EP 429: Dr. Sabrina Gya: The Hidden Cost of Chiropractic Success | Preventing Burnout, Protecting Your Health & Leading with Alignment
What if the greatest threat to your practice isn't poor marketing—but ignoring your own health?
As chiropractors, we're taught to serve others first. We obsess over patient outcomes, business growth, and changing lives. But what happens when the doctor begins to break down?
In this powerful episode of The Chiropractic Philanthropist, Dr. Ed Osburn welcomes Dr. Sabrina Gya—chiropractor, functional health practitioner, entrepreneur, and founder of The Elevated CEO—for an honest conversation about burnout, leadership, longevity, and what it really takes to build a successful practice without sacrificing yourself in the process.
After more than 25 years in high-volume chiropractic practice, Dr. Gya shares the deeply personal experiences that transformed her approach to health, business, and life. Together, they explore why so many chiropractors ignore the warning signs, how chronic stress silently erodes performance, and why protecting your own health may be the greatest investment you'll ever make.
If you're committed to serving your patients at the highest level while creating a practice—and a life—you truly love, this episode is for you.
