Podcast - Episode 3: The Miracle of receiving and giving hope. Instant freedom from suicidal thoughts.

EPISODE SUMMARY
Guest: Dr. Elizabeth Hoefer

Dr. Elizabeth Hoefer, DCCJP, tells the story of how her anxiety and suicidal thoughts left her in an instant. Now she is devoting her life to multiplying the kind of help she herself received by being a leader within the Upper Cervical Chiropractic Profession, where she has obtained the highest level of specialty in head and neck issues in order to continually be able to help even the most severe, chronic and complicated conditions.

In this episode, we talk about the following:

  • Suicidal thoughts.  Looking at where she is right now as a successful doctor in private practice you can draw the conclusion jthat the beginning doesn't dictate the ending. Your choices every day are what make the difference. Dr. Hoefer always had a resolute determination to be successful. It didn't necessarily mean financial; it just meant that she was going to get up every day and survive. Education was a pathway to success.

  • Getting off medication, she started feeling a little better, but it didn't take away that suicidal ideology, which is that overwhelming perseverating thought of just wanting to die every day. 

  • A friend recommended Blair Upper Cervical. She didn’t believe it would help because she had been under chiropractic care her whole life.

  • It was determined that she had a tiny posterior inferior left misalignment of the atlas vertebrae. The reason it's called the atlas is that they named it after that Greek God that held the world up on his shoulders. This little two-ounce bone holds up this big bowling ball of a brain and a skull. The implications of that being misaligned and literally choking off communication between your brain and your body and your body and your brain is massive.

  •  Kevin Leach, a student, gave the correction. Instantaneously, her mind was healed. Dr. Hoefer had hope for the first time in her life and had never experienced that kind of peace.

  • Dr. Hofer says God healed her so that she can heal others. This is the motivation that has driven her to continue to pursue education to get to the top of the profession in order to understand healing better and to help more people.

EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

Ruth: I am so pleased and honored to have a very special guest on the show today, Dr. Elizabeth Hoefer. How are you?

Dr. Elizabeth Hoefer: I'm fantastic.

Ruth: Before we get into the interview, I want to say publicly and first, and on the record, thank you so much for all you do and especially for being such a incredible friend and support to my husband. I so appreciate having you in his life as a support and encouragement. It's almost like you are a sister from another mister and it's so important to have friends and people in your life that you trust, that understand you and get you and help you be the best version of yourself. Thank you for doing that for my husband.

Dr. Elizabeth: It's my absolute pleasure and I completely agree with you. I do think of Gordon as like a brother, a big brother and he has always just been such a great sounding board and confidant for me professionally, personally and he gives an incredible atlas adjustment, which is what I need.

Ruth: You said professionally and personally. Why don't you introduce yourself? Maybe just a quick background story and who you are now.

Dr. Elizabeth: Sure. I am Dr. Elizabeth Hoefer and I have a practice in Southern California called Well Connected Chiropractic. I've actually been in practice for 14 years. I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic.

Ruth: 14 years already. It seems like you're just one of the young doctors to me. [laughs]

Dr. Elizabeth: I know. When I say that, it's kind of funny because when I joined the practice that I worked at for a number of years, I think at that time the doctor had been in practice for 15 and I'm coming up to that number and now I am reflecting and thinking, "How did I get here?" It's just gone so fast. I've had a practice in Southern California for a number of years now and I do a lot of work outside of just running a business for the profession. I just recently was elected president of the California Chiropractic Association.

Ruth: That is amazing.

Dr. Elizabeth: It is an incredible honour because I have been serving in that organization for more than a decade and I think I'm the fourth woman in the history of all of the presidents, and the organization just celebrated its 100-year anniversary, so it's a big deal.

Ruth: It's a big deal. It's about time that women get a bigger place in the chiropractic profession.

Dr. Elizabeth: I'm really excited because when I look at the landscape of chiropractic and I see what's happening in chiropractic college, more than 50% of the graduates are women now and it makes perfect sense because naturally women are nurturing and we can handle things, caretaking and things like that. It just makes sense that chiropractic would be something that women would be attracted to. It's really cool.

