Your Chiropractic practice is an extension of you. You are ‘above’, your choices are ‘down’, the ‘inside’ is your business, and the ‘out’ is how it interacts with the world. Each Thursday, join Dr. Krysti Wick, Chiro's leading women’s coach and business healer, as she explores how to grow your practice from the inside out by leaning on your most underutilized tool— your intuition. Her proven framework has helped hundreds of women grow their practices with patients they love, teams that are loyal, and profit margins that are thriving. Whether you are on a mission to reach new heights with your practice, are desiring a more aligned, purposeful work/life balance, or simply want to lean on someone who’s walked the same path, this is the podcast for you.
What if the key to growing your chiropractic practice isn’t more ads… but more talks? In this video, we dive into an unconventional marketing strategy that’s helping chiropractors build strong referral pipelines—by speaking directly to dentists and dental professionals.
Hear how Jake made a surprising pivot from daycare presentations to dental office seminars—and discovered a powerful way to attract new patients. This approach, powered by the Upright program, gives chiropractors the tools and confidence to lead CE-worthy educational talks that dental teams actually want to attend.
Whether you’re tired of the same old marketing tactics or looking for a fresh edge in your community, this video is your behind-the-scenes look at a strategy that’s turning heads—and filling schedules.

Feeling overwhelmed by patient care and like there's never enough time to move your practice forward?
In this episode of Pull Up a Chair, Dr. Krysti Wick and Dr. Jake Grinaker dive deep into the challenges chiropractors face when trying to work on their business—while still being consumed by working in it.
We’re talking about:
✅ How to find your most productive time (even if it’s just 30 minutes a week)
✅ The mindset shift that will help you finally tackle those big “stuck” to-do’s
✅ Why over-scheduling can actually kill your productivity
✅ And how a small habit shift can free up your evenings to actually enjoy life outside the clinic
If you're a chiropractor who’s constantly saying, “I don’t have time for that,” this one’s for you. It’s time to break through the burnout and build some real momentum.

“As a woman, you are here to be of service. Not to be served”
As much as this gives me a visceral reaction to read it, I can’t deny that it’s a thought process that lives in us epigenetically. It is in the cellular makeup, brought over from generations before us that told us our worth was only in what we could do for others.
Logically - none of us believe that. But could those wounds of worth be bubbling up to the surface and affecting your daily life?
In our final episode of season 2, I dig deep into this cross that women bear—and the ripple effect it can have both personally and professionally if the work is not done to confront the discomfort around it.
Grab a pen and paper, because it’s time to do some genuine reflecting to see if you’re receiving the support you deserve.

Our journeys have been intertwined since the early days as we navigated the entrepreneurial waters together. From opening her practice solely due to a line of credit against her family farm’s beef cattle, to the current day where she owns two locations bringing in almost $2M, her story is nothing short of aspirational.
In this episode, she offers incredible wisdom on:

Fresh off of a 3-week sabbatical in sunny Florida, I have many things to speak on, but most poignantly… I think it’s time we address our profession’s relationship with rest.
As a chronic health issue began to rear its ugly head once more this winter, I couldn’t ignore my gut feeling telling me that a period of prolonged rest is what was needed. But I wasn’t ready to wrestle with the thoughts of “How dare she?” and “Must be nice…” that echoed in my brain.
I followed my intuition, much to the chagrin of others who couldn’t understand my reasoning, and have some tales to tell from the other side of it.
What’s in it for you in this episode…

The 2% is a new segment on Illuminate Your Practice that shines a spotlight on the femalechiropractors that have climbed their way to 7-figure success in practice.
Did you know that 30% of businesses are owned by women, but only 2%— yes, 2%! — break a million dollars in annual revenue?
So I wanted to create a space to satiate our craving to peek “behind the curtain” of these female-owned practices that rose to the 2%.
First up, we have a fellow podcaster and my dear friend: Dr. Lauryn Brunclik!
Dr. Lauryn graduated from Northwestern in 2010 and has spent the last 11 years starting 3 cash, high volume pediatric practices, raising 2 strong willed & empowered daughters, and starting the podcastShe Slays the Day— one of the most downloaded chiropractic podcasts around.
Creating a million dollar cash practice in a low population, low socioeconomic area has forced Dr. Lauryn to perfect patient communication skills, run tight clinic systems and procedures, and dig deep into marketing that converts the ideal patient.
In this conversation with Dr. Lauryn, we skip the fluffy stuff and go straight to the messy (yet, magical) journey that includes:
If you’re looking for a flowery, optimistic episode, this won’t be the one. If you’re ready for a raw, honest chat between two 7-figure female docs, you’re in the right place (and buckle up.)

