Dr. Alessandra Colón
DC
Dr. Alessandra Colón DC
Dr. Alessandra Colón has a deep compassion for those seeking improved health and wellness fueled by personal experience. At the young age of 14, Dr. Colón was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer. After doctors gave her a 25 percent chance to live, she underwent advanced chemotherapy and radiation leading her to remission. Surviving her greatest struggle powered her love of health and life. “Looking back it dawned on me that I had gained so much more than growing my hair back,” she says, “beating cancer had gave me the push to become more knowledgeable about the human body, nutrition, and natural prevention of disease.”
After graduating from The University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Science, Dr. Colón’s devotion led her to pursue her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Daytona, Florida.
During her studies, Dr. Colon desired to both test her abilities further as well as reach out to a global community. Between the years of 2010 and 2012, she traveled to the Grenadines, the Dominican Republic, and India offering free chiropractic care to over 4,000 people. Her commitment to promoting optimal health and well-being has been integral in freeing people from pain and increasing her patient’s whole-body performance ever since.
Her journey did not end there, after spending years running marathons alongside her mother and brother, in the fight against cancer; she was nominated to campaign for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and was crowned the 2015 Woman of The Year. She also took home Palm Beach Illustrated Top Chiropractor 2018 and Best of Palm Beach 2020 and 2021. Today, she serves her community as a living inspiration to us all and a daily reminder to fight for the things you believe in.
Most recently, Dr. Alessandra Colón is the first in her profession to pioneer a national television series. Bringing chiropractic to the forefront on TLC’s newest show “Crack Addicts.” Intending to break the connotation surrounding the Chiropractic profession and showcasing that is not just about the “cracks,” when it comes to healing. She also made a debut on the “TODAY Show”. Her segment was titled, “Myth vs. Fact: Everything You Need to Know About Optimal Body Alignment from a Chiropractor.” Her notoriety has now led her to speaking engagements all over the nation, accredited courses, and treating patients from all over the world in her new state-of-the-art wellness and spa center.
As for her practice, Dr. Colón uses a “whole person approach.” This approach to wellness involves discovering the root causes of pathology or dysfunction and making interventions and lifestyle adjustments that optimize one’s ability to function in day-to-day life. She looks to the spine when evaluating a patient’s entire body and treats it accordingly, as she understands that complete health relies heavily on how body parts affect each other biomechanically. She says, “Don’t restrict your practice to the musculoskeletal; it’s much more than that. There is nothing better than allowing your body to heal itself.”

Objectives:
1. Understand the difference between someone with pain of a sensory nature and someone
with pain of a cognitive nature and how a Chiropractic care approach may differ in the two.2. Understand why sensory pain and inflammation occur as well as multiple strategies to use in
conjunction with spinal manipulation that will help patients reduce their pain faster and more sustainably.3. Understand the bigger picture about why the use of opioids will never be the answer and how
Chiropractic has the power to increase many different types of interbody communication, create
coherence in the body, create coherence in relationships and communities and effectively change the
world.Description: The traditional explanation of how Chiropractic has the effects we see day in and day out in our
clinics is that we relieve pressure on spinal nerves restoring communication through nervous system signaling
which increases function in the body. However, new science and understanding of human physiology rooted in
biophysics rather than biochemistry shows us that while relieving pressure on nerves may indeed happen, the
profound effects of Chiropractic are much deeper than this. Understanding the science behind the electricity,
magnetism, sound, and light of our bodies and how it affects the fascia, cellular communication, 4th phase
water, and heart coherence gives us a whole new understanding of what Chiropractic is capable of. It turns out,
the Palmers’ description of the effects they saw in their patients was soundly rooted in physiology and science,
biophysics. Being stuck in the biochemical model, modern medicine had no way of understanding this. The
implications of this have the power to show us the path forward in the opioid epidemic and help us move toward
a united profession. -

