You can't 10x your impact, influence, or income if you're operating at 50% capacity.

Most midlife professionals (40-60) are laser-focused on wealth-building, business growth, and legacy creation, but they're ignoring the ONE FOUNDATION that makes all of it possible: HEALTH.

Dr. Aletha Chapoliere, BGI chiropractor and founder of a thriving wellness practice in Atlanta, reveals why health optimization isn't "nice to have," it's NON-NEGOTIABLE for midlife success.

In this conversation, we break down:

✅ Why most people have ZERO pain but MASSIVE dysfunction (and don't even know it)

✅ The truth about aging: Bones don't degenerate because of age, they degenerate because of MISALIGNMENT

✅ Why "standard American diet + standard American lifestyle = standard American diseases"

✅ The biggest misconception about chiropractic care (hint: it's not just for injuries)

✅ How Dr. Aletha survived opening a practice in 2017, navigating a severe car accident, COVID shutdowns, and being forced to relocate with 90 days' notice

✅ Why she practiced in a CHURCH BASEMENT for 4 months, and how that tested her purpose

✅ Her vision: A healing retreat center where high-performers can disconnect, detox, and optimize

✅ The advice she'd give her 30-year-old self: "Even if it's scary, do it scared"

✅ Her mantra: "The magic you're not seeing is in the work you're not doing"

🎯 KEY INSIGHT:

"Vitality is an optimal expression of life, being able to do the things you want to do to experience life in a fulfilling way."

If you can't get on the floor and play with your grandkids, ride a horse, walk without pain, or perform at your peak in business, you don't have a wealth problem. You have a HEALTH problem.

And health problems limit your:

→ Energy to pursue big goals

→ Mental clarity to make strategic decisions

→ Physical capacity to show up consistently

→ Longevity to enjoy the wealth you're building

This episode is for you if:

→ You're prioritizing business growth but ignoring body maintenance

→ You think chiropractic care is only for injuries or pain

→ You're in your 40s-60s and noticing energy decline, stiffness, or "age-related" issues

→ You want to feel 40 at 60 (not 60 at 40)

→ You're building wealth but realize you need VITALITY to enjoy it

Jackie Neilson spent 35 years at Merck, rising from bench chemist in a white coat to VP of Primary Care Sales.

Then a near-death experience changed everything.

"Death's door was calling. The next thing you know, I'm in the emergency room."

She survived. But she couldn't reconnect with her purpose at Merck anymore.

The transition from corporate executive to leadership coach wasn't easy. She woke up one morning freaking out: "What was I doing? Why was I not at Merck? Where's my job? How did I give it up?"

But Jackie found something she'd been missing: the overlap of purpose and passion.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

→ How she rose through Merck without a rigid career plan (just a service-oriented mentality)

→ The leadership style that made people feel safe telling the truth in a room full of colleagues

→ The near-death experience that forced her to reevaluate everything

→ The identity crisis after leaving: "For 35 years, I thought the world was Merck"

→ How she found her calling in leadership coaching

→ The difference between coaching for praise vs. coaching for purpose

→ What she'd tell her 30-year-old self about worth, the long game, and collaboration

→ Advice for anyone facing a major transition: Find where purpose and passion overlap

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

KEY TIMESTAMPS:

00:43 – What Jackie does now: Leadership coaching across the spectrum

02:06 – 35 years at Merck: "That's like 50 years elsewhere"

03:16 – No plan, just excellence: How she rose through the ranks

05:55 – VP of Primary Care Sales: The "Oprah effect" leadership style

11:20 – The health crisis: "Death's door was calling"

14:35 – Leaving Merck: "I just could not reconnect with my purpose"

16:50 – The identity crisis: "What was I doing? Why was I not at Merck?"

19:40 – Finding the overlap of purpose and passion

45:48 – Advice for 30-year-old Jackie: Don't let others define your worth

47:28 – Advice for anyone in transition: The opportunities are limitless

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

KEY QUOTES:

"Death's door was calling. The next thing you know, I'm in the emergency room. I survived that. But I just could not reconnect with my purpose there."

"Until one morning, I woke up literally freaking out. What was I doing? Why was I not at Merck? Where's my job? How did I give it up?"

"Find that overlap of purpose and passion. Find that space where you just come alive, where you feel like, this is what I'm called to do."

"Don't let other people define your worth. People's opinions will come and go, some will be good, some will be low, but you gotta understand your fundamental worth."

"For 35 years, I thought the world was Merck. When you lift up your head, opportunities are almost endless."
