How do you grow a successful chiropractic practice without losing the reason you became a chiropractor in the first place? In this episode of Rip It, Dr. Steven Baker sits down with Dr. Paul Reed for a conversation about chiropractic leadership, practice growth, faith, business, mentorship, and staying connected to the principle. Dr. Paul shares lessons from nearly three decades in chiropractic, including growing multiple practices, leading more than 30 employees, mentoring associate doctors, and eventually stepping into the role of CEO instead of being the doctor doing everything himself. At one point, his multi-office model generated more than seven figures in personal annual income. But the conversation goes much deeper than numbers. Dr. Paul explains why chiropractors can lose their certainty when they drift too far from the core principles of the profession, and why staying close to your purpose is essential for long-term success. They also break down morning routines, quiet time, gratitude, team meetings, patient connection, associate compensation, outreach, KPIs, coaching, and how to build a business without allowing the numbers to control you. One of the biggest lessons from the episode is simple: Know your numbers, but never forget that every spine and nervous system represents a person you have been given the opportunity to serve.

What actually makes an immune system strong? In this episode of Rip It, Dr. Steven Baker sits down with chiropractor and immunology researcher Dr. Patrick Flynn for a deep conversation about vaccines, inflammation, immune function, chiropractic philosophy, and the difference between germ theory and terrain theory. Dr. Flynn shares how his own childhood health struggles led him into chiropractic, nutrition, and eventually advanced study in immunology. He explains the difference between innate and adaptive immunity and why understanding how the immune system responds matters when making health decisions.  The conversation also explores vaccine mechanisms, adjuvants, immune responses, autoimmune conditions, mRNA technology, and the importance of avoiding absolute claims when discussing complex science.

What if the problem isn’t your diagnosis, but the system treating it? At just 5 years old, Dr. Bobby Belmonte was fighting for his life. Seizures, unstable blood sugar, and a medical system that had no answers. He followed every recommendation, took the medications, and did everything he was told to do. Nothing worked. Until one question changed everything. What if the issue isn’t the body, but interference within it? In this episode of Rip It, we break down a powerful transformation story.
