That means going at their speed, performing examination procedures that they are ok with, doing adjustments that their nerve system tells you they are ready for. Not doing what we want to do, but doing what they are capable of handling at that moment. This is called being Polyvagally-informed.

Dr Rubin passionately discusses the concept of Neurodiversity...accepting kids (and adults) where they are in their social communication abilities. People with Autism are not disabled...they are differently-abled. Some people with Autism are not non-verbal...they are minimally speaking.

Dr Rubin, in this commencement speech given to the graduating class of Summer 2019, implores the graduates to move beyond the idea of being "just a chiropractor." He leads them to align with the bigger mission and purpose, which is to give, to love and to serve. As BJ Palmer once said, "Get the big idea, all else follows."2019-10-0111 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 312: Student loans & strategies to become debt freeStudent loan debt today can blast past $200,000 and that can certainly be a daunting sum if you think about it too much.

Even that many centuries ago, they knew alignment was critical. If they wanted to see the sun through the stones on June 21st, they had to be set up in extremely specific ways. If we want the brain and the nerve system to perform optimally, then the spinal column requires that same specific alignment. A related question then would be, "what are you aligned with?" Dr. Rubin explores these topics as he shows pictures from his tour at Stonehenge in June.2019-07-2322 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 307: Talking about NutritionIf you take care of children, especially special needs kids, you will invariably discuss the topic of nutrition.

Listen as Dr. Rubin explains his take on 'diets'...2019-07-0210 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 303: Change their Brains, Change their Life!Trajectories. It's all about trajectories.

That was Dr. Rubin's passionate question at the 2019 Autism One conference, where he was honored to be one of the speakers. Listen as Dr. Rubin lays out the problem and then offers a plan of action to reach the kids who need it the most.2019-06-0445 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 295: Bohemian RhapsodyMost likely Freddie Mercury of Queen did not read BJ Palmer's "Bigness of the Fellow Within". But he did write, in Queen's hit song, We Are The Champions, that he "considers it a challenge before the human race." Dr. Rubin feels Freddie Mercury was talking about chiropractic...and our challenge is getting chiropractic to the masses. You've heard the statement, "If they knew what we knew, they'd do what we do!" Why hasn't chiropractic reached critical mass yet? That is the challenge Dr. Rubin offers you: can we get the entire country adjusted?2019-04-0918 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 289: "Neuroskeleton" & "Functionating"DD Palmer in his 1914 book The Chiropractor made some revolutionary comments, including mentioning what he called the 'neuroskeleton.' That is a brilliant foreshadowing of today's more neurologically based chiropractic. He also coined a term 'functionating', which described how optimum the nerve system's tone was (tone being another favorite of DD's). Listen in as Dr. Rubin explains to Logan University via webinar what DD Palmer is saying to the 21st century chiropractor.2019-02-2827 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 287: The Love of My LifeLove is a very overused word.

We need each of them to use all of them, and in this podcast, Dr Rubin will explain how they dovetail together.2019-02-0520 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 282: Lyme Disease & PANDASLyme and PANDAS are a part of a growing set of issues known as Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders. Watching trends for the last 30 years, Dr Rubin recalls a time when Lyme was relatively infrequent and PANDAS was unheard of. Now we are seeing more and more kids with one or sometimes both of these challenges. And we are finding that once you develop either, you are prone to relapses.2019-01-2911 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 280: The 7 Habits of a Successful Pediatric PracticeWhat makes a successful pediatric chiropractic practice?

Or how many children have eyes that are not working together? Dr. Rubin began noticing this trend years ago when he started working with kids on the spectrum and with infants with developmental issues, but never heard it put so concisely as he did when he heard about the new book, Crooked, by Forrest Maready. To add to Mr. Maready's work, Dr. Rubin suggests that the environment and epigenetics can be added to the list of causative factors. Fascinating stuff...listen on!2019-01-1118 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 264: Keeping on top of the researchThings have changed so much since Dr Rubin started in practice almost 30 years ago. The number one reason to see a child in 1989 was...ear infections! Now, even though that is still high on the list, the number one reason is neurodevelopmental or neurobehavioral disorders. Dr. Rubin explains the rise in challenges like Lyme Disease, depression, and anxiety, in context of why it is so important to keep on learning and researching.2018-11-2108 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 258: Concussions & Autism Share CharacteristicsChildren with post concussion syndrome and children with high functioning Autism share a number of characteristics, according to recent research.

