Being liked is easy.
Being trusted ? That’s what builds a real practice.

In this episode, Martin sits down with Dr Dorte Bladt to unpack why so many chiropractors stop at being liked—and how that holds them back.

They dive into:

• The question that gets parents thinking: “Who’s your child’s chiropractor?”

• How to build trust without sounding pushy or fake.

• Why the real goal isn’t treating conditions—but helping kids grow and thrive.

• And how the Kids Summit has raised over $400,000 to fund groundbreaking research on chiropractic and child development.

A must-listen if you care about the future of chiropractic—and the next generation.

Talking about science can either build your credibility—or blow it up.

In this episode, Martin breaks down how chiropractors should (and shouldn’t) communicate about science, especially on social media.

You’ll learn:

• Why social media is a marathon, not a sprint

• How to use Robert Cialdini’s 3-step framework to build trust

• Why science is the new currency of authority—and how to spend it wisely

• The danger of overselling (and why restraint actually wins more people over)

If you want your community to see you as credible and care about chiropractic, this is essential listening.

Your client’s getting results.
They’re moving better, sleeping better…

They’ve seen 7 different practitioners. No real results.

You’ll learn:

• Why clients drop out before care has a chance to work

• How fear of “looking salesy” leads to underservicing

• The role of structured testing in creating clarity, certainty, and results

• And how to confidently recommend care (without selling it)

A must-listen if you want to help more people — and help people more.

Most workshops are boring.
They’re built for efficiency, not impact.
Designed to tell, not connect.

In this episode, Martin answers a listener’s question: How do you run a regular patient workshop that actually builds connection and helps people see the value of chiropractic care—personally?

You’ll learn:

• Why workshop attendance is dropping (and what to do about it)

• How to flip the format from “what we do” to “what helps them”

• A framework that sparks belief shifts—without sounding like a pitch

• What Netflix can teach you about getting people to show up

If you’re still running “new patient orientations,” this one might sting. But it’ll also inspire.

Every chiropractor wants to grow.
More new people. More bookings. More traction.

So the go-to move?
Run some Facebook ads. Boost an Instagram post. Try Google.

But what if chasing more isn’t the answer?

In this episode, Martin challenges two big myths in chiropractic:

1. That growth comes from always needing new clients.

2. That paid ads are the best (or only) way to get them.

Martin shares a smarter, more sustainable path to practice growth built on retention, connection, and clear communication.

You’ll learn:

• Why paid ads feel like fast food: quick fix, short impact.

• Why retention is the most overlooked growth strategy.

• How your PVA tells you exactly where your focus should be.

• Low-cost, high-trust ways to build your community—without begging the algorithm.

📈 If you’re tired of feeling like you’re always hustling for the next new client, this episode will help you flip the script.

In this episode, Martin and Nimrod dive into the cultural undercurrents shaping the future of health—and what chiropractors need to get before it's too late.

• Wearables are rising.

• AI is thinking faster than you can blink.

• Stress is peaking across the Western world.

Amidst it all, chiropractic stands at a crossroads.

⚡ Go left → Mechanistic, transactional, data-driven “healthcare.”
⚡ Go right → Vitalistic, human-centered, performance-driven care.

What side are you on?
And what happens if you don’t choose?

They cover:

• The coming stratification of society

• AI, nanotech, and the illusion of quick fixes

• Why human touch still matters (and always will)

• The "ontological shock" shaking people's sense of meaning

• How chiropractors can stay relevant without selling out

This is part philosophy, part strategy—and all signal, no noise.

If you’re a chiropractor wondering what the future holds, press play. It’s not just about where healthcare is going. It’s about where you are headed.