Objectives:
1. Discuss traditional and functional laboratory assessments for the geriatric patient
2. Define risk factors and prevention strategies for aging population
3. Determine nutritional therapeutics for the geriatric patient
Description: Almost 95% of adults 60 years of age and older have at least one chronic condition, with nearly
80% having two or more chronic diseases. The aging process can bring about many challenges. One of these
challenges is the impact of chronic diseases, which can affect activities of daily living, reduce quality of life, and
increase mortality risk. Seniors’ life expectancy is increasing as well as the risk of developing chronic disease
increases with age. In addition, certain diseases occur more often in the senior population. The good news is
that many common chronic diseases are preventable and manageable. The prevalence of co-morbid conditions
makes treating elderly patients different from other populations. While mortality rates have declined for most
chronic diseases, some have increased. Many of these patients are on numerous medications which can have
interactions or serious side effects. Therefore, the treatment or management of a variety of conditions in the
elderly population can be a challenge. This presentation combines the risk factors, patient evaluation,
laboratory assessment, prevention strategies, dietary and lifestyle recommendations, and novel nutritional
therapeutics to support the geriatric patient. Dr. Jurgelewicz will take you through a comprehensive approach to
geriatric care. These patients want to optimize their health; however, many traditional treatments can have
significant side effects. These individuals are often looking for an alternative approach. -

William Kleber
DC, DABCI
William Kleber DC, DABCI
Dr. Kleber received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at New York Chiropractic College in 1982. He also earned his Diplomate Degree from the American Board of Chiropractic Internists in 2000. He is one of two coordinators of the DABCI program, certified by the Council on Diagnosis and Internal Disorders. His interest in internal medicine began when he came to believe that his patients were suffering from more than just subluxations, but serious internal disorders continually exacerbating the subluxations. His desire to learn more about these issues stemmed from his dedication to improve not only the health of his patients, but the quality of their life, with natural medicine. As a Chiropractic Internist, Dr. Kleber is equipped to diagnose and treat a full spectrum of conditions from a common cold to chronic illness and disease. He is in the unique position of utilizing advanced diagnostic methods to uncover the source of illness and then treat with holistic and natural supplements to correct illness. Early on, he had a keen interest in endocrinology, believing that thyroid disorders are frequently misdiagnosed, misunderstood and poorly managed. He is recognized in the industry for his expertise in the accurate diagnosis and successful treatment of thyroid disorders without pharmaceutical interventions. With more than 29 years experience as a chiropractor and more than 11 years as an internist, Dr. Kleber has built a successful practice in Colorado, providing alternative options to those who have exhausted the traditional field of medicine with no success. Using a synergistic approach to caring for his patients, Dr. Kleber finds the combination of nutrition, blood work, hormonal balancing, and chiropractic has brought powerful new tools to their successful treatment.

*Understanding the role of the chiropractic physician in chronic complex diseases.
Recognizing that patients will be coming to chiropractic physicians’ offices with complaints usually
reserved for traditional medical offices.*Recognizing Graves’ disease and its accurate diagnosis. Understanding the autoimmune component and
the difference between humoral and cell mediated responses.*Realizing that patients may come in with a prior simple diagnosis and upon further scrutiny come to the
conclusion that the initial diagnosis is not accurate and treatment must be changed.Description: In today’s presentation, we will examine chronic complex conditions that have traditionally been
treated only by traditional allopathic medicine. Patients without symptoms or a standing diagnosis rarely make
appointments with a doctor to simply improve health that is already good. They make appointments because
they are sick, in pain and often have been diagnosed with a serious disease. Patients are usually aware of the
treatment that is prescribed by traditional medicine, and they are looking for alternatives. As an introduction to
DABCI and Chiropractic Internal Disorders, we will discuss common conditions seen in a DABCI practice.
Conditions we will focus on will vary in complexity. Doctors starting to treat internal disorders would not be
expected to start with the more complex cases.Click Here and Rate This Course

1. Recognize conditions that can wind up in a chiropractic office that might need to be
referred out such as cellulitis, appendicitis, cholecystitis, and pyelonephritis.2. Learn to recognize acute diseases and proper testing and referral.
3. Learn the significance of laboratory testing for all chiropractic clinics regardless of the way that doctor
chooses to practice.Description: Patients are presenting themselves at chiropractic offices with more serious conditions than ever.
They do not want to go to emergency rooms in many instances as many emergency rooms are overcrowded
and expensive. It is getting harder to book appointments with specialists. Many patients simply want to be told
that there is nothing seriously wrong and are looking for a simple, inexpensive fix to their problem. For these
reasons, more patients are presenting to chiropractic offices. Risk management is the continuing process to
identify, analyze, evaluate, and treat the risk exposure and to monitor how to minimize the risks seen every day
in the chiropractic office. Risks can include improper patient care and the impact it can have on the individual
chiropractic office and the profession at large.Click Here and Rate This Course

