What if the greatest shift you could make in your practice wasn't learning a new technique... but changing the way you think about health itself? In this episode, Dr. Fred explores the foundational philosophy that has guided his decades in chiropractic: health isn't something that's given to us, it's something the body is designed to express when interference is removed. From innate intelligence and nervous system function to the importance of vision, mission, and purpose, he challenges chiropractors to move beyond symptom-focused care and return to the true principles of the profession. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that chiropractic isn't about treating disease, it's about restoring the body's internal resistance and optimizing function. You'll also hear practical insights on communicating chiropractic more effectively, creating better patient experiences, building a philosophy-driven practice, and why today's world needs chiropractors more than ever. In this episode you'll hear about: Why every chiropractor needs a clear vision, mission, and purpose The difference between restoring function and treating disease How the nervous system influences every aspect of health Why optimizing function leads to better patient outcomes The concept of allostasis and adapting to today's constant stressors Why health is multidimensional and requires more than one solution Practical ways to communicate chiropractic philosophy to patients Why serving patients, not chasing numbers, is what builds a thriving practice The importance of creating habits that support long-term health and success Because when you stop chasing symptoms and start maximizing function, you help people unlock the health they were designed to have. "Health is a natural condition of the body. Our job is to locate the interference and restore function." – Dr. Fred Weekly Action Challenge This week, take a closer look at how you're communicating the value of chiropractic. Are you talking primarily about pain... or about function? Are your patients leaving with a deeper understanding of why they're under care? Choose one opportunity this week to shift the conversation beyond symptoms and toward helping someone understand the incredible potential of the human body. Some ideas: Explain how chiropractic supports function, not just pain relief. Review your office's vision, mission, and purpose with your team. Evaluate one patient interaction and ask, "Did I educate or simply adjust?" Identify one daily habit that improves your own physiology—whether it's movement, nutrition, rest, or stress management. Ask yourself each morning: "Am I helping people express better health, or simply chasing symptoms?" The strongest practices are built on strong philosophy. Keep Charging!

Every successful practice, and every successful life, is built on a series of difficult decisions. In this episode, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ explore one of the greatest obstacles to growth: avoiding the conversations, choices, and actions we already know need to happen. From leadership and hiring to relationships, business ownership, and personal development, they discuss why choosing what's right is rarely the easiest path, but it's almost always the one that leads to lasting success. The conversation dives into the courage it takes to confront fear, why so many chiropractors seek acceptance instead of standing confidently in their principles, and how consistent daily discipline compounds into extraordinary results over time. They also share practical insights on building a successful practice, making tough leadership decisions, learning from history's greatest chiropractors, and why long-term growth always starts with mastering yourself. In this episode you'll hear about: Why growth begins with difficult conversations The difference between doing what's comfortable and doing what's right Why confronting problems early saves years of frustration How fear of fitting in holds chiropractors back The importance of discipline over motivation Why successful practices are built on daily habits, not occasional effort Lessons from chiropractic pioneers and successful business leaders How emotional decision-making sabotages long-term success Why personal growth always comes before practice growth Because every major breakthrough begins the moment you stop avoiding what you already know needs to be done. "Do what's right, not what's easy." – Dr. Donald Francis   Weekly Action Challenge This week, identify one thing you've been avoiding. Maybe it's a conversation with a team member. Maybe it's letting go of an employee who no longer fits your vision. Maybe it's raising your fees, improving your systems, or finally committing to healthier daily habits. Whatever it is, stop waiting for it to become easier. Take one action this week that your future self will thank you for. Some ideas: Have the conversation you've been putting off. Make one leadership decision you've been delaying. Start one daily habit you've been saying you'll begin "next week." Remove one distraction that's keeping you from your goals. Ask yourself each morning: "Am I choosing what's easy, or what's right?" Growth rarely comes from comfort. It comes from having the courage to confront what needs to change. Keep Charging!

In this episode of The Consummate Athlete Podcast, Peter and Molly discuss a listener question about how to train when you have very little time to train! Concepts discussed include:  How to organize a training week if you only had 2.5 hours to train?  What 'training' is and how 'stacking' and movement snacks might help   Why context of the limited week matters - is it a stressful time or just a 'full life'  The importance and value of strength training during a time like this  How setting goals for the busy times helps you achieve success. 