Dr. Rubin uses the example of a box with 16 squares to illustrate this valuable point.2018-10-1813 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 253: The Greatest Threat, Part 3What are the solutions to the greatest threat to health today? Dr Rubin explores the answers in the last of the 3 part series. It's often been said, "What can one person do?" The answer is: a lot more than doing nothing!

His words are truer today than ever before!2018-10-1618 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 251: The Number 1 Health Threat of the 21st CenturyThe Number 1 Health Threat of the 21st Century is a 3 part series!

Stay tuned for Parts 2 & 3, and thanks to Adam B. for helping with the recordings.2018-10-0920 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 247: Pediatric ConcussionsThe incidence of pediatric concussion has skyrocketed.

Chiropractors are uniquely qualified to help kids with concussion, since our focus is the brain, spine and nerve system. Listen as Dr. Rubin discusses this during a webinar for the Pediatric Summit. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4989377/2018-09-2020 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 246: Something from nothingDo we realize how all of us evolve from practically nothing? At one point we are but 2 microscopic cells. 40 trillion cells later and here we are! Amazing! That's how the universe works. It has the ability to change nothing into something. Dr. Rubin shows how this works in our lives too...if you look around, you can see examples of grass growing through cracks in the sidewalk, proving how with determination, you can overcome almost anything to succeed!2018-09-1816 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 239: The Fallacy of "I'm Fine."How many times has a patient or friend said to you, "I'm fine" but you knew that something was 'up'? We have the unique ability to pick up on these cues and Dr. Rubin suggests you train your brain to be a radar for the subtle signs of distress. One way that this can be trained is by actively looking at works of art and seeing how many details you can notice in a short period of time.2018-08-2412 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 235: What Is Wrong with Our Brains?Autism, ADHD, Concussions, Seizures, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's...all on the rise!

Dr Rubin believes the best way is to start small and go big. Your practice members aren't coming to see you because you have the prettiest office in town. You are attracting them in droves because of who YOU are, how YOU take care of them, what YOU say to them. It's not about what's outside...it's about what inside that counts. Sound familiar? ADIO (above-down, inside out). It works to heal a body and to build a practice!2018-08-0213 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 233: Lost chiropractic books revisitedHave you ever read Stephenson's "The Art of Chiropractic?" Or Fred Barge's "Life Without Fear?" 2 classic chiropractic texts that are not very well known, but with Dr. Rubin's help, he brings them to life as he discusses them with the Logan University Philosophy Group.

If it can help med students it certainly can help chiropractic students!2018-07-2315 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 230: Glimmer Of HopeUltimately the most important thing that chiropractors do is not adjust the patient but to teach them, inspire them, give them hope. Dr. Rubin talks about how sometimes patients come in hearing over and over again from other well-meaning providers, teachers, and parents what's wrong with them. How about we focus on what's right with them? What they can do? What's possible? That's what hope is all about!2018-07-1917 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 226: Upper extremity visual diagnostic cluesThis is the 8th in the series of Visual Diagnostic Improvement podcasts that started back with Episode 203.

Do you do as you say you're going to do? Dr. Rubin explains how Dr. Sid Williams changed his life in July 1993.

Dr. Rubin gives 3 examples of 'line crossing.'2018-05-1918 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 212: Brain Injury & AutismIs Autism a sort of brain injury?

Are there disconnections in the brain that are chemically, genetically or traumatically induced? Dr Rubin discusses this theory and backs it up with research.2018-05-1121 minChirocastChirocastEpisode 211: The importance of the craniumMost people never think about the importance of the cranium (or skull) especially in children, unless it is directly injured.