Eric Kussin
Eric Kussin
Eric Kussin is a sought-after international keynote speaker. After graduating from Cornell University, Magna Cum Laude, Kussin spent many years as a professional sports executive, starting his career with a long stint at the NBA League Office, and then transitioning to management positions with such teams as the Chicago Sky, Phoenix Suns, New Jersey Devils, and Florida Panthers. Eric was in the midst of this ascending career when a debilitating mental health crisis stopped his life in its tracks. Due to the impacts of unresolved personal life traumas that began accumulating inside of him (unknowingly) from a young age – traumas that began affecting his mental health – Eric spent two and a half years almost permanently in bed and with severe cognitive impairments. Kussin underwent many failed treatments – including trying over 50 combinations of prescription medications, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), IV Ketamine, as well as Electro-Convulsive Therapy. Eventually, he was told that he was “treatment-resistant.” It wasn’t long after hearing this that he was introduced to integrative and holistic approaches to treat his mind, body, and central nervous system. Thus began his journey to wellness and getting his life back. On his path to mental well-being, Eric became determined to share his story of challenges and triumphs, in an effort to help others, and launched a nonprofit: The #SameHere Global Mental Health Movement. The organization is comprised of athletes, celebrities, expert practitioners, advocates, and everyday heroes who’ve come together to normalize society’s perception of mental health and make it part of our everyday conversation. The organization has partnered with, and brought together, the inventors and lead researchers of many of the world’s leading mind-body modalities under the brand of “STARR” (Stress & Trauma Active Release & Rewiring), or a “Gym for the Brain.” Kussin hosts a popular weekly podcast along with NHL Great, Theo Fleury, and Sports Business Insider, Darren Rovell, called: “We’re All A Little ‘Crazy.’”

Objectives:
1. Defining Post-Infectious Syndrome: Understanding its symptoms, diagnosis, and
prevalence.2. Autoimmune Diseases Connection: How post-infectious syndrome can trigger or exacerbate autoimmune
responses.3. Clinical Implications: Strategies for diagnosing and managing these interconnected conditions.
Description: We will explore the emerging scientific and clinical evidence suggesting that post-infectious
syndrome may trigger or exacerbate molecular mechanisms that lead to more chronic issues such as
autoimmune disease. These mechanisms include molecular mimicry, bystander activation, and dysregulation of
our innate anti-inflammatory response hormones.Oxidative Load Friend or Foe? A Key Component for Health and Disease

Objectives:
1. Role of oxidative stress in health and disease
2. Discuss antioxidant pathways and how to improve through lifestyle diet and supplementation
3. Future Directions: A look at ongoing research and potential therapeutic interventions.
Description: In today’s presentation, we will delve into the concept of oxidative load, a crucial factor in
understanding health and disease. Oxidative load refers to the balance between free radicals and the body’s
ability to counteract their harmful effects through antioxidants. This balance is vital, as an excess of free
radicals can lead to oxidative stress, damaging cells, proteins, and DNA, and contributing to the development of
various chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders. We will
explore the mechanisms behind oxidative stress, its sources including environmental factors and lifestyle
choices, and the body’s defense systems. Additionally, we will discuss the role of diet, exercise, and lifestyle
modifications in managing oxidative load to promote better health and prevent disease.Infectious Personality- How Infections Alter Brain Function, Memory, and Mood

Objectives:
1.An understanding of the immune system and impact of infections and documenting findings
2. Pathways involved in mood disorders and how infections can manipulate them
3. The proper tests to run for those with mood disorders.
Description: With mood disorders (anxiety, depression) being a top reason for disability it is important we are
at the forefront of diagnosis and treatment. This 2-hour mandatory course will cover essential documentation,
and coding for treating your patient. Traditional methods, SSRIs, SNRIs, etc. leave much to be desired often with
some heavy negative side effects. These patients are left with very little options from both the natural and
pharmaceutical worlds. The role of infections in the pathogenesis of different mood disorders may hold the key
for those patients who are not responding to previously effective therapy. Some viruses can directly infect the
central nervous system while other microbes can manipulate nervous system function from a distance. Join us
as we explore this topic from a molecular perspective with clinically actionable therapies and protocols. We will
also review these concepts and therapies with real-world patient cases and document them correctly. -
