Chiropractic suffers from an extreme lack of confidence. The entire profession is in a reactive state, probably from years of bullying. But now that we have so much evidence and science backing us up, shouldn't we be ok with our philosophical underpinnings and shout it from the rooftops. People want what we do and more importantly need what we have! We need to believe in ourselves not just personally but as a profession!

Ayn Rand asked the question, "Philosophy...who needs it?" The answer is: everybody! In order to have a mission or a purpose, you need to know your philosophy, your reason why. Victor Frankl stated, "When you know your 'why', you can endure almost any 'how." This is a recording of a webinar with the Logan University College of Chiropractic Philosophy Club from February 2018.

When you look examine a child, whether you are a parent or a doctor, you must rely not just on what is said but what your eyes tell you about the situation. There are so many clues that words won't give you but your visual ability will. Listen to this as Dr. Rubin continues to explain how to improve your visual strategies.

Dr. Rubin takes you for a tour of the variety of skin related issues you might encounter in a pediatric chiropractic office. From rash diseases to food reactions, hear how Dr. Rubin describes what you might see whether you are a family based chiropractor or you are an interested parent.

Trajectory implies direction. Where is the child headed? In an article from the journal Pediatrics in 2012 titled, Six Developmental Trajectories Characterize Children With Autism. I'd like to suggest that there are other trajectories, and one of them is children under chiropractic care. We see miracles everyday and that was one trajectory that was not spoken about in the Pediatric article. Listen for more!

Disruptive is a favorite buzz-word lately. From our perspective, we like doing things that nobody else does, recognizing things no one else sees, and because of that, get results that most don't. Bill Esteb, one of my favorite chiropractic speakers (who actually is not a chiropractor but is a totally bought-in patient), had a great talk at the ICPA Family Wellness Summit in March, titled "Disruptive Chiropractic." After his amazing speech on Friday night of the Summit, I was so enthused that these steps for Disruptive Pediatrics poured out of me. Check them out!

Do you walk your talk? Do you do as you say you're going to do? Dr. Rubin explains how Dr. Sid Williams changed his life in July 1993. If you ever wondered how you can go from unfocused to laser focused, from uninspired to highly motivated, from being an interested observer to being a fully engaged participant in this game called life, then listen as Dr Rubin outlines how Dr Sid inspired him to truly follow his dreams.

The Opioid Epidemic is one of the worst man-made challenges in recent history. An article in the journal Pediatrics explains that this horrible crisis is effecting our kids too, especially in the 12-17 year old category (see article here: https://bit.ly/2thq3ut). Listen in on the beginning of class as Dr. Rubin tackles this serious issue.

If you live in the US, then you live in the most beautiful and advanced country in the world. Why would we not want to take care of it? When walking into my office every morning, I am always picking up trash. Why? The great speaker Jim Rohn taught us that the environment counts, that little things like picking up the trash make a big difference. Pay it forward and pass it on!

If you haven't read "As a Man Thinketh..." by James Allen, you are probably missing one of the greatest small books of the early 20th century. It is incredibly motivating, and even though it was written over 100 years ago, it is still just as relevant today. Dr. Rubin explains the power of this short book in a passionate talk to students who are about to graduate. The book is available for free here: https://asamanthinketh.net/
