What happens when the doctor becomes the patient?

In Episode 05 of Designed for More, Dr. Jeremy Maass is joined by his wife, Venicia, for their most personal conversation yet.

Before building the approach to healthcare that defines Motus today, Jeremy faced debilitating migraines, chronic pain, digestive issues, and a long road of unanswered questions. Despite seeking help through conventional medicine, chiropractic care, and other treatments, lasting relief seemed out of reach.

And while Jeremy was fighting to get his health back, Venicia was navigating a different side of the journey: learning how to support someone she loved through chronic illness, uncertainty, and the emotional weight of not knowing what the future would hold.

Together, they share:

• The health crisis that changed Jeremy's life during chiropractic school

• How their journey led them toward functional medicine, functional neurology, and nutrition

• The role of dietary changes and an anti-inflammatory lifestyle in Jeremy's recovery

• The often-overlooked emotional challenges of being a spouse and caregiver

• How faith, perseverance, and unanswered prayers shaped their marriage

• Why their personal experiences became the foundation for how they care for patients today

This episode is about more than overcoming pain. It's about finding purpose in the middle of difficult seasons, learning to advocate for your health, and recognizing that sometimes our greatest challenges become the very things that equip us to help others.

Whether you're navigating chronic health challenges yourself or walking alongside someone who is, we hope this conversation reminds you that your story matters.
