Episode 466: Less Is More Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

It's not about how much you do, but how little you actually need to do to create positive change. "A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step." Sometimes we confuse quantity for quality. Does "super-sizing" mean better quality, or more of what is not good to begin with? Do less not more, especially when working with neurodivergent kids.

Episode 465: Lessons from a 12 year old Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

A 12 year old patient recently told me of an assignment from their literature class: find a poem and tell us what it means. This pre-teen choose the poem: "Mutterings over the crib of a child" by James Wright from the 1950's. It is about a parent taking care of a neurodivergent, special needs child, and how they will love them no matter what.

Episode 464: The 2 most powerful forces Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

The 2 most powerful forces on the planet are the power of one cell and the power of water. Both powers have 'infinite patience' and incredible discipline and can take over whatever they want, given the right amount of time. These small subtle forces are the key to building a successful pediatric chiropractic practice.

Episode 463: Autism, Milestones & Chiropractic Jun 28, 2022

Show notes

2022 has been an interesting year in research. An article showing that Autism might be seen in fetal brain MRI's 3 months before they are born...differences in the size of the insula, amygala and hippocampus were noted in their scans. And the massively important study from the AAP regarding changing developmental milestones. Both articles show how much we pediatric chiropractors are needed now more than ever to help the kids!

Episode 462: "Until that time, we have work to do." Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

Lech Walesa, former president of Poland and Nobel Peace Prize winner, said that someday there will come a time when children will be able to sing a different song, but "until that time, we have work to do." We truly have work to do. With everything that is going on in the world, my mission is to serve the kids. Because until they ALL can sing a more positive song, our work is not done...

Episode 461: What does legacy mean to you? Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

Not everybody can be like a Dr. Sid Williams and leave behind a chiropractic school and a philosophy behind them. So how do you and I leave a legacy? One person at a time! Every person you meet, whether they are your practice members, the staff at your local restaurant or Kroger, or even people you pass by on the street or in the hallway...what sort of interaction do you have with them? That 1 smile you give them might be the only smile they get all day long! Leave a legacy, 1 person at a time!

Episode 460: ADHD Research & Current Events Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

Headline: "Medication doesn't help kids with ADHD learn"! Important research showing that ADHD meds do NOT have the benefit everybody thought they did. These meds do help attention but does NOT impact classroom learning. Certain ADHD meds also have a black box warning of potential dependence and possible increase in aggressive behaviors. Hmm...

Episode 459: Milestones & TikTok May 31, 2022

Show notes

How are the 2022 changes in developmental milestones and TikTok related? In the normalizing of pathology! It's now ok if kids don't walk or talk until later and don't crawl at all. On TikTok, kids with certain conditions are developing tremendous followings, and other kids are imitating them, creating what is known as a mass sociogenic illness.

Episode 458: Extra something May 24, 2022

Show notes

What is your 'extra something'? BJ Palmer coined the phrase, 'the adjustment with that extra something', but I think this applies to more than just the adjustment. It is the ultimate Life Lesson: how can your life be expressed with that 'extra something'?

Episode 457: What side are you on? May 17, 2022

Show notes

Do you have a very clear idea of what side you are on? Our practice members know when they come to our office that they are getting something different and unique and not cookie-cutter like everybody else. Our office looks different, our paperwork is different, our talk is different, the chiropractic adjustments we deliver are different. Be disruptive!
