What if trying too hard to be liked is actually getting in the way of helping more people? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dan Bai, CEO and founder of Close for Chiro, for a bold conversation about sales, communication, authenticity, authority, leadership, and what it really takes to help more patients say yes to care. Dan has spent more than two decades in chiropractic and built Close for Chiro specifically around sales training for the chiropractic profession. He shares why the company's provocative name was intentional and why he believes chiropractors need to rethink what "sales" actually means. Dan Bai Ed and Dan dive into one of the biggest challenges many chiropractors face: wanting patients to like them so badly that they're afraid to communicate with certainty. Dan explains why being liked is different from being respected, and why authority and trust are essential if a patient is going to follow your recommendations. Dan Bai The conversation also explores why sales shouldn't be viewed as a transaction. Dan argues that the initial interaction is the first domino in creating transformation, because if patients don't accept the care they need, they never get the opportunity to experience the results. Dan Bai They also discuss Close for Chiro's approach to training, why implementation matters more than simply consuming information, and how accountability and early wins help chiropractors actually put what they learn into practice. Dan Bai Dan and Ed also get into professional unity, handling criticism, mentorship, AI, and the importance of continuing to improve your communication and business skills. In this episode: Why chiropractors shouldn't focus on being liked The difference between being liked and being respected Why authority and certainty matter in patient communication Why many chiropractors struggle with sales Why the word "sales" triggers so many chiropractors Why Dan intentionally chose the name Close for Chiro How authenticity can make your communication more effective Why authenticity doesn't mean sharing everything publicly Learning from criticism instead of taking it personally Why no successful person truly does everything alone How patients can become some of your greatest teachers Who the ideal Close for Chiro client is Why chiropractors in the 10–15 year range may benefit most from sales training Why newer chiropractors sometimes believe they can simply wing it The importance of following a proven system before modifying it Why implementation matters more than consuming information How Close for Chiro creates early wins for its students Why accountability is critical for online education How chiropractors can improve their patient communication skills Why attracting new patients isn't enough if they don't accept care The connection between patient conversion and patient outcomes Why sales can be part of service rather than a transaction Why chiropractors need to stop competing over philosophy and technique The importance of professional unity and collaboration How Close for Chiro adapted its training before the COVID pandemic Why guided online education can outperform a "set it and forget it" model Using AI to practice handling patient objections How AI could change sales training and communication Dan's experience overcoming major professional challenges Why persistence matters when building a business The value of learning from mentors, patients, and experience Books Dan recommends for improving sales and communication Why giving away valuable content can be part of a larger marketing strategy The difference between "hunting" for clients and "farming" through content Why chiropractors need both a relationship-building engine and a direct sales process Dan's core message is simple: Being liked isn't enough. If you want to help more people, you need the confidence and communication skills to earn their trust, establish authority, and guide them toward the care you believe they need.

