About this episode
Mike “C-Roc” welcomes Dr. Eric Balcavage, a functional medicine practitioner with a fascinating backstory rooted in grit, resilience, and reinvention. Dr. Balcavage opens up about his unconventional journey from business student and college rugby player to chiropractor and eventually a leading expert in functional medicine. A serious car accident, a chance encounter with a chiropractor, and a rebellious decision against his father's wishes set him on a completely unexpected path. He shares how personal experiences—including helping his sister-in-law navigate a complex health diagnosis—led him to explore and ultimately transition into functional medicine just before the pandemic hit. Dr. Balcavage also dives deep into the mind-body connection, explaining how structural issues, pain, and even the shoes we wear can impact overall health, performance, and healing. This episode is a powerful reminder that where you feel pain isn’t always where the problem lies—and that sometimes, the answers to our biggest health challenges are found in looking at the body as a whole system.
