The Chiro-Factor Episode 30: Ode to Cal Jam

Saison 1 · Épisode 30

jeudi 8 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:39:37

Recorded in front of a live audience in Las Vegas, this episode of The Chiro Factor brings Dr. Brad Glowaki and Dr. James Chestnut together with three guests whose careers were shaped by Cal Jam.

Dr. Ben Martin, president of the Chiropractic Association of Ireland, talks about flying in from Europe for Cal Jam, why “suffering comes from attachment,” and how dropping pay-per-visit helped double his practice in 18 months. Dr. Ryan Carlson, Dr. Glow’s former associate, explains how going to Cal Jam as a student changed his path and how following a proven “recipe” led him to collect over $1M in his first 12 months in Bentonville, Arkansas. Then Cal Jam creator Dr. Billy DeMoss joins to talk about the event’s legacy, his upcoming book Sex, Drugs, and Chiropractic, surfing with Kelly Slater, and whether Cal Jam is coming back.

The Chiro-Factor Episode 29: Concussion Science, Dysafferentation, the Talk That Fills Your Practice

Saison 1 · Épisode 29

mercredi 2 septembre 2026 • Durée 02:03:00

Dr. James Chestnut and Dr. Brad Glowaki kick off NFL season by settling the "exercise vs. adjustment" debate once and for all, then dive deep into the neuroscience and business of concussion care — one of the fastest-growing new-patient generators in chiropractic.They cover the topographical brain-body connection, why immobilizing injured joints (or necks) is outdated, the gut-brain axis after a head injury, and the counterintuitive talking points (car-crash G-forces vs. concussion G-forces, why NOT to give Tylenol post-head-trauma) that turn a 10-minute school talk into dozens of new patient sign-ups. They also unpack why the ImPACT concussion test has a 40% false-rating reliability issue, and revisit a cost-effectiveness study comparing 12 visits of chiropractic care to no care at all.Timestamps:00:00 — Sponsor intros: Best Practices seminar & podcast sign-up01:43 — Welcome back, NFL talk, Seahawks, and catching up11:16 — Is it exercise OR the adjustment?

The Chiro-Factor Episode 28: Ozempic Deception: What Chiropractors Need to Know About GLP-1 Drugs

Saison 1 · Épisode 28

vendredi 26 juin 2026 • Durée 02:05:23

In this episode of The Chiro-Factor Podcast, Dr. Brad Glowaki and Dr. James Chestnut go deep on two fronts: how to build adjustment-centric, evidence-based practices that patients trust — and a hard-hitting science breakdown of the GLP-1 (Ozempic) phenomenon sweeping global healthcare.Glow shares takeaways from his recent Australia workshops, and the duo unpacks the Therapeutic Working Alliance, the relationship Report of Findings, and why a segmentally specific adjustment to a subluxated segment has measurably greater neurological impact than adjusting one that's already moving. Then Chestnut turns "off the leash" on the GLP-1 industry — the staggering costs, the muscle wasting, the anhedonia, the rebound weight gain, and why lifestyle change remains the only real solution.Whether you catch this in one sitting or split it across your commute, it's packed with science, sound bites, and practice wisdom.🎯 Grab your seats to the Best Practices Seminar here: https://www.levelupmentoring.rocks/bestpracticesEpisode Timestamps:00:00 — Intro & where to find the podcast and Best Practices seminars01:30 — Australia recap & the mission behind the podcast04:30 — Why there'll never be a double-blind study on the adjustment; defusing the "subluxation" debate07:11 — The Niazi (2025) study: specific adjustments and the sensory motor cortex08:59 — Why a subluxation is physiologically detrimental — and the adjustment restores it11:37 — Loading value on Day One & the Chestnut Spinal Health Assessment13:40 — The Therapeutic Working Alliance: goal, intervention & bond agreement16:24 — The power of "because" in the Report of Findings19:01 — Building the bond of trust; why patients need more care than you think22:43 — The law of averages: do fewer, more valid tests25:04 — Practice announcements, the "if" statement & no answers on Day One33:43 — Shifting gears: GLP-1s and Ozempic — the setup35:18 — The numbers: 100 million obese adults, $70 billion a year, trillions projected39:25 — Using AI to check the evidence; lifestyle vs. drugs41:12 — Insurance profits, lobbying & the Medicare/Medicaid "guaranteed lottery ticket"44:16 — Side effects: blindness, "ass wasting," thyroid cancer & the denial playbook45:42 — The obesity pandemic: from "obesity gene" to body positivity to the drug rollout48:08 — Big Tobacco → Big Food → Big Ag → Big Pharma: the same playbook50:47 — GLP-1s now approved for children54:28 — How GLP-1s actually work: the peptide, the vagus nerve & satiation1:08:37 — Side effects explained: nausea, anhedonia, lost motivation & muscle/bone loss1:15:18 — Why people start anyway; the 70–80% who quit and the near-100% rebound1:20:05 — The reframe: injecting = admitting you've lost control1:23:04 — How we got 100 million obese adults: policy, lobbying & the SAD diet1:25:33 — "The ship isn't sinking — they're sinking our ship"; cutting off demand1:29:12 — Peptides teaser & upcoming Aaron Siri episode1:34:52 — Cost-benefit of injectables; living a reasonable life1:38:30 — Recap of the Ozempic numbers for part-two listeners1:40:07 — Reframing "health": the lowered number vs. true function1:57:30 — "You won the lottery": the next generation of chiropractors2:00:42 — Final thoughts, coaching, the ethical millionaire & sign-off

