🎙️The Intersection of Chiropractic and Neuroscience – Dr. Amy Spoelstra

In this episode of The Mile High Podcast, you’ll meet Dr. Amy Spoelstra, a passionate chiropractor who seamlessly integrates chiropractic principles with neuroscience. Dr. Spoelstra was one of the esteemed speakers at the recent Mile High weekend, and this podcast dives deep into her inspiring journey and groundbreaking work.

Growing up in a neuro-optometry family, Dr. Spoelstra was initially resistant to the healthcare field. However, a pivotal encounter with a friend’s father, who worked AV at chiropractic conferences, opened her eyes to the potential of chiropractic. She recognized that this path aligned perfectly with her purpose, allowing her to blend her background in neuro-education with chiropractic principles. After attending Sherman College, she was inspired to explore the intersection of these fields further.

Dr. Spoelstra is the founder of Focus Academy, which trains chiropractors in brain-based approaches while maintaining chiropractic foundations. With over 250 certified chiropractors across 9 countries and 30+ states, Focus Academy offers innovative programs like Brain Blossom, a post-certification initiative, and Navigate Healing, a direct-to-parent education platform focusing on the nervous system and self-care.

In this podcast, you’ll discover:
- Dr. Spoelstra’s background and her path to chiropractic
- Insights into Focus Academy and its certification series
- The importance of community connections at events like Mile High
- Her presentation that connected the science, philosophy, and art of chiropractic with brain-based approaches
