Ep. 39: The Chiropractor Who Had Spinal Surgery: Dr. Kristina Kill's Unapologetic Truth About Health, Practice, and What Really Matters


Listen Later

What happens when the chiropractor who built one of Utah's leading family wellness practices realizes she's been sacrificing everything to prove her worth? Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa sit down with Dr. Kristina Kill (formerly Stitcher) for the most raw conversation yet about the brutal cost of having no boundaries, the health crises that forced her to face hard truths, and why sometimes loving your profession means learning to say no.

This episode isn't just about chiropractic, it's about the courage to rebuild your entire approach to success when you realize you've been running on fumes and calling it passion. From spinal fusion surgery to divorce, from cancer to finding her voice again, Dr. Kristina proves that your deepest challenges aren't derailing your purpose, they're refining it.

🔥 In This Episode:

  • The moment Dr. Kristina realized "getting adjusted" wasn't enough when she was pushing herself beyond physical limits
  • How weight struggles, spinal surgery, and health crises became her greatest teachers about authentic service
  • "Care but don't carry" — the boundary that will revolutionize how you serve patients
  • The power of saying "we're not a good fit" with love and watching the universe deliver the right patients
  • Why the profession's "prove yourself" mentality is killing practitioners and how to break free through authentic boundaries

After 21 years, a spinal fusion, cancer, divorce, and complete practice transformation, Dr. Kristina has MORE fire in her belly now than when she started. Because real success isn't about proving you can handle everything. It's about knowing what deserves your energy and what doesn't.
