(00:01):
Thirteen ten, Wi b A andAsk the Experts Joined in studio this evening
by Alan Brighton baki is with QCKinetics. Alan, great to see you
at the studio. Oh, it'sa pleasure to be here. Thanks for
having me. I've had the pleasureof coming out and visiting you at your
Southwest Side location a couple of times. And just an amazing clinic, and
we'll talk about all the magic thatgoes on there. But that's not the

(00:24):
only clinic. You have two herein the area, don't you. We
do. We also have one upon just off American Parkway and one fifty
one by Aaron Snugpub. So forfolks that have probably heard me and others
talking about QC Kinetics, pretty amazingstuff, really the future of medicine.
How did you get involved, Alan, with QC Kinetics. What's a little

(00:44):
bit about your background. Well,I got involved with it because I was
just really intrigued by the technology.You know, the ability to help help
people, you know, reduce painand prove their range of motion and give
their life back to them really wasvery appealing when you can do it in
a non surgical way, no downtime, no missed work, the ability to
get back to doing the things thatyou really want to do and feel like
the best version of yourself. Whenwe talk about that type of work that

(01:08):
you guys are doing at QC Kinetics, let's talk about your typical patient.
What is it for folks that kindof take the action they say, you
know what, I'm going to call. Everyone's got the number burnt into their
head six, so eighty three whenninety seven seventeen fifty is for people to
actually kind of make that step.What are you seeing? What's kind of
is there like a breaking point oris it just something where where it's it's

(01:30):
maybe a spouse or an event orsomething says, you know what, today's
the day to make that call andtake that action. What's kind of that
impetus? Generally? You know,I think it falls into kind of three
categories. Sometimes it's the spouse whosays enough is enough, But more often
than not, you know, painsneaks up on people in a different way.
Arthritis particularly, it sort of becomesas an ache and then it starts
to affect the way you sleep,the way you move, and pretty soon

(01:52):
you stop doing things and when yourealize I'm my life is getting smaller.
I'm not doing as much as Iwant to do. I may want to
go ride my bike, I maywant to go walk around the lake.
I may want to you know,be able to stand at a ballgame or
do something that I just can't doanymore. And then it's that realization sort
of like the glass shattering, whereyou say enough is enough. Also,

(02:13):
we hear a lot of people sayI can't sleep anymore. Oh it's too
painful. I lay on my side, whether it's my shoulder, my hip,
my knee. I want to beable to sleep again. And you
know, when you're sleep deprived,pain just gets worse and worse and worse.
And people just don't have the timeor the luxury to say, Okay,
I'm going to go have a surgery. You know, roll the dice
with what that's going to be miswork, you know, the cost of you

(02:36):
know, deductibles and insurance or throughthe roof. And so we provide a
nice alternative to that. Let's talkabout what what you mentioned the alternative and
what we're talking about with regenerative medicine. For folks that aren't familiar, what
is regenerative medicine? And and youmentioned kind of the science. This is
cutting edge, but it's not necessarilyanything new per se, is it.

(02:57):
It's it's it's obviously that these naturalbiologics have always been there. It's the
application and how we're using them thatare that revolutionized things, isn't it.
Yeah, you've really captured it.Well, it's not just a one size
fits all. We really try totailor our protocols to the individual patient.
You know, a lot of theterms have been out there in the industry
for a while. People will hearabout plasma or platelet rich plasma, or

(03:19):
stem cells, and we have afew other things that we have in our
bag of tricks, if you will, that that can help. Some of
it's a little bit proprietary, butwe do harvest really all the genetic I
should say genetic material, but thebiologic material from you. So we're using
your system to help heal yourself,and from that we really reduce any risk
of any sort of contamination or infectionand really allow your body to recognize what's

(03:46):
going on and then heal itself.You talk about contamination or infection and I
think of surgery and I I amsomebody who who's knock on Wood. I've
never actually had a surgical procedure performedon me in my life, and it's
it's and I've had loved ones thathave and it's always it's scary. I
mean that the reality is going throughthat. And modern medicine is amazing.