What if treating scoliosis isn't just about treating the curve? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Clayton Stitzel, a chiropractor and scoliosis specialist, for a deep conversation about scoliosis, genetics, neurotransmitters, hormones, rehabilitation, chiropractic care, and the future of personalized scoliosis treatment. Dr. Clayton has a biomechanics degree from Penn State University and graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport approximately 24 years ago. His interest in scoliosis began as a personal mission and eventually developed into a dedicated focus on understanding and treating the condition. 441 - Dr. Clayton Stitzel Trans… Clayton explains why he believes scoliosis needs to be understood as more than a spinal curvature visible on an X-ray. His approach looks at genetic predisposition, neurotransmitter patterns, hormone factors, and other variables that may help identify which patients are more likely to experience curve progression. 441 - Dr. Clayton Stitzel Trans… Ed and Clayton discuss why imaging alone may not tell the complete story. Two patients with the same Cobb angle can have very different progression risks, which is why Clayton has focused on combining imaging with genetic, hormone, and neurotransmitter information to personalize care. 441 - Dr. Clayton Stitzel Trans… The conversation also explores Clayton's scoliosis-specific treatment model, including rehabilitation, chiropractic adjustments, home exercises, genetic testing, and the ScoliSmart Activity Suit. Clayton also shares why he believes the future of scoliosis care will involve even more data, genetic testing, and AI—and why chiropractors have an opportunity to become an earlier point of care for families dealing with scoliosis. 441 - Dr. Clayton Stitzel Trans… In this episode: Why scoliosis is more complicated than a curve on an X-ray The problem with defining scoliosis only by degrees of curvature Why two patients with the same Cobb angle may have different progression risks The genetic factors Clayton has identified in scoliosis The role of neurotransmitters and hormones in curve progression Why personalized scoliosis care matters How genetic variant testing is being used in scoliosis evaluation How genetics and environmental factors can interact Why imaging alone isn't predictive of progression Moving from a reactive approach to a proactive approach Why Clayton transitioned into a scoliosis-only practice How chiropractors can recognize and support scoliosis patients When a chiropractor may want to refer a progressive case Clayton's five-day and 10-day scoliosis boot camp models The role of chiropractic adjustments in rehabilitation Why creating a new posture memory requires continued rehabilitation How post-treatment X-rays are used to evaluate training effects Why treatment needs to be personalized for each patient The importance of learning from failure and challenging existing assumptions Why scoliosis care needs better ideas, not simply better versions of existing approaches How AI could change genetic analysis and scoliosis care The potential of large genetic datasets to identify progression patterns The future of genetic screening for children with scoliosis Why chiropractors could become an early point of care for scoliosis The ScoliSmart Activity Suit and how it is designed to support spinal derotation The importance of helping patients develop better movement and posture patterns The role of ongoing rehabilitation after an intensive program Why chiropractors need to keep learning and expanding their knowledge Clayton's advice for young chiropractors The importance of treating the person rather than simply treating the X-ray Why persistence and the willingness to fail are critical to innovation Clayton's core message is simple: Scoliosis is more than a curve. The more we understand the individual patient, the better we can personalize the care and identify who needs more support. CONNECT WITH DR.

What if being a great chiropractor isn't enough to build the practice you want? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Chris Cameron, a chiropractor with 25 years of practice experience, for a conversation about communication, marketing, social media, AI, authority, and what it really takes to build a thriving chiropractic practice. 440 - Dr. Chris Cameron Chris practices in a small town of approximately 5,000 people and has transformed his originally general family practice into a highly specific niche-based practice. 440 - Dr. Chris Cameron Chris shares one of the biggest lessons from his career: people have to know you, like you, and trust you before they will ever give you the opportunity to help them. After years of believing that simply being a great chiropractor would naturally bring people through the door, he realized that his community didn't know him nearly as well as he thought they did. 440 - Dr. Chris Cameron That realization led Chris to become highly active in content creation. Today, he maintains a consistent presence across social media, YouTube, and podcasting, using content to communicate with people outside the walls of his practice. 440 - Dr. Chris Cameron Ed and Chris also discuss why authenticity beats perfection, why chiropractors shouldn't create content simply to chase views, and how authority-based content can attract better-quality patients. Chris explains how he learned to stop worrying about looking perfect on camera and simply focus on consistently putting valuable information in front of people. 440 - Dr. Chris Cameron The conversation then moves into the rapidly changing world of AI. They explore how AI is changing content creation, why chiropractors need to start using AI rather than resisting it, and how an AI receptionist has helped Chris's office respond to potential new patients while freeing his team to spend more time actually connecting with people. 440 - Dr. Chris Cameron In this episode: Why being a great chiropractor isn't enough to build a thriving practice The importance of being known, liked, and trusted in your community Chris's experience practicing in a small town Why reputation can make or break a rural practice How Chris transformed his general family practice into a niche-based practice The wake-up call that made Chris realize his community didn't know him Why social media became a powerful communication tool for his practice How to create content without waiting for perfection Why C+ is sometimes all you need The importance of consistency when creating content Why most people quit before they get good at content creation The difference between influence-based content and authority-based content Why sensational content may attract the wrong patients Creating content around the problems people actually experience How AI is changing the way people discover businesses and healthcare providers Why chiropractors should embrace AI rather than resist it The difference between an AI bot and an AI agent How an AI receptionist can help capture potential new patients Why missed calls can mean missed patients How AI can free your team to spend more time building relationships Using AI to create content faster Building an "office brain" with your practice's knowledge and protocols Using AI to generate social media content from your existing expertise How Chris batches short-form videos Using YouTube to build authority and trust before patients visit Why chiropractors should focus on communication and marketing alongside clinical skills The lesson Chris learned from believing "build it and they will come" Why marketing and communication deserve more attention early in a chiropractic career The importance of ongoing education and mentorship How patient education can improve conversions The role of niche-based services such as spinal decompression and shockwave Why the main thing still needs to remain the main thing The importance of collaboration within the chiropractic profession Why chiropractors should become more involved in their communities and profession How AI could change chiropractic over the next several years Chris's core message is simple: You can be an incredible chiropractor, but people can't benefit from your expertise if they don't know who you are, trust you, and understand how you can help them.

