  • Dr. Seungyeup Ro: Cracking the Code on Pain-Free Living

    Dr. Seungyeup Ro: Cracking the Code on Pain-Free Living
    May 15 2025
    Dr. Seungyeup Ro is a dedicated chiropractor passionate about helping individuals reach their full potential in body, mind, and spirit. A graduate of the National University of Health Sciences, he has been practicing since 2011 with specialized training in sports injuries, myofascial release, and functional movement. A former college football player and 5th-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Dr. Ro's recovery from sports injuries sparked his passion for chiropractic care. He earned his CCSP® certification in 2017 to better serve athletes and active individuals. Having transformed his health, Dr. Ro now promotes pain-free living without drugs or surgery, empowering others to live healthier, more active lives.In this episode, Dante and Dr. Ro discuss:The core philosophy behind chiropractic care and its focus on the nervous systemMisconceptions about chiropractic safety and the “you’ll need to go forever” mythThe rise of non-traumatic, compensation-based pain, especially post-pandemicHow Dr. Ro customizes treatments with cutting-edge tech like Proteus and the Newbie deviceHis approach to behavior-based healing and helping the brain feel safe to move againKey Takeaways: Chiropractic care is a science rooted in nervous system restoration and movement correction, not merely spine adjustments. This distinction shifts the focus from symptom relief to long-term functional health.In the aftermath of the pandemic, a surprising wave of physical ailments has surfaced, triggered not by trauma, but by a rise in recreational activities like pickleball and sedentary remote work. This shift highlights the urgent need to address compensation-based pain.Through years of hands-on learning and mentorship, Dr. Ro has crafted a truly customized approach to rehabilitation, breaking away from generic programs to offer treatment as unique as each patient’s body and history.With the help of tools like DC stimulation and AI-powered fitness platforms, patients are safely pushed beyond their perceived limits. These innovations allow the brain to rewire its understanding of what the body can do, fostering resilience one safe rep at a time.Gone is the myth of the “perfect pillow” or miracle stretch. The conversation reframes recovery as a behavioral transformation, emphasizing the nervous system’s need to feel secure before true healing can begin.“It’s not one stretch or exercise that fixes pain—it’s about creating new behaviors your body feels safe doing. Healing takes time, not quick hacks.” - Dr. Seungyeup RoConnect with Dr. Seungyeup Ro:Website: https://chirodocro.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seungyeup-ro-d-c-ccsp-67042949/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD1kWbyFUQPKX5kqHBXbgCw Connect with Dante Royster:Website: https://www.danteroyster.com/Epic Mortgage Website: Epic Mortgage, Inc.

    Larry Anthony: Mediation & Arbitration Over Litigation
    Apr 17 2025
    Larry Anthony is a distinguished two-time U.S. Armed Forces Veteran, having served in both the U.S. Navy and Texas Army National Guard. With a strong foundation in political science, history, and Arabic from Southern Methodist University, he went on to earn his Juris Doctor from UNT Dallas College of Law. With over a decade of experience in the legal field, Larry has served as a third-party neutral, student attorney, law clerk, and paralegal. A skilled mediator, he has successfully mediated over 100 cases. He is a member of the Texas Association of Mediators, a mediator for the Texas Department of Insurance, a FINRA public arbitrator, and an active member of national mediation organizations. Passionate about community service, he dedicates time to mentoring young professionals and supporting local initiatives.In this episode, Dante and Larry discuss:Transition from military service to legal and academic careersAlternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods like mediation and arbitrationRunning a private mediation company and balancing objectivity in disputesHandling ADR cases across state lines and evolving hybrid mediation-arbitration modelsRising divorce rates and financial issues leading to mandatory mediation before trialKey Takeaways: A veteran whose journey spans military service, legal academia, and the realm of mediation, illustrating how analytical thinking and a dedication to community service can shape a meaningful career in alternative dispute resolution.Mediation is explored as a powerful tool for resolving disputes, offering a neutral and structured environment where opposing parties can negotiate agreements without resorting to litigation.Arbitration surfaces as an effective alternative to court trials, allowing an impartial arbitrator to review evidence and issue legally binding decisions, streamlining conflict resolution outside the judicial system.The adaptability of alternative dispute resolution is emphasized, showcasing how broad training credentials enable professionals to manage cases across state borders while hybrid models continue to evolve, merging mediation and arbitration for greater efficiency.Mediation services are surging, driven by financial strain and rising divorce rates, as courts increasingly mandate mediation as a prerequisite to trial.“In the legal field—just like in medicine—everything is constantly evolving. You have to stay ahead of the trends, understand how courts are ruling, and adapt to new tools in mediation and arbitration. If you’re not learning, you’re falling behind. Staying on top of it all isn’t just an advantage—it’s a necessity.” - Larry AnthonyConnect with Larry Anthony:Website: https://iams.llc/ Phone: 682 325 7238Email: info@iams.llc Connect with Dante Royster:Website: https://www.danteroyster.com/Epic Mortgage Website: Epic Mortgage, Inc.