Why do some chiropractors continue to grow, adapt, and thrive while others eventually burn out? In this episode, Dr. Fred  explore a principle that impacts every area of practice and life: adaptability. Drawing from chiropractic philosophy, physiology, sports performance, and decades of coaching experience, they discuss the difference between simply enduring stress and learning how to adapt to it. The conversation dives into concepts like homeostasis, allostasis, physiological equilibrium, and why long-term success requires more than working harder. It requires learning how to respond effectively to life's challenges. They also explore the critical difference between being assertive and being aggressive, and why so many doctors unknowingly sabotage their energy, health, and practice growth by living in a constant state of stress and reaction. You'll also hear powerful insights on: The difference between homeostasis and allostasis Why adaptability is one of the most important skills in practice growth How stress can strengthen you when managed properly The connection between physiology, energy, and performance Why many chiropractors push too hard and burn out The importance of coaching, mentorship, and guidance How visualization helps create future success Why authority and confidence come from adaptability, not force The power of staying in the gap between stimulus and response Because success isn't about being aggressive. It's about being adaptable. And the doctors who learn to adapt are the ones who create lasting growth without sacrificing their health, families, or joy along the way. "Be assertive, not aggressive." – Dr. Fred   Weekly Action Challenge This week, pay attention to how you respond when stress shows up. When a patient cancels. When a team member makes a mistake. When a report doesn't go as planned. When life throws something unexpected your way. Before reacting, pause. Create a small gap between the stimulus and your response. Ask yourself: "What's the most constructive response I can choose right now?" Then practice responding with intention rather than emotion. Some ideas: Take three deep breaths before responding to a stressful situation Write down one challenge and three possible solutions Schedule one recovery activity you've been postponing Spend 10 minutes visualizing your ideal future practice Identify one area where you're being aggressive instead of assertive The goal isn't to eliminate stress. The goal is to become better at adapting to it. Because growth doesn't come from avoiding challenges. It comes from learning how to respond to them. Keep Charging!!

In this episode of The Consummate Athlete Podcast, Peter and Molly answer a listener questions about: How would Peter use 25 hours if an athlete had a period in life to 'go all in' and train 25 hours per week Considerations about adding a lot of volume and risks of adding tons of hours without consideration or progression Defining the goal and what other aspects contribute to performance AND to helping you be better in the long term Review of other elements like mental, technical, tactical, mechanical training that would improve you long term

What if one of the biggest obstacles to your success isn't your marketing, your team, or your finances... What if it's your inability to stay present? In this episode, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ Schofield explore one of the most powerful yet overlooked skills in chiropractic, business, and life: present-time focus. From practice growth and patient care to health, relationships, and personal fulfillment, they discuss why so many doctors spend their lives trapped in the past or worrying about the future instead of fully engaging with the opportunities right in front of them. Drawing from sports psychology, coaching, physiology, and decades of practice experience, they break down how presence impacts performance and why the doctors who thrive are often the ones who can focus on what matters most in the moment. You'll also hear powerful insights on: Why "Now Here" and "Nowhere" may be closer than you think The connection between stress, physiology, and focus How breathing can instantly shift your state of mind Why chiropractors often lose joy by constantly living in the future The importance of coaching, association, and accountability How visualization helps create a compelling future without losing the present Why health and energy remain your greatest long-term assets How to stop replaying old mistakes and start moving forward Because the quality of your future is built by what you do in the present moment. And the doctors who stay present are often the ones who create the greatest impact. "Be now here... or be nowhere." – Dr. Fred   Weekly Action Challenge This week, begin noticing how often your mind leaves the present moment. When you're with a patient, be with the patient. When you're with your family, be with your family. When you're exercising, exercise. When you're resting, rest. Choose one simple practice to help you become more present: Take 5 slow, deep breaths before entering the office each morning Put your phone away during dinner Spend 5 minutes journaling your thoughts onto paper Take a short walk without listening to anything Pause between patients and reset your focus The goal isn't to eliminate distractions. The goal is to become aware of them. Because growth happens in the present. Not in yesterday. Not in tomorrow. Right now. Keep Charging!! MoChihChu!   Ask a Question for a Future Episode!

