INTRODUCING KATE GRESS DC

In this episode of the Chiro Hustle Podcast, James Chester sits down with Dr Kate Gress DC, a chiropractor with 27 years in practice who has quietly built a life rooted in service, independence, and long-term thinking. The conversation moves beyond adjusting tables and into bigger ideas like freedom of speech, medical freedom, community responsibility, and what it really looks like to create options inside and outside of practice.

Dr Gress shares how her understanding of chiropractic evolved after graduation, why communication and education matter more than ever, and how she intentionally diversified into real estate to avoid the golden handcuffs that trap so many chiropractors. This episode matters because it speaks directly to doctors who want freedom, clarity, and sustainability without abandoning their principles.

  • A powerful reminder that most people are not looking for another pill, they are looking for options
  • Why staying active in the community through screenings and conversations still matters after 27 years
  • A defining patient story that reinforces why interference-free nervous systems change lives

DIVING INTO FREEDOM IN PRACTICE AND LIFE

From Compliance to Clarity

Dr Gress opens up about how her real chiropractic education began after graduation. Like many doctors, she realized early on that the system trained her to comply, not to communicate. Over time, she sought out mentors, seminars, and conversations that helped her clarify her message and speak with confidence. That clarity became the foundation for both professional freedom and personal conviction.

Communication as a Form of Freedom

One of the recurring themes in this episode is communication. Not marketing tricks or clever scripts, but honest conversations. Dr Gress explains that if chiropractors cannot clearly explain what they do and why it matters, the public will default to fear and confusion. Communication is not optional. It is the bridge between medical freedom and informed choice.

Why Diversification Is Not Selling Out

A bold and refreshing part of this conversation is Dr Gress’s perspective on real estate investing. She challenges the idea that chiropractors must stay chained to the adjusting table forever. By diversifying into real estate early, she created options for herself and opportunities for others. Not as an escape from chiropractic, but as a way to support it without burnout or desperation.

Boots on the Ground Still Win

Despite decades in practice, Dr Gress still shows up in her community. Screenings, conversations, and face-to-face interactions remain central to her approach. She makes it clear that freedom does not come from hiding behind systems or platforms. It comes from showing up, speaking clearly, and standing for something people can feel.

CLOSING THOUGHT

Freedom does not come from avoiding responsibility. It comes from owning your voice, your message, and your future. This episode is a reminder that chiropractors do not need permission to build lives of purpose, stability, and choice.
