In this powerful episode of The Unbroken Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Phillip Guison, Doctor of Chiropractic and owner of his own practice, to talk about a journey that took unexpected turns—and demanded relentless resilience.
Phillip originally set his sights on becoming a pharmacist, but while working toward that goal, someone told him something that changed everything: "You'd be great at chiropractic." That simple statement planted a seed that ultimately redirected his entire career path. Phillip shares how he made the leap, trusted the process, and built a successful chiropractic practice rooted in helping others feel and move better.
But his story doesn't stop there.
Phillip opens up about his battle with stage 4 cancer, including the frightening and frustrating process of knowing something was wrong—and having to beg doctors to take him seriously. He walks us through how he finally got answers, what the diagnosis meant, and the physical and mental fight that followed as he pushed through treatment.
When Phillip was eventually considered cancer-free, he didn't just return to "normal." Instead, he set a new, audacious goal: competing in a bodybuilding show. Not only did he do it—he did really well. Phillip shares what that experience meant to him, how it reshaped his mindset, and why he plans to continue competing in the future.
This episode is about listening to your body, advocating for yourself, redefining limits, and choosing to keep pushing forward—no matter how heavy the setback. Phillip's story is raw, inspiring, and a perfect example of what it truly means to be Unbroken.
