Dr Ambrose Koll DC: Stress Recovery, Breaking the distraction cycle, Being healthy in 2021, and an inside view of Chiropractic’s Healing Potential
“Everything about life is movement - and so there is no arrival.” - Ambrose Koll
Today I have the pleasure of sharing a conversation with one of the most wonderfully introspective people I have ever met, Dr. Ambrose Koll DC.
Ambrose joins us this week to share really powerful thoughts on what personal identity means to us in modern society. His amazing multi-career, multidisciplinary life story gives him a great deal of perspective on many topics most of us take for granted. We discuss the inherent importance of each individual journey we have as humans, overcoming the need for labels, how levels of sobriety can be considered altered states of consciousness, and what it feels like to change our relationships with technology.
We also take a deep dive into Ambrose’s perspectives and experiences within the Fullness of Chiropractic. We ultimately get into some really fascinating grounds in regards to how we distract ourselves from living presently and engaging in daily life, and how we may break those cycles in seeking fulfillment.
