As chiropractors, we’ve got to be willing to fight for our profession and our freedoms now as much as ever, just as the trailblazers of our industry did. To get the power of what chiropractic has to offer back into the mainstream we need to be ready to defend ourselves from misguided opposition, both external and internal. For this week’s episode, Dr. Lauryn is joined by a man doing exactly that, leading the fight to keep chiropractors free and chiropractic at the forefront of healthcare, Bharon Hoag.

As he puts it himself, Bharon Hoag is chiropractic’s biggest groupie. He loves and believes in chiropractic so much that he has made it his life’s mission to make chiropractic the number one healthcare choice in the world. To take on that mission, Bharon co-founded One Chiropractic, a collective of Chiropractic’s most disruptive advocacy organizations. Arguably the most notable of those organizations, and the one spoken about at length during today’s episode, is The Chiropractic Defense Council. 

The Chiropractic Defense Council has a singular focus: protecting the rights of practicing chiropractors around the world. There has never been a dedicated organization whose singular focus is to defend the rights of chiropractors to practice within the scope of their license – until now. The Chiropractic Defense Council (CDC) functions as a 501(c6) non-profit that consists of a specialized team of legal experts and attorneys, supported by a team of industry experts in chiropractic research/literature, regulation and scope, as well as representative spokespeople and a contracted PR firm.

During the conversation, Dr. Lauryn and Bharon discuss how to unite the chiropractic industry without sacrificing beliefs, shifting the messaging within chiropractic and how to better organize as a profession, how One Chiropractic and the CDC came about, some of the cases they have already fought and won, what the future holds, and much more.