This week on the pod, I’m going to take you through a guided exercise that directly correlates to the confession session of last week.
In full transparency - I had a little bit of a vulnerability hangover from last week’s episode. But before I knew it, the DM’s started rolling in on Instagram to let me know that the message definitely resonated and was something we’ve all struggled with in this chiro world.
So where do we go from here? It’s time to turn our pain into power - and we’re gonna let our bodies give us the answers we need.

We’re back for season 2, and to begin— I have a confession to make.
I have massive issues with community in Chiropractic.
(Believe me, I know how wild that sounds given my businesses)
It took an extended hiatus to come to grips with an eye-opening realization about the state of our profession. One that I’ve felt beneath the surface for some time but could never really put into words.
Have certain experiences in our industry left you feeling judged? I’m here to shine a light on the fact that those experiences MATTERED and they might be holding you back from what and who you want to be in chiropractic.

It’s the season 1 finale… so you know it’s going to be a juicy one.
After getting the BIG question last weeked, “What would you credit all your success to…?” and finding myself cringing after my generic response of “well, hmm..lots of hard work I suppose,” I realized it was time to seriously reflect on what worked, and what didn’t.
So this week’s episode is all about reflecting on lessons learned in order to recommit to focusing on the RIGHT things in 2022.
These are the 5 biggest things I credit to getting me to where I am today…
...and a lot of them go against everything you’ve been told before.
But this is real life. There is no “one size fits all” approach to success.
It’s about who YOU are, and what YOU learned.
So I hope you use this episode as a framework for you to reflect on what your keys to success are and how you can do more of what’s working and LESS of what’s not in 2022.

Dr. Margie Smith joins me on the podcast this week to talk through how you can achieve the “impossible:” HIGH profitability with LOW stress.
She’s known for her clear, outgoing style of communication and helping chiropractors transition into the cash-based practice of their dreams.
She’s going to walk us through her simplified model of a MicroPractice.
And trust me, it’s NOT what you’re thinking it is.
Her perspective is very different from anything I’ve heard before … but I think it may be the future of chiropractic for a lot of women.
So excited to highlight a different path to practice success – because she has clearly paved one.
**This is going to be such a mind-blowing episode for a lot of us, you don’t want to miss this one.

This week’s “mindset moment” may sting a little.
I’m going over one of the BIGGEST mistakes I see chiropractors make when they’re not seeing the growth they desire in their practice...
…and the simple solution you need to get back on track.
You can NOT ignore this reality if you want to improve your practice profitability.
I’m going to be blunt, straightforward … and may even stir the pot a bit with this one.
BUT sometimes the stir-the-pot-things are the ones that help us the most.
Let me know your thoughts in our free facebook group.
And just a reminder, there are only 2 episodes remaining in season 2 and then I’ll be back in January 2022.

I have had the immense blessing of coaching Delta Stark for nearly 5 years.
She was a true caregiver, a phenomenal friend, a strong warrior, and a savvy business woman.
She was one of the most loving souls I have ever met, one taken way too soon.
Today we honor her & the legacy she built in just 29 short years.

Showing a little bit of vulnerability with this one…
But lately I’ve been REALLY struggling with a shortness of breath.
And often as providers (let me know if you relate to this) we have so much knowledge that it can become overwhelming to know where to start and who to listen to when it comes to our own health.
But recently I had an a-ha moment that my shortness of breath is coming from something much deeper…
Today’s podcast episode is a bit of a vulnerable storytime, but it’s also a lesson in how our physical symptoms always have an energetic root cause.
And I hope it will be an open invitation for you to look inward at what you need to release to live your healthiest, most authentic life, too.

Do you feel like you’re doing all the things right … without any growth?
You’re doing all the tactical things people are telling you to do to grow your practice, but you’re just not seeing the results everyone else seems to be?
What if I told you it’s most likely because you’re not doing the “real work”...?
The mental & emotional work you need to grow personally BEFORE you can grow professionally.
This week’s episode is all about the magic in “doing the work.”
I’ll reveal what happened at Camp Illuminate and how you can implement the breakthroughs in your own life.

