Dr. Todd Osborne ("Dr. Oz") and Dr. Zach Wilson discuss the pros and cons of chiropractors selling nutritional supplements in their practices. Dr. Zach argues that nutrition is an essential component of healing, citing that historical diseases like scurvy and rickets were cured by addressing nutrient deficiencies. They agree that offering supplements is a responsibility, as patients will often seek cheaper, low-quality products elsewhere that may not be effective. Dr. Oz shares his personal experience with chronic Lyme disease, which was not resolved by chiropractic alone and required nutritional supplementation, leading him to integrate it into his practice. They highlight the value of objective testing (blood, gut, saliva) to determine patient needs and the importance of providing high-quality, professional-grade products. Ultimately, they conclude that combining chiropractic adjustments with proper nutrition is a winning combination for patient health and that patients now expect this guidance from their doctors.

S4 E16: Importance of Faith
Dr. Bill Kriva and Dr. Rick Barrows discuss how to cope with life's significant challenges, both personal and professional, by shifting one's perspective to one of gratitude and praise. Dr. Kriva shares his personal story of feeling burned out and despondent while dealing with his parents' dementia, his daughter's severe anxiety, and a demanding chiropractic practice. He credits a conversation with Dr. Barrows and a book called Power and Praise by Merlin Carruthers for changing his life. Dr. Barrows' advice was to praise God not just for the good things, but also for the things perceived as bad, trusting that they are part of a greater plan. Dr. Kriva recounts how he followed this advice, and a prayer of thanksgiving for his daughter's struggles marked a turning point, leading to her recovery. Dr. Barrows shares his own story of dealing with Parkinson's disease, a condition his father also had, and emphasizes that only through praising God for his challenges has he been able to cope and continue to find purpose. They conclude by encouraging listeners to adopt this tool of praise and gratitude to find peace, healing, and hope amidst life's inevitable difficulties.

S4 E15: Massage Therapy
Christie Owen Irwin sits down with Melissa Asher, a massage therapist who operates her own business within a chiropractic practice. Melissa, who started as a chiropractic assistant, explains that she became a massage therapist to work in tandem with chiropractic care, helping to relax fascia and muscles and aid the movement of subluxations that aren't progressing as quickly as desired. She details her business model, which involves paying rent to the chiropractic office, and how her business, which now includes two other therapists, has grown through word-of-mouth and community outreach. The conversation covers key operational aspects such as having front desk staff handle all booking, using cluster booking, and maintaining a strict schedule to ensure a smooth flow of patients. Melissa shares her personal limit of six massages a day to prevent burnout and the importance of setting similar boundaries for her staff. The episode concludes by highlighting how this symbiotic relationship creates a win-win situation, providing a new income stream for the practice, enhancing patient care, and educating massage clients on the benefits of chiropractic.
