    121. You Can Change an ADHD Child's Life Without Diagnosing or Treating a Thing

    Dr. Matt Hill discusses rising ADHD diagnoses (11% of children per 2022 data) and how chiropractors can help families seeking drug-free options while staying philosophically congruent by focusing on the nervous system and staying within your scope of practice. He outlines a “perfect storm” leading to ADHD—prenatal/maternal stress, birth and delivery trauma, and early childhood inflammatory load (medications, antibiotics, food sensitivities) that drives sympathetic dominance, dysautonomia, and inefficient energy use (“dysponesis”). Dr. Matt describes a developmental progression from “raging bull” (sympathetic stuck tension) to “drunken bull” (disorganization/asymmetry) to “exhausted bull” (shutdown/maladaptation), contrasting this with medication-based suppression. He recommends using history and INSiGHT scans to identify a child’s stage, tailor care plan length and frequency, and communicate with parents. ------  Links & Resources:  FREE PX Trainings The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsThe NeuroAGE of Perinatal Chiropractic is HereJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  01:09 Parents Seeking Drug Free Help 05:43 The Perfect Storm Ingredients 09:28 ADHD Stats And Demand 10:03 Nerding Out On Science 10:22 Dysponesis And Energy Budget 14:33 Brainstem To Whole Body Load 18:01 Three Bulls Development Stages 22:31 Why Meds Miss The Mark 24:28 How Kids Climb Back Up 26:40 Training And Certification Break 27:58 Root Cause Framework Recap ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    120. Kids and Families Will Come. You Just Have to Have the Courage to Say It.

    Dr. Allie Wright interviews Dr. Andrea of Somerset Family Chiropractic in rural Somerset, Kentucky, on building a cash-based pediatric and family practice while raising two young daughters. Dr. Andrea shares her path from pharmacy school to chiropractic ownership, hiring her first CA around nine months in, and bringing on associate Dr. Mo about a year in, before she felt ready, because the culture and mission fit were too good to pass up. She talks about the practice's rapid growth, staying grounded amid industry noise, and how PX mentorship has helped families travel up to two and a half hours for care, enough to have her planning a bigger space and more associates. ------  Links & Resources:  Follow Dr. Andrea & Somerset Family Chiropractic HERE FREE PX Trainings The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsThe NeuroAGE of Perinatal Chiropractic is HereJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  2:08 From Pharmacy to Chiro 4:34 Team Makes It Work 10:29 First CA and Culture Fit 13:48 Biggest Month Yet 19:55 Chiropractic Is Enough 23:24 Marketing Rural Families 28:41 Mentorship and Confidence 31:24 Outgrowing the Office ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    119. Stay Connected to Why You Started: Leadership Lessons for Growing Practices

    Dr. Tony Ebel introduces The Family Practice podcast and presents a live, raw recording from a business mastermind hosted by Dr. Josh Axe for health and wellness entrepreneurs. He argues audiences want to feel understood, so leaders must stay closely connected to the people they serve as they scale through associates, teams, and tools like AI and automation. Sharing his path from an Iowa farm kid to building a million-dollar chiropractic practice that plateaued, he explains a breakthrough came from better mentors who revealed the need for real leadership and organizational structure, not more tactics.  ------  Links & Resources:  FREE PX Trainings The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsThe NeuroAGE of Perinatal Chiropractic is HereJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  07:31 Origin Story Farm Kid To Chiro 10:28 Success Trap And Plateau 13:52 Mentorship And Going Far Fast 15:36 Scaling The Business Ecosystem 18:16 Redefining What Winning Means 19:15 Mission Fueled NICU Story 21:40 Multipotentiality And Team Roles 24:38 Who Not How Hiring Lesson 25:22 Business Flywheel Weak Spots 27:36 Big Picture Daily Action 30:46 Staying Connected To Patients 36:24 Avoid Bad Influences 38:52 Who Not How Hiring 42:01 Metrics Dashboards Leadership 44:24 Invest In Mentors Team ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    118. Go All Cash: 9 Steps to a More Profitable, More Impactful Practice