This mindset moment comes directly from a VERY interesting comment from one of Dr. Andrea’s patients as they were looking over her scans…

After a week off to travel, prioritize and recenter, I’m delivering a message to those that need a break. The women that desperately need to press pause for a breather, but don’t feel like they have the time or truly deserve one. Because there’s a voice in their head telling them to keep pushing further, faster.
If this is you... Hi! I’m Krysti and we have a lot in common facepalm
The past two weeks helped me identify the limiting beliefs I’ve been grasping on to for too long, and I finally gave myself permission to let them go. And I’m ready to help you let yours go, too.

Have you been more anxious lately, or is it just me? Sometimes the mental exertion of being a healer can take its toll, and I’m no exception.
What does anxiety look like to you?
For me, it’s spending too much time ruminating on the same things. A constant stream of “what-ifs” on a hamster wheel in my head. Not sleeping well because my brain just won’t quiet down.
I have a trusty arsenal of 5 tools that I engage whenever an anxiety spiral rears its ugly head. Some may be new to you, some may be obvious, but if they can provide similar relief for you as they do for me, then it's worth it.

Obituary
Hometown Chiropractic Clinic
Fresh off my latest mastermind event with Kate Northrup, I’ve got some takeaways to share that I gathered while cohabitating with a group of 8 strangers for 72 hours straight.
Were we all business owners? YES
Were we all women? YES
Did we have differing opinions about lifestyles and ideals? OH YES WE DID.
And did we all leave with a mutual respect for one another and a greater sense of community? You’ll have to listen to get the answer on that one ;)
Hear how it all went down—and what lessons I learned along the way—on this week’s episode.

“I’m afraid that people will see me as weird, crazy, or a 'quack' if I say what I really think.”
How many of us can relate to that sentiment?
As health professionals in a world where the mainstream population doesn’t align with our views, it sometimes feels easier to hide than to speak our truth. For fear of misunderstanding. For fear of rejection. For fear of discontinuation of care.
Or maybe you’re loud and proud, sharing your truth to anyone who walks through your doors.
Either way you lean, there is a very delicate balance to be considered when sharing our views and thoughts. Effectively sparking their curiosity, but not overwhelming them nor coming from an angle of judgment.
I’ve definitely made many mistakes in this arena, but I believe I’ve fallen forward enough to have finally landed on a refined approach that has opened many patient minds, while protecting my own beliefs and integrity in the process.
In this episode, I share my stumbles on this rocky road and some tips on how to feel both confident and congruent in your approach going forward.

On this week’s episode of Illuminate Your Practice, I share 5 of my go-to strategies to rise above our primary fears.
These are just a taste of the confessions that women so vulnerably shared in the comments inside our free community group on Facebook...
“I'm afraid people will perceive me as a failure if I don’t strive for high volume PV.”
“I’m afraid people will perceive me as greedy if I ask for payment at time of service.”
“I'm afraid people will perceive me as a bad mom if I am too ambitious.”
Even though I live for overcoming limiting beliefs and mindsets that no longer serve us, I’m not going to lie and say that these perception fears can be overcome.
That doesn’t mean they have to hold us back indefinitely! There are tools you can use to shorten that refractory period when there’s a fear flare-up.
It’s time to bring them to light so you can shine bright!

I didn't even shower before I recorded this episode... if that's any indication of how anxious I was to get these words recorded before they escaped my brain.
Thanks to a quiet walk in the north woods of Wisconsin, (my favorite form of seeking catharsis) I was really able to reflect on how we usually default to one primary fear in our lives.
And when I say "fear" I don't mean heights or spiders. I'm talking about those deep, decision-altering fears that really keep a grip on how we run our day-to-day lives. I've finally pinpointed mine and I'm working on dismantling the web it's built within me.
This quick episode will help you identify yours so you can confront it head it on and begin surrendering to the flow.

As chiropractors, we have a tendency to prioritize our patient hours above all else. So much so, that we will decline events, training opportunities, or meaningful time of inflection if there is a schedule conflict.
But how are we hindering our potential by missing these opportunities? How is it possible to get ahead when we are convinced we don’t have the time to step away to set our goals and intentions?

Or are you super in tune with what is going on in your team members lives and love the connections you've created, but have a hard time starting those difficult conversations when expectations aren't being met?
I'm here to say that there REALLY is a happy middle with this one! (And anyone who tells you otherwise is probably operating with a masculine leadership method.)

Um. Well.

In the last few weeks, how many of you held up that white flag and cried “SOS! I can’t do this by myself anymore!?”
And how many of you held back because…
...you didn’t want to be seen as weak?
...you didn’t want to bother anyone else?
...you felt afraid of letting go and delegating tasks?
Somewhere along the line (maybe it wove itself into our DNA over the generations?) we’ve equated asking for help with failure.
This episode is all about challenging your belief system when it comes to getting help, and how you can reclaim your life by doing so.

