Building Your Wellness Team

Building Your Wellness Team: A Conversation with Dr. Bart Precourt

Health isn’t something you stumble into—it’s something you plan for, pursue, and practice every day. On this episode of The Synergee Podcast, Kelly Engelmann and Lori Esarey sit down with Dr. Bart Precourt, chiropractor, acupuncturist, and founder of Balance 30A and Prima Organic Café in Florida, to explore what it means to create a wellness plan and choose the right people for your wellness team.

From Atlanta to 30A: Creating a Lifestyle of Wellness

After nearly 15 years of running a traditional chiropractic practice in Atlanta, Dr. Bart and his wife decided to move closer to the beach in Florida. What began as a fresh start evolved into something much bigger:

• Balance 30A – A wellness hub offering chiropractic, acupuncture, yoga, massage, and functional services.
  
• Prima Organic Café – A farm-to-table café serving real, nourishing food.
  
• The Farm – Where they raise chickens and grow produce that feeds both their family and their community café.

The move wasn’t just about a new location. It was about living the lifestyle they were teaching—integrating food, movement, nature, and healing modalities into everyday life.

Why You Need a Wellness Plan

Most people plan for their careers, finances, and relationships—but not their health. Dr. Bart challenges us to think long-term:

“If I keep doing what I’m doing today, what will I be like in 10, 20, or 30 years?”

Without a plan, chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders creep up silently. A wellness plan is your proactive strategy to preserve strength, mobility, and brain health before problems set in.

Chiropractic Care: A Missing Link in Many Wellness Journeys

Chiropractic care isn’t just about relieving back or neck pain—it’s about restoring communication between the brain and the body.

• Misalignments, poor posture, and stress create interference in the nervous system.
  
• Adjustments remove this interference, improving mobility, organ function, and even digestion.
  
• Posture itself is a predictor of health: forward shoulders and compressed ribcages force the heart, lungs, and digestive organs to work harder.
  

“You live by the life of your spine. Range of motion is your lifeline.” – Dr. Bart Precourt

Beyond Chiropractic: Acupuncture and Acoustic Wave Therapy

Dr. Bart has expanded his practice to include complementary healing tools:

Acupuncture

• Based on Chinese medicine’s oldest principles.
  
• Restores balance to the body’s energy, or Chi.
  
• Effective for pain, anxiety, digestive issues, infertility, and stress.

Acoustic Wave Therapy

• Non-invasive soundwave treatment that remodels connective tissue.
  
• Revascularizes scar tissue, stimulates stem cells, and improves healing.
  
• Used for arthritis, joint pain, old injuries, and even sexual health.

These therapies don’t “do the healing” for you—they stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

Nutrition, Movement, and Lifestyle: The Foundation

While modalities like chiropractic and acupuncture help remove interference, Dr. Bart reminds us that lifestyle drives the quality of healing.

• Poor nutrition, dehydration, and lack of movement slow recovery.
  
• Good sleep, clean food, hydration, and strength training accelerate it.
  
• Pain is your “check engine light”—a signal that your current habits aren’t working.
  

Who Belongs on Your Wellness Team?

Wellness isn’t a solo project. Building a strong wellness team creates accountability and resilience. Your team might include:

• Chiropractor – for spinal alignment and nervous system health.
  
• Functional Medicine Provider – for root-cause lab analysis and lifestyle medicine.
  
• Nutrition Coach – for food-as-medicine strategies.
  
• Movement Specialist – yoga, physical therapy, or personal training for mobility and strength.
  
• Mental Health Professional – for stress, trauma, and emotional balance.
  

The key? Find providers you trust, align with your values, and actually enjoy working with.

Practical Daily Habits for Spine and Mobility Health

• Practice Spinal Flow – Simple daily movements to maintain disc hydration and flexibility (see Dr. Bart’s free video at Balance30A.com).
  
• Stretch and Strengthen – Men often need more flexibility; women often need more strength, especially post-menopause.
  
• Prioritize Posture – Treat posture like a vital sign. Poor posture = poor health.
  
• Choose Your Hard – It’s hard to eat well and exercise, but it’s also hard to live sick. Which “hard” will you choose?
  

Final Takeaways from Dr. Bart Precourt

• The body is a self-healing mechanism. Remove interference, and it will repair itself.
  
• Defense mode is expensive. Chronic stress drains energy and accelerates aging.
  
• Everyone is an athlete. Whether it’s picking up grandkids or playing tennis, your health is what lets you enjoy life.
  

Wellness is a pursuit. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress and staying intentional.