Ruth: Actually that is something that I wanted to grab a hold of a little bit in this conversation. I've been following you a little bit from afar. You have this amazing, thriving practice in Orange County where you help so many people with their health one-on-one. You are a advanced Blair instructor which means you can teach classes and teach chiropractors to become specialists. You've been furthering your education through the extremely rigorous diplomat program for the chiropractors in the cranial-cervical junction and serving as a leader in the wider chiropractic association in California, and mom and grandma extraordinaire. How does all that work?

Dr. Elizabeth: I know. I'm exhausted just listening to the list you just read off. It's funny. The way that it works is that I have an incredible team of support, namely my husband Michael. He has just always believed in me as a doctor, as a wife, as a mom, as a leader in the profession. He literally makes it so simple for me to be able to do all the things that I do.

For example, yesterday, I worked. He arranged for me to have a ride to work so that he could take the kids so that I didn't have to have my car sit at my office for four days. I got a ride to the airport as soon as I left my office and he took care of everything that the kids need to deal with and he'll be in charge of them for the next four days. That's a regular occurrence because I travel a lot as of the recent probably last four months finishing the DCCJP, getting elected to Cal Chiro as president, traveling for other organizations, and now we're here at the Blair Conference.

He literally makes it so easy for me to be able to be present and be successful. Having a great life partner is the number one thing as far as what do I have on this earth that can help me? Before that though is just my relationship with God and just waking up every day trusting the plan that he has for my life. A long time ago I got a hold of this scripture, Romans 8:28, all things are possible. It says that-- excuse me. Romans 8:28 says that when you love God and are called according to His purpose, that you can do anything basically.

I believe that, and it came to me during a very tumultuous time in my life where it seemed as if everything was thrown up into the air, shuffled around and thrown back down. It didn't make any sense. I just have to hold on to truth, and hold onto the plans that he has for me, and believe that they're good.

Ruth: That is amazing. That actually is where I wanted to take our conversation next. When you are talking about the success that you have now and the incredible impact that you make on people's lives today, has it always been that way?

Dr. Elizabeth: No, I definitely had a rough go of it. My beginnings weren't necessarily going to dictate where I'm now. I think about the trauma and the tumultuous childhood that I had and then even at 38, learning that my life was different than I even believed it to be because of the wonders of a DNA test. I look at that little girl who didn't have a mom and who was being raised by her grandparents and had to move a lot, then I look at where I'm at right now and I just know that the beginning doesn't dictate the ending but your choices every day are what makes the difference.

I always had a resolute determination to be successful. It didn't necessarily mean financial, it just meant that I was going to get up every day and survive. What's interesting is that when you have a thought like that and you believe like I believe in God, who do you think's going to come after that? It's going to be the enemy of our souls. He has attacked me for most of my life trying to get me to believe that my life isn't worth anything and that I'm not important, and that what I have to do isn't going to change the world. For about 14 years, I actually lived with suicidal ideology and I was in chiropractic school.

Ruth: Can you just tell us the timeline here when you're talking about 14 years?

Dr. Elizabeth: You got it. Age 13 to 27, and that's a pretty intense time of any young woman's life.

Ruth: That's incredible.

Dr. Elizabeth: It is. There were so many instances where the thoughts would overwhelm me daily to the point where I couldn't get out of bed. I just didn't make really healthy decisions. When you're 17 and 18 years old, you think you know everything but the truth is you know nothing. I was making decisions in relationships and in my family unit that probably weren't the healthiest. I found myself pregnant at 18, basically living on my own and having to support myself then I had a baby when I was 19 years old.

The thing that kept me going was knowing that if I left Lauren, my firstborn, that she would probably have a similar circumstance as far as pain and suffering that I did because I grew up without a mother and I didn't want that to be a thing.

Ruth: So that motivated you to fight the suicidal thoughts?

Dr. Elizabeth: It did. It kept me from actually choosing that route. What helped me get past the horrible, every single day torment of not wanting to live was I--

Ruth: That is really, really important because that is what this show is about. It's true resolution, not just fighting it but getting rid of it.

Dr. Elizabeth: I didn't even know that was what was coming. I just knew that every day I had to make a different choice. I knew education was going to be my pathway to success and I started chiropractic school. It started with me getting a part-time job working at Palmer College because I grew up in Davenport, Iowa. I got a part-time job working at Palmer College, helping the student doctors check in their patients, and then I started to be interested in chiropractic as a profession. I got my CT degree, chiropractic technology degree through Palmer which is an associate program, because I was interested in being an assistant.