CHRIS CAMERON Cameron Chiropractic https://cameronchiro.com Chris has been practicing for 25 years and has evolved his practice from a general family practice into a more specific niche-based practice. 440 - Dr. Chris Cameron RESOURCES MENTIONED Close for Chiro Chris discusses Close for Chiro as a resource focused on helping chiropractors communicate the value of care and guide patients through their first visit. 440 - Dr. Chris Cameron Website: [Insert link if available] Specialized Practice Chris also discusses Specialized Practice with Vince Leone, particularly around niche services such as spinal decompression, knee decompression, and laser/shockwave therapy. 440 - Dr. Chris Cameron AI Tools Discussed ChatGPT https://chatgpt.com Claude https://claude.ai Google Gemini https://gemini.google.com Perplexity https://www.perplexity.ai BigVu Chris mentions using BigVu as a teleprompter to make recording short-form videos easier and faster. 440 - Dr. Chris Cameron CONNECT WITH TCP Website: https://www.chiropracticphilanthropist.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-chiropractic-philanthropist-with-dr-ed-osburn/id911516462 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/164LfnNvQ3dlaL7nhlkfvr OUR VALUED SPONSORS — THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING TCP INSiGHT CLA INSiGHT CLA delivers neurological scanning technology that helps chiropractors objectively assess nervous system function, communicate findings with patients, demonstrate measurable outcomes, and track progress over time. https://insightcla.com VidConcierge by Valtoria Media Video matters more than ever—but creating consistent, professional content can become another full-time job.

