Diving Into…

Mentorship and Longevity in Practice

Dr Goodman’s journey began with a single transformative encounter with chiropractic care, which not only resolved his asthma but also ignited his purpose. Over the decades, mentors guided him toward cutting-edge techniques and instilled a commitment to helping others at the highest level. His story underscores the value of finding and becoming a mentor in a profession where wisdom compounds over time.

The Financial Landscape for New Chiropractors

One of the most pressing topics in the conversation is student debt. In contrast to his era when a chiropractic degree cost under $10,000 today’s graduates often face hundreds of thousands in loans. Dr Goodman shares why this debt load shapes practice decisions, often pushing new doctors toward associate positions instead of building their own practices. His advice: resist the urge to over-borrow and be strategic from day one.

Coaching Beyond the Adjustment

While many chiropractors measure their work by the adjustments they deliver, Dr Goodman focuses on the subluxations that can’t be seen on X-rays belief systems, emotional blocks, and spiritual disconnections. Using NET, he helps clients identify and release patterns that keep them stuck, opening the door for greater health, happiness, and professional success.

Sobriety, Clarity, and Contribution

Both Dr Goodman and James Chester share their personal journeys of sobriety, and how removing this one toxin has created space for clarity, purpose, and contribution. Their conversation serves as both an encouragement and a challenge for chiropractors to look at the role substances play in their own performance and fulfillment.

The Future of Chiropractic in a Free Society

From breaking down walls between professions to harnessing objective measures like heart rate variability and thermography, Dr Goodman is optimistic about chiropractic’s future. Yet he is clear: protecting freedom of speech and medical freedom remains essential. Without it, both practitioners and patients risk losing the ability to choose the care that aligns with their values.

 

Final Takeaway

Whether adjusting the spine or adjusting the mind, Dr Larry Goodman is proof that the chiropractic principle of removing interference applies to every level of life. His decades of experience, personal transformation, and unwavering advocacy make this a conversation you won’t want to miss.
