Understanding these processes and their dynamic and intricate interplay holds a significant promise for addressing neurological conditions and achieving positive clinical outcomes.
In this presentation, Joanne Boyd will explore innovative botanicals aimed at supporting neuronal resilience and leveraging the brain’s inherent plasticity while modulating inflammatory processes.
Learning Objectives
- Gain valuable insights into the role of neuroinflammation in various neurological disorders and conditions such as traumatic brain injury, mood disorders and dementia.
- Deepen your understanding of neuroplasticity and the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt.
- Explore innovative botanical ingredients, their mechanisms of actions, and the emerging evidence of their ability to promote neuroplasticity and modulate inflammatory processes.
- Acquire practical and relevant protocols and strategies you will be confident to implement the next day in clinic.

Identifying Interferences in the Revenue Cycle System
Regional Event: nationalStart Date: 08/22/2025 1:00 pmEnd Date: 08/22/2025 2:40 pmLocation: Bayhill 17Just as providers assess patients to uncover interferences that impact health — leading to symptoms and conditions — we can apply the same diagnostic approach to the revenue cycle system.
Your practice’s revenue cycle can also present with “symptoms” when something’s off:
- Claims rejections
- Denials
- Recoupments
- Audit risks
- Patient balance confusion
- Disruptions in clinic/patient relationships— and more.
While the revenue cycle system is imperfect, these interferences can be identified and addressed to minimize the revenue cycle challenges that healthcare facilities are often struggling with.

Brad Glowaki DC
Brad Glowaki is one of the most sought after speakers in the profession because he is still in practice, at the MOST elite level, in so many different categories. His practice is high volume, high profile, highly profitable, & it’s all run with vitalistic communication procedures. Those procedures from his office are then shared with other chiropractors at his various trainings.
In practice, his patients include current Stanley cup winners, Olympic gold medalists, Rock-N-Roll Hall of Famers, Superbowl champions, and perhaps most exciting: he takes care of those athletes’ children too. However, he’s in a VERY high-volume office, so most of the patients are not high profile. They are highly educated on chiropractic care for so much more beyond pain & symptoms. Many patients stay on for wellness visits at a weekly frequency for life and it’s independent of insurance payments or coverage. True value is conveyed through his procedures.
In California, there are over 10,000 chiropractors and in 2008, he was named “Chiropractor of the Year.” He was also named the 2009 CLA International Ambassador. In 2012, he was the Parker seminars “International Chiropractor of the Year.”
As a speaker, Brad teaches with a unique perspective that he calls: “from in the TReNch”. The reason he has that point of view is that he has practice experience from yesterday! His content is relevant, cutting edge, and his signature feedback forms always state: “You over-deliver!” Dr. Glow always delivers refined content that is battle-tested and simplified for use on Monday.
A passionate speaker, husband & father of four children, Dr. Glow will tell you, after his family, his greatest achievement is the hundreds of chiropractors that he has helped. Most specifically the ones that have doubled their income and simultaneously doubled their time off with their family. His mantra of “360° of Success’’ is putting an end to the thinking of success at all costs.

Disconnected & Dysregulated: Chiropractic and Biohacking Insights on Stress & The Modern Nervous System
Regional Event: nationalStart Date: 08/21/2025 3:20 pmEnd Date: 08/21/2025 5:00 pmLocation: Windermere YZYour patients today face escalating societal health risks tied to the decline of meaningful human connection, driven by rising isolation and digital addiction. These factors disrupt neurotransmitter regulation, weaken immune response, impair emotional regulation, and reduce cognitive focus – all of which present hidden risks to patient health and outcomes.
This session provides chiropractors with a risk-focused framework for identifying and responding to these patterns within their scope of practice. By exploring the critical intersection of stress, vagus nerve function, and the biopsychosocial model — including daily, physical, biochemical, and psychological stressors — practitioners will gain a deeper understanding of how chronic stress compromises vagal tone and autonomic regulation.
Failure to recognize and address these stress-related dysfunctions can increase risk to both practitioner and patient, potentially leading to poorer clinical outcomes and missed opportunities for intervention.
By integrating holistic, evidence-informed strategies, chiropractors can strengthen patient regulation, resilience, and recovery — ultimately reducing clinical risk and enhancing long-term health outcomes in an increasingly disconnected world.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the four primary types of stress impact vagus nerve function and patient health.
- Apply the biopsychosocial model to chiropractic assessment and intervention for stress-related dysfunction.

