About the Seminar

Join Dr. Dan Murphy, DC, and Dr. Jeremy Schmoe, DC, for an engaging four-hour virtual event exploring the connection between cellular energy, neurological function, pain, and whole-body health. Through a research-based and clinically focused discussion, Dr. Murphy will examine how laser physiology, nutrition, and cellular energy production can support health, performance, and longevity. Dr. Schmoe will connect these foundational principles to the nervous system, sharing practical insights into neurological function, pain patterns, and patient recovery.

Together, they will provide a comprehensive look at how supporting the body at the cellular level may help create a stronger foundation for neurological health and better clinical outcomes.

Attendees Will Explore

  • The relationship between cellular energy and neurological function
  • The physiology behind laser therapy and its influence on cellular processes
  • Nutritional strategies that support energy, wellness, and healthy aging
  • The connection between the nervous system, pain, and patient recovery
  • Research-informed approaches to supporting brain and whole-body health
  • Practical clinical insights that can be incorporated into patient care
