DIVING INTO...
Corporate Wellness and Cultural Momentum
Dr. Phil shares how his wife’s former work with Pfizer and AstraZeneca helped them foresee the rising demand for natural healthcare. Years before the pandemic, Big Pharma insiders already anticipated the cultural shift and now, with RFK Jr. in a major HHS role, the opportunity for chiropractic to lead is bigger than ever.
Building an Elite Chiropractic Team
With 28 doctors on staff, Dr. Phil details why RxWellness only hires the top 10% of applicants. His process includes 6-week intensive training, 500+ reps per technique, and monthly evaluations under pressure. Associates aren’t just onboarded, they’re transformed. As he says, "You should be paying me for what I’m going to give you in six weeks."
Protecting the Profession at the Political Level
Dr. Phil unpacks how he grew his state association by 140% through sheer hustle and outreach. He underscores the power of local political involvement, emphasizing that winning votes often come down to a few dozen supporters.
"State-level laws shape your practice far more than national ones," he says. Strategic relationships with future governors and legislators are how we future-proof chiropractic.
Fixing the Chiropractic Education Crisis
Dr. Phil doesn’t hold back on his critique of chiropractic education today. He points to the decline in hands-on experience, passion, and technique wars that once shaped elite chiropractors.
He challenges the profession to return to fundamentals, citing Reggie Gold, Arno Burnier, and Fred Barge as essential voices for any DC looking to reclaim the profession's soul.
CLOSING THOUGHT
If chiropractors are to lead the health revolution, they must train harder, speak louder, and reconnect with the very reasons they got into this profession.
As Dr. Phil reminds us, "You might be the one who gives a life-changing adjustment that defines chiropractic for someone forever. So make it count."