The Chiro-Factor Episode 27: Pharma Unmasked: A 100-Year History

Saison 1 · Épisode 27

mercredi 13 mai 2026 • Durée 01:58:51

In this special edition of The Chiro-Factor, hosts Dr. Brad Glowaki and Dr. James Chestnut welcome investigative journalist and attorney Gerald Posner, author of Pharma: Greed, Lies, and the Poisoning of America, for a no-holds-barred deep dive on the pharmaceutical industry.

Gerald brings the receipts — five-plus years of FOIA requests, court documents, and whistleblower interviews tracing pharma's 100-year history from selling morphine in the Civil War to becoming the second-largest industry on earth. Brad and James push the conversation further into where health actually comes from — and why no drug, even a "clean" one, can ever produce it. Together, they connect the dots between guideline manipulation, captured medical schools, direct-to-consumer advertising, vaccine immunity, off-label prescribing, NIH-funded patents, and the ongoing cancer and obesity-drug machine.

If you're a chiropractor, this episode is your ammunition. Decisions have consequences — and your patients deserve to know what's on the other side of the recommendation they didn't follow.

The Chiro-Factor Episode 26: Genes vs. Genome: Why Lifestyle Wins

Saison 1 · Épisode 26

mercredi 22 avril 2026 • Durée 53:58

Dr. Brad Glowaki and Dr. James Chestnut broadcast live from the Best Practices Seminar on the campus of Life University — hosted in the Guy Riekeman building — for a packed episode blending hard science, practice-building tools, and live Q&A with the next generation of chiropractors. The guys dig into why restriction and tenderness (allodynia) are the most valid indicators of a segmental problem, how neuroplasticity sensitizes nociceptive pathways, and how the adjustment paired with patient movement rebuilds healthy neurology. From there, they introduce two practical tools — the Chestnut Spinal Health Assessment and the new Table Talk for Referrals master class — before opening the mic to students from Palmer Florida, Life University, and beyond. The back half of the episode takes a deeper turn into epigenetics, stem cell expression, and the crucial difference between gene possession and gene expression — answering one of the most common questions students ask: why do some unhealthy people live long lives while some healthy people get sick young?Timestamps:0:00 - Welcome from the Best Practices Seminar at Life University0:45 - Allodynia explained: why tenderness + restriction = a valid segmental finding2:30 - Neuroplasticity, C-FOS proteins, and how nociceptive pathways become habits3:45 - The adjustment as stimulus, healing as response — why movement at home matters6:40 - The Chestnut (Chiropractic) Spinal Health Assessment: measuring severity & progress10:15 - Table Talk for Referrals — the new master class at LevelUpMentoring.rocks13:00 - Earning the right to ask for referrals (and why it's not a flywheel pitch)17:40 - Student Q&A #1 — Petra (Palmer Florida): Science, philosophy, and art in chiropractic21:30 - Defining the adjustment: HVLA, manipulation vs. adjustment, and the Niazi/Haavik study27:00 - Student Q&A #2 — Redmond (Life University, from Canada): navigating a mechanistic, anti-adjustment environment as a new grad29:30 - Vitalism vs. evidence: winning the argument by out-evidencing the "evidence-based" crowd32:30 - Student Q&A #3 — Michael (Palmer Florida): Why do healthy-looking people get sick young?35:00 - Toxicity, deficiency, and the bioaccumulation of exposures37:50 - Genome vs. genes: what determines lifespan vs. what determines expression43:20 - The stem cell analogy — the clearest way to explain epigenetics to patients47:00 - Twin studies, adopted-child studies, and why genes have near-zero predictive value49:00 - The 2% of true genetic illness vs. the 98% lifestyle-driven chronic disease52:00 - Wrap-up: honoring Dr. Guy Riekeman's legacy and closing thoughts

