Chiro London Podcast

Craig McLean

The podcast from Chiro.London, hosted by founder Craig McLean. We meet chiropractors or people of influence who have an interesting life journey to share, always intertwined with a Chiro link. We started by chatting to the whole Chiro.London team of chiropractors and along the way we expanded to include some of the past Chiro London team, international chiropractors of influence, health focused London businesses or people (yoga, Pilates, gyms, PTs, psychotherapists) and simply some cool people who have found their way through the Chiro London doors. Enjoy!

Thank you Melissa and the UCA crew for pushing me out of my comfort zone and encouraging me to give a 30 minute presentation at the October 2022 Chiropractic Essentials conference held in Birmingham. This is a recording of my 30 min slot with some pre and post comments about the talk.
My presentation covered 5 areas
Time: turning 50 and gaining perspective on time passing
Healing: My lumbar disc herniation recovery story
Immune system: My comments on the frustration I feel about how the globe losing faith in our immune systems. It was a perfect opportunity to do all we can to live a healthy lifestyle to boost our natural immunity, but instead we have just put all our faith in the covid vaccine and have been encouraged to carry on with poor health practices.
Professional relations: What can we as chiropractors do to work better together
Legacy: What is your legacy you are leaving behind?

Great to have another chat with Guy Riekeman, truly an elder statesman of the chiropractic profession. We first had a conversation in 2021 when we covered most of Guy's legacy for the chiropractic profession and I'd recommend you give this a listen as well as the current episode.
However today is all about how the role of the chiropractor has changed over the years. We start by exploring the different ways chiropractors have educated their patients. It started with brochures, then patient lectures, then in clinic video tapes and now he has a new optimal health promotion app that has launched in the USA.
From their website this is what its all about...
'My Lifestyle iQ is a content-rich Remote Patient Engagement App that allows you to manage critical areas of health and prevention.'
'It is self-directed and can also be used to enhance in-office care by integrating multiple health domains, including Exercise, Nutrition, Brain Health, Positive Psychology, and the six areas of Functional Preventative Health.'
Melissa and the UCA in the UK are looking into how UK docs can get involved in using the app. Have a listen to what it's all about and get in touch with Melissa if you are keen to give it a test in the UK.
Thanks for listening

Kate literally had no idea I was about to record a conversation with her as we drove to the Lions of Chiropractic seminar together. I promised to not do any karaoke but half way through we were joined by Fleetwood Mac and ended the chat with some Boni Jovi.
Had loads of fun making this, enjoy!
Kate joined us 4 years ago and at her interview knew nothing about chiropractic, 4 years on she is head of our Tooting clinic, a champion of chiropractic and thriving as its manager. Listen in to her journey.

Great chat with Laurence, who, it could be argued is afraid of what a cosy and comfortable life looks like. I loved hearing about the early days with the Wellness Guys, (a before its time podcast about wellness - not chiropractic).
We follow his life from being a Chiro in Perth, to a Chiro coach in Sydney to 2 years ago again moving and ending up in Portugal.
As a chiropractic coach he loves helping you make decisions you didn't even know you needed to make. Thanks Laurence for sharing that heart wrenching story about your father-in-laws life changing accident and how it has shaped your life and decisions from then on.
Recorded minutes before a gathering of UK chiropractors in the Putney clinic in London, enjoy...

Summary

Loved the chat with Jess Hambly, the Aussie chiro who has been in the UK for 6 years but just recently joined the Chiro.London team. She has 16 years experience, is a doula (birth partner) and has a super strong chiropractic philosophy. We signed off the week with a glass of rose and a chat about all things health and chiropractic.
Summary of what was discussed.

  • What is chiropractic , Jess's elevator pitch.
  • Jess Hambly the chiropractor, her story from the beginning to now.
  • Jess the professional associate - her opinion on why life as an associate is better than being a practice owner, given the right environment.
  • Bourbon v Cognac - blind tasting live on the pod
  • Unpopular opinions: challenging the germ theory of disease in a post covid world, how exposure does not always equal infection.
  • Definition of health - Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
  • Jess's past roles as a doula and how its helped her understand and help more pregnant women.
  • Jess and her coaches/mentors - how its helped her navigate 16 years as a chiropractor.

You can find Jess in our Fulham Clinic or on instagram @dr_jesschiro

Listen in to episode 77 where myself, Craig Mclean and Doc Conor Ward ‘the health elevator’ discuss heart rate variability (HRV), what is it and why do we measure it?
What effects does chiropractic have on HRV, your nervous system and your overall health.
Lastly what is whoop / other wearable health tech devices that measure HRV, our overall strain/stress and recovery scores and how can they add to the body of scientific evidence to support how healthy lifestyle choices including a visit to the chiropractor can positively impact your overall health and wellbeing.
Early research on chiro and HRV in the link below, we need more but let's keep chatting about it and inspiring a larger body of evidence on the topic.

Loved this chat with Nimrod Mueller. This podcast episode essentially is about two things. 1. levelling up your chiro philosophy to a new unknown chiro philosophy 'gaming' level that I didn't know existed. 2. Unpacking the day I spent with Nimrod and some of the UK leaders of chiropractic plotting course for Chiro in the UK and discussing the next event taking place in March 2024.
If you don't now him, Nimrod is an Aussie chiropractor who graduated from Sydney college, Australia, practiced in the UK, then 10 years back in Sydney and now in Barcelona. If you haven't heard Nimrod speak he's one of the cleanest thinking docs and clearest communicators of chiropractic around. He's been politically active in the Aus and more recently he has teamed up with Mark Postles and become a coach at Quest.
If you are keen to get involved in the next chiro meet up just email Nimrod and the details are....

Loved this chat with Martin Harvey, one for the chiropractors, I (Craig McLean) was in London 2oC he was in Melbourne 30oC and we covered in one episode so many ways to engage better with your clients to enable you to provide better service which naturally will encourage people to stay with you longer.
At the beginning, after setting the scene, we tackle the question as to whether it's appropriate to encourage people to be life long chiropractic patients. Some in the profession suggest it's not appropriate and we should be able to teach/train/coach all people out of a problem and dis-engage with them as soon as possible or you are just ripping people off. We came to the conclusion that with todays stressful lifestyles and peoples desire to be as healthy as possible there is a need and desire by many to add chiropractic to their healthy lifestyle choices hence it is appropriate to some people.
So listen on to find out things to do during your 1st, 2nd or routine visits that can help you engage better with your clients. Martin is an expert at helping us communicate more effectively to help people move from focus on pain to prevention and eventually performance. Spoiler alert - all about building bridges from where the person is at or focused and bridging to the possibilities of a different paradigm.
Thanks Martin here are some links to Martin's work.
