    EP 428: Dr. Amy Robinson: From the Ashes | Rebuilding Practice, Home & Voice After Losing It All

    What happens when the place you heal people and the place you raise your family are the exact same building — and you lose both in a single fire? In this episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with Dr. Amy Robinson, one of TCP's most downloaded guests ever, for a raw conversation about rebuilding a home-based practice from literal ashes, why she chose to stay and expand rather than start over somewhere new, and the mantra that carried her through: "who I am as a person precedes who I am as a chiropractor." Amy also opens up about co-founding CNAC (the Canadian National Alliance for Chiropractors), why national representation matters for neurologically-focused practitioners, and what she's seeing in kids' nervous systems post-COVID that has her both worried and hopeful. In this episode, you'll learn: How Dr. Amy lost her home-based practice and her home in the same fire — and the choice she made to rebuild in place instead of walking away The mantra that got her through the hardest years: separating her identity from her role as a chiropractor Why she co-founded CNAC in 2019 and stepped in as the inaugural board chair for six years Why "no press is bad press" when it comes to chiropractic and nervous system regulation going mainstream What she's observing in kids' stress, anxiety, and developmental patterns since COVID — and what actually helps The advice she'd give her younger self standing in the wreckage of that fire Resources Mentioned: CNAC (Canadian National Alliance for Chiropractors): mycnac.ca Our Partners: INSiGHT CLA The gold standard in objective chiropractic assessment technology.

    EP 426: Dr. Larry Arbeitman: The New Patient Obsession Is a Lie - The Practice Model That Actually Works

    What if the biggest mistake chiropractors are making isn't their marketing... It's believing they always need more new patients? In this eye-opening episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with upper cervical chiropractor, entrepreneur, and Care2Grow Consulting founder Dr. Larry Arbeitman to challenge one of the profession's biggest assumptions. After more than two decades in practice—and over 300,000 chiropractic adjustments—Dr. Larry has built a thriving, high-retention practice where patient relationships, compassion, and authentic connection have become the primary drivers of growth. In fact, his practice recently produced a six-figure month with only three new patients. This conversation isn't about marketing hacks. It's about rediscovering the heart of chiropractic. Dr. Larry shares why compassion isn't just good for patients—it's one of the most powerful business strategies a chiropractor can implement. Together, he and Dr. Ed explore patient retention, practice culture, burnout, leadership, upper cervical chiropractic, and why putting care back into healthcare may be the profession's greatest opportunity. In This Episode Why chiropractors are too dependent on new patient marketing The retention model that built a thriving 23-year practice Producing a six-figure month with only three new patients The difference between empathy and compassion Why compassion improves patient retention, referrals, and outcomes How authentic relationships outperform scripts and sales techniques The importance of creating a heart-centered practice culture Lessons from over 300,000 chiropractic adjustments Why upper cervical chiropractic transformed Dr. Larry's life Avoiding burnout through purpose-driven practice The future of healthcare and restoring compassion Building Care2Grow Consulting and a movement to put care back into healthcare About Dr. Larry Arbeitman Dr. Larry Arbeitman is an upper cervical chiropractor practicing in New Jersey with more than 23 years of clinical experience.

    EP 425: Dr. Monique Andrews: Why Patients Stop Care - Dr. Mo Exposes Chiropractic's Communication Problem

    The "Bone Out of Place" Model Is Failing Chiropractors - Dr. Monique Andrews on the Future of Patient Communication What if the biggest challenge facing chiropractic isn't clinical skill... but communication? In this thought-provoking episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with chiropractic educator, researcher, and neuroscience expert Dr. Monique Andrews to explore why many chiropractors are still explaining a nervous system profession through an outdated structural lens. Dr. Andrews challenges long-held assumptions about patient education, certainty, retention, referrals, and the language chiropractors use every day. She explains why today's patients are different, why "because I said so" no longer works, and how neuroscience can help practitioners create deeper understanding, stronger commitment, and better patient outcomes. The conversation also explores: Why chiropractic's communication model may be creating retention problems The difference between certainty through conviction vs. certainty through comprehension How AI and modern technology are changing patient expectations Why patient education must evolve beyond the "bone on nerve" explanation The role of nervous system regulation, adaptation, and resilience The future of chiropractic leadership Research gaps that still need to be explored How communication directly impacts referrals and long-term patient commitment Why curiosity may be more important than certainty The neuroscience behind trust, behavior change, and patient decision-making Whether you're a new graduate or a seasoned practitioner, this episode will challenge how you think about communication, philosophy, and the future of the profession. About Dr. Monique Andrews Dr. Monique Andrews is a chiropractor, former neuroscience researcher, international speaker, educator, and founder of Dr. Mo Knows. She helps chiropractors better understand the neuroscience behind what they do and teaches communication frameworks that improve patient understanding, retention, and outcomes.