The Chiro-Factor Episode 24: The JAMA Study That Could End Chiropractic

Saison 1 · Épisode 19

jeudi 5 mars 2026 • Durée 01:49:50

In one of the most important episodes of The Chiro-Factor to date, Dr. Brad Glowaki and Dr. James Chestnut sound the alarm on a newly published JAMA study that, if taken at face value, could render the chiropractic profession obsolete. Chestnut breaks down in meticulous detail why the study's methodology is not just flawed, but deliberately designed to misrepresent usual chiropractic care. This is not a philosophical debate. This is a scientific methodology issue with existential stakes for the profession.This episode also carries a heavy heart. We lost one of chiropractic's true giants, Dr. Guy Riekeman, the same week this study dropped. We close the episode with personal stories and a heartfelt tribute to a man who shaped the profession in ways that cannot be overstated.

The Chiro-Factor Episode 23: The Evidence that Changes Everything

Saison 1 · Épisode 23

mardi 17 février 2026 • Durée 31:40

Recorded live on location in London, UK, Dr. Brad Glowaki and Dr. James Chestnut deliver a special field episode straight off the heels of their latest Best Practice Seminar. With chiropractors from 13 countries in the room, the energy was electric — and this episode captures exactly why.Dr. Chestnut opens with a deep dive into the landmark Manga Report, the most thorough literature review of low back pain interventions ever conducted, and explains why its conclusions are just as relevant today as they were in 1993. From there, the conversation moves into dose-response research, the D&R brain metabolite study, and the Haas study — all pointing to the same conclusion: more chiropractic care produces better outcomes, and there is still no rival intervention with comparable evidence.The guys also pull back the curtain on what actually happens in the seminar room — the fear, the misinformation, the doubt that chiropractors carry from school — and how two days of evidence can completely transform a practitioner's confidence and clinical identity. Plus, a candid conversation about the state of chiropractic across Europe, the GCC guideline changes, the UCA's momentum, and a strong recommendation for Scotland College of Chiropractic.Whether you're a seasoned DC or a student just starting out, this episode is a reminder of who you are, what the evidence says, and why chiropractic is the only remaining guideline-concordant intervention for low back pain.🎯 Grab your seats to the Best Practices Seminar here: https://www.levelupmentoring.rocks/bestpracticesEpisode Timestamps:0:00 - Welcome & The Manga Report: Chiropractic vs. Medicine, Head-to-Head2:18 - London Best Practice Seminar Recap & Why They Travel the World4:03 - Dose-Response Research: The D&R Brain Study & The Haas Study Explained6:36 - Philosophy Meets Evidence: Building a 24–36 Visit Care Plan with Confidence9:15 - Inside the Seminar Room: Chiropractors Who've Never Seen the Peer-Reviewed Literature10:43 - Cervical Adjustment Safety, Stroke Myths, and Passing Fear to Students13:07 - Decisions Have Consequences: What Happens When Patients Don't Get Adjusted15:02 - SMT Is the Last One Standing: The Only Guideline-Concordant Intervention Left17:50 - Rebuilding Chiropractors' Confidence and Professional Identity18:12 - Show & Tell vs. Tell & Tell: Patient Communication, Re-Exams & the GCC Guidelines21:09 - Erasing Scientific Doubt: Why Evidence, Not Philosophy, Is the Key22:19 - Virtual Coaching, Table Talk Masterclass & the Level Up Academy23:17 - The State of Chiropractic in Europe: UCA, Scotland College & the Youth Movement24:32 - Wrap-Up, Upcoming Events (Atlanta, Amsterdam, London) & A Call for One More World Tour
