Chirocast

One of the most profound statements Dr. Sid Williams ever said is, You've got to care so much that you don't care at all." When Dr. Rubin first heard that, he had no idea what it meant. But the more he pondered on it and discussed it with his wife and colleagues, the more he understood the wisdom behind that brief sentence. Listen to this glimpse of the philosophy of Dr. Sid and what it can mean to your life.

How do you excel at whatever occupation you choose? Most would answer: study, read, follow the path left by the greats before us, and all of those answers are right. But the 13 year old boy that created the term 'hackschooling' and was featured in a TED talk suggests one step better: hacking. He doesn't mean the kind of hacking that is going on today, from foreign nationals hacking into computers of huge corporations or even governments. What he is talking about is blazing new paths in time-trodden careers. Think about the iPhone. Nobody was crying out for it. But Steve Jobs created something that has now permeated the entire world, by his 'hacking' into design and engineering that previously was not thought of for a cell phone!

Are we ready for the next generation of chiropractic? Are we ready for the next evolution? As Pam Grout, author of the E squared books talks about, it's time for a change and so many people are ready for it. Who is going to be the group leading the change? It's got to be us. It's got to be now.

Whose language are you speaking? Are you speaking what THEY want or what YOU want? Are you creating the life of YOUR dreams or of THEIR dreams for you? We have to pay attention to the voices that are in our heads and ask the key question...whose voice is that? Is that my voice? BJ Palmer used to call it the 'wee small voice' inside. The loud voices, those of fear, rejection, hate, they are not the ones to follow. What does your heart tell you? Listen to Dr. Rubin tell stories of 2 remarkable children and how their lessons can affect your life.

Do you realize how powerful the human body is? Do you realize how powerful the human brain is? Do you realize that we are not stuck with our brains and the bodies as they exist right now? We can change! We can change any thing at any time! How? With the right input! And the right amount of time that those inputs or put in. Each one of us has ability to change his or her genetic expression. You may not be able to change your actual DNA, but you can't change how the DNA is expressed in your body each and every day. Whether this is in regards to chiropractic adjustments for a neurologically challenged child, or it's about motivating yourself to start a new habit, as one of the famous chiropractic principles illustrates, everything, everything, everything takes time!

Dr. Rubin's mentor until his untimely death was Dr. Larry Webster. In this podcast, Dr Rubin fondly remembers a phrase that Dr. Webster said in a seminar. He said, "when you fall in love with chiropractic, it will give up it's secrets to you." Dr Rubin talks about the difference between being the technician, who is simply working a job, versus someone who is so passionate and in love with what they do, that whatever their chosen field is, it tends to give up its secrets to you. Hear Dr. Rubin explain what those secrets are and how you can use them in your life.

Have you ever had a day when you said to yourself, "I've had it? Enough is enough?" Dr. Rubin explains one such day he had many years ago, and uses his mentor Jim Rohn to describe what four steps you should take when you have one of those kind of days. Everybody has days like this. Now you have an action step to do what needs to be done to turn your life around.

The GFC philosophy stands for God and Family chiropractic. If you are not in chiropractic, the it stands for God Family Career. It was first talked about in one of BJ Palmer's Green books, and is a System to determine whether or not something should be done in your life. In other words, if you come to a decision or a fork in the road, how do you decide what to do? Using the God Family Chiropractic model, every decision the Rubins make is based upon if it is okay with those three concepts. If even one out of those three ideas does not jive with the GFC philosophy, no matter what that idea is, is canned. You need all three to proceed. Learn how you can use the system for yourself.

The Polyvagal theory is one of most revolutionary ideas to come across chiropractic and neuroscience in the last 25 years. That along with the concept of neuroplasticity has created a complete turnaround in how we look at the nerve system and how bodies heal, especially from what used to be thought of as a behavioral issues such as autism and ADHD. The Polyvagal theory is an elegant way of explaining how the nervous system does not work as a balanced system but as a hierarchical system. Come learn from one of the top pediatric chiropractors on how he applies these theories to his practice.

After listening to a video by Dr. Joe Dispensa, in which he mentioned the old quote from Dr. Hebb, "Nerves that fire together wire together!" Dr Rubin asked the class, "What is stopping you from being successful in your future?" He then asked, "How many have written goals?" and was saddened to see only half raised their hand. "You must be successful," he implored, "for two reasons: first off… Why not you? You deserve it! And more importantly, because every time you're not successful, a child suffers because you didn't adjust them!"
