Dr. Brent Jenogan DC, Functional Neurologist & Chiropractor

Based in Denver, Colorado, Dr. Jenogan specializes in brain health, organ systems, and applied kinesiology. Founder of Architect Chiropractic and host of the 'Becoming the Architect' podcast, he integrates neurology, chiropractic, and movement with a holistic, purpose-driven approach to healing.

From Special Ops to Specific Adjustments

Dr. Jenogan’s path from elite military missions to principled chiropractic is both sobering and inspiring. After serving in 14 combat tours, he returned home spiritually unanchored and emotionally frayed. His journey into healing began not with external treatments, but by exploring the inner terrain. Chiropractic became his path to clarity, purpose, and service.

Obsessed with Authenticity

For chiropractic students and young docs, Jenogan’s message is clear: Don’t idolize—integrate. Know every system, every manual, every philosophy—not to mimic, but to embody chiropractic’s essence as only you can express it. His call for “obsessive authenticity” is a bold challenge in a world of mimicry and superficiality.

Mentors, Models, and Movement

Dr. Jenogan emphasizes that success in practice and life stems from structured habits, integrity, and the right models. Drawing from his aviation background, he shares how systems-thinking and high-integrity routines can create lasting impact. He names mentors like Michael Smekka and Tim Young as key influencers and urges every DC to create their own personalized "system of excellence."

Podcasting with Purpose

Through his show Becoming the Architect, Dr. Jenogan has created space for others to share the blueprints of their growth. But it’s not just about guests—it’s about facing fears, processing imposter syndrome, and stepping fully into one’s voice. For him, podcasting is both therapy and service.

CLOSING THOUGHT

“Fall in love with yourself unconditionally. Give yourself permission—no one else will.”