What separates doctors who create lasting success from those who constantly start and stop? In this episode, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ Schofield continue their conversation on the principles that drive long-term growth, both in chiropractic and in life. While motivation gets a lot of attention, this discussion explores why motivation alone is never enough. The doctors break down the difference between being inspired and being disciplined, and why the practices that thrive year after year are built on consistent daily actions rather than temporary bursts of enthusiasm. Drawing lessons from elite athletes, business leaders, and decades of coaching chiropractors, they discuss how distractions, adversity, fatigue, and lack of vision can quietly derail progress. More importantly, they explain how discipline creates the foundation for toughness, resilience, and sustained success. You'll also hear powerful insights on: Why motivation is unreliable without discipline How daily habits determine the future of your practice The connection between vision, effort, and long-term results What chiropractors can learn from elite athletes and performers Why distractions often sabotage growth and momentum How fatigue impacts decision-making, confidence, and consistency The danger of expecting big results from small actions Why success comes from focusing on effort instead of outcomes Because the strongest practices aren't built by doctors who feel motivated every day... They're built by doctors who consistently do what needs to be done, whether they feel like it or not. "The strength of my effort equals the size of my results." – Dr. Fred Weekly Action Challenge Take an honest look at one area of your practice where your actions don't currently match your goals. Then choose one discipline that would move you closer to the future you want and commit to it every day for the next 7 days. Some ideas: Arrive at the office 15 minutes earlier to prepare intentionally Review your stats daily instead of weekly Make your follow-up calls before leaving each day Spend 10 minutes improving your communication skills Complete one growth-focused task you've been avoiding Don't focus on the outcome this week. Focus on the effort. Because results don't come from what you intend to do. They come from what you consistently do. Keep Charging!! MoChihChu!   Ask a Question for a Future Episode!

What separates doctors who thrive from those who constantly struggle? In this episode, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ Schofield dive into one of the most overlooked skills in chiropractic, business, and life: toughness. But not the kind of toughness most people think about. This conversation explores the relationship between discipline, vision, energy, and personal growth, and why success is rarely determined by talent alone. From elite athletes and championship mindsets to chiropractic practice growth and patient care, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ unpack what it truly means to develop resilience from the inside out. They discuss why your body chemistry influences your mindset, how daily habits create long-term success, and why so many doctors get distracted chasing the newest gadget, technique, or marketing trend instead of focusing on their own personal development. You'll also hear powerful insights on: Why discipline is the foundation of mental toughness How vision determines the direction of your practice and your life The connection between energy, health, and sustained success Why consistency beats intensity every time The danger of looking for external solutions before developing internal growth Lessons chiropractors can learn from athletes, competition, and adversity Why chiropractic's greatest tools are often the ones we take for granted Because the strongest practices are built by doctors who continuously develop themselves first. "Where there is no vision, the people destroy themselves." - Dr. Fred   Weekly Action Challenge: Choose ONE daily discipline you've been avoiding and commit to it for the next 7 days. Some ideas to get you started: Start your day with intentional movement or exercise Spend 5 minutes practicing focused breathing Prepare a healthier breakfast every morning Read 10 pages from a book that helps you grow professionally Complete one task each day you've been putting off The goal isn't perfection. The goal is proving to yourself that you can do what you said you would do. Because toughness isn't built during the big moments... It's built through the small disciplines you repeat every day.

 Most patients don't quit care because they're unwilling… they quit because nobody ever explained the real cost of waiting.

This conversation dives into: Why patients stop care once they "feel better" How to ethically communicate degeneration and long-term spinal damage The importance of objective findings during ROF How to differentiate your office from symptom-based chiropractic care Why stabilization takes time, even after pain is gone How to handle per-visit patients without losing your message The role of communication in patient retention and long-term results Why corrective care must be explained clearly and consistently Dr. FJ also shares practical insight on patient commitment, pricing structures, recurring care, staffing challenges, and the future of running an efficient chiropractic office!

Most offices don't struggle because they lack talent. They struggle because no one is fully on the same page. In this episode of the MoChihChu Podcast, Dr. FJ Schofield and Susan Schofield dive into one of the most overlooked tools for growth, culture, and consistency: the team meeting. But this conversation goes far beyond "just having meetings." They unpack how weekly meetings create clarity, improve communication, strengthen culture, and help teams stop operating from emotion and start operating from awareness. From reviewing stats and identifying bottlenecks, to celebrating wins and building proactive team members, this episode is packed with practical insight that can immediately improve the flow of your office. Dr. FJ also shares why meetings should never become a place where teams feel beat down, and how great leadership comes from creating an environment where people feel safe to step up, solve problems, and grow. If your office feels disconnected, reactive, inconsistent, or stuck in survival mode… this episode is a reminder that small moments of alignment create massive momentum over time. Because when everyone is rowing in the same direction, growth becomes a whole lot easier.

