INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Dr Peter Kevorkian is a chiropractor, educator, international speaker, and President of Life Chiropractic College West. We spoke about why he believes chiropractic care belongs in proactive health, not only crisis care. He argues that more people are moving away from waiting for pain, illness, or breakdown before caring for the body, and toward asking how they can become healthier, stronger, and more adaptive.
He explains chiropractic through the spine and nervous system, but not as an isolated “back problem.” As he puts it, “the body is one integral unit,” where physical structure, psychology, emotion, and vitality influence one another. He compares regular spinal care to dental care: you do not only see a dentist when something hurts; you care for your mouth to protect and optimize its function. His view is that the spine deserves at least the same attention, “from the day you're born till the day you die.”
We also spoke about children in chiropractic care, the limits of symptom-based healthcare, the role of data and intuition in caregiving, and why the relationship between practitioner and patient matters. For listeners considering the profession, Dr Kevorkian describes chiropractic as work where “all you need is your hands and your heart,” and where students must grow personally in order to serve others well.
This conversation gives listeners a concrete way to rethink health: not only as fixing symptoms, but as supporting the body’s capacity, resilience, and human potential.
