  • The Jacksonville Chiropractor Who Trained with an Olympic Bobsledder to Teach Speed
    Feb 28 2026
    Episode 5: The Jacksonville Chiropractor Who Trained with an Olympic Bobsledder to Teach Speed

    Season 1

    About This Episode

    Dr. Cody Muren’s journey from college baseball player to chiropractor began with his own injuries on the field. After earning his doctorate from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2017 and practicing as an associate for five years, he launched Full Swing Healthcare in March 2023. His Jacksonville practice combines traditional chiropractic care with cutting-edge treatments like stem wave therapy, acupuncture, and performance training informed by his work with a former US Olympic bobsledder.

    In this episode, we talk with Dr. Cody Muren, DC, TPI Certified, Owner of Full Swing Healthcare - Injury & Sports Care Jacksonville about how Cory got started, what drives the business, and what sets Full Swing Healthcare - Injury & Sports Care Jacksonville apart.

    Key Takeaways
    • Athlete-first mindset: Dr. Muren’s background as a college baseball player gives him firsthand understanding of athletes’ needs and the urgency to return to competition without compromising performance
    • Comprehensive treatment toolkit: Beyond traditional chiropractic adjustments, the practice offers massage therapy, acupuncture, dry needling, myofascial cupping and scraping, and advanced stem wave therapy—all under one roof
    • Performance enhancement focus:* Unlike practices that only treat injuries, Full Swing actively works with athletes (baseball players, golfers, soccer players) to optimize their performance, increase range of motion, and improve mechanics
    • Speed and sprint expertise:* Dr. Muren’s specialized training with a former US Olympic bobsledder gives him unique insight into sprint mechanics and muscle activation that most chiropractors don’t have
    • Whole-body analysis: Rather than just treating the area of pain, Dr. Muren always examines above and below the problem area (for example, checking hips, knees, and low back for someone with hip mobility issues) to address root causes
    Notable Quotes

    “I will see people who have gone through the gambit of injections and ortho visits and physical therapy and within a couple visits they’re at a level that they haven’t been in years and they’re just like ’I wish I had done this first.”

    Season 1

    About This Episode

    Craig Herrmann has spent three decades transforming from a commercial janitor into one of the nation’s leading mold remediation experts — literally co-authoring the international standards that govern the industry. Based in Las Vegas since 1973, his company Mold Eliminators handles everything from simple water heater failures to post-hurricane disasters, and employs a full-time insurance advocate to fight for homeowners when carriers deny legitimate claims.

    In this episode, we talk with Craig Herrmann, Owner of Mold Eliminators about how Craig got started, what drives the business, and what sets Mold Eliminators apart.

    Key Takeaways
    • Co-author of the IICRC S520, the international standard governing mold remediation — literally wrote the book on industry best practices
    • Holds 11 IICRC certifications with two master-level designations (fire and water damage restoration)
    • Handles extreme scenarios most contractors never see, including post-hurricane disaster remediation where homes were underwater for extended periods
    • Offers full-service capabilities: mold, water, fire, crime scene cleanup, hoarding situations, asbestos removal, and lead paint remediation — plus reconstruction through Construction by Mirage
    Notable Quotes

    “I have the privilege of being a co-author of the International Mold Standard. You wrote the book. I enjoyed it. It was enjoyable to be consulting with other people who are much smarter than me. I’m pretty smart, but these cats are much more scientifically involved.”

You can call me directly, you can email me, you can always ask any questions.” “I hope I won’t lose that touch and I’ll preserve the heritage and all the lessons that my dad gave me to keeping things real and personal and artistic.”
