Have you ever met someone who just hits you with their heart as soon as you meet them? The way they speak and how they present themselves just exudes love for what they do, and for what they want to see more of in the world, and you can't help but be really moved by what they have to say? This was my experience with Dr. Larry Arbeitman, and I think you'll catch it too when you listen to this conversation. Larry has built an incredible practice but he was oberving a phenomenon he now calls the "compassion crisis", that more and more people are feeling lack of connection with their health care providers and it's leading to poor results, low trust, and even worse, apathy with many Doctors. Leaning on his experience from 21 years in business, having 18 associates, being married to a therapist, and really, just consistently focusing on making his practice about the patient and not about him, he's developed a deep understanding of fostering greater connection in his practice, and his success shows. You'll hear some of his greatest lessons, how he's recovered from injuries and his own challenges, and why he believes all Doctors need to start their careers with taking care of their own emotional health so they can effectively care for others.

I love it when I'm introduced to new people who effortless connect a lot of pieces that other guests have shared over the years into a single message, and Dr. Steve Tullius has done just that. During our conversation he spoke about refining his professional path over the years, from being an associate to multi-clinic owner to relocating and transitioning his business with expertise in coaching and leading workshops. Steve also speaks about feeling burnout, recovering from perfectionist tendencies, and why he believes Chiropractic is not a career. We wrapped the conversation with his advice to new grads, and some of his best ideas for improving our communication skills and leading others in our message of health and healing. If you're anxious to give talks in your community you'll want to hear how Steve teaches others to overcome their fears and how you can start to maximize workshops for practice growth and personal fulfillment.

The more life I experience both clinically and personally, the more I've become confident that there is so much wisdom for us to observe, and so much information that is constantly being presented to us from a few different sources. We've been trained to understand data, analyze patterns and habits, diagnose, make recommendations and apply knowledge based on the education we've spent years earning as Chiropractors, yet that's not the only source of information being presented to us everyday. In this solo episode I share 3 types of wisdom we have access to, what often stops up from really paying attention to them, and how to allow them to work harmoniously in our lives and practices for better results. You'll also hear a few simple ways to become more aware of their influences, use them to filter decisions, find greater ease, and even maximize our business growth.

My family hasn't relied on pharmaceuticals for close to 30 years, and when our bodies need some additional support for healing I turn to nature first and often use food or herbal remedies for some aid. Deslee Denne is a Master Herbalist and TCM Practitioner who has taught me a lot about how to safely choose, and use, medicinal herbs, and in this feature episode I thought we could all benefit from learning a little more from her to support both our clinical practices and home life. Deslee is knowledgeable, and practical, and as a homeschooling mom of 3, she knows how to keep things simple! You'll hear the basics of what to look for when choosing to purchase herbs for medicinal use, the best ways to cultivate and grow your own, and which herbs are the most useful for everyday health and wellness.

Clear communication within your practice is crucial for compliance, and for your patients to understand how to get better results and what to expect with your care. When done well, good communication also stimulates referrals, and helps your patients grasp so much more about health and healing that can truly change their life. It's a skill that is developed with time and experience, and I've found that when I am consistent with these 2 simple habits I feel better about the care I provide, and that people trust my recommendations and generally feel more confident and comfortable with my practice. I've shared them with coaching clients, and in this short but practical episode, I'm sharing them with you!
