Hey, this is Ari. Welcome back to the Energy Blueprint Podcast. I have a very special episode for you today with a man whose work I consider to be one of the biggest and most profound influences on my own thinking, my own paradigm when it comes to health science of anybody whose work I've ever studied.

And that's a very, very long list of amazing experts.

This is somebody who has inadvertently, without his knowledge, become somewhat of a mentor of mine and profoundly influenced

my thinking on health from a pretty young age. From my early 20s, I was studying this person's

His name is Dr. James Chestnut. And he's not widely known outside of chiropractic circles because he's an educator of chiropractors.

And interestingly enough, I stumbled across his work because my older brother, Dr. Yoni Witten, is a chiropractor.

all these books were lying around our house all the time. And I started reading them.

And I started really loving what I was reading and how supported it was by so many studies,

how rigorous he was in documenting the scientific evidence

that backs up his claims. And the claims were simultaneously this amazing combination of being

so novel and so revolutionary in the way of thinking and yet so logical, almost to the point

of being simple simple common sense.

And everything just made this, this just clicked and made this profound amount of sense

to me.

And I would say, I would go so far as to say that his way of thinking, his paradigm of understanding human health

form, became the basis of my own, my own paradigm of human health. It became the foundation

of it. And there's a really simple shift at the core of this, which is looking at humans from the perspective that a biologist

would study any animal species. And as simple as that sounds, almost nobody does it. And when you do