Halfway through that program, I realized I don't want to be the assistant. I want to know more.

Ruth: That's good. I'm so glad you did. [laughs]

Dr. Elizabeth: Yes. I got my bachelor's degree, and then I started my doctorate program in 2004. I was a single mom, so I had my little Lauren, and she was in kindergarten when I started my doctor of chiropractic program. I circled the date on the calendar four years in advance. At Palmer, there is a 10-trimester track, and I knew that I had to work, I knew that I had a child, and I knew that I wanted to really understand the information. I chose from the very beginning of my program to do it in 12 trimesters. That was four full years. Typically, chiropractic education is a five-year degree that they condensed down into three and a third years.

Ruth: Yes, it's crazy. It's intense.

Dr. Elizabeth: You're going to school all year round, full-time, and then add having a baby, at this point, she's five. Also, I worked three part-time jobs to support myself, because I didn't have any other way to do it. I knew that I needed to do something to not have my student loan bill be astronomical. I worked three jobs, raised my babe, and went to college. I circled the date on the calendar, October 24th, 2008.

In that moment, I envisioned myself walking across that stage, receiving that diploma, and having the biggest cheering section that ever lived because I knew that this was going to be a feat that nobody that I knew in my circle had ever accomplished. That's exactly what happened. The journey from the day that I started in November of 2004 to October 24th, 2008, was an insane up and down, didn't know if I was going to make it, had some amazing friends that just kept propelling me, which is why I love Gordon so much, your husband, because we just went through this really intense diplomate program, and it was the same thing. Without my friends, I wouldn't have been able to get through the program.

Ruth: Yes. You had your friends for support. Now, can you talk a little bit about what changed things for you inside? Obviously, you had this drive, is what I'm hearing, you visualized yourself, you tapped into the motivation of being excellent for your daughter, and getting a better future for her. Yet you had this, this fight.

Dr. Elizabeth: I did.

Ruth: I know that there was a moment that changed things for you. Would you be willing to share about that?

Dr. Elizabeth: I absolutely would love to. It was my last year of chiropractic school. I was in eighth trimester, and I was suffering, and I was actually going downhill again. At age 13 through I guess probably, 21, I had tried all of the different medications, Zoloft, Effectsor, all the things, and the medication wasn't helping. When I started working at Palmer, I started getting regular chiropractic care, because it was a benefit working at the school.

I got off medication, and I started feeling a little better, but it didn't take away that suicidal ideology, which is that overwhelming perseverating thought of just wanting to die every day. Again, the thing that--

Ruth: How terrifying.

Dr. Elizabeth: It was terrifying. The thing that kept me going was my daughter. Now, I was physically alive, but I wasn't emotionally, or mentally present with her like I want to be, or wanted to be at the time. There's been a lot of healing, thank goodness, because now she's 23, and she's a mom. She made me a Gigi about 17 months ago.

Ruth: Beautiful.

Dr. Elizabeth: Now, the full circle thing, she understands as a mom how exhausting it is, and all the things you're facing, and all the things that you have to think about, and consider in your day. It's not even about yourself anymore. I was in eighth trimester, and my really good friend, best friend at the time, Jackie Dukes, who's now married to a good friend of mine, Patrick Newhouse. She said, "You haven't tried everything. You haven't tried Blair's Upper Cervical."

I was like, "Jackie, I've been under chiropractic care my entire life. I grew up in Davenport. I've been under consistent chiropractic care for a number of years," having worked at the college and being a student at Palmer. I was like, "One bone is not going to make that big of a difference." By one bone, I'm talking about the atlas.

Ruth: The atlas is the-- You're the doctor. Why don't you describe what the atlas is? [laughs]

Dr. Elizabeth: Sure. I would love to. It's the bone that surrounds the most important aspect of your being, your brainstem. It's literally at the very top of your neck. It rests underneath your skull. The reason it's called the atlas is because they named it after that Greek God that held the world up on his shoulders. This little two-ounce bone holds up this big bowling ball of a brain and a skull.

The implications of that being misaligned, and literally choking off communication between your brain, and your body, and your body and your brain is massive. I subjected myself under duress, and it was actually under a really incredible ultimatum, which was, if you don't do this, I'm not going to be your friend anymore.