What if the way people find their next chiropractor is changing faster than most practices realize? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Josh Handt, a chiropractor with 20 years of practice experience in Manhattan, for a wide-ranging conversation about AI, search, content, new-patient acquisition, practice growth, and the future of chiropractic. EP 439 Dr. Josh Handt Josh shares how his practice has adapted its website and content strategy around the way people are now searching for healthcare. Instead of relying only on traditional Google search, the practice is creating content around the actual questions people ask and making that content accessible to both traditional search engines and AI platforms. EP 439 Dr. Josh Handt Ed and Josh discuss why chiropractors need to think beyond traditional SEO and start considering AI search and answer engine optimization (AEO). They explore how patients are increasingly asking tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude who can help them with a specific problem in their area. EP 439 Dr. Josh Handt The conversation also gets into content creation, AI-generated media, social media strategy, decompression, practice expansion, professional collaboration, and why chiropractors need to embrace useful technology rather than resist it. Josh shares how he uses AI tools to research questions, create SEO/AEO-focused content, produce videos, and build a series-based social strategy that encourages people to keep coming back for the next piece of content. EP 439 Dr. Josh Handt EP 439 Dr. Josh Handt IN THIS EPISODE: How AI is changing the way patients search for chiropractors Why traditional SEO alone may no longer be enough The difference between SEO and AEO Why chiropractors need to answer the questions their potential patients are already asking How Josh rebuilt his practice website around search intent Using blog posts and short-form videos together Why patients can begin building a relationship with your practice before their first visit How an AI assistant on your website can help answer patient questions Why the quality of leads matters more than simply generating more leads Why social advertising hasn't always produced the same results for Josh's practice How content can attract people who are actively searching for a solution Why chiropractors need to be known for something How AI platforms may influence which healthcare providers people discover Why resisting technology could create a visibility problem for chiropractic How AI can help chiropractors create content without doing everything manually Using ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and other AI tools How Josh uses AI to research content ideas and create SEO/AEO-focused articles Using video alongside written content Why series-based social content can increase followers and engagement How decompression became another tool in Josh's practice Why supporting technologies don't necessarily have to replace the core chiropractic approach The importance of keeping the main thing the main thing Why professional collaboration matters The role of chiropractors in getting involved at the local level Why students need more opportunities to connect with successful chiropractors How live events create connections that virtual events can't completely replicate Why attention is the starting point for generating leads and new patients Josh's core message is simple: People can't choose your practice if they can't find you.

What if giving people more information isn't enough to help them take the next step? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Steve Tullius, a chiropractor, educator, workshop strategist, and advocate for helping chiropractors communicate their message to more people. Steve has been in practice for 24 years and has spent the last decade focused on helping chiropractors create demand for chiropractic through communication strategies and workshops. He also serves as chairman of the board of Sherman College and is involved in several professional initiatives focused on advancing chiropractic. 437 Steve Tellius-1 Ed and Steve unpack why many chiropractors can give an incredible presentation, provide valuable information, and still struggle to get people to take the next step. The difference, Steve explains, is between logical certainty and emotional certainty. People need information, but they also need to see a clear picture of the transformation they could experience and understand what taking the next step actually looks like. 437 Steve Tellius-1 The conversation also explores workshops, public speaking, practice growth, burnout, leadership, communication, and why chiropractors need to find ways to share their message without sacrificing themselves in the process. Steve shares how workshops became the foundation of his own practice and eventually grew into a system that has helped doctors deliver more than 10,000 workshops. 437 Steve Tellius-1 In this episode: Why information alone doesn't necessarily create action The difference between logical certainty and emotional certainty Why people need transformation, not just information How workshops can become a consistent practice-growth strategy Why public speaking can help chiropractors develop communication and leadership skills How Steve built a workshop system that generated consistent new-patient opportunities Why the biggest challenge isn't always getting people into the room How to move people from attending a workshop to taking the next step Why transparency around the care process matters How clearly communicating what happens after the initial exam can reduce uncertainty Why chiropractors need to communicate their message with conviction The connection between confidence, experience, and practice growth Why chiropractors can burn themselves out by sacrificing too much of their personal lives How Steve learned to create more space for himself and his family Why finding common ground can help move the profession forward The importance of collaboration without compromising core principles How workshops can help doctors become better communicators and leaders Why chiropractors should focus on the populations they are best equipped to serve Steve's advice for chiropractors struggling with confidence The importance of recognizing and challenging limiting beliefs Steve's core message is simple: People don't just need more information. They need to understand the transformation, believe in the possibility, and know what the next step looks like. CONNECT WITH DR.

What if some of the biggest challenges facing patients require chiropractors to look beyond the adjustment room? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Patrick Garrett, a chiropractor and practitioner focused on functional and lifestyle medicine, for a wide-ranging conversation about chronic conditions, nutrition, lifestyle, patient education, and how chiropractors can expand the way they think about patient care.