Disconnected & Dysregulated: Chiropractic and Biohacking Insights on Stress & The Modern Nervous System
Regional Event: nationalStart Date: 08/21/2025 3:20 pmEnd Date: 08/21/2025 5:00 pmLocation: Windermere YZYour patients today face escalating societal health risks tied to the decline of meaningful human connection, driven by rising isolation and digital addiction. These factors disrupt neurotransmitter regulation, weaken immune response, impair emotional regulation, and reduce cognitive focus – all of which present hidden risks to patient health and outcomes.
This session provides chiropractors with a risk-focused framework for identifying and responding to these patterns within their scope of practice. By exploring the critical intersection of stress, vagus nerve function, and the biopsychosocial model — including daily, physical, biochemical, and psychological stressors — practitioners will gain a deeper understanding of how chronic stress compromises vagal tone and autonomic regulation.
Failure to recognize and address these stress-related dysfunctions can increase risk to both practitioner and patient, potentially leading to poorer clinical outcomes and missed opportunities for intervention.
By integrating holistic, evidence-informed strategies, chiropractors can strengthen patient regulation, resilience, and recovery — ultimately reducing clinical risk and enhancing long-term health outcomes in an increasingly disconnected world.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the four primary types of stress impact vagus nerve function and patient health.
- Apply the biopsychosocial model to chiropractic assessment and intervention for stress-related dysfunction.
- Alleviating risk for the practitioner and patient by identifying evidence-based chiropractic and holistic strategies for addressing each type of stress.

Cognitive Resilience: The Interdependent Roles of Nitric Oxide and Vagus Nerve for Lifelong Neuroplasticity
Regional Event: nationalStart Date: 08/22/2025 1:00 pmEnd Date: 08/22/2025 2:40 pmLocation: Windermere YZThis presentation will explore the interplay between nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, vagus nerve signaling in neuroplasticity as a pillar of cognitive resilience. Dr. Habib will discuss the latest research on dietary and supplemental nitrate sources that enhance NO production, improving cerebral blood flow, reducing neuroinflammation, and supporting memory consolidation. Attendees will learn how vagus nerve afferents relay gut-derived NO and microbial metabolites to the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), triggering acetylcholine release in the cerebrum.
Activation of this vagal pathway promotes microglial M2 polarization-a state critical for synaptic pruning, neurotrophic factor release, and lifelong neuroplasticity. Clinical insights include vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) protocols that slow hypertension progression and mitigate age-related cognitive decline by preserving autonomic balance and suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Practical applications highlight nitrate-rich diets and VNS as tools to optimize the “microbiota-mouth-brain axis” for cognitive health.
This session bridges molecular mechanisms with translational strategies, equipping attendees to leverage NO-Vagus pathways for cognitive resilience across the lifespan.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze the role of dietary nitrates in enhancing NO bioavailability and their impact on cerebral blood flow, inflammation, and memory.
- Explain how vagus nerve afferent signaling integrates gut-derived NO with NTS activation to modulate acetylcholine release and microglial M2 states.
- Evaluate evidence linking vagus nerve signaling to improved autonomic tone, neuroinflammation reduction, and survival in hypertensive models.
- Design interventions combining nitrate supplementation, microbiota modulation, and non-invasive VNS to sustain neuroplasticity in aging populations.

From Practice to Publication: Research-Grade Documentation for Chiropractors in Precision Bone-Joint Care
Regional Event: nationalStart Date: 08/22/2025 3:20 pmEnd Date: 08/22/2025 5:00 pmLocation: Windermere XDespite chiropractic’s essential role in musculoskeletal health, its clinical impact often goes underrecognized due to a lack of consistent, research-grade documentation. This course aims to bridge that gap by providing chiropractors with a practical framework for recording, analyzing, and contributing credible clinical data that aligns with scientific and regulatory standards.
In Part 1, we examine a published Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved Human Randomized Controlled Trial (h-RCT) in bone and joint health. The course outlines how patient histories, inclusion and exclusion criteria, serum biomarkers, and clinical progress were systematically documented to support both treatment evaluation and publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Attendees will learn how these principles of research-grade documentation can be applied in a chiropractic setting.
In Part 2, we shift to a forward-looking opportunity: a planned multi-site observational study that invites chiropractors to participate by recording non-invasive, real-world outcomes such as pain, mobility, and fatigue. Using a digital platform that is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), clinicians will be able to submit structured data that may inform future publications comparing chiropractic care alone versus in combination with targeted, evidence-based nutritional protocols.
This course is more than a continuing education session—it is an invitation to elevate chiropractic through structured, credible, research-grade documentation and collaborative clinical research.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the role of research-grade documentation in validating chiropractic outcomes.
- Apply clinical methods for tracking bone turnover and inflammation markers in a documented, publishable format.
- Learn from a completed IRB-approved study how rigorous documentation supports ethical, scientific, and regulatory standards.
- Explore secure digital tools for collecting structured patient-reported outcomes in real-world chiropractic settings.

Disconnected & Dysregulated: Chiropractic and Biohacking Insights on Stress & The Modern Nervous System
Regional Event: nationalStart Date: 08/21/2025 3:20 pmEnd Date: 08/21/2025 5:00 pmLocation: Windermere YZYour patients today face escalating societal health risks tied to the decline of meaningful human connection, driven by rising isolation and digital addiction. These factors disrupt neurotransmitter regulation, weaken immune response, impair emotional regulation, and reduce cognitive focus – all of which present hidden risks to patient health and outcomes.
This session provides chiropractors with a risk-focused framework for identifying and responding to these patterns within their scope of practice. By exploring the critical intersection of stress, vagus nerve function, and the biopsychosocial model — including daily, physical, biochemical, and psychological stressors — practitioners will gain a deeper understanding of how chronic stress compromises vagal tone and autonomic regulation.
Failure to recognize and address these stress-related dysfunctions can increase risk to both practitioner and patient, potentially leading to poorer clinical outcomes and missed opportunities for intervention.
By integrating holistic, evidence-informed strategies, chiropractors can strengthen patient regulation, resilience, and recovery — ultimately reducing clinical risk and enhancing long-term health outcomes in an increasingly disconnected world.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the four primary types of stress impact vagus nerve function and patient health.
- Apply the biopsychosocial model to chiropractic assessment and intervention for stress-related dysfunction.
- Alleviating risk for the practitioner and patient by identifying evidence-based chiropractic and holistic strategies for addressing each type of stress.
- Explore the integration of Polyvagal Theory chiropractic practice to support emotional and physiological regulation.

