The Family Practice Podcast

In this episode Dr. Tony Ebel presents a technical case study of Amalie, a 4-year-old with level 3 non-speaking regressive autism, meltdowns with self-injury, severe sensory and emotional dysregulation, constipation, poor growth, and sleep disruption, following high-stress pregnancy during COVID, emergency C-section with cord entanglement and meconium, early infancy stress signs, and regression at 15 months. He describes how subluxation is the foundational neurological dysfunction and identifies integrative therapies as addressing compensations. Using scan interpretation (including counter-torque asymmetry and transition-zone exhaustion), intensive twice-daily, sequenced technique selection led to major improvements in sleep, movement, regulation, social engagement, and emerging communication, with later addition of PT/OT/speech as adjuncts. A true deep dive into clinical mastery. Get your notebooks ready!

In this episode, Dr. Allie Wright interviews Jalisa Reitz, head of brand and content marketing at The Pediatric Experience/PX Docs, about branding for chiropractors. Jalisa defines brand as the gut feeling and trust people have before meeting you, emphasizing that branding is always happening and should be intentional, rooted in mission, and consistent across marketing and patient experience. They discuss the cost of unclear branding (confusion, hesitation, slower growth, exhaustion), the importance of niching and psychographics, avoiding shiny-object dilution, using stories to build hope and trust, and protecting the brand (including with AI). Jalisa previews the PX Marketing Engine with staged tiers for brand foundation, content output, and full-funnel growth for PX members.

On this episode of The Family Practice Podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel shares a live “philosophy night” recording for chiropractic students through Club PX. He teaches the “Perfect Storm” sequence—maternal stress, birth trauma, and resulting nervous system dysregulation—stating autism/ADHD don’t begin in the brain but end there, and healing should prioritize nervous system function, then sleep, motor, gut, respiratory, and immune issues before higher brain changes. He contrasts chiropractic with functional medicine and chiropractic neurologists, criticizes supplement-heavy and expensive programs, stresses certainty, communication, care plans, and tracking progress via scans and parent reports, shares patient stories including his son Oliver’s recovery, and outlines a practice-growth model centered on clinical results, marketing, team-based success, and supportive associate pathways.

In this episode, Dr. Matt Hill interviews Dr. Lauren Mansolf of Sprouting Life Chiropractic in Chattanooga, TN about leadership and team culture during practice growth. She describes early warning signs of team misalignment—pushback on schedule changes, eye rolls, negativity, dropped responsibilities, declining KPIs, and staff no longer bringing their kids in for regular care—along with her gut discomfort walking into her own office. She explains how trying to compromise to keep the team together led to hiring a part-time role that became her COO, Brooke, whose buy-in came from personal experience as a patient’s mom. That hire raised expectations and triggered major team turnover, but helped reset hiring, onboarding, training, and communication around clear expectations, core values, vulnerability, and introducing prayer in the office. Dr. Lauren defines success as sustained community impact and patient stories rather than revenue goals, and closes with advice to listen to your gut, stay aligned with purpose, and follow the vision even through difficult seasons.
