In this energizing episode of All Things Chiropractic, hosts Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini tackle a topic that hits close to home for many in the profession: burnout.

They kick things off with some surprising stats about the show's growing international audience—hello to our listeners in the UK and Germany!—and even try their hand at a few multilingual greetings to keep things light before diving into the heavy stuff.
