Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr Brady Salcido.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I grew up as a really sick kid. I struggled constantly with allergies, asthma, pneumonia (TWICE!), Bell’s palsy, and focus issues. On top of that I was 50 pounds overweight. Things continued to get worse until I got into college and hit an all-time. My symptoms were worse than ever before, my inhaler medication was increased, and I even was considering getting on medication to help me focus.
I was playing collegiate rugby at the time and went to see a Chiropractor, who noticed major distortions and issues with my spine, which can directly influence the function of our nervous system (the main communication pathway from our brains to control our bodies), and suggested I see him on a more regular basis. I’ll be honest, I thought he was a bit nuts, but a figured it couldn’t hurt to at least try.
I’m so glad I did, because in about 3 months, I felt like a new man. I could breathe through my nose for the first time in who knows how long. I didn’t need my asthma inhaler anymore. I could focus in class and read easier without being distracted every 2 seconds and I even felt happier.
I decided then to go to Chiropractic school to study sports Chiropractic, mainly because I was an athlete growing up and wanted to help others. I was on the path to be a sports Chiropractor until I went on a Chiropractic mission trip to Peru, where I got to adjust over 800 people in 4 days, ranging from children as young as 2 days old to elderly as “young” as 98 years of age.
I saw incredible transformations in their health in just those 4 days and it took me back to my own story of struggling as a child. I knew I needed to serve my community in a different capacity.
I luckily now live a very healthy lifestyle, I’m rarely sick, and eventually lost the 50 pounds! I’m now married to the love of my life, Christy, who left her job to become our office director.
I also am the host of a podcast called The Health is Wealth Podcast, where I bring in experts and influencers in the field of health, wellness, mindset, and lifestyle to give our listeners tools and resources to achieve optimal health to fuel their passion in life!
I also serve on the Advisory Board of VoxxLife, a technology company focused on wellness and human potential technologies. I’m currently helping with neurologically enhancing technology that is embedded in socks and insoles that has been shown to increase balance, power, and stability instantly and naturally!
I also wrote a book called The Brain Boost: 7 Simple and Effective Ways to Crush Stress and Easily Increase Brain Power, Focus, and Energy Fast!
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I wish! I like to say I was born with a doctor’s heart and mind, but not a businessman’s. It was challenging at first and it took a lot of extra learning on my part on not just how to serve my patients the best way possible, but how to communicate and spread our message in an authentic and unique way.
Luckily our practice is primarily referral based, which has helped our growth tremendously!
Please tell us about Vitality Family Chiropractic.
Three years ago I founded Vitality Family Chiropractic, a state of the art, family centered Chiropractic office in Westlake Village, CA. We use our practice serve infants, children, pregnant moms, athletes, adults, and even entire families looking for natural solutions for wellness and immune support.
We use objective technology to test and measure the function of the spine and nervous system to accurately determine where the issues are, how to correct them, as well as how to properly maintain optimal spine and neurological health. This allows us to personalize our adjustments and care specifically for each individual. This allows us to see tremendous results consistently.
One unique aspect of our practice that truly sets us apart is that we specialize in working with children struggling with neurodevelopmental concerns such as Autism, ADHD, Epilepsy, and Sensory Processing Disorder. We use our technology to determine where stress is interfering with their neurological development and find access points to help restore balance and function to the neurological system.
One thing I’m proud of most as a company is our testimonies and patient stories. In our office we have a wall full of practice member’s stories of triumph over issues like ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, Asthma, Back Pain, Adrenal Fatigue, and more! These stories are what bring people from all over to our office. It’s something we’re very proud of and look forward to spreading to more walls in our office!
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
One of my favorite memories was a family trip we took to Maui, when I was younger. Me and my family took kayaks out into the ocean, by Molokini, and it was crystal clear. We brought snorkeling gear with us and I got to dive down to reefs and see fish and wildlife that I’ve never seen before. On top of that I got to see and actually play with a sea turtle, without touching it, which was challenging, but it’s the rule out there. It was a ton of fun and I spent countless hours on the water and probably got a nice sunburn to prove it!