What if burnout isn't always about working too hard...but spending your energy on the wrong things? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Susan Mitchell, a chiropractor with nearly 30 years in practice and approximately 20 years of experience coaching chiropractors, for a conversation about passion, purpose, burnout, communication, leadership, and building a chiropractic practice that actually fuels you. Dr. Susan shares why she believes chiropractors can create successful, fulfilling practices when they become intentional about who they serve, what they are passionate about, and where they put their energy. Ed and Susan unpack why so many chiropractors feel burned out, why simply pushing harder isn't always the answer, and how identifying what is no longer serving you can help create more freedom and fulfillment. They also explore the importance of knowing your ideal patient, communicating with authenticity instead of relying on scripts, developing yourself alongside your practice, and creating exponential impact by helping other chiropractors succeed. Susan also discusses her approach to coaching and why she focuses on "more impact, more freedom, more you" rather than encouraging chiropractors to chase endless business opportunities. In this episode: Why working harder isn't always the solution to burnout How passion can fuel your practice instead of exhausting you Why chiropractors need to identify their ideal patients The importance of being intentional about who you serve How to recognize when people, habits, or situations are no longer a fit Susan's concept of "weeding your garden" Why self-awareness matters when you're feeling burned out The power of asking yourself, "What is actually true?" Why communication matters more than memorizing scripts Why chiropractors should tell the whole truth instead of trying to please everyone The connection between personal growth and practice growth Why building a chiropractic business doesn't have to mean adding more and more services Susan's philosophy of more impact, more freedom, more you How group coaching can create exponential impact Why chiropractors can learn from one another inside a group environment The importance of purpose and passion for the future of chiropractic Why younger chiropractors need mentorship and support How to take action when you feel that something needs to change The importance of surrounding yourself with the right people Susan's advice to her younger self about finding your people and focusing your energy Susan's message is simple: You don't have to be everything to everyone. Find your people, know your purpose, and put your energy where you can make the greatest impact. CONNECT WITH DR.

What if the biggest obstacle to growing your chiropractic practice isn't a lack of opportunity...but a lack of action? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Paul Reed, chiropractor, mentor, entrepreneur, and practice growth expert, for a conversation about why chiropractors must get back into their communities to create more opportunities to serve. Dr. Paul has spent decades building successful chiropractic practices, opening multiple clinics, mentoring doctors, and developing systems that help chiropractors grow their impact. Ed and Paul unpack why many chiropractors struggle with new patient acquisition and why relying only on social media, Google, or digital marketing may not be enough. Instead, they explore why the fundamentals of relationship building still matter: getting out into the community, creating conversations, building referral opportunities, and developing multiple marketing pillars that consistently bring new people into a practice. Dr. Paul shares why chiropractors need to shift their mindset from "I need patients" to "people need what I provide" and how confidence, certainty, and a mission-driven approach can change the way doctors approach practice growth. They also dive into leadership, team culture, scaling, and how chiropractors can build practices that create freedom instead of becoming another source of burnout. In this episode: Why many chiropractors struggle with consistent new patient acquisition Why relying only on social media and Google can limit practice growth The importance of creating multiple marketing pillars Why referrals don't happen automatically and how to create referral systems How community screenings, events, and speaking opportunities create connections Why chiropractors need to get outside their four walls The mindset shift from acquiring patients to serving people Building confidence through more conversations Why planning your marketing calendar matters Creating a strong team culture inside your practice The role of leadership and communication in practice growth Why KPIs alone are not enough to motivate a team Scaling from one practice to multiple locations Creating freedom through systems, leverage, and assets The importance of building something valuable before exiting practice Dr. Paul's message is simple: Growth comes from taking action. If you want more people to experience chiropractic, you have to create more opportunities to reach them. CONNECT WITH DR.

