🎙✨ CRAP

🧩 Season Theme: Hungry
It starts with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread. 🥪
Cheap. Easy. Normal.

At 15 years old, Dr. Aaron Chapa found himself overweight, confused, and hungry for direction  with no real guidance on food, health, or how the body actually works.

This episode is called “CRAP” because sometimes what we eat, what we trust, and what we’re told is “normal” slowly shapes us in ways we don’t see… until it costs us.

👣 Guest Introduction

Dr. Aaron Chapa’s health journey didn’t start in a clinic  it started in his own body.

In eighth grade, struggling with his weight, he made one bold decision: cut sugar. That single change led to a 45-pound weight loss in one summer and sparked a lifelong pursuit of health and wellness.

But everything shifted when Aaron held his father in his arms as he passed away suddenly from a heart attack. In that moment, he realized the system meant to protect health had failed and his calling became clear.

Today, Dr. Chapa is a functional wellness educator, chiropractor, and co-founder of Living Well Clinical Nutrition Center, helping people heal without drugs or surgery by focusing on health at the cellular level.
