Synopsis
In episode 40, Dr. Steve Tullius and Pacha Hornaday talk with Dr. Wade Port about building an authentic, unapologetic chiropractic brand and how personal growth connects to a subluxation-focused practice. The conversation moves through consciousness, innate intelligence, and belief, then into practical topics like serving patients, research support, and an upcoming chiropractic marketing summit. It offers chiropractors both a philosophical and practical look at differentiating their practice while staying rooted in subluxation-based care.
Dr. Wade Port shares why becoming a better chiropractor starts with the person behind the adjustment, and why authenticity, congruence, and continual growth are essential to serving at a higher level. Drawing from his early mentorship with Arno Burnier and decades of involvement with MLS, he discusses subluxation as a pattern that can limit greater expression, the importance of meeting people just beyond where they are, and how chiropractic can create an opportunity for greater awareness and adaptability. The conversation also examines technique, communication, service, professional acceptance, and the inner work required before chiropractors can fully carry the responsibility of chiropractic’s Big Idea.
