DIVING INTO THE CONVERSATION

Medical Freedom and the Bigger Fight

Dr Paul and James don’t hold back on discussing the importance of protecting freedom of speech and medical choice. Both men have faced censorship and suppression, and Dr Paul makes it clear that chiropractic has a vital role in safeguarding bodily autonomy. “They’re trying to stop us from saving the planet,” he says, only half joking. Because when people wake up to the truth of chiropractic, it threatens the entire sick-care system.

Moments of Impact and a Calling to Serve

Dr Paul recounts his first adjustment at age 13, a wrestling injury turned awakening moment that changed his life. From that day forward, he knew he was called to chiropractic. His story is a reminder that true calling often comes through challenge. And that purpose, when rooted in service, creates unstoppable momentum.

Mindset Subluxations and Coaching for Greatness

Whether you’re new in practice or 30 years deep, Dr Paul believes most chiropractors are blocked by three things: poor mindset, lack of systems, and isolation. His coaching work focuses on helping doctors clear those blocks. “The first subluxation is between the ears,” he says. He doesn’t just coach the business, he coaches the being.

The Truth About Building a Movement

Running Chiro Fest for 16 years has come with a fair share of behind-the-scenes challenges. From chasing late registrants to carrying the financial load to wrangling 20+ speakers, Dr Paul compares it to planning a wedding every year. Still, his “selfish” reason for doing it is clear: he wants his kids’ kids to know what chiropractic truly is. That means defending the sacred, preserving the philosophy, and empowering the next generation.

Closing Thought

“The more you serve in your practice, the more you’re going to receive in your life. Stop stopping and keep serving.”
