Wednesday Sep 04, 2019
Wednesday Sep 04, 2019
Dr. Ray Bayley (DC, DCBCN) and I discuss how to stay healthy as we age and the importance of not only taking care of your body, but how to go about it.
Dr. Ray Bayley, DC, DCBCN, is a chiropractic physician, board-certified in intensive clinical nutrition, board-eligible in homeopathy, and has a few hundred hours training each in other styles and modalities of health and healing (e.g. Asian Medicines, other herbologies, and dual channel frequency-specific microcurrent) and less hours in others. He has been studying and working in the fields of Complementary, Alternative, Integrative, Holistic, and Functional Medicines for over 50 years and lectured at the grad (physicians-to-be) and postdoc (physicians, nationally) levels for 31 years, mostly in the intensive clinical nutrition and Functional Medicine realms. He operates at the portal/entry level in giving patients analyses, insights, and options for their health and healing. And he operates in helping people find paths that are less risky and have more positive side effects. He is a wealth of information, as you might expect from someone spending half their professional hours per week updating and expanding their knowledge.

He specializes in civil litigation, business organizational matters, real estate, general contractual issues, personal injury, medical malpractice, and immigration and more. We discuss why it is essential for new business owners/entrepreneurs to use contracts and why many fail to do so in the first place. Moreover, we discuss the narrative of "not trusting" the other party as a need to use contracts and how that belief is detrimental. I had a great time interviewing him and we instantly connected.

Being a true champion is not confined to the rings, belts and awards you win in your respective sport. But it has more to do with how you behave outside the ring or arena.

He is currently the coach and trainer for Khabib Nurmagamodec and Daniel Cormier, both current UFC champions.
