Dr. Wade on Multi-Dimensional Being: From High School Dropout to Joy-Filled Chiropractor
In this deeply philosophical conversation, Jodi sits down with Dr. Wade, a chiropractor whose journey from high school dropout to joy-filled practitioner embodies the transformative power of chiropractic principles as life principles. Wade shares his unique perspective on being a "multi-dimensional being" navigating this realm with maximum joy and love.
Wade reveals how chiropractic became his "practical compass for life" when he first experienced it as a teenager already questioning societal constructs. He explains why he refuses to separate his spiritual journey from chiropractic practice, viewing the profession's principles as universal life principles rather than mere clinical protocols.
The conversation explores Wade's philosophy of "as I bless, I am blessed" - how the vulnerability and intimacy required in true chiropractic care creates an energetic exchange that leaves him "drunk all day long" with the joy of practice. He discusses the MLS methodology and how proper technique should enliven rather than deplete the practitioner.
Key insights include:
- Why he describes himself as a "multi-dimensional being" rather than just a name
- The importance of pattern interrupters and asking questions instead of lecturing
- How boundaries and saying "no" are essential for joy-filled ambassadorship
- Why chiropractors are "doctors of second chances" offering paradigm shifts
- The difference between doing things TO people versus serving WITH them
- How the chiropractic curriculum has been "hijacked" away from its philosophical roots
Wade's perspective on joy as a birthright rather than a privilege offers a refreshing counter to the guilt-based messaging that keeps practitioners from fully embracing their gifts. His early morning rituals, European adventures, and connection to synchronicity paint a picture of someone truly living their principles.
Whether you're a burned-out practitioner or someone curious about the deeper dimensions of healing work, Wade's authenticity and philosophical depth provide both inspiration and practical wisdom for living more joyfully.
