The Joy Led Practice with Dr. Jodi Dinnerman

Dr. Steve Tullius and Pacha Hornaday talk with Dr. Jodi Dinnerman about building and running a chiropractic practice without traditional staff. The conversation covers the systems and mindset shifts needed to replace a team, why subluxation-focused care depends on genuine patient connection, and how to know when it is time to change your practice model. It offers practical guidance for chiropractors rethinking overhead, workflow, and what a joy led practice actually looks like.

Dr. Jodi Dinnerman shares how building a sustainable chiropractic practice became less about chasing volume or external validation and more about creating alignment around joy, purpose, and authentic connection. She explains how burnout, pressure, and overcomplication can gradually disconnect doctors from the reason they entered the profession in the first place, even when the practice appears successful on the outside. The discussion digs into leadership, communication, and practice culture, emphasizing that joy is not separate from performance but deeply connected to clarity, energy, and consistency in care. What becomes evident is that practices built around alignment and genuine connection tend to create stronger relationships, greater sustainability, and a more grounded expression of chiropractic over time.
