A Chiropractor and a Dermatologist Walk Into a Red Light Therapy Bar... | David Lipman, DC, Owner of Physical Evidence Chiropractic
Episode 036 | David Lipman, DC, a seasoned chiropractic physician and owner of Physical Evidence Chiropractic in Boca Raton, FL, has successfully treated thousands of patients. With a deep personal commitment to bio-optimization, Dr. Lipman has achieved extraordinary levels of strength, endurance, and overall health well into his 60s. His mission is to share the knowledge and processes that have profoundly benefited his life, helping others achieve optimal health and wellness.

Dr. Lipman provides his patients with expert diagnosis, non-addictive pain relief, swift corrective care for present conditions, and education in preventative care. His chiropractic practice is a reflection of his personal journey as a patient who experienced significant injuries from a young age and found chiropractic care to be the solution. Combining this with his personal fitness program, Dr. Lipman has gained unique insights into managing musculoskeletal pain both personally and professionally. He offers maintenance solutions to keep his patients pain-free and functional, despite acute or chronic injury.

Dr. Lipman's experiences with pain and his education have given him a unique perspective on patient care. He believes that while most healthcare providers focus on structural damage as the cause of musculoskeletal pain, the real issue often lies in the body's mechanical compensation for that damage. By correcting this dysfunction rather than merely treating the pain, Dr. Lipman helps his patients achieve lasting relief. Over time, he has incorporated cutting-edge therapies and devices, such as Deep Tissue Laser Therapy, Whole Body Vibration, Mechanical Motion Therapy, Whole Body Cryotherapy, and Photo Bio Modulation Therapy, to quickly and safely resolve issues.

Proud to offer progressive therapies not commonly found in other practices, Dr. Lipman is dedicated to providing empathetic, effective, and proactive relief. His philosophy addresses the daily stressors that impact natural weight-bearing and movement mechanics, which often lead to musculoskeletal problems. With experience owning and operating several fitness-club based healthcare practices, Dr. Lipman is committed to helping patients of all ages achieve pain-free and fit lives, enhancing their structural integrity and overall well-being.

Tune in to my conversation with Dr. David Lipman for a far-reaching conversation with a fellow practice owner who has built a great life and a great business by going to bat to help people the best way he knows how. I love learning from practice owners in other fields. It helps me broaden my knowledge and learn new things that can potentially help my own patients.

A Promising Public Health Leadership Journey from Dhulikhel to Baltimore | Niroj Bhandari, MBBS
Episode 034 | I had the good fortune of meeting and befriending the delightful and remarkable Niroj Bhandari, MBBS when he was a Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences medical student doing his clinical training at Dhulikhel Hospital in Dhulikhel, Nepal. Jai Nepal!🇳🇵

That was back in 2018 while I was a dermatology resident at Stanford, but I caught up with him shortly after he received the prestigious Sommer Scholars Program award for his outstanding contributions in public health leadership. When we recorded this interview on August 6, 2024, this scholarship was supporting his pursuit of a Master of Public Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and providing him with enrichment activities to hone his leadership skills, develop his professional network, and engage with today's leaders.

A bit more about my pal Niroj... Dr. Bhandari is the Founder of Drishya Health Care and holds roles as Research Associate and Executive Officer at the Institute for Implementation Science and Health. He also advises Federal Parliament of Nepal Member Biraj Bhakta Shrestha, serves as an executive member of the Authentic Leadership Institute Nepal, and is a consultant to the Ever Forward Club in Hayward, California.

Dr. Bhandari's diverse activities and passions underscore his unwavering commitment to healthcare, research, leadership, and community service. Additionally, he has published over two dozen research papers and is now enthusiastic about studying the transformative impact of politico-economic systems, international relations, technology, academia, business, and organizational structures on global healthcare, particularly in developing regions.

He May Not Be Your First Call for Disability Insurance, But He'll Likely Be Your Last | Larry Keller, CFP
Episode 033 | Larry Keller, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC®, RHU®, LUTCF (oh my!) of Physician Financial Services is a great person to know if you're in the market for disability insurance. If you're a physician and have never even thought about or heard of disability insurance, he's an even better person to know.

There is no shortage of insurance agents and/or financial advisors who work with or want to work with physicians. However, the one thing that cannot be replicated is experience. 

Working with an Insurance Agent familiar with the underwriting of both disability and life insurance policies can potentially minimize any surprises during the process.

Larry spoke at the 2022 Physician Wellness and Financial Literacy Conference (WCICON22) and is a frequent contributor to White Coat Investor.

While he might not be a doctor's first phone call regarding their insurance needs, he is often their last.

Tune in to hear Larry's story and learn about the vital role disability insurance plays in a physician's overall financial health.
