Episode Highlights

From Biochemist to Chiropractor: The Science Behind the Art

Dr. Hock’s chiropractic journey began when she walked into a Sherman philosophy class and walked out with a new purpose. Her foundation in biochemistry fuels her passion for evidence-informed care and deep research into how subluxation affects child development and maternal health.

Mentorship: The Plus-One Theory in Action

Dr. Hock shares the importance of always having someone you mentor and someone you admire—a principle that shaped her career. She’s now mentoring interns and students, co-publishing research, and ensuring Sherman grads leave prepared to serve with excellence.

Pediatrics and Perinatal Focus at Sherman

As the architect of Sherman’s pediatric/perinatal track, Dr. Hock is setting a new bar for chiropractic education. With 75% of interns getting hands-on with these special populations, students are graduating with real-world readiness and deeper confidence.

Real Impact Through Community Partnership

Sherman’s partnership with BirthMatters shows how chiropractic care can reduce interventions, improve breastfeeding rates, and transform birth outcomes in vulnerable communities. “One mom described her labor as ‘beautiful’—how often do you hear that?”

Calling Students Into the Community

Today’s chiropractic students must move beyond the screen and into the streets. Dr. Hock urges future DCs to build in-person trust, be active advisors in their community, and show up as the hands-on healing presence people need.

Dr. James Taylor is Minnesota native turned Texan by way of Wisconsin and Kansas City, MO

He is a former aspiring semi-professional rugby player, profound philanthropist and the founder of Aspire Chiropractic; a Top-Rated chiropractic clinic in Dallas – Ft. Worth, a seven-figure, cash-based, single doctor office, specializing in sports and sport performance. He has worked with notable UFC fighters, Bellator Fighters, NFL players and rugby players and is currently the team chiropractor for the Dallas Jackals Major league rugby team.

He classifies himself as a "doer." An Impulsive implementer; if you will. He get things done. "Done" being the key word. He’s found that many can "start" but few actually see things through to growth and completion having grown a chiropractic office from a literal dirt floor to $1.5M in revenue with 3 employees and no insurance costs. Next step: he is determined to help new doctors into practice by providing a graceful way to help seasoned doctors exit practice, gracefully! Plenty of parasitic coaches and gurus out there to help you start and then leach of your success of their repackaged and bastardized procedures they masquerade as their own “unique intellectual property” but few who show you how to build a legacy and a life out of your four walls.

James is a husband to badass, world-changing wife, Tamika Taylor of the Evolution Collective and has 2 amazing children Frankie Claire and Calvin Michael and is the solo host of his own podcast; Fueled By Spite where they focus on the victories in the faces of those who said, "I bet you cant."

His practice and podcast are a mirror of his personality which is a wonderfully curated marriage of laid-back efficiency focused on no-nonsense results and unparalleled experience.