    Dr. Tony Ebel explains why he left insurance to build a subluxation-based, nervous system-focused pediatric, perinatal, and family all-cash practice, and shares the nine-step checklist he used to make the transition: lean into frustration, follow insurance rules while you exit, use congruent language, shift your brand toward pediatrics and perinatal care, increase retention and transition patients to wellness auto-debit plans, drop small insurers first, clearly communicate the benefits of the change to patients, expect some initial patient loss, and run the real profitability math.  He shares his own numbers: losing 50 to 100 patients, overhead dropping about $480,000, collections falling from $1.2M to $800K, and returning to $1.2M within about two and a half years, this time with lower overhead and higher profit. ------  Links & Resources:  PAIN TO PEDIATRIC COURSE FREE PX Trainings The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsThe NeuroAGE of Perinatal Chiropractic is HereJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  1:12 Insurance Burnout Story 14:15 Step One: Frustration Fuel 19:45 Step Three: Congruent Language 21:21 Step Four: Brand Positioning 26:49 Step Five: Retention Leaks 37:13 Step Seven: Clear Exit Plan 44:30 Profitability and Time Gains 47:01 The Exact Financial Math ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    117. The Fourth Trimester: Don't Let the Postpartum Mom Get Overlooked

    In the final episode of the pregnancy series, Dr. Allie Wright discusses postpartum (“fourth trimester”) chiropractic care with a focus on being realistic about each family’s situation and keeping postpartum moms and newborns from being overlooked. She emphasizes acknowledging the mother, monitoring for postpartum anxiety/depression and related HPA-axis stress, and building community referral support (lactation, pelvic floor PT, meal help). ------  Links & Resources:  THE PERINATAL EXPERIENCE COURSE FREE PX Trainings The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsThe NeuroAGE of Perinatal Chiropractic is HereJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  01:08 Fourth Trimester Reality 04:23 Acknowledge The Mom 07:30 Co Regulation Basics 10:30 Scans And Care Plans 13:26 Co Regulation Science 17:05 Postpartum Depression Support 18:28 Physical Healing And Relaxin 22:33 Postpartum Office Systems 28:35 Milk Supply Story ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    116. The Marketing Shift That Actually Gets Ideal Patients Through Your Door

    Dr. Matt Hill interviews Kristina Ebel, co-founder of PX & PWC, on building a scalable, parent-focused marketing system for pediatric and perinatal chiropractic practices. Kristina explains that effective marketing is every patient touchpoint—from social media "window shopping" and branding consistency to the first call, follow-up, in-office environment, and community events—all aimed at building trust and certainty for parents.  They discuss balancing personality-driven content with education, why views matter less than action, and how consistent systems let the whole team carry marketing—not just the doctor. Kristina also outlines the PX Marketing Engine, a tool aligning attract, nurture, wellness, and reactivation content with clinical care. ------  Links & Resources:  LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PX MARKETING ENGINE  FREE PX Trainings The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsThe NeuroAGE of Perinatal Chiropractic is HereJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  02:53 Mom First Marketer Later 05:16 Branding That Matches 08:22 Marketing Is Touchpoints 10:42 Pick Channels Wisely 14:18 Long Form Converts 22:35 Team Lift Marketing 26:05 Content Builds Certainty 35:21 Inside PX Marketing Engine 39:36 Marketing Mindset Advice ----- Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    115. Why Your Adult Patients Need More Than Structural Pain-Based Care

    Dr. Tony Ebel frames this Family Practice Podcast episode as a clinical training on neurologically focused, subluxation-based “neurotonal” chiropractic care for adults, emphasizing lifetime care rather than short-term pain relief, maintenance-only plans, or purely X-ray–driven corrective care. Dr. Tony explains three stages of neurological dysfunction and says most adults present in exhaustion (“wound up but worn out”). He contrasts aggressive structural correction, which can improve X-rays but temporarily worsen HRV/EMG in depleted patients, with a sequenced neurotonal approach using varied forces to release tension, reorganize, and recharge exhaustion so scans, symptoms, and structure improve progressively. ------  Links & Resources:  FREE PX Trainings The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeHow Data-Driven Chiros Are Dominating with Today's ParentsJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  01:58 Adults Need Neurotonal Care 05:06 Three Stages of Dysfunction 06:38 Wound Up But Worn Out 10:33 Corrective Care vs Neurotonal 18:42 Neurotonal Adjusting Sequence 22:34 Care Plans and Patient Wins ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.
