We Don’t Have to Suffer to Age Well
In this episode, I talked with Dr. Austin Buergermeister, a chiropractor and owner of Live Well Chiropractic in Mooresville, NC. His message was clear: aging well starts with the nervous system, which you know I was here for.
Chiropractic Is More Than Pain Relief
We often think of chiropractic as a last resort, for car accidents or back pain. But Dr. Austin reframed it: chiropractic care helps your body function better by removing interference in the nervous system. That means better movement, digestion, immunity, and even cognition.
Stress Isn’t Just Emotional
He shared how physical, emotional, and chemical stress, from processed foods to cleaning products, can throw the nervous system out of whack. These stressors build up and lead to dysfunction, sometimes before we feel actual pain. This is a growing theme on the podcast.
Muscle Testing and Movement Matters
Through techniques like muscle testing and neurokinetic therapy, Dr. Austin identifies where the body is compensating and helps reset those patterns. It's like giving your body a software update so it can move how it’s meant to.
You Don’t Have to Feel “Broken”
One thing I loved: you don’t have to be in pain to see a chiropractor. If you’re feeling off - low energy, poor sleep, out of alignment with yourself - that’s enough reason to get support. Chiropractic can help you feel more like you again.
Start Small, Start Now
His advice? Get outside. Take a 10-minute walk. Stretch between meetings. Reduce stress where you can. These small shifts make a big difference over time.
Aging well isn’t something we wait for—it’s something we practice. Right now.
