We'll discuss how aging affects the prostate gland and why prostate enlargement is a problem for nearly every man over the age of 50. You'll learn how Equol, a naturally occurring substance, has been shown in studies to shrink prostate tissues and relieve symptoms in less than a week.

What You'll Learn about Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) and Equol:

  • How aging affects hormone production and the prostate gland
  • What symptoms indicate prostate enlargement 
  • How Equol binds with certain substances produced in the body to counteract the negative effects of changing hormone production, reduce the swelling of prostate tissues, and relieve the symptoms of BPH

It’s a new year and many chiropractors are evaluating what will enhance their respective practices, particularly as it relates to their bottom line. One of the most common questions I get is: “Do I need to be credentialed to bill insurance, and what are the best plans to join?” It’s a loaded question – but one every DC ponders. Whether you're already in-network or pondering whether to join, here's what you need to know.

Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap
Guidelines vs. Care: Bridging the Gap

What happens when best practices for patient care fall outside what guidelines endorse or insurance will cover? More importantly, how can clinicians ethically and effectively integrate non-reimbursed services that improve function, reduce disability and support long-term outcomes? These are not just clinical questions; they are economic and policy challenges that directly affect practice viability and patient access.