(04:08):
They can do amazing things, butit's still surgery. There's still that stuff.
This is an amazing alternative to getthe results are outstanding and not have
to worry about that process of beingput under. And I've got to bet
for a lot of folks too,that's something that they say, you know
what, I'm gonna I'm going togo this route because I just don't want

(04:30):
to experience that or have to gothrough that process of surgery. I think
that's spot on. Now. Oneof the things I want to make very
clear on is there are certainly timeswhere surgery is very appropriate. So I
don't want any of my comments tobe construed that somehow, oh, we
can solve every problem that you have. That's certainly not the case. We
know if you have a broken boneor a torn fully torn ligament, these

(04:53):
are things that we can't help with. But without question, you know,
there's plenty of people who rightfully havea little bit of a fear of surgery.
Maybe I've had a surgery. Alot of our patients have had one
knee replaced and just don't ever wantto go through that experience again, or
have had a hip replacement and don'twant to have that experience again, or
have a bad knee and they wantto stop the other one from getting that

(05:14):
bad, and so you know,we'll treat both. That Bilateral treatment is
very, very popular to make surethat we keep people moving because you know
what happened sometimes, Sean, isyou favor one joint and then pretty soon
the good joint yeah, gets worse, Yeah, and you start saying,
gee, that was my good knee. What happened? We just had a
Green Bay packer I was in it. I think of the player who was

(05:34):
that that was having some injury issuesand went in for studies and found out
his literally was relying on one legmuch more than the other and that stress
that was being put on that thatmore used leg. Case in point right
there. As we talked this morningwith Alan Bridenbach with QC Kinetics self whenever
six oh eight three one nine seventeenfifty that's six' eight three one nine,

(05:56):
seventeen fifty. So let's talk aboutthe consultation. That is, you guys
offer free consultation for folks that say, this is something I'm curious about.
How does that How does that consultationgo? And and and what are what
are you know, what are someof the people's experiences with those Well,
I think this is the thing that'sreally kind of a different experience than what
they might get from when I saytraditional medicine. When you go into your

(06:17):
family practitioner, you get a referralout to an orthopedist, you get the
opportunity to meet right away, youknow, with our specialists that can walk
you through here are the treatment optionsavailable to you. Obviously, you go
through we go through an exam,we want to make sure that you're a
viable candidate. We're taking a healthhistory. But as we go through that
process, we then tailor that programto what your situation is. And then

(06:38):
you'll meet with one of our patientconsultants to have the opportunity to go through
and say here's the best best pathforward for you, and here's what you
can expect as an outcome. Oneof the things things also I think is
really cool about QC kinetics. Isthat is that personalized experience is It's unfortunate
what's going on I think in healthcarein this country is a lot of folks

(06:58):
feel like a number they feel kindof like cattle being hearded this way and
that way, and don't really feellike their medical concerns, let alone their
personal concerns are being addressed, havingthose consultations, having those meetings. As
I've mentioned, I've had a chanceto meet with you a couple of times
here on the West Side, andI am always amazed at just how welcoming
and how open everybody is as wellto talk about different things and make that

(07:24):
connection and establish that relationship when itcomes to improving people's lives. That's important
too, is having that understanding ofwhat do you want to get out of
this and what's your goal here?Without question, I mean, we know
that one of the things we talkabout are really non medical. You know,
we don't get into a conversation tosay, Okay, we're going to
get your range of motion to this, or we're going to get your pain

(07:45):
level to this. Although I willsay one of the things we do is
we actually do use a third partyto validate our outcomes and to have the
ability to say, Okay, here'swhat we typically see from a patient.
So it's not just us saying it, although we have a lot of patients
that are saying it. It reallyis that opportunity to say, hey,
what does this mean to you?For some people, it may mean they
can get back into the weight roomand they can start doing squats again.

(08:07):
For some people that might mean Ican get on the floor with my grandkids
and get up without thinking about it. For some it might be I can,
you know, walk around of golf, or I can swim again,
or I can sleep, just somebasic things. I think one of the
things is if you've ever had thissaid to you, you know, I
have bone on bone. We wantto see you. Yeah, because we

(08:28):
really help people in that regard,and that really is a specialty for us.
You know, one of the thingsthat folks can't see but I can
is how you light up when youtalk about this stuff. You're passionate about
this, obviously for a number ofreasons. Having seen the outcome firsthand of
so many people that have come tovisit QC kinetics. You've also got a
personal story as well. Don't you, I do. I laugh about it.

