Episode 14: Pursuing Wellness Outside of the Broken Healthcare System with Dr. Courtney Kahla
Dr. Courtney Kahla has been one of our favorite voices in the alternative health community for years. She is a Doctor of Chiropractic & the founder of Our Well House, which is a Christ-centered wellness collective that includes chiropractors, pelvic floor therapists, functional medicine practitioners, & a massage therapist. Dr. Courtney not only pours into her local community, but she has also cultivated an online community of critical thinkers who share her values of faith, respectful parenting, home birthing, medical freedom, non-toxic living, & living outside of cultural norms. We knew that Dr. Courtney would be the most epic guest to have on the podcast while we navigated through the topic of taking charge of your health outside of a broken healthcare system.