What if healing wasn't about chasing symptoms… but restoring coherence? In this powerful episode, Dr. Fred Schofield dives deep into the philosophy, frequency, and function behind chiropractic care, and why so many people today are stuck living in survival mode instead of true alignment. Dr. Fred challenges doctors to stop going through the motions and start developing a deeper passion for analyzing, locating, and adjusting the subluxation with intention and certainty. He unpacks the importance of pre-checks and post-checks, the role of the nervous system in adaptability, and how true healing happens when the body is brought back into balance, not pushed too far sympathetic or parasympathetic. This episode also explores the overwhelming "noise" of modern life, how stress hijacks the glandular system and HPA axis, and why slowing down may actually be the key to greater energy, clarity, and practice growth. From hydration and morning rituals… to quantum physics, vibration, and chiropractic philosophy… this conversation is a reminder that healing starts when we reconnect to the frequency of life itself. If you've been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or simply going through the motions in practice or life, this episode will challenge you to recenter, refocus, and "expect a miracle."

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your strategy… but your energy? In this powerful conversation, Dr. FJ Schofield and Dr. Fred Schofield unpack the deeper layers of growth, discipline, authority, and the frequency you bring into every area of your life and practice. This episode goes far beyond "time management." It dives into the reality that most doctors and entrepreneurs aren't struggling because they lack information, they're struggling because their energy is scattered, their discipline is inconsistent, and they're trying to skip the process required to truly master something. Dr. FJ shares practical insights on building momentum, protecting your energy, auditing how you spend your time, and understanding the seasons of sacrifice required to create a thriving practice and meaningful life. Meanwhile, Dr. Fred brings the philosophical fire, reminding listeners that healing, leadership, and attraction all operate through energy, vibration, frequency, and certainty. Together, they challenge the modern obsession with shortcuts and "work less" culture, explaining why mastery is built through repetition, consistency, and years of committed effort. From cold tubs and fasting to chiropractic philosophy and patient certainty, this episode is a reminder that the way you show up matters more than any script or tactic ever will. If you've been feeling distracted, drained, uncertain, or stuck… this conversation will reconnect you to the bigger picture and remind you what it actually takes to build something meaningful.

What happens when the way you've always done things… stops working? In this episode, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ Schofield pull back the curtain on what's really happening in today's chiropractic landscape, and why so many doctors feel like they're doing everything "right" but still not seeing the same results. They unpack the massive shifts in marketing, patient behavior, and technology, and why relying on old systems (screenings, ads, referrals alone) just isn't enough anymore. But this isn't about chasing trends... It's about anchoring deeper into your fundamentals, while learning how to evolve with the world around you. From the power of language and identity in chiropractic… to the discipline required to create consistent content… to the necessity of surrounding yourself with the right people, this episode is a wake-up call for anyone who wants to grow, lead, and stay relevant. Because the truth is simple: The profession hasn't lost its power… but many have stopped adapting to deliver it.   "You have to adapt. The game has changed, and so must you." - Dr. Fred   Weekly Action Challenge: Pick ONE area of your practice where you've been resisting change, and take action!! Choose one: Start posting 1 piece of organic content daily for 7 days (no perfection, just consistency) Reach out and connect with one doctor who's ahead of you in an area you want to grow Audit your patient flow and ask: "Am I actually tracking outcomes, or just hoping for them?" The goal isn't to overhaul everything...It's to prove to yourself that you can evolve, on purpose!   The fundamentals will always be your foundation.

What if the results you're chasing in your practice… have nothing to do with new strategies, and everything to do with how you start your day? In this episode, Dr. FJ Schofield and Susan Schofield dive into a conversation that hits deeper than tactics. This isn't about doing more. It's about becoming the kind of person who actually follows through. They unpack the real reason so many doctors stay stuck, despite knowing exactly what to do, and how small, daily disciplines create massive shifts in energy, clarity, and execution.

