EP 419: The Return of TCP | Why Dr. Ed Osburn Revived The Chiropractic Philanthropist
Season 1

After three years dormant…
The Chiropractic Philanthropist is back.

In this first episode of the Revival Series, Dr. Ed Osburn sits down with longtime friend and chiropractor Dr. Alain Desaulniers for a raw, reflective, and deeply personal conversation about the return of one of chiropractic’s most recognized podcasts.

This is not just a relaunch episode.

It’s the real story behind:

  • burnout

  • identity loss

  • illness

  • divorce

  • rebuilding

  • entrepreneurship

  • podcasting

  • the evolution of chiropractic

  • and why meaningful conversations matter now more than ever.

Dr. Ed opens up about the personal health crisis that changed his life, the creation of TCP during recovery from emergency surgery, the rise of the podcast to hundreds of thousands of downloads, and why he ultimately walked away from it all.

The conversation also explores:

  • the changing philosophy of chiropractic

  • authenticity in leadership

  • the future of AI in healthcare

  • wisdom versus certainty

  • and what the profession needs most right now.

This episode marks the beginning of a brand-new era for TCP — one rooted in curiosity, deeper conversations, honesty, and reconnecting chiropractors through shared humanity.

Because as TCP has always believed:

“We are way more alike than we are different.”