(08:52):
Is that not only am my partof QC Kinetics, but I'm also
a patient my shoulder. I hada surgery on both my shoulder and back
in two thousand, played a lotof baseball and kept playing up until about
twenty fifteen, well past the warrantyexpiring, and really started falling into that
trap that I talked about earlier,and that is, you know, my

(09:13):
range of motion just kept decreasing.It kept decreasing. I was having trouble
sleeping on it. I'm a sidesleeper. So I finally said, you
know, this seems ridiculous. Herewe am here, I'm a part of
this clinic, and I haven't givenit a shot for myself. And I
would tell you, Sean, Iwent from not being able to reach across
my body to not raise my armabove my head. I'm showing you right
now, Right now, I'm back. I can do pushups, I can

(09:37):
do shoulder dips, I'm exercising.It really has made a profound difference.
And shoulders are so difficult to treatsurgically and to have an outcome like that,
I can't image. There's so muchgoing on. Yeah, it's not
just a hinge. It moves ina lot of different ways. It's a
pretty amazing joint. As we talkedthis morning with Alan Bridenbike with QC Kinetics

(09:58):
self number six eight three seventeen fifty. That's six so eight three one nine
seventeen fifty, we hear a lotof horror stories of folks that have pain,
and the obvious thing that for alot of us we do as we
reach for the medicine cabinet, westart out maybe some tail and all or
whatever, and then start going peoplewant to avoid that for for really good

(10:20):
reason. Sure, and QC Kineticsand I say this, and I think
this needs to be reinforced. Nodrugs, No drugs. Yeah, and
that's a great point. I thinkone of the things that is often forgotten
is we have become, you know, we sort of numb the pain in
different ways. It might be youknow, oh I had a tough day
to day, I'm feeling pretty sore. I have a few drinks, you
know, have an old fashion onFriday. Nothing wrong with that, But

(10:43):
by the same token, pretty soonyou know you're taking tail and all or
you're taking advil, and then prettysoon you're taking six eight ten, twelve,
just to get through the day,just to get your day started.
That can have a lot of challengeswith it. Sometimes you can go to
a general practitioner and they'll give you, you know, core zone shot.
Well, you can only do afew of those. You know, that's
not something you can do over andover and over because it can start to

(11:05):
break down the tissues. We actuallyhave a number of patients we refused.
We refer to those as cruise shots. Hey, I'm going on a cruise
this summer. I want to beable to get through it. But when
I get back, let's get treated. And I think there's a big difference
between masking pain and fixing pain.And that's really where we try to focus.
And that's what I was going toask you about next, is just
that is when you know, you'reyou know, if you're doing those those

(11:28):
the injection steroids and other things,or an end set and those those type
of things, it's not addressing theissue at all. It's making it so
you don't maybe not feel the issue, but you're really not solving the problem,
are you. Yeah. It's nota permanent solution, right, I
mean, I think about it.If your shingles blow off your roof.
You might put a blue tarp upthere for a while and that can hide
the problem. You still have aproblem. Yeah, and the final thing

(11:50):
too, And we're going to actuallytalk more with Alan about Obviously we talk
about by logics and we talk aboutrestoring your damaged tissue, the other things
they do a QC kinetics as well. I'm going to talk with Alan about
that in just a moment, Butfirst I also want to talk about getting
back to life. Is we talkedabout surgery earlier. There's recovery. There's
substantial recovery when it comes to surgery, QC kinetics, natural biologics. What's

(12:18):
the recovery like there? At what'szero? You know? Without question?
I mean I'll tell you that peoplewalk into the clinic, they walk back
out. Yeah, they can drivethemselves home. They have the ability to,
you know, keep doing what theywant to do. Probably the only
thing that might slow them down alittle bit is we have one procedure when

(12:39):
we deal with stem cells that youjust can't take a shower for twenty four
hours, so you can't get itwet. So if you shower up before
you come in, it probably won'tdisrupt your schedule too badly to wait twenty
four hours and go from there.No problem, they're at all Talking today
with Alan Bredenbach. He is withQC Kinetics. You can, of course
pick a phone, give him acall you're looking for. Of course,
we were talking about regenerative medicine.If you've got that pain, knees hips,

