What does it take to build a thriving chiropractic practice while staying grounded in principle, purpose, and service?

In Episode 1 of Beyond The Adjustment, Dr. Chad welcomes Dr. Tim Young — chiropractor, speaker, mentor, and founder of Focus OKC — for a powerful conversation on the heart of chiropractic and the mindset required to create lasting impact.

Dr. Young shares stories from his journey into chiropractic, the lessons he learned building a high-volume family practice, and why he believes chiropractors often overcomplicate both practice and communication.

Together, they explore:

• The importance of chiropractic certainty
• Why connection matters more than perfection
• Simplicity in practice and communication
• Leadership within the profession
• Staying grounded in service and principle
• The role of chiropractic in helping people adapt and function at a higher level

The conversation also dives into the emotional and philosophical side of practice — including burnout, authenticity, mentorship, and how chiropractors can reconnect with the deeper “why” behind what they do.

Whether you’re a chiropractic student, seasoned practitioner, or simply curious about the philosophy that drives the profession, this episode sets the tone for what Beyond the Adjustment is all about.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Chiropractic philosophy and purpose
• Building certainty as a chiropractor
• Patient communication
• Practice growth and leadership
• Simplicity vs. complexity in healthcare
• Mentorship and professional development
