I’m doing all the right things. I’m working out, I’m getting up at 5am, I stopped caffeine or stopped drinking alcohol…
I see this a lot within the profession as a whole. The idea is you want to be a better, healthier person. You want to be a good example for your patients, you want to feel great, have more energy. If you do this, you’ll be a better practitioner. If you do these things, your practice will follow and also be healthier.
But then your practice doesn’t grow.
Having healthy routines, while good for you, means absolutely nothing for your practice.
The only thing that helps your practice is actually working in, and on, your practice. Your practice doesn’t care if you met a PR in CrossFit. It doesn’t care if you can do splits, hand-stands, back flips, or if you eat clean.
In fact, oftentimes these things are another distraction and a way to avoid working on your actual practice.
There are many broke “healthy” people.
Health and wealth is an overall measurement of your life. Not a single stat.
So you quit alcohol? Got off caffeine? Started doing enemas? Meditate for 2 hours?
Great! Your practice doesn’t care.
OF COURSE you want of be healthy and feel great. But my point is…is your practice?
And are you doing more for your health as a distraction or because you’re avoiding something else?
It’s all about balance. And not making a mountain out of a mole hill. Simply do that food drive in your clinic. Reach out to local media. Do that talk. Have that in-house event. Call your local rotary. Find the health fairs. Hand your patients business cards and tell them to refer people. Follow up with patients that fell off your schedule. Be a part of your community, not just another business within it.
There aren’t secrets. It’s just hustle.

Anyone near Dallas zip code 75034? I have someone who moved to Dallas and was looking for a practitioner.
@JoshuaSwart ASE seminar directory is still down.
I have a patient with post herpatic neuralgia affecting his upper back and chest. I have been treating him 3x a week with the upper perfusion treatment, first at 2hz, then at about treatment 6 with mixed frequency from 2hz-100hz. I have treated him 8 or 9 times with no change. Should I be doing something different?
Hello!
I started treating a patient (male 80y, very active – former professional athlete) who had radiation therapy (2024) applied to his throat and lower face areas, following a throat cancer. The radiation therapy had a heavy impact on his salivary glands, resulting in xerostomia (dry mouth).
The principles of my treatment plan include:
1. Electroacupuncture: Stimulate the involved nerves, i.e. the parasympathetic fibers of the glossopharyngeal (parotid gland) and the facial (submandibular & sublingual glands) nerves.
2. Electroacupuncture: Increase blood flow to the salivary glands.
3. Manual acupuncture: Improve the overall body fluids metabolism (TCM approach).
As for the EA, I am applying the 2-needle technique to the following pairs:
2Hz: RN23 – SI17 (for submandibular & sublingual glands)
5Hz: SJ17 – ST7 (for parotid gland)
QUESTIONS:
1. Did anybody have a similar case? If yes, how did you treat it and with what level of success?
2. Do you think that the ...