Ruth: Oh, my goodness. That's intense. [laughs]

Dr. Elizabeth: It is intense. It was exactly what I needed, and I really cherished her friendship. I said fine. I have subjected myself to the student clinic, and God bless Dr. Todd Hubbard, and God bless Dr. Kevin Leach because we were talking about being a specialist. When you look at my X-rays, those first films that were taken on me, my misalignment was so minuscule. An untrained eye would've said, "There's nothing there."

Dr. Hubbard had been in clinical practice and had been teaching for many years up at that point, and he determined that I had a posterior inferior left misalignment. Kevin Leach, a student, gave me the correction, and instantaneously, my mind was healed.

Ruth: That is incredible.

Dr. Elizabeth: It was a miracle. I got off the table. The colors in the room were brighter, the sounds were clear. I literally had hope for the first time in my life, and I had never experienced that kind of peace.

Ruth: I'm just going to let that sink in for a minute. Now, that's something that I've seen every day for 27 years. There's people that come in, and there's something in your eyes, sometimes I call it headache eyes, but it may not just be-- It's like a burden. People walk out, and sometimes they say it, and they say exactly what you said, the colors are brighter, all is okay in the world. You can see it. That's the favorite part for me of being in the background in a Blair Upper Cervical Clinic, is seeing the light in people's eyes are different when they walk out after an adjustment.

Dr. Elizabeth: That's exactly what I experienced. In that moment, I hadn't been trained in Blair. I had barely knew about it. I had been exposed to it a couple of years earlier in my very first toggle upper cervical class. I remember watching a video of Dr. Drew Hall who's one of the most amazing powerhouses in our profession as far as just really getting excited about the power of upper cervical.

I was attracted to that energy, and I was attracted to that enthusiasm because that's a natural thing that I possess, is just passion, but I had been so worn down for so long from being depressed and suicidal. It was hard for me to keep mustering that. I'm telling you when I got that correction, all of the mustering went away, and it was an instant ability to see hope, have hope, be hope. I knew that I had to learn this. I enrolled in the elective that thankfully was offered on my college campus. Within, I guess it was about eight months, I became one of the top students in the country. This is in 2008 when the recession was happening if you remember that cycle.

Ruth: Oh, I do remember. Yes, I do remember.

Dr. Elizabeth: I got trained in upper cervical in the Blair Clinic, not the Blair Clinic, that's you guys. I got trained in Blair at the Palmer Clinic, and then I was able to recruit new patients to come see me as a student doctor. I was so convinced that what I had was going to heal the world, that I was not afraid to talk to anybody. I would be out at the district dancing with my friends on a Saturday night, and I would tell everybody around me, I'd give them my little student intern card, and like, "You need to come see me this coming week at the Palmer Clinic. I think I can get your head on straight."

I would go to awareness dinners for prostate cancer and breast cancer, and any kind of thing you could think of in the community where people just were suffering. I was like, "I don't care what you've got going on. This is going to help you." I got 27 new patients to come to the clinic as a student intern. It's funny now that I have my intern now, she goes to Palmer College, her name is Katie. I met her because I was volunteering some time through the Cal Chiro organization talking about state involvement, and being a part of your state association.

She's from California. She jumped on the call, and she was like, "Wait, did you have a different last name when you were at Palmer? Dr. Hubbard was telling me about this girl, Dr. Molina, Dr. Hoefer." I was like, "That's me." She's like, "You have a record that hasn't been beat, 27 new patients in one term." I've been out of school for 14 years, so it's kind of cool that that still exists.

Because she had heard my name, we got connected, and now she's my intern. She's going to be my next associate. Also, because I was volunteering my time serving my profession through the Cal Chiro organization, just talking about the importance of your trade association, and how being a volunteer to stand up and protect our profession is so important, that's how it all came together.

There's no mistakes, there's no coincidences. I call them divine appointments, and I keep showing up every day. because I know that my life has been restored. I always tell my patients, God healed me so that I could help heal his people. I'm not doing the healing, God is, but I am the instrument in which he delivers that through a very specific upper cervical correction.

God bless Dr. Blair who was meticulous in the work that he did, and saw the promise of having a specificity that was absolutely vital because everybody is different. Asymmetry is the rule, and if we can meet people where they are, we're going to be able to change the course and direction of their life. That's what motivates me now every single day, knowing that I get to lay my hands on people and be an instrument of healing because he saved my life.

