EP 99: A Chiropractor’s Guide to Resetting Your Mental Health | Dr. Bethany Geotz with Patterns for Health Chiropractic

In this episode of Mental Mixology, host Elex sits down with Dr. Bethany Geotz, owner of Patterns for Chiropractic Health in Sedalia, to discuss how chiropractic care extends far beyond treating standard back pain or car accident injuries. Dr. Bethany explains her holistic approach, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the body's systems to target the root cause of health issues rather than just treating symptoms.

She highlights specialized, low-force adjustment techniques used at her practice—including the ArthroStim, Activator, and SOT blocks—which offer a gentler, more comfortable option for patients intimidated by traditional manual adjustments or those recovering from trauma. Listeners will also learn about the Koren Specific Technique (KST), a specialized approach that uses neurological reflexes to identify precise areas of stress in the body and allow adjustments in functional "positions of challenge".

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Bethany dives into how realigning the spine and resetting a nervous system stuck in "fight or flight" mode can relieve chronic pain, ease mental load, and even improve internal organ function, such as addressing referred pain from the gallbladder. Wrapping up, she shares her foundational pillars for overall well-being—hydration, nutrition, movement, and prayer—along with practical steps for starting a personal healing journey.
