    87. The Philosophy Fueling Today’s Top Family Practices with Miracles

    On this episode of The Family Practice Podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel shares a live “philosophy night” recording for chiropractic students through Club PX. He teaches the “Perfect Storm” sequence—maternal stress, birth trauma, and resulting nervous system dysregulation—stating autism/ADHD don’t begin in the brain but end there, and healing should prioritize nervous system function, then sleep, motor, gut, respiratory, and immune issues before higher brain changes. He contrasts chiropractic with functional medicine and chiropractic neurologists, criticizes supplement-heavy and expensive programs, stresses certainty, communication, care plans, and tracking progress via scans and parent reports, shares patient stories including his son Oliver’s recovery, and outlines a practice-growth model centered on clinical results, marketing, team-based success, and supportive associate pathways. ------  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:  02:18 Chiro School To Practice 08:04 Certainty Builds Trust 11:50 Culture Shift In Healthcare 20:36 Root Cause Case History 23:08 The Perfect Storm  27:08 Birth Trauma And Sequence 34:08 Maternal Stress And Neurodevelopment 44:23 Functional Medicine’s Missing Layer 47:08 Nervous System Simplified 57:16 Autism Starts In Nervous System 01:08:09 Healing Order Explained 01:10:21 Care Plans and Scan Metrics 01:16:12 Oliver NICU Miracle Story 01:23:13 Practice Growth Framework 01:27:18 Content and Communication Skills 01:31:18 Team Building and Career Paths ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?  Subscribe to our YouTube channel.

    86. Addition by Subtraction: When Long Term Growth Requires a ‘Team’ Break Up

    In this episode, Dr. Matt Hill interviews Dr. Lauren Mansolf of Sprouting Life Chiropractic in Chattanooga, TN about leadership and team culture during practice growth. She describes early warning signs of team misalignment—pushback on schedule changes, eye rolls, negativity, dropped responsibilities, declining KPIs, and staff no longer bringing their kids in for regular care—along with her gut discomfort walking into her own office. She explains how trying to compromise to keep the team together led to hiring a part-time role that became her COO, Brooke, whose buy-in came from personal experience as a patient’s mom. That hire raised expectations and triggered major team turnover, but helped reset hiring, onboarding, training, and communication around clear expectations, core values, vulnerability, and introducing prayer in the office. Dr. Lauren defines success as sustained community impact and patient stories rather than revenue goals, and closes with advice to listen to your gut, stay aligned with purpose, and follow the vision even through difficult seasons. ------  Links & Resources:  FREE PX Training The Proven Path to a Thriving Family PracticeJoin 1,000+ Docs in the PX Membership  Attend a Neuro-Tonal Certification & Adjusting Seminar (20 CEs!) ------  Key Moments:  04:26 Lauren’s Origin Story: From Chronic Illness to Pediatric-Focused Practice 07:52 First Culture Red Flag: Pushback, Eye Rolls, and Resistance to Growth 11:16 Leader’s Dilemma: People-Pleasing, Compromise, and Hiring Help 13:04 Spotting the Real Issue: Vision vs Buy-In (Growth vs Complacency) 16:01 Warning Signs You Miss at First: KPIs Drop, Negativity, and Gut Discomfort 20:41 Stop Doing It ‘Because We Always Have’: Embracing Change in Practice 21:18 Hiring for Vision: The Brooke (COO) Story 22:46 Onboarding & Interviewing Differently: Mission Over Money 26:02 The ‘Launch Point’ Isn’t Easy: Leveling Up Triggers Turnover 26:53 Rebuilding Culture: Training, Prayer, Vulnerability & Clear Expectations 29:00 From Toxic to Thriving: KPIs Up, Meetings Better, Team Engaged 31:54 Advice for Owners: Spot the Soft Signs Before They Turn Toxic 33:27 Support Systems Matter: Masterminds, Mentors, and Trusting Your Gut 34:59 Defining Success: Community Impact Over Revenue Milestones ------  Want more of The Family Practice Podcast?