Ruth: Yes, that is all beautiful and everything you've said is important. If you're listening to this and you're suffering, there's so much there. I encourage you to rewind and listen to everything Dr. Hoefer said. Again, there's just a couple of things that I want to pull out, and that is you thought, "How can this help? Because I've tried it all." Then the other thing is the misalignment was so minuscule that unless you saw a really good doctor, most doctors or most anyone who looked at your X-ray would miss it.

Dr. Elizabeth: That's exactly right.

Ruth: I feel like as Blair Upper Cervical doctors, that is almost everyone we see, they've tried everything. It's the biggest thing that I run into. I've tried it. It's not going to work. The doctor said you can't be having pain because there's nothing there. That was actually my story too. I just knew something was going on with my neck and all the doctors, they said, "No, that can't happen," and yet it did. When that was found and corrected, it changed everything.

Dr. Elizabeth: Absolutely. I think that's what drove me to continue to pursue education, because I want to be the best at what I do and I want to have the answer as much as I can have it. Obviously, there's a mystery in the healing where we can identify a 1mm misalignment and then put a force into the spine that is as gentle as a piece of paper touching a skin, and then have their lives transform.

Ruth: Literally, most patients who have this kind of correction, the last couple of people I interviewed here on the show said, "I was wondering when he was going to do it."

Dr. Elizabeth: Yes, I warn my patients. I say, "This adjustment is anticlimatic," because we spend so much time doing the exam, we spend so much time reviewing the imaging, and all of that intention goes into a very gentle, specific correction. They're like, "What did you do?"

They're almost more skeptical. They're like, "Wait, I wasted all this time and this money and that's it." Then I say, "Just you wait, it'll come." Then sure enough, people start getting better and they're so impressed.

Ruth: Not everybody gets instant results.

Dr. Elizabeth: That's correct.

Ruth: Although some do.

Dr. Elizabeth: That's correct. I don't ever really preface, like tomorrow you're going to feel amazing. I tell them this is a journey and it's going to take time because all processes take time. I am committed to continue to learn and be the best that I could be, which led me to enrolling into the DCCJP, or the diplomate in craniocervical junction procedures.

Ruth: Okay, so this is actually where I was going next. You must have read my mind because you've had so much success and you're already helping so many people, and it's all wonderful and great, and yet you have this drive to do more. You've talked a little bit about what motivates you to do that, but can you describe a little bit what's involved in enrolling in this program, what you've gone through and what the cost has been and what you've taken away from it that will help your patients?

Dr. Elizabeth: Yes, what motivated me was just the idea that there was more information that I could learn that I was able to apply to help the hardest of the hardest cases. As the years have gone on, you go from being a generalist to being more specific to having this niche. I think even as time goes on in the future, I'll probably attract in the most difficult cases because of the training that I have, and that's generally what happens.

As far as cost goes, financially, I couldn't even tell you because it just adds up but the time and the emotional cost, it's all worth it. The thing that's interesting about our specific class, we're the third cohort. We started in April of 2019 with big eyes and big dreams and then this thing called COVID hit.

Ruth: Yes. Just to put that in perspective, April of 2019, and it's a three-and-a-half-year program?

Dr. Elizabeth: Yes.

Ruth: The classes are once a month all over the country.

Dr. Elizabeth: All over the country. We would get on a plane and be gone from Friday to Sunday and be in classes for 12 hours at a time, learning different aspects of this whole program from different instructors, and we would have to fly. Now, I live on the West Coast, I think maybe two or three times they had anything in my time zone. That's it. Most of the time, I was changing time zones, and a lot of times we were going 3 hours ahead. When I would get on a plane, I would wake up and it would be four o'clock in the morning, my time, and I would have to go to class and be there.

Part of the beauty of the program is not just learning the information in the classroom, but it's developing the relationships with your cohort. That happens through going out to dinner and having long talks about all of the things, the biomechanics and the philosophy, and studying in-depth neurology. It was just worth every single second, but it was intense. Then you get on a plane, you fly back to wherever it is you live, and you go back to work on Monday morning and start really applying the knowledge that you're learning.

First, it's anatomy, and then it's different techniques, and then you start to take in information from other professionals, and you start to read MRIs, and you ask for CT scans from the patients that have them. All of a sudden, you're adding layers and layers and layers of information, which is exactly what I wanted, because when I know more, I can ask better questions.

