Patient Media

Monday Morning Motivation

Since problems are rarely solved with the same level of thinking that created them, it’s vital that you show up healthier, more resourceful and with more clarity than patients who seek your help. This is difficult to do if you’re being seduced by the same cultural hypnosis that they suffer from.

It used to be simply being a chiropractor was enough. As chiropractic has become more mainstream, to remain spicy, salty, influential and a “free thinker,” you’ll want to disengage from the media.

Those who watch television don’t watch. They stare. Very impolite to stare. The fixated eyes and zombie expression are signs of a drug being administered through the eyes. Hijack the mind and the body follows. You see it in the symptom-treating, germ-fearing, disembodied patients who show up in your practice.

Disengage. There’s nothing on. It’s designed to create fear, breed uncertainty and induce a herd mentality that steals your uniqueness.