(13:03):
shoulder, back pain, pick upthe phone, give them a call,
get that free consultation six oh eightthree one nine seventeen fifty. That's
six oh eight three one nine seventeenfifty, which you you our conversation with
Alan. Oh, they do moreat QC can X. We're gonna get
the details out. They're doing othergreat miraculous things for folks at QC can
X. We'll do that next atOur conversation with Alan Brian Bach with QC

(13:24):
Kinetics continues right here on thirteen tendou Wui b a thirteen ten wui b
A and ask the experts talking todaywith Alan briden Bock of QC Kinetics.

(13:45):
Miss any part of the program,don't bring you can always listen back at
WIVA dot com, also available onthe iHeartRadio app. Talking about some of
the great stuff they are doing aQC kinetics if you've got questions or of
course you'd like to schedule that freeconsultation telephone number six oh eight three seventeen
fifty. That's six so eight threeone nine seventeen fifty. I ask you
about that. That consultation as well, Alan is for a lot of folks

(14:09):
like, Oh, I'm going toget in there and they're just gonna,
you know, run me through thesystem. There's a reason, a really
important reason for that those consultations,isn't there. Yeah. I think one
of the biggest things that we tryto emphasize is we know not everybody's eligible
for care. So for example,people might have back pain that's being caused
by a nerve issue. Well,that's something that regenerative medicine hasn't quite figured

(14:30):
out yet. I hope we do, sure, But that's really a critical
piece, Right, You're under thecare of a doctor, You're under the
care of a physician group that reallycares about what you're doing and whether or
not you're likely to have a goodoutcome. Because I'm not interested in treating
somebody where you know, we maysteer them a different way. We may
say, hey, we've had somepeople come in who have a severely sprained
ankle and we'll say, let's justbe a little patient. Or we might

(14:52):
have somebody who has a disk issueor a bone issue that we can't quite
deal with, and we want tobe very disciplined and saying here is your
best course of action. It maybe with us, it may not be,
but if it is with us,we certainly are going to talk you
through the pros and cons of whatthat might be. And that's one of
the fantastic things about making that callsix o' eight three one nine, seventeen
fifteen, getting that free consultation tostart that start that exploration. Is it

(15:16):
right for you? Is it somethingthat's going to be perfect for you?
We all hope so, but again, you do never know until you make
that call six oh eight three onenine, seventeen fifteen. We talk about
regenerative medicine, those regenderate medicine protocols. There's other things that you guys are
doing a QC kinetics that are thatare vitally important and folks may not be
aware of. First off, Ihear the phrase low tea. Yes,

(15:37):
what are we talking about with lowT? Well, it's testosterone replacement therapy,
okay, and you certainly see alot of advertising for it. It's
become very, very popular. I'mactually a patient for that as well,
and I can't believe the difference it'smade for me, Sean, I just
started it three months ago. Inthe last three months, I've lost ten
and a half pounds of fat,oh wow, four pounds of bustle,

(16:00):
and I have actually taken a poundof fat off my mid section, that
visceral fat that gets on your organs. A lot of times, I think
people think about testosterone replacement around sexualfunction or sexual dysfunction. Really the difference
is how you sleep, your mentalclarity, your energy level, that three
o'clock sort of crash that you havein the afternoon where you go and reach

(16:22):
for you know, PENU, mine, MS or whatever your you know,
vice might be. You're looking closeat me. Well that's that was my
personal one. There's no question aboutit. I can't believe the difference it
has made for me. And weactually do some things that are unique in
terms of reducing any of the potentialside effects. Also making sure that you're

(16:44):
under medical care so that you're nottaking pills from a mall, you know,
vitamin shop. You're not taking aprescription off the internet where you might
talk to somebody on a video screen. We're you know, taking blood levels,
We're looking at contraindicators. We're makingsure that we dial in exactly what
you need, not just what youknow somebody says, hey, here you
go. Because I think one ofthe things that can be very dangerous when