That's what I was all about, was getting to the root of the issue, no pun intended, and also being able to really have an explanation for these people who are suffering. You had mentioned a specialist, and that is truly what we have become. We have become specialists in the cranial-cervical junction. That basically means everything from the top of your neck to your brain and understanding the physiology and the function of what happens and why what we do at the top of the neck with that very specific, gentle correction can make the difference between life and death for people.

Ruth: Yes. The cranial-cervical junction is the part of the body where the skull and the spine come together.

Dr. Elizabeth: That's exactly right.

Ruth: Where they join.

Dr. Elizabeth: That's exactly right.

Ruth: Yes. This is all really great. I just may have to have you on next year or something because there's just so many things to talk about here, but I think we need to start wrapping up. I want to know, the woman who's listening and have tried everything and is working hard for the family, might be a mom or might want to be a mom and have something in herself that she knows, kind of in her heart, that can help someone, but yet is suffering and thinks, "Okay, I can't do this," and, "I'm not good enough," or they're struggling with pain or dark thoughts, and they don't know where to turn or what to do. What would you say to that person?

Dr. Elizabeth: That's a great question. First of all, just continue to hold on to the hope in your heart that things can be different. That's what the enemy wants to squash, is that still, small voice that's saying, "Hold on." Hope for me stands for Hold On Purpose Emerges. I feel like I embody that because my purpose continues to be revealed with every moment. I just am in awe of who God is and what he has called me to do. I'm so thankful that the hope has been restored and that there was that tenacious ability to believe that something could be different, even though for years it didn't seem as if things would be different.

Literally, go on your internet and Google 'Blair', B-L-A-I-R Chiropractic, and thankfully, due to your husband's work and the work that I get to do through training students and through training doctors, there's more Blair doctors available in the world than ever before. Even if you don't have somebody in your town, there's likely somebody in your state, and even if there's not somebody in your state, it's easy to get to somebody within a couple of hours. Now, thankfully, because of your husband, we have people in Europe and we are going to have people in all the continents of the world. I truly believe this. We have somebody in Australia.

Ruth: That's what we're working for.

Dr. Elizabeth: Yes, we have people that live and go and travel to Asia, so the work is growing and the philosophy of our society is that we want to have a Blair doctor in every community of the world. There's more than 8 billion people on this planet and every single one of us has to suffer through this thing called the human condition. Blair Chiropractic helps with that. Find a Blair doctor and get in and have your neck evaluated for subluxation and get that corrected and your mind, your soul, your body will be better for it.

Just if you type in the Blair technique, you'll probably find our website. We have a forward-facing consumer website, blairchiropractic.com, and then we have the Blair technique website, and then you can of course get ahold of me at Well Connected. I have people calling all the time, either they're just people that have Googled me or they're friends and family of people that I take care of that want to know is there somebody in Florida or is there somebody in Ohio?

Ruth: What's the best way to get ahold of you?

Dr. Elizabeth: That's a great question. You can just google Dr. Hoefer.com, D-R-H-O-E-F-E-R.com, or just type in 'Well Connected Chiropractic in Mission Viejo, California'. I'm out there so you'll be able to find me. I'm really looking forward to connecting with you. Even if all you want is an encouraging word, I have time for that. I have time to pray with you. I have time to tell you that your life matters and that it's important, and that there is a better way, and let's get your head on straight.

Ruth: I love it. I love it. I was going to ask you if you have a life verse, but you've already shared it. Why don't you at the end here share it again?

Dr. Elizabeth: Sure. My life verse, Romans 8:28. It's just something that has impacted me and given me the ability to remember that all of the torture and torment, and tumultuous times in my life have been given to me for God's purpose. 'All things work together for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.'

Ruth: Beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your heart and your time with us today. Is there anything else that you want to say that we haven't said?

Dr. Elizabeth: I just want to say thank you for inviting me on the podcast. It's been a joy and an honor and it never gets old recounting the testimony of the faithfulness of God and the healing that He's given me. It reminds me that even when I get tired and even when I wake up in a different city and I can't remember what hotel room I'm in or what the room number to my hotel is, it's worth it because I am on a mission and I have a calling and I have a purpose. I'm so thankful for Blair Chiropractic because it literally saved my life.
