Episode 791: Grit and Wellness with Dr. Carmen Romano

<p>On today's episode, Dennis sits down with Sports Chiropractor and mental and physical chemistry researcher, Dr. Carmen Romano. Dr. Carmen Romano received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Bridgeport University in December of 1999. After earning his degree, Dr Romano spent a year practicing in Italy before returning to New Jersey. Since 2003, he has owned Madison Medical &amp; Sports Rehabilitation Center in Madison, NJ. Madison Medical is an integrative medical center that includes Internal Medicine, Functional Medicine, Physical Medicine, Chiropractic, Podiatric and Physical Therapy services to patients. He also owns and operates R3 Recovery Lab which offers cryotherapy, infrared sauna and pneumatic compression services as well as cold-pressed juices, detox cleanses and butter brain coffee.</p> <p>At Madison Medical, Dr Romano has created a center where patients receive immediate attention from a collaborating team of whole body wellness focused practitioners. What began as a small Chiropractic office in 2003 has grown to a 10,000 square foot integrative medical center through Dr Romano’s &nbsp;philosophy and vision. Patient care at Madison Medical is a collaborative process with providers co-treating to address systemic issues along with current symptoms. Visits may include hormone and micro-nutrient testing, diagnostic ultrasound and x-ray, gait evaluations and orthotics to identify and address root causes of the symptoms being experienced.</p> <p>Dr Romano’s newest venture, R3Recovery Lab was born out of the observed need for complimentary services such as Cryotherapy, Infrared Sauna and Pneumatic Compression to aid athletes in real recovery. Recognizing that pro athletes have access to these types of services every day, Dr Romano created R3 so that the “weekend-warrior” type athlete or average patient recovering from injury or illness could also benefit from these services.Today, J.P. gets deep into sharing his story starting from what inspired him to join the Army, the loss of his friend Justin whil
