When we first opened Animal Chiropractic Education Source, we modelled our training just like all the other schools. That was 13 years ago. Since then we have learned a few things that not just we but all the schools were doing wrong. Yesterday, the company that manages our HVAC systems was at A.C.E.S. Ranch for the fourth time, trying to figure out why the air-conditioning unit in our master bedroom wasn't working. At A.C.E.S., we have eight HVAC units. Managing a property

by Amy Hayek, DVM We spent half a day, traveling to Waco to spend time speaking with Representative Patrick Curry about animal chiropractic. One of the biggest takeaways was that someone outside the profession cannot solve a problem the profession has not organized itself to solve. This is not to say all is lost. But taking the role of victim is not solving the problem for animals. So long as there is a mindset that chiropractors can't get patients because of an imaginary b

It is easy to understand why parents feel excited — and sometimes concerned — when their children decide to pursue veterinary school or chiropractic school. The economics of higher education today are very different than they were years ago. Some parents are fortunate enough to help their children through school, while others know their children may graduate carrying significant student loan debt. And those student loans are not as inexpensive as they once were. I remember fa

### From Lowly Student to Fulfilled Doctor: How Animal Chiropractic Bridges the Gap — And Builds Resistance to Corporate Takeover This Easter weekend, as we reflect on the profound gift of Christ’s death and resurrection, we’re reminded that true freedom comes from grace, not from endless striving or sacrifice. We don’t have to buy, suffer, or climb our way into belonging — we are loved and valued from the very beginning. That same liberating principle is beautifully embodied

by Dr Amy Hayek I’m reminded today that it’s Palm Sunday. What does that mean? It’s the day that Jesus walked into Jerusalem—a place where he would ultimately be challenged, judged, and put to death. He walked into what was, in many ways, enemy territory. And yet, people lined his path, laying palms on the ground in front of him as he rode in. That act was a sign of reverence. People weren’t just aware of him—they believed in what he was teaching. He helped them see themselve

Why We Have a No-Refunds Policy Too many people start things with the unspoken intention of giving up on themselves. They believe they can do just enough , and that at the first sign of discomfort, confusion, or emotional friction, they can simply walk away. But that’s not how learning works. All learning is uncomfortable. That isn’t a flaw—it’s a feature. Our brains are wired to change through challenge, uncertainty, and friction. If you’ve ever wondered why growth feels har

Horses and nice cars only mix if you have a lot of money to burn. it is a status symbol, that sets doctors apart from others If I bought a Porsche, I wouldn’t expect to figure things out on my own. You don’t buy a high-performance machine and then hope you’ll “just wing it.” You expect: A detailed owner’s manual Expert service appointments A team that knows how the machine is supposed to run Guidance that keeps performance high, problems predictable, and maintenance simple W

I’m excited to share some uplifting news—our chickens are thriving today, and it's not just because of their extended outdoor time. A significant trend is emerging: pharmaceutical stocks are declining as more parents opt out of vaccines for their children, and many adults are turning away from booster shots. But how does this relate to animal chiropractic? The answer is simple yet profound. The Connection Between Chiropractic and Immune Health When animals are unvaccinated an

Title: Why Savvy Cattle Ranchers Use Animal Chiropractic—and Why It Matters More Than You Think Cattle ranchers are pragmatic folks. You don’t pour time, money, and feed into a cow just to see what happens next year. That’s why smart ranchers preg check —to find out which cows are pregnant, which ones aren’t, and why. When a cow doesn’t catch, there are questions to ask: Is she healthy enough to carry a calf? Was the bull doing his job? Is it time to cull her from the herd?
