April 19, 2021 From Near Death to Thriving with Dr. Jordan Tanko DC – Chiro Hustle Podcast 240
I became a chiropractor because it saved my life when I was 14 years old. As a young kid, I was in a very bad car accident with my older brother. I broke about 12 bones, major concussion, splenectomy, broken femur, broken pelvis in 4 places, and was pronounced dead on arrival. I was supposed to get airlifted to HCMC in Minneapolis but it was too cloudy to fly.
In ICU for 2 weeks unconscious, then in another hospital room for another 2 weeks. I was finally out a month later in a wheelchair, and patch for my eye (The concussion was so aggressive I saw double-vision for months afterward) In a bunch of pain, I was just praying I could get pain free without medications forever, walk, run, and just live a normal life again. I was told I would most likely be mentally challenged and or medicated for a lifetime. My mother then met a chiropractor and my life changed forever.
12-18 months later, I am on no medications, running at maybe 85% capacity, and vibrant again. I loved the idea as a kid helping others without drugs and surgery.
I then went to SCSU in MN to pursue my undergrad degree in human biology. I was fascinated with anatomy and Physiology. I then pursued my DC at NWHSU graduating in 2015. I then pursued to learn the art of chiropractic at one of my mentor's offices, Dr. Dennis Woggon. I then opened my own practice in Ankeny IA in Oct. 2015. I opened my practice 100% cash, continued to grow every month, collecting north of 50k every month. 4-5 years into practice, at 29 years old, I was diagnosed with cancer.
I then tried to heal naturally, no drugs, no surgery. Unfortunately, that did not work as well as I had hoped, so as a last resort, I went to chemo and surgery. A lot of chemo and many surgeries later, I am back and healthy and see the world through a whole different set of lenses. I also continued to ponder on what I was going to do next for a career. Don’t get me wrong, I am a DAMN proud chiropractor!! However, I felt something in my spirit tell me that God had another idea in mind for me, and going back to physically seeing patients wasn’t one of them.
I am an entrepreneur at heart, so I wanted to always be my own boss, that’s all I Know. I was thankful when I was a 25-year-old punk doctor, I got introduced to my financial advisor. He helped me with many different strategies in regards to wealth accumulation, debt reduction, and tax strategies specific to the business owner. This stuff blew my mind and I loved it!! I also cannot imagine my life today without having those things in place knowing my health history. I wholeheartedly believe, this profession, like chiropractic when I was younger, has also saved my life. I think many would agree when I say that the majority of chiropractors either get POOR business/financial advice, or NONE at all!! So as a financial advisor, I know just think of myself as a doctor of one's financial health, vs the physical health. And don’t feel like I left the profession at all, considering 80% of my clients are chiropractors 😊 As chiropractors, we deserve to retire rich for what we provide to the world. My goal is to help every doctor get there with the least amount of stress possible.

April 08, 2021 Generational HEALTH with Dr. Paula Ruffin, DC – Chiro Hustle Podcast 237
Dr. Paula Ruffin’s career was forged from an early age by her mother’s influence of healthy eating and homemade meals.

Dr. Ruffin has been practicing for 23 years. She added functional medicine to her practice almost 20 years ago when she realized that helping people make positive lifestyle and nutritional changes was pivotal for their overall health success. She attributes her love for public speaking to her father who was an Eastern Orthodox priest. She admired his charisma and ability to connect with people by speaking off the cuff and from the heart and has always had a strong desire to emulate that. Dr. Ruffin serves on her township board where she is involved in the structure and growth of the community and local businesses.

March 25, 2021 The End of the World in Chiropractic with Dr. Tedd Koren, DC – Chiro Hustle Podcast 233
At the Sherman College of Chiropractic, I rediscovered the ancient natural philosophy of healing and vitalism that was being lost amidst the modern infatuation with drugs and surgery. I especially liked chiropractic’s natural, drug-free procedures of locating and addressing the cause of body malfunction rather than treating symptoms – allowing the body to heal itself, as it was designed to do.
When I entered chiropractic school I unknowingly became a participant in an ancient war. For over 2,500 years there has been a conflict in healthcare philosophies – best expressed as the conflict between empirical and mechanistic healers and often described as expressive versus suppressive healthcare. Chiropractic and various natural approaches are of the empirical school while orthodox (allopathic or Western) medicine is of the mechanist school. Far from being a cause of stress, this conflict helped me make sense out of the various ways healthcare is practiced in different professions.
After graduating from Sherman College of Chiropractic (as class valedictorian) I jumped into private practice and professional involvement. I helped found Pennsylvania's only chiropractic college where I taught for nearly two years.
I later hosted a two-hour radio call-in show on commercial radio every week in Philadelphia called “Holistic Hotline.” I met many of the leaders of the natural healing community in the greater Philadelphia area and was exposed to various healing modalities. It was a great education to help me make sense out of the often-confusing world of health choices.
It's been my unshakeable belief in the wisdom of the body and its power to heal that has guided my choices throughout what you’ve read about above as well as healthcare decisions for my wife and our children. It’s also been at the core of my determination throughout my legal battles (including successfully standing up to the US government) on behalf of the chiropractic profession and the public’s right to freedom of choice in their healthcare. I continue to teach, to lecture, and to learn."
