Dr. Allie Wright interviews Dr. Sam Grimes of Foundations Chiropractic in Wisconsin on how becoming a mom reshaped her communication with moms in practice. Dr. Sam shares her shift from a pain-based model to pediatrics and perinatal care after two difficult births, and how her daughter Wren's seizures resolved quickly once INSiGHT scans revealed a C1 to C2 pattern, prompting her to go all-in on PX and neurotonal care. She covers addressing shame around birth outcomes, leading consults by listening first, building hope through neuroplasticity and co-regulation, and the team systems that keep goals and wins on track while balancing ownership with family life.

Dr. Tony Ebel introduces the Family Practice Podcast and answers a chiropractic student’s question about whether a pediatric and family, subluxation-based cash practice needs to add decompression and shockwave to be financially viable. He explains why many practices add these services. He argues a true family practice doesn’t need them because it benefits from low-cost referrals, lower lead acquisition costs, high retention, and monthly recurring revenue from long-term family wellness plans. He invites listeners interested in converting models to his Pain to Peds program and a free webinar.

Dr. Tony Ebel delivers a MAHA update from inside the Chiropractic MAHA Hub, the historic alignment between the ICA, the ACA, and MAHA leadership turning decades of division into real, funded momentum. He breaks down the early wins already in motion, the Medicare Modernization Bill, VA access for veterans, research funding, reimbursement, and equity, and the message he delivered himself in DC: nervous system first, subluxation-based care first, pediatric and family chiropractic first. The reception from policymakers was strong, including interest in funding research. Tony calls on the profession to stop sitting on the sidelines, donate, contact legislators, and help make chiropractic the first call for families, not the last.
