Faces of Life U: Esa Tsoi
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.

Faces of Life U: Cristopher Martinez
As a young boy growing up in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, Cristopher Martinez had a fascination with health and wellness. Most of his adult family members worked in some capacity within the medical field, so naturally, from when he was little, he would tell his mother he wanted to be a doctor. Yet, he has since resonated with what has become something of a cliché among chiropractors; however, clichés do often hold a kernel of truth.
