroplasticity—and how adjustments can be used as neurological tools. They discuss how hemispheric imbalances show up as real-world symptoms, and how multi-sensory inputs like light, sound, and movement accelerate recovery. You’ll also hear how they build precise, measurable rehab plans that help patients not just feel better—but function better.

🔑 Topics include:

• How chiropractic care rewires the brain
• Left vs. right brain dysfunction (and how to spot it)
• Sensory stacking: combining inputs for faster change
• Real clinical tools for testing and tracking brain-based outcomes

If you’re ready to see chiropractic through a new lens, this episode is your blueprint.

In this episode of The Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Micheal Bryan dive into the life of a neuron—how it functions, communicates, and adapts—and why this matters so much for your health. You’ll explore the three essential things every neuron needs to thrive (fuel, nutrients, and stimulation), and how chiropractic care uniquely supports those needs by improving proprioceptive input and nervous system efficiency.

They also break down how spinal adjustments influence ion channels, firing thresholds, and neuroplasticity—all backed by scientific research. If you’ve ever wondered how your brain rewires itself or why movement impacts mood, memory, and focus, this conversation will connect the dots in a clear, practical way.

You’ve heard of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch—but what about the sixth sense that’s always running in the background?

In this episode of The Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Micheal Bryan dive deep into proprioception—the body’s internal GPS—and explain how it constantly informs the brain about limb position, muscle tone, and balance. Unlike the other senses, proprioception is tonic, not phasic, meaning it never turns off. And that’s why chiropractic has such a profound impact on the nervous system.

You’ll learn:

• How proprioceptive input shapes cognition, emotion, and movement
• Why poor posture or injury leads to a “smudged” brain-body map
• How spinal adjustments wake up dormant mechanoreceptors and restore healthy brain function
• What recent neuroscience studies reveal about proprioception, pain, and neuroplasticity

Whether you're a patient, clinician, or wellness enthusiast, this episode will give you a whole new appreciation for the hidden sense that’s quietly running your life—and how to take better care of it.

In this episode of Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Micheal Bryan unpack what real detoxification looks like—and why jumping straight into heavy detox protocols without proper preparation can do more harm than good.

We walk you through our clinically tested, three-phase approach to detox:

1. Opening drainage pathways
2. Restoring mitochondrial energy production
3. Gently eliminating toxins without overwhelming the system

You’ll learn why supporting foundational functions like bile flow, lymph movement, and cellular energy is essential before mobilizing deeper toxins. We also discuss common mistakes people make with DIY detoxes, why "feeling worse before you feel better" isn’t always a good sign, and how we personalize detox plans based on each patient’s unique needs.

If you’re looking for a smarter, safer way to truly support your body’s natural detox processes, this episode is your roadmap.

In this eye-opening episode of Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Micheal Bryan dig into the hidden connection between toxin exposure and mitochondrial dysfunction—a root cause behind chronic fatigue, brain fog, and a wide range of modern health issues.

We explore the types of toxins that most people are exposed to daily—heavy metals, mold, pesticides, plastics, industrial chemicals, and more—and explain how they interfere with mitochondrial function, oxygen utilization, and energy production at the cellular level. You’ll learn why even “mild” toxic burdens can accumulate over time and how symptoms that seem unrelated often trace back to compromised mitochondria.

Most importantly, we talk about what you can do to protect and restore mitochondrial health, including key lifestyle changes, drainage support, and safe, effective detox strategies we use in our clinic.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still feel worn down, this episode might be the missing piece.

In this foundational episode of Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Micheal Bryan take you back to biology class with a deep dive into one of the most important (and misunderstood) parts of your body: the mitochondria.

Often called the "powerhouses of the cell," mitochondria do a lot more than just produce energy. We break down their essential role in everything from metabolism and detox to immune function, brain health, and chronic disease. You’ll learn how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to fatigue, inflammation, and slow healing—and what you can do to restore function using nutrition, movement, light, and lifestyle changes.

This is your Mitochondria 101—the groundwork for understanding how to support your body at the cellular level and reclaim your energy from the inside out.

In this episode of Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Micheal Bryan explore one of the most exciting regenerative tools in their clinical toolbox: Piezowave shockwave therapy. This innovative, non-invasive treatment uses acoustic waves to stimulate deep tissue repair, break up scar tissue, and jumpstart the healing process at the cellular level.

We explain how shockwave therapy works, what makes piezo technology unique, and how it’s helping patients overcome chronic issues like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, joint pain, joint degeneration, and even non-healing injuries. You’ll also hear how we integrate shockwave therapy into a holistic framework that supports lasting recovery.

If you’re tired of temporary fixes and want to understand how your body can truly heal itself, this episode will show you how we use sound energy to spark real, regenerative change.

In this episode of Appalachian Wellness Connection, Dr. Kevin Britt and Dr. Micheal Bryan shed light—literally—on one of the most cutting-edge yet underutilized tools in holistic healthcare: low-level laser therapy (LLLT).

We discuss how specific wavelengths of light can stimulate cellular function, reduce inflammation, speed up tissue repair, and even support mitochondrial health. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic pain, or managing a neurological condition, laser therapy can be a game-changer—especially when integrated into a full-body approach.

You’ll hear how we use laser in our clinic, who it’s best suited for, and why it’s a safe, non-invasive option for helping the body heal more efficiently and naturally.

If you're curious about how light can actually activate healing from the inside out, this episode is for you.
