In this episode of Healed. Whole. Called., Wendy sits down with Dr. Brett Hill—chiropractor, entrepreneur, and founder of Experience Life Chiropractic and YourPostureProgram.com—to unpack why posture may be one of the most overlooked foundations of health.

Dr. Hill shares that his journey into chiropractic began not with a childhood dream, but with disillusionment. Watching his mother receive prescription after prescription without ever addressing root causes led him to seek a different path—one focused on understanding how the body truly functions. That search eventually brought him to chiropractic care and, more specifically, to the neurological role posture plays in health.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Hill reframes posture entirely. It isn’t about forcing your shoulders back or “sitting up straight” through willpower. True posture, he explains, is an unconscious system driven by the nervous system—one designed to hold us upright against gravity so we can move, think, and live efficiently. When that system becomes deactivated through prolonged sitting, screen use, and modern habits, the body adapts in ways that quietly lead to pain, imbalance, fatigue, and even emotional stress.

Dr. Hill explains how forward head posture alone can contribute to headaches, jaw tension, vertigo, chronic neck and back pain, hip tightness, and recurring injuries. Over time, the nervous system begins to treat these compensations as “normal,” making dysfunction feel familiar—even when it isn’t healthy.

One of the most powerful insights of the episode is how posture directly affects the brain. Proper alignment activates the frontal lobe, improving decision-making, emotional regulation, stress response, and confidence. Poor posture, on the other hand, keeps the brain locked in survival patterns, subtly reinforcing anxiety and fatigue.

Rather than creating dependency, Dr. Hill intentionally designed his work to empower people. Through his online posture program, individuals from around the world can complete a posture analysis, receive personalized feedback, and walk through a guided 10-week process that retrains the brain-body connection. The goal is not constant treatment, but lasting change—helping the body adapt in healthier ways so people can maintain results long-term.

Dr. Hill also offers practical, immediately usable guidance—such as using a wall, chair, or car headrest to gently cue proper head positioning and core activation throughout the day. These small awareness shifts, repeated consistently, compound into meaningful transformation over time.

This episode is especially encouraging for those who have felt dismissed, disappointed, or discouraged by past healthcare experiences. Dr. Hill reminds listeners not to give up on healing simply because one approach didn’t work. The body is remarkably adaptable when given the right signals—and posture may be one of the most powerful signals we can restore.
