• Stop Trying to Fix Yourself: Recoding Your Identity to Create a Life You Love with Dr. John Schellenberg
    Jan 15 2026

    What if the only thing standing between you and the life you love isn't your effort, but your identity?

    In this profound and high-energy episode, Dr. John Schellenberg—chiropractor, mindset mentor, and expert in Neuro Emotional Technique (NET)—joins host Nick Houpt to explore the invisible structures that govern our health, wealth, and happiness. John shares how a chance meeting at a seminar shifted the trajectory of his life and how he now helps hundreds of people "recode" their subconscious patterns to unlock lasting transformation.

    From the science of how trauma is stored in our organs to the "Great Discovery" of why we can’t actually screw up our lives, John challenges the "problem-solving" loop that keeps most of us stuck. This conversation is a masterclass in shifting from a victim mentality into a creative flow.

    We explore:

    • The Power of Identity Recoding: Why you can't grow an oak tree from a maple seed—and how to shift your "inner acorn" to match your goals.
    • Neuro Emotional Technique (NET): How unresolved emotions park themselves in your muscles and organs, and the process for releasing them.
    • The Law of Charge Parity: Why every choice has equal benefits and drawbacks, and how neutrality leads to better decisions.
    • Be, Do, Have: Why most weight loss journeys fail because they are approached backwards.

    Whether you are looking to reclaim your health or simply want to stop "squeezing" life so hard, John provides the tools to help you choose again and step into your true nature as a creator.