What if the real value of a podcast has almost nothing to do with how many people listen? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Tim Holloway, podcast strategist, relationship builder, and founder of 10X Podcasting, for a conversation about why podcasting may be more relevant for chiropractors today than ever before. Tim has spent approximately eight years in podcasting and teaches business owners to use the medium not simply to publish content, but to build relationships, expand their networks, generate opportunities, and create genuine influence. Ed and Tim unpack why chiropractors may be looking at podcasting completely wrong. Instead of obsessing over downloads, they explore how a podcast can get you into conversations with referral partners, experts, community leaders, potential clients, and people you otherwise might never have access to. Tim describes podcasting as a content machine, connection machine, and collaboration machine—all of which can ultimately lead to new business opportunities. They also dive into the rapidly changing relationship between podcasting, video, social media and AI. Ed shares what he has observed while auditing the online authority of healthcare practitioners: doctors with established podcasts repeatedly demonstrated stronger online trust signals. The conversation explores why consistently publishing long-form content across Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and social platforms can create a growing digital footprint around your name and brand. In this episode: Why downloads may be one of the least important measures of podcast success How interviewing the right people can create referral relationships Why chiropractors should think of Apple Podcasts and Spotify as search engines Podcasting as an authority and trust-building platform Why Tim recommends video alongside audio Turning one podcast episode into an entire week of content with AI How frequently a new podcaster should publish Why consistency matters more than perfection Using your podcast to connect with your ideal audience The coming impact of AI on podcast production Why authenticity may become even more valuable as AI-generated content grows Tim's "push and pull" philosophy for personal growth Tim's philosophy is simple: the podcast itself is only part of the strategy. The relationships created around it are where much of the value lives.

This is a deeply personal and clinically powerful conversation. Dr. Delgado shares how a Graves' disease diagnosis three months into his first associate position sent him into a year of forced simplicity — and how that experience became the foundation for an entirely new philosophy of care built around one powerful idea: treat the body like a plant, not a car. From nervous system scans and torque release to AI referrals, website conversion, and the future of the chiropractic profession — this episode covers ground that every chiropractor needs to hear.

This is a raw, honest, and deeply practical conversation about what it actually takes to rebuild your life from the inside out.

In this powerful episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Mark Romano — a 33-year chiropractor, teacher, and philosophical powerhouse practicing the Non-Therapeutic Chiropractic (NTC) model across three offices in Mississippi. Dr. Romano brings rare clarity and conviction to the big idea of chiropractic — from his early days at Palmer College and his relationship with Reggie Gold, Joe Strauss, and Claude Lassard, to building thriving practices entirely without third-party pay. This is a conversation about philosophy, certainty, precision of language, and what it truly means to be congruent with the 33 principles of chiropractic. What You'll Hear In This Episode: — How a line in a book by Franco Columbu set Dr. Romano on his path to chiropractic at age 13 — His relationship with Reggie Gold, Joe Strauss, and the evolution of NTC philosophy — Why "if you're not congruent with the 33 principles, you're simply practicing something else" — The difference between the therapeutic and non-therapeutic chiropractic models — Why precision of language matters more now than ever before — How ChatGPT is changing the consultation before patients even walk in the door — Why vertebral subluxation — not just subluxation — is the accurate term — Building three successful NTC practices with no contracts and no third-party pay — What Dr. Romano would tell his younger self after 33 years in practice — The recommended reading roadmap for chiropractors serious about philosophy Resources & Links Mentioned: - NTSC Institute (Non-Therapeutic Straight Chiropractic Institute): https://ntscinstitute.com - Why Chiropractic? by Dr. Mark Romano — available at ntscinstitute.com - Claude Lassard's Blue Books — search ntscinstitute.com for details - Joe Strauss — Refined by Fire, Chiropractic Philosophy, Toward a Better Understanding of Chiropractic Philosophy - RW Stephenson — Chiropractic Textbook (Volume 14) - The Bigness of the Fellow Within by BJ Palmer - The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson - Atomic Habits by James Clear Connect With Dr. Mark Romano: - Website: https://ntscinstitute.com - Online Learning: NTC Institute — $89/month Connect With TCP: - Website: https://www.chiropracticphilanthropist.com - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-chiropractic-philanthropist-with-dr-ed-osburn/id911516462 - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/164LfnNvQ3dIaL7nhIkfvr Our Valued Sponsors — Thank You For Supporting TCP: INSiGHT CLA — Advanced chiropractic assessment technology.

