In this episode, Dr. Colin Hickey, Braden Hicks, and Dillon Searcy have a conversation about something affecting more men than ever—low testosterone.

Testosterone levels are dropping at alarming rates, and while TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) is becoming more common, it’s not the only option—and for many, it’s not the first step that should be taken.

We break down what’s actually driving this trend, from chronic stress and poor sleep to nutrient deficiencies and lifestyle habits that are working against your hormones.

You’ll learn:
• The root causes behind low testosterone
• Why more men are turning to TRT—and when it may (or may not) be appropriate
• How nutrition, strength training, and recovery directly impact hormone levels
• The role chiropractic care plays in nervous system regulation and hormone optimization
• Practical, natural strategies men can start implementing immediately

If you’ve been feeling low energy, struggling with motivation, dealing with stubborn weight gain, or just not feeling like yourself—this episode is for you.

We also invite you to join us for our upcoming Testosterone & Male Optimization Event at Haven Chiropractic & Wellness on April 18th at 11:30 AM. This is a free event where we’ll go even deeper and give you actionable steps to take control of your health.

What if chiropractic care had nothing to do with just back pain… and everything to do with how your body actually functions?

In this episode of Diagnosis Redefined, Dillon Searcy and I sit down with the Drs. Colin and Kari Hickey at Haven Chiropractic and Wellness—the chiropractors we’ve partnered with to create a truly holistic healing space—to break down what chiropractic care really does in the body.

We dive into the benefits that most people never hear about, including its impact on fertility, anxiety, nervous system regulation, and even the prevention and management of chronic illness.

We also tackle some of the biggest myths that keep people from ever stepping into a chiropractic office—and why those misconceptions could be holding you back from healing.

If you’ve been told your symptoms are “normal,” or you feel like something is missing in your health journey, this episode will open your eyes to a completely different way of looking at care.

This is about more than symptom relief—this is about restoring function, supporting your nervous system, and giving your body the environment it needs to heal.

If you’re ready to stop chasing symptoms and start addressing the root cause, this episode is for you.

In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a topic that’s been on my heart for a while: the growing number of so-called “functional medicine” practitioners who aren’t actually practicing functional medicine at all.

I can’t tell you how many clients come to us saying, “I tried functional medicine—it didn’t work.” But when they share their story, it’s clear they never experienced real functional care in the first place.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the five biggest red flags to watch out for so you don’t waste your time, your money—or your hope—on someone who’s not doing it right. We’ll talk about what functional medicine really is, what it absolutely is not, and how to find someone who’s actually going to help you get to the root of what’s going on in your body.

Whether you’re just starting your healing journey or you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, this episode will give you clarity and confidence moving forward.
