A Good Man and Thorough
A Good Man and Thorough
Podcast Description
Black and white thinking, and outdated, dogmatic, and egocentric health care models, and information overload has officially lead to a time where people are actually dying younger than the prior generation. This aggression will not stand man! In this podcast I will share cutting edge news on all topics related to health care but as a chiropractic neurologist and expert on clinical nutrition and complex case management I want to make it all practical. So many expert opinions out there but I will teach you how to know if and how that information actually applies to your case. I will also interview some of my favorite colleagues doing trailblazing work in the field as well as patients that have inspirational stories to tell. Wouldn't it be great if you had access to a doctor that could help you answer the questions that have been on your mind much like a good mechanic friend that can make sure you're not getting ripped off at the mechanic.
Now you do -- and there might be some surprise music and comedy in there too.

In this episode, I sit down with my podcast producer, Nic Murphy, who shares his powerful story of resilience—from years of battling eosinophilic esophagitis and endless esophageal dilations, to discovering how nutrition and lifestyle changes gave him years of remission, to facing and overcoming testicular cancer.
We explore the role of an everyday food bogeyman—that was overlooked in his care for years, prolonging both his diagnosis and recovery. Nic speaks candidly about his cancer diagnosis, chemotherapy, major surgery, recovery, and the mental shift that came with learning to accept life on its own terms.
This conversation is raw, hopeful, and packed with insight into how functional models, clinical nutrition, and overlooked dietary triggers can complement Western medicine for even the most severe conditions.
Topics include:
Eosinophilic esophagitis and the missed role of food
Why gluten can drive hidden immune and neurological problems
The TH1/TH2 immune balance and cancer vulnerability
Chemo, surgery, and life after testicular cancer
Stoicism, Buddhism, and finding acceptance after illness
