Dr. Simon Billings on Chiropractic Nutrition, Functional Medicine & Clinical Mastery
About this episode
In this episode of the Chiropractic Mindset Mastery Podcast, Dr. Danny Scahill sits down with Dr. Simon Billings — chiropractor, founder of the Academy of Chiropractic Nutrition and an advocate for integrating nutrition and functional medicine into chiropractic practice.Simon graduated from the AECC in 2001 and now combines part-time chiropractic practice with educating chiropractors about the relationship between metabolic health and the neuromechanical system.His interest in nutrition and functional medicine developed through his own health challenges. After years of unexplained aches and pains, poor concentration, insomnia and other symptoms, Simon discovered evidence of inflammatory changes affecting his sacroiliac joints.Frustrated that the bigger picture had been overlooked, he began investigating nutrition, inflammation and the potential connections between gut health and chronic conditions.Danny and Simon explore why chiropractors should consider factors beyond the spine, the importance of objectively measuring clinical outcomes and why genuine clinical mastery requires curiosity rather than unquestioning certainty.Inside this episode:Simon's journey into chiropractic after experiencing severe back pain at 13His personal experience with chronic pain and inflammatory health conditionsWhy his own health challenges led him towards functional medicineThe relationship between nutrition, metabolism and neuromechanical healthWhy chiropractors should consider the broader factors affecting chronic conditionsNutritional deficiencies and their potential contribution to pain and fatigueThe role of inflammation and mitochondrial functionWhy objectively measuring clinical outcomes mattersThe importance of adapting your approach when clients aren't improvingSimon's experiences learning from influential chiropractic mentorsThe philosophy behind the Academy of Chiropractic NutritionIntegrating nutritional assessment and functional blood testing into practiceWhy clinical certainty can sometimes become a barrier to learningSimon's core commandments for clinical masteryWhy staying curious is essential for continual professional developmentOne of Simon's most powerful messages is that absolute certainty can become a trap because it stops you being curious.He challenges chiropractors to become comfortable with clinical uncertainty, continually question their approach and remain open to learning throughout their careers.This is a fascinating conversation for chiropractors, associates and clinic owners who want to expand their clinical understanding, improve their decision-making and continue developing their mastery of chiropractic.
