In something of a university meet-cute, Esa Tsoi played an away volleyball game against Life U and quickly became charmed by her scenic, compelling surroundings. She keenly remembers asking a teammate about the prominent sculpture that serves as a key campus landmark, the detailed bronze hands that she later learned were modeled after Life U founder Dr. Sid Williams performing a toggle adjustment. That is when Tsoi learned about Life U’s rich chiropractic history, unearthing a latent curiosity in chiropractic care and holistic healing from career talks she had participated in back in high school.

For many students who are fortunate enough to call themselves a Life University (Life U) Running Eagle, peak athletic performance is paramount to personal and professional success. Life U is honored to support a student-athlete population that accounts for 25% of total enrollment, according to the Fall Quarter 2024 Factbook.. To put that more into perspective, 60% of undergraduate students at Life U are classified as student-athletes. Bottom line, that’s a huge segment of the Life U community that puts their all into participating in both collegiate athletics and academics at a high level.

Farrah Bowman identified with Life U’s philosophy, particularly with Vitalism. The concept of vitalism – essentially meaning that the body is self-healing and self-maintaining as long as interferences are removed – stood out to her as it perfectly articulated her personal understanding of true health care.