What if the greatest threat to your practice isn't poor marketing—but ignoring your own health? As chiropractors, we're taught to serve others first. We obsess over patient outcomes, business growth, and changing lives. But what happens when the doctor begins to break down? In this powerful episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist, Dr. Ed Osburn welcomes Dr. Sabrina Gya—chiropractor, functional health practitioner, entrepreneur, and founder of The Elevated CEO—for an honest conversation about burnout, leadership, longevity, and what it really takes to build a successful practice without sacrificing yourself in the process. After more than 25 years in high-volume chiropractic practice, Dr. Gya shares the deeply personal experiences that transformed her approach to health, business, and life. Together, they explore why so many chiropractors ignore the warning signs, how chronic stress silently erodes performance, and why protecting your own health may be the greatest investment you'll ever make. If you're committed to serving your patients at the highest level while creating a practice—and a life—you truly love, this episode is for you. In This Episode Why so many chiropractors unknowingly sacrifice their own health while serving others The hidden warning signs of burnout every practice owner should recognize Dr. Gya's transition from a high-volume chiropractic practice to a thriving virtual functional health practice Why "pushing through" isn't a sustainable leadership strategy The importance of objective health testing instead of simply treating symptoms How chronic stress impacts hormones, energy, brain function, and long-term performance Why identity, vision, and personal alignment are just as important as business systems How your health metrics often mirror your business performance The philosophy behind The Elevated CEO coaching program Why contribution, purpose, and legacy create lasting success Resources Mentioned Dr. Sabrina Gya 🌐 Joyful Life Functional Health https://joyfullifefunctionalhealth.com 🌐 Dr. Sabrina Gya (Coming Soon) https://drsabrinagya.com Recommended Book The Everyday Hero Manifesto by Robin Sharma Connect with Dr. Ed Osburn 🌐 Website https://www.thechiropracticphilanthropist.com Facebook https://www.facebook.com/chiropracticphilanthropist Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dr.edosburn LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/dredosburn Our Platinum Partners The Chiropractic Philanthropist is proud to partner with organizations committed to helping chiropractors build extraordinary practices—and extraordinary lives.

What happens when the place you heal people and the place you raise your family are the exact same building — and you lose both in a single fire? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Amy Robinson, one of TCP's most downloaded guests ever, for a raw conversation about rebuilding a home-based practice from literal ashes, why she chose to stay and expand rather than start over somewhere new, and the mantra that carried her through: "who I am as a person precedes who I am as a chiropractor." Amy also opens up about co-founding CNAC (the Canadian National Alliance for Chiropractors), why national representation matters for neurologically-focused practitioners, and what she's seeing in kids' nervous systems post-COVID that has her both worried and hopeful. In this episode, you'll learn: How Dr. Amy lost her home-based practice and her home in the same fire — and the choice she made to rebuild in place instead of walking away The mantra that got her through the hardest years: separating her identity from her role as a chiropractor Why she co-founded CNAC in 2019 and stepped in as the inaugural board chair for six years Why "no press is bad press" when it comes to chiropractic and nervous system regulation going mainstream What she's observing in kids' stress, anxiety, and developmental patterns since COVID — and what actually helps The advice she'd give her younger self standing in the wreckage of that fire Resources Mentioned: CNAC (Canadian National Alliance for Chiropractors): mycnac.ca Our Partners: INSiGHT CLA The gold standard in objective chiropractic assessment technology.