You'll walk away rethinking: Why your morning routine is your competitive advantage The hidden cost of waiting until you "feel like it" How to build real discipline (without overwhelm) What it actually takes to create momentum that lasts This is about stacking wins. This is about taking control. This isn't about doing more. It's about doing the right things, on purpose, so your day stops running you. Because when you bring purpose to your morning… that consistent effort carries into everything you do. And that's where certainty is built.

If buyers need to believe the value before they buy…why don't they trust ROI when we show it to them? In Episode 5 of the Buyer Decision Series, Mark Stiving and Rebecca Kalogeris explore how to actually help buyers quantify value in a way they believe. Because the real value conversation doesn't start with spreadsheets or ROI calculators — it starts by helping buyers connect their problems to measurable outcomes they already care about. Discover how guiding buyers to use their own assumptions, their own numbers, and their own logic transforms value from something you claim… into something they trust — and why that trust is what ultimately increases the confidence needed to say yes.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Discover why buyers don't trust ROI; even when your numbers are right and how this skepticism silently kills deals and drives unnecessary discounting Learn how to guide buyers to calculate value using their own numbers so the outcome feels credible, defensible, and worth paying for Master a simple framework to connect features to real business impact; turning vague problems into measurable results buyers can justify internally   Catch Up on the #BuyerDecisionSeries: Episode 1: Buying Is a Prediction of the Future  Episode 2: Buyers Buy Futures, Not Features Episode 3: What Buyers Actually Pay For Episode 4: Why Buyers Can't Articulate Their Real Problems (And Why That Matters for Pricing)   "Buyers believe it more when they use their own numbers than when you tell them the answer." — Mark Stiving   Topics Covered: 00:00 – Why Buyers Don't Trust ROI (Even When It's True).  The core problem: telling buyers the value doesn't build confidence — it often creates skepticism. 01:30 – The Value Table: Turning Features into Business Impact. A simple framework — Feature → Problem → Result → KPI — to connect what you sell to what buyers actually care about. 03:30 – The Hardest Step: Defining the Real Problem. Why companies (not just buyers) struggle to articulate the problem — and how the "curse of knowledge" gets in the way. 05:00 – From KPIs to Money: Where Value Actually Comes From. How to link metrics like churn or productivity to real financial impact (cost savings or revenue growth). 06:30 – Step 2: How to Quantify Value in a Live Conversation. How to guide buyers through their own logic — starting from their problems and moving toward measurable outcomes. 08:00 – Let the Buyer Do the Math (And Why It Works). Why using their assumptions and their numbers makes the value more believable than any pitch. 09:30 – Why Smaller Numbers Increase Credibility. Using conservative estimates builds trust — and still leads to compelling value. 10:30 – Why ROI Calculators Backfire (and What to Do Instead).

We are joined in this episode by Stacey Shubitz, K-6 literacy consultant, a former elementary school teacher, and the co-founder of the Two Writing Teachers blog and podcast. Her forthcoming book, Make the School System Work for Your Child with Disabilities: Empowering Kids for the Future, empowers parents to navigate the special education system. In this episode, we talk openly about what it really takes to support a child with learning challenges in today's school system. Drawing from decades of experience on both sides of the table, Stacey shares why she wrote Make the School System Work for Your Child with Disabilities and what she wishes someone had told her when she was first trying to make sense of evaluations, IEP meetings, and endless paperwork. Our conversation centers on some of the practical mindset shifts that can help change everything for families, with Stacey explaining why leading with a child's strengths and not just their needs is so important for confidence and motivation. She also addresses disability language head-on, discussing why it is that naming disability isn't limiting but instead opens doors to services, legal protections, and access that families often don't realize they're entitled to. Throughout the episode, we highlight how knowledge of data, timelines, rights, and documentation can shift the power dynamic and help parents advocate more effectively. We offer some concrete guidance on when to push for evaluations, why waiting too long can do a lot of harm, and how to ask for progress data without feeling confrontational. Stacey also shares what makes IEP meetings feel collaborative instead of adversarial, from simple preparation strategies to small human touches that ease tension. Communication comes up again and again: how approaching teachers with curiosity, clarity, and respect can lead to better outcomes for kids! Stacey also speaks candidly about burnout, emotional exhaustion, and why joy isn't optional but protective. This conversation offers reassurance, realism, and a clear-eyed look at how parents can show up informed, empowered, and grounded while advocating for their children.
