In this raw and inspiring episode, we sit down with Dr Tim Leeming, chiropractor, sports nutritionist, and co-founder of Being Chiropractic in Gympie, QLD. Tim shares his incredible journey — from his early days as an athlete and movement coach to the traumatic birth of his first daughter, Sage, which completely reshaped his purpose and approach to health.
Alongside his wife, Dr Casie Leeming, Tim has since travelled the world studying with leading chiropractors and paediatric neurological experts. Now, as a passionate practitioner and father of two, he brings a deeply personal lens to his work, helping families and individuals reconnect to their nervous systems, their bodies, and their natural rhythms through chiropractic care and simple, intentional movement.
Quotes I owe a lot of my good character and values to many miles on that river. I learned hard work. persistance and dogged determination. Chiropractic just landed for me, it made sense. Chiropractic is helping the human body to experience health, performance and everything in between. Sage’s condition was a real moment of surrender. We were in a sympathetic state of flight or fight, confusion and grief. Understanding what disabilities she had was a heavy thing to carry. Emergency medicine was amazing and kept her alive. You can look at it as a whole with death at one end and vitality at the other. A symptomw ill do something or give you something to get rid of. We checked and adjusted Sage multiple times a day. We used music at 512Hz, essential oils, prayers, community, a Facebook group rooting for us, meditation and visualisation. A child goes through various stages from birth – 1: Breathe; 2: Turn the head; 3: Learn to suck and swallow; 4: Learn to digest and poop. As a father, a male, you just want to get in there and help… and you can’t. She chose well having us as parents. Sage is a very robust healthy kid. Fever is the perfect response to an invading pathogen. Have full faith and trust in the capacity of our body’s and babies body’s to do what they need to heal. Tony gave me such clarity, conviction and certainty. Life pulls us in the right direction. Be a beacon of hope, help and light. Life will always humble you. It is all my own responsibility and for me to figure out. Our health is our responsibility. It’s very rarely genes or bad luck. Nobody has your health in their hands, you do. We had help, guidance and colleagues from every angle. Many men would understand this, but Sage pulled me back home and realise my values hierarchy. It can be overwhelming but it is about the art of discernment. It takes time and repetition and you will get better as a skill but it has to be intentional. The spine is the taile of the brain. Take responsibilty for your own health. There is a depth of value with grandparents and elders. The generation has wisdom, guidance, a way of life and behaviours that are so important. The answers you are looking for may be a lot more simple than you think. We take the complex and make it really simple. I stand on the shoulders of giants.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