Have you heard the concept that you will not have the same team at each level of practice? In my early years, I actually rolled my eyes at the thought. Now with wiser, more experienced eyes, and many team transitions under my belt, I see this concept in a new light.
The reality is— we hire team members with the understanding that they will share our passion for chiropractic and growth and natural health, without truly knowing how invested in the journey they are.
In this episode, I highlight 5 of the key indicators that it may be time to reevaluate your team. Plus, how you can look through a specific lens to determine if a candidate will be fully invested in the growth of your practice.

This may have been the most difficult episode for me to record to date. Revealing my deepest insecurities is not something I enjoy doing, but I have to believe...no, I know...there are other women in our profession that are dealing with shame surrounding this topic. And shame cannot survive once it is brought to light.
“Who do you think you are giving health advice to people when you look like that?”
“If you don’t practice what you preach, no one will believe you.”
These are just a few of the things I was told by fellow chiropractors in my early years. Which, as you can imagine, was just icing on the cake after a youth filled with bullying and a newly-diagnosed eating disorder. I eventually became my own bully when believing that I was not qualified nor worthy enough to be giving out health advice.
Years later, with lessons from the (mostly) other side, I’m ready to dismantle the ideology that we must be “perfect” health role models in order to provide the care our patients deserve.

We’ve reached the final installment of the 3-part series where I’m revealing the things I wish I would’ve known about in my first 5 years of practice. And if you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while you probably have a hunch what this one’s gonna be about…
You guessed it - care plans!
I delve into my thinking behind each unique patient care plan I curate, the neurological implications of your care plan length, and what chiropractic school should’ve taught us along the way.

My #1 most requested guest has finally graced Illuminate Your Practice with his presence— my husband, Joe!
For those of you new to the podcast, Joe is the CFO of both my chiropractic practice and coaching biz. He’s the number-crunching, spreadsheet-lovin’ half of our marriage, and he’s a crucial member of the Illuminate team when it comes to our Squad members’ financial goals.
This episode is best digested with a pen and paper in hand, so you can jot down all of Joe’s best tips for chiros when it comes to nurturing your financial health - both personally and in business!

On my own podcast playlist, some of my favorite episodes to listen to are those that feature personal and professional stories of growth. There is something about hearing another person’s twists and turns on their path and being able to identify those parallels on your OWN journey to know that you are not alone.
Within my coaching group, I see so many of these remarkable stories and realized I was doing you all a disservice by not bringing them to you sooner!
On our first case study episode I was lucky enough to be joined by a brilliant DC that I’ve had the pleasure of working with on the Illuminated Squad— Dr. Kate Williams of Well Within Chiropractic in Appleton, WI. We touch on the topics of finding the right coaching fit, balancing motherhood and running a practice, and truly having more while working less.

This is part two of the 3-part series where I’m revealing the things I wish I would’ve known about in my first 5 years of practice. And I’m gonna get on my soapbox for this one.
Did you know that upwards of 80% of chiropractors have money issues? It’s not lost on me that the foundation of chiropractic is “give, love, serve,” but we’ve gotta draw the line somewhere when we’re spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on our education and expertise...and then losing money with each adjustment.
Dig in with me on this episode where we discuss money mindset and identifying your limiting beliefs when it comes to collecting what you are worth.

This is part one of a 3-part series where I’m revealing the things I wish I would’ve known about in my first 5 years of practice. I think we've all struggled with these in one way or another when we left Chiropractic school and were tasked with being doctors and business owners. The hurdles in practice growth, the communication of Chiropractic, the mindset limitations… where’s the easy button?!
Well (spoiler alert) there isn’t - but there are definitely some things that, had I implemented them earlier, would have made that hard season of life much shorter, and catapulted my growth that much sooner!
You can learn the lessons yourself, or you can just hear from mine and spare yourself the not-so-pretty stuff ;)
--> I’m confident that I wouldn’t have seen 80-90% of the incredible things I’ve witnessed in my practice if it weren’t for the CLA INSiGHT. This has been the game-changer for me.

You’re not alone if you feel like you need a crash course on boundaries, work/life balance, and time management. Let’s be real - no matter how disciplined we are, it’s only human to fall back into patterns where we feel like we’re running a race that will never end.
Through time and practice, I’ve found 2 ways that regularly help me snap back into a groove that feels both sustainable and congruent with my life priorities. Whether you default to a “work-more” mindset or a “can’t-get-motivated” mindset, these simple strategies can help bring you back to center and restore your harmony.

