ChiroShift is back with a new season, and we’re kicking it off by revisiting one of the core themes of the podcast: redefining what it means to be a chiropractor. In this episode, David Newton is joined by returning cohost Taylor Goldberg to share her full story, from competitive cheerleading and chronic injury, to chiropractic school, burnout in a high-volume practice, and ultimately building a successful, non-traditional career as a hypermobility-focused coach.
Taylor walks through the identity crises that shaped her path, including leaving pre-med, navigating a chiropractic education that didn’t align with her values, and a pivotal injury that forced her to question the safety and role of adjustments, especially for hypermobile patients. Her experience ultimately led her to challenge traditional chiropractic models and prove that high-value, evidence-based care does not have to revolve around volume, manual therapy, or outdated philosophies.
The conversation expands into what evidence-based care actually means today, why clinical practice guidelines matter, and how chiropractors can ethically build thriving practices without sacrificing their integrity. David and Taylor discuss the limitations of manual-only care, the importance of outcomes over dogma, and how technology, coaching, and hybrid or virtual models allow clinicians to create real, lasting change in patients’ lives.
This episode sets the tone for the new season of ChiroShift, highlighting clinicians who are breaking the mold, choosing their own path, and reshaping healthcare from the inside out.
If you’ve ever questioned your role in the profession, felt misaligned in practice, or wondered if there’s another way to be a chiropractor, this conversation is for you.
