Dr. Tent, Dr. Senechal, & Dr. Gill help patients find out why symptoms started: gut health, blood sugar, chronic pain & more.

When the native american tribes brought down a buffalo, the first thing they went after was the bone marrow.

Dr. Tent calls it “the secret to the body.”

Bone marrow is where your white blood cells are made. Your immune system starts in your bones.

Dr. Tent’s go-to is an old classic: Royal Lee’s Calcifood. He calls it “a ground-up spine,” and it’s been one of the benchmarks in the industry for decades.

A simple thing most people just never think about.

“Keep your frame strong, your immune system will follow.”

One unexpected number brought in more questions than answers. Dr. Jeff Senechal was reviewing his own bloodwork when something caught his attention.

His ferritin was elevated, but his iron was normal.

He started looking back at his routine. The vitamin C. A supplement containing biotin. What he’d taken before the blood draw.

Was this a lasting pattern? Or could something he was taking have affected the result?

He wasn’t ready to assume. So he compared it with his earlier bloodwork and started asking more questions.

That’s a conversation worth having about your own results, too. What you take and when you take it is part of the picture.

Watch Dr. Jeff explain what surprised him and what he considered next, starting at 22:57:

Your body whispers before it screams. Most people wait until it’s too late.

“Inflammation is the flashing red light in your car. You want to find out what’s going on before things get worse.”
Dr. Jeff Senechal

So what is inflammation?

It’s your body’s alarm system.
When something gets hurt or irritated, your immune system sends heat, swelling, and repair crews to fix it.

Short term, that’s a good thing. That’s how a cut heals.

The problem is when the alarm never shuts off.

That’s chronic inflammation, and it quietly wears down your joints, your gut, your arteries, and your brain.

Most people just cover up the light.
Ibuprofen. Motrin. Tylenol.

That’s tape over the check engine light.
The light goes away. The problem doesn’t.

Dr. Jeff wants to know what’s driving it.

One condition, many causes.
One cause, many conditions.

He had a patient with an elevated C-reactive protein, a blood marker that rises with inflammation.

His heart numbers didn’t explain it.

His knee did.

Bone on bone, walking with a cane, and that knee was driving his inflammation up.

Other sneaky drivers he sees all the time:
Regular smoking.
Dental problems nobody’s addressed.
Foods your gut is reacting to.
Iron that builds up over the years, especially in men.

A high-sensitivity CRP test is a simple place to start.
We draw labs right here in the office, and we can run a full inflammation panel.
Out of state? We do virtual visits too.

Don’t ignore the light.

They said it couldn't be done, but “I’ve had a lifetime of no fruits and vegetables. I eat none.”

For decades people told me I was eating wrong. Meanwhile, I was building a practice, playing hockey and following a routine centered on meat, eggs, and shakes.

I'm 68 years old so now I'm bringing that argument to the screen with my own bloodwork.

What do my test results show? And what does my everyday diet actually look like?

I want you to look beyond the “healthy” label and ask what’s actually in your food. In this lecture, I explain why I call plant compounds like lectins and oxalates “chemical weapons” and share my concerns about their effects on the body. Don’t just follow a food trend, pay attention to how you feel and keep asking questions.

Let me give it to you straight, starting at 6:46:

In WHY DO HEALTHY PEOPLE GET SO SICK?, Dr. Tent shares his personal experience and challenges the nutrition advice he’s questioned for years. His story is a starting point for questions about your own health.

What's the biggest health myth you've been told?

10/18/2026

South Park flipped the food pyramid as a joke in 2014. This year, the government actually did it.

Dr. Tent has been saying it for 46 years.

The new federal guidelines put protein, full-fat dairy and healthy fats at the top. Butter and beef tallow made the list. Whole grains went to the bottom. The headline is three words: eat real food.

Steak. Eggs. Butter. Everything you were told to cut, he never stopped eating. Now watch his reaction.

And stay for the end. Dr. Tent has a message for everyone running a health program at church.

Dr. Tent’s orders: show this to your friends. Start with the one who still buys margarine.

Remember the scene in Oliver Stone’s JFK with Joe Pesci and all those lab mice? There’s a story behind it most people have never heard.

In the early ’60s, a 19-year-old science student named Judyth Vary Baker did something in a little high school lab that professional researchers hadn’t been able to do.

The papers picked it up.

Then the big shots came to visit. They wanted to know how a teenager had pulled it off.

What happened next is in two books: Dr. Mary’s Monkey by Edward Haslam, and her own memoir, Me & Lee.

As in Lee Harvey Oswald.