The universe has a funny way of stopping you in your tracks when you’re just chugging along in your day-to-day grind.
In this Mindset Moment episode, I reflect on some recent personnel changes that shook me a bit, but were also the perfect reminder from the universe to prioritize consistency in my desired growth and long-term goals.
It may get you thinking to yourself, “What has been helpful for me that I’m no longer consistent with?"

If you're using the word 'subluxation' in your outward marketing, it's time to stop.
This is just one of the lessons learned in today's chat with Instagram coach, Molly Cahill.
Before becoming the social media maven she is today, Molly was a young mom that pursued chiropractic for pain relief. It took her about 10 years to adopt the wellness mindset from chiropractic, and in that time realized what so many chiros are missing in their messaging.
She has since harnessed her skills as a sales and marketing pro to focus onhow to communicate the chiropractic mission into a simple language that clarifies—not confuses— prospective patients and gets them to convert.

(psst...listen to episode 7 prior to this episode if you haven't yet)
If you’ve noticed your business page on Facebook has seen considerably less traction over the past year, you aren’t alone. Facebook itself has admitted to giving algorithm preference to group posts over page posts. This means your posts within a group are far more likely to show up in your patient's newsfeed.
In addition to greater social exposure, a group specifically for your patient community can foster greater holistic education, deepened connections, and optimize your retention — boom!
You might be wondering…”Where do I even begin on a Facebook group for patients?!” Well I’ll dig in on the episode and give you the keys to start up successfully.

Do you wanna know what most women suck at? Celebrating the WINS in their lives! (Yes, I’m looking at you.) We are exceptionally skilled at conquering a task or achieving a goal and then moving on to the next one without giving the prior another thought. Well, persevering through 2020 deserves a damn celebration, so I’m going to challenge you to pause and reflect.
This episode works almost as a journaling exercise of sorts, as I help you look through new lenses in which you can discover new avenues of accomplishments. It’s vital for you to celebrate the positive things, so take this time to honor your power, your innate wisdom, work ethic, and so on, so you can end this year with an attitude of gratitude.

In the beginning of my years in practice, I remember constantly asking people ahead of me on my journey, “What’s your secret sauce?!”
Well... spoiler alert. There is no “secret sauce.” There is no effective “Grow Your Practice Quick!” scheme. The fact of the matter is — your growth will take time and repetition.
To this day, the #1 thing that has built, and continues to grow, my thriving, multi-doc family practice is, you guessed it— REFERRALS. I know, I know. I don’t expect you to be surprised by that fact. But what I am going to bring to light in this episode is the barrier that often arises between when a patient recommends you to someone and what gets them to convert. **This right here is the secret sauce, if there ever was one.

On the heels of last week’s episode with Kate Northrup, I have a real treat for you!Earlier this year, I attended Kate’s Origin mastermind with a group high-level female entrepreneurs (and by high-level, I mean several of them bringing in 7-figures.) I was both fascinated and intrigued to know how all of these women could break through the hustle mindset and see bountiful personal and professional success using Kate’s “Do Less” method of cyclical productivity‚ especially because it continues to be a work-in-progress for myself!
Throughout my three days with these women, who all have diverse career paths and specialties, I discovered 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS that wove the golden thread that connected us all on our trajectories. Follow along as I dig into each of these 5 areas to see which action steps you can take and reflection points you can make to move your personal and professional growth forward.
The book I referred to in the episode was Patriarchy Stress Disorder by Valerie Rein, PhD

**One of my favorite people in the WORLD joins the podcast today! Kate Northrup—author, business coach, (my very own) mentor— visits the show to have a vulnerable conversation with me about the importance of discovering your calling, the toxic undertone of the word “selfless,” and her passion for regenerative business. We then dive into the topic of succeeding in life and business via the traditional (ahem, patriarchal) linear path, versus tuning in to our natural, cyclical energies to really propel our growth and facilitate ease.

2020, hey? What a year indeed. Despite the never-ending curveballs that this year has thrown (and continues to throw), my practice —along with my clients’ practices— have gone from an active recovery phase to full-out thriving. Don’t get me wrong... most of us had at least 2-4 months in 2020 that were just...blah. But now we're on track to break all previous years’ records, and it wasn’t from luck. How’d we make it happen? In this episode, I dive into the 3 KEY strategies we’ve implemented to not only make our practice “2020 proof”, but also positioned for continuous growth year over year.
