Noah: Thank you Dr. Ariel Provasoli for being here today.
 
Dr. Ariel: Thanks for having me.
 
Noah: My pleasure and this interview is about surviving chiropractic school, but you mentioned that you just got back from a service trip and I wonder if you could talk about the service trip that you went on. What happened? What were the big insights that you had?
 
Dr. Ariel: So I have been traveling to Jamaica for the last four years. For the last three years I've been co- facilitating a self-care and service retreat with Dr. Tracy.
 
She's from globalivity and she has practiced all over the world. She had a vision to create a chiropractic service retreat that also integrated self-care into the retreat and so I went. I graduated from school at life West in June of 2013 and I went as a new graduate and I ended up falling in love with Jamaica and Tracy.

Welcome to DC2Be Revolution. Helping Chiropractic students think big in order to live large. I'm your host Noah Volz and today I'm here with Dr. Anne Jensen. She has a varied history in the Chiropractic world. She got her Ph.D. from Oxford and she's published a lot of different research articles and considered an expert in emotional wellness and she's the developer of heart speak, the powerful innovative stress reduction process.

Noah: Thank you for being here.

Dr. Anne Jensen: Welcome, I'm really glad to be here thanks Noah. I know that there are a lot of students who are curious about research and want to be really involved in doing research in Chiropractic or at health or and wellness.

Noah:  When I see they talk a little bit of your origin story how you transitioned from a clinician into a researcher and what that looks like for you now.

Dr. Anne Jensen: I was practicing in North Queensland in Australia for 11 years and during the last few years of practice was doing research in practice, I was doing some kind of fringy things and I thought I was seeing amazing changes.

Noah: Welcome to DC2Be Revolution. Helping chiropractic students think big in order to live large.

I'm your host Noah Volz and today I'm here with Dr. Ankur Prakash. He has been actively fulfilling his sole purpose by creating solutions for people at his “Living Well-Balanced” Centers located in both New York and North Carolina. In addition to offering excellent care at his different centers he's also expressing his passion for entrepreneurship as Chief Medical Officer of Perform Stretch. I really wanted to get you on the show today because Garrett Gunderson told a story about how you accelerated your success in a really short amount of time.

Dr. Prakash: Garrett's way too humble, he thinks it’s all me, but he did a huge part of that.
 
Noah: I was looking at your bio and you did something original. You mentioned Wealth Factory, mastermind groups, and other programs that you're part of. This showed that you didn’t do it all alone and that you had coaching and mentorship all the way through. Can you talk about how your realized that was necessary for you? And how you got through the roadblocks to get where you are right now?

Noah: Alright! Welcome to DC2Be Revolution, this is Noah Volz and we're thinking big to live large. I have a great opportunity that I’m getting to talk to Dr. Angel Ochoa Rea and he's a really personable and caring chiropractor; I’m super excited about this conversation. He's also the owner of LGBT chiropractic in San Diego. Dr. Rea thanks for being here.

Dr. Rea: Of course! Thanks for having me. I’m excited to be here.

Noah: Yeah, my pleasure well since you have LGBT chiropractic. I wanted to start by talking to you about diversity and so I wondered what your experience of diversity has been within the chiropractic community and if there's any advice you have in terms of creating more inclusivity within that community.

Noah: Welcome to DC2Be Revolution. Helping chiropractic students think big in order to live large. I'm your host Noah Volz and today I'm here with Dr. Andrew and Ashley Torchio. They are chiropractors and the owners of Pangaea chiropractic in Bend, Oregon. They are on a mission to change the world through education, transparency, and empowerment. Thank you two for being here. My first question for the two of you is about approaching somebody as an individual, as a living being, instead of approaching them as a conglomeration of different symptoms.

Drs. Torchio: The first thing that I do at the first visit is I don't recognize their symptoms because I don't want them to think anything they're coming in with doesn't matter to me. So it does matter to me and I didn't want you to have those symptoms and I don't want your body to be expressing itself like that. I will definitely address it but then being a chiropractor you always have to take it deeper and we, all of us, know it's not the symptom, it's never been the symptom and so even when you look at the subluxation, even that in itself can be a symptom. We start talking thoughts, traumas, and toxins. We start taking it deeper. As long as you can help them wrap their head around the fact that it's all an expression of how their body or their mind are responding to their environment. The hard part is not in the session. You offer educational opportunities or look at how the education process take place in your office.

Noah: Welcome to DC2Be Revolution. Helping chiropractic students think big in order to live large. I'm your host Noah Volz and today I'm here with Dr. Alan Goldhamer. He is up in Santa Rosa, California and he's doing some really innovative multidisciplinary health care. Thank you Dr. Goldhamer for being here.

I just wanted to start off and talk about some of the research that you've done. It seems like you've been busy publishing a lot of really interesting and exciting research and I was hoping that you could talk a little bit about that and then provide any advice for students on how we can also conduct good quality research either in school or once we get into practice.

Today I'm here with Dr. Adam Swick. He's a chiropractor at Velo Sport Rehab in Washington State. He graduated from the University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic in Connecticut and combined his passion for rugby and sports chiropractic by going to Sydney, Australia and practicing chiropractic. Now he's back in the States utilizing the latest research to guide his clinical approach using gentle chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue, nutrition, and therapeutic exercise. Dr. Swick thanks so much for being here. Can you tell the audience why you went to Australia, how long you were there, and why did you come back?

Noah: Today I’m here with Dr. Lehman. He is an associate professor of clinical sciences at the University Of Bridgeport College Of Chiropractic and the director of Health Sciences postgraduate education. Dr. Lehman developed the full-time resident training program that you set up at the Connecticut based federally qualified health center. Can you talk about the origin of that program and where you're at in the process right now?

Dr. Lehman: Back in 2011 the Community Health Center Inc. out of Middletown Connecticut contacted the chiropractic State Association and expressed interest in integrating chiropractic services into their primary care facilities. The Dean of the chiropractic college at the University of Bridgeport then contacted me and asked if I would be interested in working with this particular program since I had some experience in New Mexico integrating chiropractic services into Lovelace health care system and also Lovelace Medical Center and then the University Of New Mexico School Of Medicine.
I accepted the offer. We met with the entire administrative staff for Community Health Center about incorporating chiropractic services to evaluate and manage patients that have chronic pain.

Welcome to DC2Be Revolution. Helping chiropractic students think big in order to live large. I'm your Noah Volz. Today I'm here with Dr. Christine Goertz. She's the vice chancellor for research and health policy at Palmer College of Chiropractic and the chief executive officer of The Spine Institute for quality called spine IQ. What is the work that you're working on currently and what are the changes that you've seen over the last 25 years in terms of chiropractic that would be really relevant to students?

Dr. Goertz: We're really excited about a grant that we just got from the National Institutes of Health in September 2018. It's a largest grant that has ever gone to a chiropractic educational institution from NIH. It's a multidisciplinary effort that includes investigators from Yale, the University of Iowa and then the VA in Connecticut, Minneapolis, and in Iowa City as well as the Palmer Center for chiropractic research. We are researching dosing.  Even after 25 or 30 years of comprehensive research in chiropractic in regards to low back pain. We still don't know enough. We don’t know how many times a patient needs to see a chiropractor to have the best outcome.