(17:07):
you start playing with hormones is youcan over or under and you can start
getting into a whole situation that youjust don't want. So we're really thrilled
about it because one of the thingsthat is interesting is low hormones can actually
lead to some joint you know problemreally and so there all these things kind
of fit together in a very uniqueway, and so low T has really
been an exciting part for us.You mentioned too, how how these things

(17:30):
can all fit together. So Ithink that having the high standard as well,
I think is something that obviously folkswho have maybe you've known somebody that
that's that's been to QC Kinetics oror heard others talking about it, is
having that very high standard of care. And of course when you're applying these
things, how you're applying and whowhen you mentioned, you know, literally
having that that consultation, having thatmeeting face to face one on one of

(17:53):
those meetings, how important that is. We talked today with Alan Bridenbach telphe
Ouverer for QC Kinetics six eight threeseventeen fifty. That's six eight three seventeen
fifty. As a guy with nohair, I always go to the I
always go to the go to thehair loss thing. And you guys can
help folks with that, can't you. We do, And actually, surprisingly

(18:18):
larger than fifty percent, more thanfifty percent of our patients are actually women.
We help a lot of women.We can do isolated treatments if you
have kind of a spot that's thinningout that you're uncomfortable with, you know,
if you're wearing a headband or ahat or having to comb your hair
a certain way, we generally canhelp, and certainly we can help if
you have a whole head that youwant to do as well. But we

(18:40):
also walk you through that to saywhat are the likely outcomes? Are you
a good Canada? You know,what's the health of the hair follicle?
Is it possible to regrow hair?Not everybody can, And we're going to
have that conversation with you. Butyou know, I make the running joke
that for the most part, ifif you're a viable Canadate, we can
grow grass on a rock, wellwe know how to do it. This
is pretty dense. We may haveto talk. We'll have to talk about

(19:00):
that. And then one other thingis you mentioned with with low T and
the treatment there a weight loss andas a society we are we're not good.
And I'll point to figure out myselfas well about about doing good things
for ourselves, and we think aboutcarrying around those extra pounds. You guys
are able to help folks with weight, aren't you. I couldn't be more

(19:22):
excited about this part of our treatmentbecause it helps everybody. We certainly see
all the things out there. Weknow the brand names Ozepic is one of
the ones that gets talked about,Njaro and others. There. Again,
we try to dial in exactly what'sbest for you and think about the combination.
For every pound that you take off, that's four less pounds of pressure
on your joints, and so incombination, these things can be spectacular for

(19:45):
people. But the problem with themagain is you know, these are a
medical treatment. This isn't something thatpeople should just buy over the internet or
just go into, you know,a place that might do facial threading or
other things. You know, youwant to get under the care of a
doctor and you want to be ableto have ongoing support and maintenance as you
go through this, and we continueto check in. We actually have an

(20:07):
app. We work with you tomake sure that you're tracking well, and
we work with you in terms ofyour biology to make sure that this is
the right mixture, if you will, for you, so we do things
that can reduce any potential side effects. We slowly ramp up your levels in
it to make sure that you're toleratingthe drug well. And everybody's a little
bit different again as you do it, and so you have to have that

(20:27):
ongoing work with your physician or yourprovider to make sure that you're getting the
best possible treatment. And then dependingon what your weight loss goals are,
right, if you're thirty pounds orless, we may treat you differently than
if somebody is fifty to eighty poundsor one hundred pounds, and we walk
you through that and kind of havethose candid conversations and say, hey,
here's what's possible. I know someof our early patients here have had just

(20:51):
wonderful successes, and we really loveit because when you see them coming back
in smiling, yes, that's alwaysa good thing. What a great time
of year to look great, feelgood. As we talk with Alan Brydenbach
with QC Kinetics. If you've obviouslybecome familiar with QC kinetics you're interested,
make that call. Also, moreimportantly, most importantly, if you've got
somebody specially in your life, yousay, you know what you may benefit

(21:12):
from this, tell them about QCKinetics. The telephone number six oh eight
three one nine seventeen fifty. That'ssix oh eight three one nine seventeen fifty.
Alan, it's always great to seeyou. Look forward to seeing you
again real soon. I appreciate Sean, thanks so much. And again that
telephone number six oh eight three onenine seventeen fifty
