In this episode, I got to sit down with someone who’s changing the way people think about healthcare, performance, and long-term pain relief—Dr. Ian McIntosh.
Ian is a chiropractor, rehab specialist, and founder of Health & Performance Center, and what he’s built is completely different from the traditional crack-you-and-send-you-on-your-way model. His approach blends chiropractic care, strength training, and modern rehab techniques to actually fix the root cause of issues—not just treat the symptoms.
We dove into how he built a performance-focused clinic from the ground up, and why so many people are frustrated with the current healthcare system. Ian shares what really works when it comes to long-term injury prevention and performance—whether you’re an athlete, a weekend warrior, or just someone who wants to move and feel better.
We also got into the business side of things. Ian has done an amazing job of building a brand based on trust, education, and delivering real results. He talks about the role of content in attracting the right clients, how to stand out in a saturated market, and why being honest with your audience is the best marketing strategy there is.
This episode is packed with value if you're in the health, wellness, or fitness world—or if you're a business owner trying to build authority in your industry. Ian’s story is proof that you don’t need to follow the traditional path to build something impactful.
