    This week on Dak & Doc, it's all about posture and one very confusing sense of direction.

    Doc walks listeners through the four different types of posture, what makes each one different, and why your posture matters for your spine, your energy, and your long term health.

    Then Dak's directionally challenged teamwork takes center stage, and the results are exactly as entertaining as you'd hope.

    Educational, funny, and relatable, just another week with Dak & Doc.

    This week Dak and Doc are joined by Dr. Josh Vartey for a special three host episode — officially making this one a Dak, Doc & Doc.

    The trio kicks things off with a lighthearted but surprisingly passionate debate about what the ideal Halloween actually looks like. From there the conversation shifts into something more meaningful — a genuine discussion about what it means to be a true friend. Not a surface level friend, but the real thing. All three share what that looks like from their own lives and the conversation goes deeper than you might expect.

    To close things out Dak, Doc and Dr. Josh bring their combined decades of chiropractic experience to one of the most important conversations in healthcare right now — where AI is headed in chiropractic care and what that future actually looks like for patients and practitioners alike.

    Three perspectives, one great conversation.

  • Skunks, Bears & The Changing Face of Chiropractic
    12 Oct 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Dak & Doc, the animals won.

    Doc's dog had an unfortunate run in with a skunk, Dakota is dealing with a bear that has made itself comfortable on her property, and Dakota's fish passed away. It has genuinely been one of those weeks and Dak and Doc handle it the only way they know how — by talking about it on the podcast.

    Doc also apparently went trick or treating and yes they talk about that too.

    Then the conversation turns to something Doc feels strongly about — the shifting perception of chiropractic care among patients and the general public. More people are arriving informed, open minded, and ready to engage with chiropractic as a legitimate and essential part of their healthcare. Doc breaks down what's behind that change and why it matters.

    And to close things out Dak and Doc share what's coming up at Hope Chiropractic this fall — events and opportunities you won't want to miss as the season gets underway.

    Funny, real, and genuinely informative — just another week with Dak & Doc.

  • The History of Doc & BJ Palme
    29 Sep 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Dak & Doc, Doc gets personal.

    BJ Palmer — the son of chiropractic founder Daniel David Palmer — is the man responsible for growing chiropractic into the respected profession it is today. His philosophy, his principles, and his relentless belief in the power of the spine shaped generations of chiropractors who came after him.

    Doc is one of them. This week he shares his personal connection to that legacy — how BJ Palmer's teachings found their way into his practice, his mindset, and his 30 year career. Dak guides the conversation with the questions every listener is thinking and the result is one of the most meaningful episodes they've done.

    Whether you're a chiropractic patient, a healthcare professional, or just someone who loves a good origin story — this one is worth your time.

  • We Know We're Annoying & Doc Met a Time Traveler
    21 Sep 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Dak & Doc, things get self aware, a little generational, and genuinely mind bending.

    Dak and Doc open up about something most people would never admit — the annoying habits they are completely aware of and do anyway. No excuses, no explanations. Just refreshingly honest self awareness.

    From there the two weigh in on the Gen Z stare — that signature blank, unreadable expression that has left older generations completely baffled. Dak and Doc unpack it and have some thoughts.

    Then Doc shares one of his more unusual encounters — the time he met a timeologist, a person who studies the concept of time itself. What started as a story quickly becomes one of their deepest conversations yet about what time actually is, how we experience it, and whether our understanding of it holds up under scrutiny.

    Funny, thought provoking, and genuinely one of a kind — this is Dak & Doc doing what they do best.

  • Magical Stories and Realistic Sports
    8 Sep 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Dak & Doc — Magical Stories & Real Sports.
    Fueled by last week's Voldemort moment, Dak and Doc let the Harry Potter conversation flow freely and it does not disappoint. From there they open up about their reading lives — the books that stuck with them, the ones they wish they'd never picked up, and everything in between.

    They also share something genuinely useful — how to figure out whether a book is actually the right fit for you before you commit to it. Because life is too short for bad books.

    Doc closes things out with a conversation about sports and what they do to the physical body over time. From youth athletics to weekend warriors, the impact of sports on your spine and joints is something most people don't think about until it's too late. Doc breaks down what to watch for and why staying ahead of it matters.

    Fun, personal, and packed with good conversation — just the way Dak & Doc like it.

  • She Who Must Not Be Named, Why We Procrastinate & Watch Your Kids' Backs
    31 Aug 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week on Dak & Doc, Doc said something about his wife that he may not be able to take back.

    The episode opens with Doc making a comparison between his wife and a certain dark wizard from a very famous book series. Dak had thoughts. The audience will have thoughts. Doc stands by it.

    From there the two tackle procrastination — not just what it is but why it happens. The psychology behind putting things off, why it goes so much deeper than just being lazy, and what the root causes really look like when you dig into them.

    And Doc closes with something timely and genuinely important for every family heading back to school — backpack safety. Heavy, improperly worn backpacks are quietly causing real spinal damage in children across the country. Doc breaks down what to look for, what the dangers are, and how to prevent long term damage before it starts.

    Funny, honest, and genuinely useful — just another week with Dak & Doc.

  • Stop Chewing, Cancel the Trip & Save the Profession
    24 Aug 2026

    This week on Dak & Doc, things get personal, passionate, and more than a little fired up.

    Dak and Doc open up about a shared trait neither of them expected to have in common — misophonia, the very real sensitivity to specific sounds that drives both of them absolutely crazy. If you've ever wanted to leave a room because of how loud someone was chewing, this segment is for you.

    Doc then gets honest about a recent shift in his mindset — one that led him to cancel an upcoming vacation. It's a rare and genuine look at what's going on behind the scenes with one of the show's most passionate voices.

    The two also look ahead to something special — Doc's 30th anniversary bowling tradition, what it means to him, and what they're both looking forward to about celebrating it together.

    And Doc closes things out with something he clearly needed to say. Enrollment in chiropractic colleges is declining at an alarming rate and students and professionals are increasingly being told they need a secondary medical specialty just to make it in the field. Doc makes his case for why that's a problem — and what it could mean for the future of chiropractic care as a whole.

    Thoughtful, funny, and genuinely important — this is Dak & Doc doing what they do best.