A Foundation Course: Neurological Dry Needling for Pain Management & Sports Rehabilitation
Regional Event: seStart Date: 06/13/2025 8:00 amEnd Date: 06/13/2025 6:00 pmLocation: Oceanside 1 & 2Neurological Dry Needling for Pain Management & Sports Rehabilitation (Foundation course) (3-day) develops the knowledge and clinical skills required to effectively assess and dry needle painful neuromuscular conditions. This course teaches participants to treat the body locally, segmentally, and systemically; we do not divide the body up into upper and lower halves requiring you to take 2 courses before being able to need the entire body. Our system is built on the foundation of Neurological Dry Needling that focuses on peri-neural and perivascular needling to normalize inflammation ( neurogenic ), microcirculation, and reduce soft tissue guarding. Our peripheral nerve mapping model is a logical and systemic process that elevates the clinical application of dry needling by needling more than just muscles. Various needling techniques are practiced including the use of electrical nerve stimulation to provide participants with a variety of safe and effective treatment options.
Learning Objectives
- Correctly identify and apply proper precautions related to blood borne pathogens related to the clinical practice of dry needling therapy from the course pre-reading.
- Independently identify and apply dry needling to each of the three types of trigger points (homeostatic, paravertebral and symptomatic) in a given case study.

Disconnected & Dysregulated: Chiropractic and Biohacking Insights on Stress & The Modern Nervous System
Regional Event: nationalStart Date: 08/21/2025 3:20 pmEnd Date: 08/21/2025 5:00 pmLocation: Windermere YZYour patients today face escalating societal health risks tied to the decline of meaningful human connection, driven by rising isolation and digital addiction. These factors disrupt neurotransmitter regulation, weaken immune response, impair emotional regulation, and reduce cognitive focus – all of which present hidden risks to patient health and outcomes.
This session provides chiropractors with a risk-focused framework for identifying and responding to these patterns within their scope of practice. By exploring the critical intersection of stress, vagus nerve function, and the biopsychosocial model — including daily, physical, biochemical, and psychological stressors — practitioners will gain a deeper understanding of how chronic stress compromises vagal tone and autonomic regulation.
Failure to recognize and address these stress-related dysfunctions can increase risk to both practitioner and patient, potentially leading to poorer clinical outcomes and missed opportunities for intervention.
By integrating holistic, evidence-informed strategies, chiropractors can strengthen patient regulation, resilience, and recovery — ultimately reducing clinical risk and enhancing long-term health outcomes in an increasingly disconnected world.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the four primary types of stress impact vagus nerve function and patient health.
- Apply the biopsychosocial model to chiropractic assessment and intervention for stress-related dysfunction.
- Alleviating risk for the practitioner and patient by identifying evidence-based chiropractic and holistic strategies for addressing each type of stress.
- Explore the integration of Polyvagal Theory chiropractic practice to support emotional and physiological regulation.

Compassionomics: The Scientific Evidence that Caring Makes a Difference
Regional Event: nationalStart Date: 08/23/2025 8:00 amEnd Date: 08/23/2025 9:40 amLocation: Windermere YZRecent data indicate that healthcare is in the midst of a compassion crisis. But a pivotal question is this: Does compassion really matter?
Healthcare workers have always had a moral and ethical imperative to treat patients with compassion, and compassion is a cornerstone of the “art” of medicine. But is compassion just in the art of medicine, or are there also evidence-based effects of compassion belonging in the science of medicine?
In this presentation, Dr. Trzeciak will share the findings of his two-year journey through the scientific literature to test the hypothesis that compassion matters – for patients, for patient care, and for those who care for patients. Compelling research shows that compassion has measurable beneficial effects on patients across a wide variety of conditions and moves patients to take better care of themselves. Numerous studies show that compassion for patients is also associated with higher quality healthcare and lower costs of care.
Rigorous research supports the idea that compassion can be a powerful therapy for the giver, too. Science shows that more caring in healthcare – and the meaningful relationships that flow from that – can promote resilience among healthcare workers. Dr. Trzeciak will share the evidence that compassion can be protective against burnout, and for those already in the throes of burnout, compassion can be an antidote. Dr. Trzeciak will also share a personal story of going through burnout himself, and how compassion was a key to his recovery.
Participants in this educational activity will learn that compassion matters – not only in meaningful ways, but also in measurable ways.
