Meet Dr. Sean Patterson

The following is taken from an interview with Dr. Patterson.

Where did you go to school?

    I went to school in Sonoma County and finished up my undergrad at Sonoma State University. Sonoma County offered much in the way of alternate healing and therapies.

    I attended Life Chiropractic College West, because the President really had a pulse on the Wellness Revolution.  I learned not only to care for the spine, but I learned the body's physiology, biochemistry, hormones, neurology and much more.  I truly was able to become a doctor. It is sad to me that most Chiropractors are satisfied with only dealing with aches and pains when there are so many people in need of what we know.

    The Wellness Revolution is basically a change in how people "do" health care. The baby boomers refuse to get old and suffer the way many of their parents did. There are far too many ant aging therapies and lifestyle changes that can reactivate the fountain of youth. 

    Chiropractic is leading the charge in the Wellness Revolution.  Renowned author and economist Paul Zane Pilzer summed it up beautifully in his book, "The Wellness Revolution", that is predicting a revolution of healthcare as we know it. I have positioned myself to be a leader in this revolution and help people discover wellness.

Why health care and not something else? Health care requires a lot of dedication.

    I always knew I had the gift healing and encouraging. I would rehabilitate injured animals as a small child or put my hands on people's injured joints and make them feel better. I realized that there was so much healing that begins with touch and observation.

    People are NOT defined by their symptoms; however traditional allopathic medicine seems to want to label people by their illness. 

   I have never gone the path of least resistance.  Health care is definitely a tough environment if you buck the system of Drugs and Symptom Based Care. However, there is NO health care system in the world that can change lives like the one I have adopted.

What have been your biggest influences?

    My biggest influences have been innovators and authors.  Those not afraid to suffer to get their message to the public. 

    Some of the people who that have inspired me and changed my life are as follows:  David Hawkins, Karol Truman, John Brimhall, Eric Berg, The Coen Brothers, Dan Kennedy, and my family to name a few.  

    I don't get too deep into politics and health care as the laws go. I know we are told a small fraction of truth in our culture.  I believe we are truly an oppressed society. A culture oppressed by debt, power and control. My goal is to educate people on the truth, no matter the cost.

What has really moved you?

    I believe that our medical system is not only misinforming its patients, but its own doctors. Some of the things that patients are told from their respected medical professionals is outdated, inaccurate, and sometimes is dangerous. 

    It really outrages me to see patients suffering from side effects of drugs and surgeries they never should have had. I am not mad at the individual practitioner, but the system. Cancer, Diabetes, and Heart Disease is so easily prevented through education and lifestyle. 

    However, our system waits until diseases are present and then tries to "defeat" them through invasive therapies. Why no prevention?

    I am deeply moved and excited for people when we are able to identify sickness that is developing and cultivating before it becomes a life threatening disease. I am so happy to have found some of my mentors when I did. Mentors that can help me take the truth to the people. 

You mentioned traveling. What impact did that have? You commented how many overseas eat simpler less refined diets.

    I was blown away, that country after county in Europe I witnessed people "doing life different".

    Speaking generally, people are not as stressed. They stay up late, sleep late, smoke, drink wine and cappuccinos, and were merry. At the end of the day, they are not obese, they look great, and Ninety year olds play cards in the plazas, laughing and really enjoying life.

    What is the difference I asked myself?  What are they doing different?

    My answers were simple. They were simple. They didn't work out 6 days a week, they didn't obsess, and they didn't bottle up their stress like we do in America.

    That is why I put such an emphasis on helping the emotional systems of the body to heal and teach people to recognize when there emotions and spirit are stressed.

    To sum up what I learned from traveling to more than 13 countries and 30 cities that year: Stress Kills. It robs us of our health and our quality of life.

    My goal: to help you remove the barriers physically, emotionally, hormonally, chemically, and structurally that is causing your stress!

Successes? Awards, special mentions?

    Personally: I have competed in two bodybuilding and physique transformation events. 

    I am married to a terrific spark plug named Renee and have been blessed with three boys; Carter, Keenan and Cole. I have Dedicated hundreds of hours helping the youth of my communities.

    Professionally, I have trained with the world's best alternative healers. I received my Doctorate at age 27 and went on to start, own and operate three successful wellness centers by the age of 33.

Failures that you learned from and continued on?

    Failure: Trying to get people well and still follow the guidelines of Western Medicine and their counterpart, their "best friend" the Insurance Monster.

    I have learned that there is a cost for getting well and for breaking free of the medical machine. People who break free usually have to invest a lot of time educating themselves, fighting doctors oppressive diagnoses and recommendations, arguing the facts with insurance companies, and paying more out of pocket than their friends who just accept being ill. 

    I finally gave up the uphill battle of dealing with insurance companies and their rules.  I opted out of all those controlling contracts where someone behind a desk was telling me how to treat my patients.

    I now offer such an amazing system of care that my patients are thrilled to be out of that broken system. Now we can focus on THE PATIENT, not the Rules and Laws of Western Medicine.

What is your professional specialties and why?

    My niche is very simple. 90% of my clientele is baby boom women and their children.  I have extraordinary results with men too, but to be honest women are the most mismanaged and I feel that by directing my efforts to them, I affect more people.

    My biggest successes come from using my knowledge and applying it to Weight Loss, Chronic Pain, Insomnia, Hot Flashes, Adrenal Fatigue and Digestive Disorders.

For this interview, any specific message you would like to discuss or get across?

    YES! Health is NOT the absence of symptoms. The World Health Organization defines Health as:  Optimal Social, Mental/Emotional, and Physical Health.

    Please take the time to have a wellness specialist evaluate your body using state of the art technologies. "An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure".

Who is the real Dr. Sean Patterson?

    Lastly, I don't want to hide who I am. I am a real person. I have no desire to be wrapped up in ego and pride.

    I try to practice what I preach. We are all in this together. I respect rules, but accept them as guidelines, not absolutes. 

    I believe we all have a purpose on this earth, and that purpose is to redeem our hurts, maladies and upsets for something better, something God given; Peace, Love and Wellness.

    I believe that what has led me to my success is the ability to actively listen, observe and act. This allows me to draw from a multitude of healing arts to properly provide someone what they need, when they need it.

    Sometimes the truth is messy, hard to accept and requires work. But as it has been said before, "the truth will set you free". Life is yours. Grab it tightly and hold on for it can be a wild, but exciting ride.