Dr. Tent tells the whole story in his Autoimmune Lecture. In his words: “The story that could have leaked out made this one look like nothing.”

Watch the clip, then catch the full lecture at the link in the first comment.

Sometimes the healthiest-looking guy in the room is in the most trouble.

You’d walk past this man at the mall and never think twice.
But he’d been getting testosterone injections and never told Dr. Tent.

Then came the clots.
In his lungs.
In his legs.

He noticed something was wrong in his calf and asked to stop the shots.

He was told to just wait until next week.

He ended up spending six days in the hospital.

Dr. Tent says he has five patients right now dealing with clots in their lungs, heart, or legs.

Most of them are young.

Most of them started because of something they heard at the gym.

Here’s why it matters.
Dr. Tent points to research tying testosterone injections to a higher risk of blood clots.

A blood clot is a plug of blood that can block a vein.

If one breaks loose and travels to your lungs, it can be life-threatening.

Pain, swelling, or warmth in one calf, or sudden shortness of breath, are warning signs.

Don’t wait until next week. Get checked right away.

The good news?
Dr. Tent says there are simpler, natural ways to support your testosterone.

He’s using them with his own family members right now and seeing great results.

Feeling run down and achy for no reason? Sometimes the cause can be smaller than you'd ever think to look for.

Here’s another story from Dr. Tent.

Three nose hair trimmers broke on him in just two weeks. Junk. He wasn't buying a fourth.

So he got impatient and pulled the hair out.

Small sore. Nothing. Who cares.

Two days later: legs aching, joints sore, whole body off.

From a nose hair.

That sore took three weeks to close.

Three weeks of a body quietly spending everything it had on something he'd have sworn was nothing.

Unbelievable, and one of the most useful lessons in 46 years of practice.

Here's why.

When you suddenly feel bad, you hunt for a big reason. A diagnosis. A name. Something that matches how rough you feel.

Sometimes there isn't one. There's a small thing, a sore, a cut, a tooth, a gut that's been off for a week and your immune system is pouring everything into it while you look everywhere else.

It's can be that easy to knock your whole system off kilter.

The answer can be simple. It's just smaller than you were looking for.

Stop looking for the big reason. Go find the small one.

And if you can't find it, that's our job. Forty-six years of chiropractic and functional medicine in Novi, Michigan, looking at the whole person instead of the loudest symptom. In office, or virtual from anywhere.

Save this for the next time you feel off and can't say why.

It's 2:30-3 in the morning. We're walking down 7 mile going towards Detroit. Nobody on the road. Most men today wouldn't make it through what I learned over 50 years ago hitchhiking as a teenager.

We only needed a half a mile ride. I wanted to keep walking. Norris wanted to get there faster.

So he sticks his thumb out and we, at 15 years old, end up jumping into an old two-door blue thunderbird for a half-mile long ride home.

We're moving along and all of a sudden the driver who picked us up passed our road.

Now I'm stuck. No one around to come save me. Locked in the back of a 2 door coupe with a guy I just met.

He turns around, looks me straight in the eye and says...

"Don't you wanna go in the woods?"

Thank God I'm still here to talk about this.

Here's how I got out... https://youtu.be/Dm_u-havrLs?t=2227

Sometimes the whole case comes down to one question.

A patient came to Dr. Gill with joint pain, stiff knuckles, and fatigue so bad it was running his life.
The whites of his eyes were yellow.
So was his skin.

His bloodwork showed why.

ALT and AST are enzymes that leak out of your liver when it’s being damaged.
Think of them like a smoke alarm.
His ALT should be around 10 to 30.
It was 2,900.
His AST was 1,515.

Bilirubin is the yellow waste your liver is supposed to clear out.
When the liver falls behind, it builds up and turns your skin and eyes yellow.
His should be under 1.
It was 5.5.

Then came the iron.
His ferritin, which is how much iron your body has stored up, was 1,700.
His iron saturation was 61%.

That’s why Dr. Gill is now testing him for hemochromatosis.
It’s a condition where your body holds on to too much iron, and it piles up in places like your liver and joints.

So how did his liver get this bad?
Dr. Gill ruled out the usual causes.
Then he asked one simple question.
Have you ever had surgery?
He had. His appendix was removed overseas.
Dr. Gill suspects hepatitis B from surgical instruments that weren’t properly sterilized.

While the tests come back, here’s the plan:
Pull the extra iron out with lactoferrin and FEX.
Support the liver with Beta-TCP from Biotics.

Dr. Gill will share a follow-up on this one.
