#017 - Chiropractic Adjustments in a War Zone?! - Tate Christensen
Manage episode 495876061 series 3610019
From Doctorate to Deployment.
In this episode of The Hidden Hustle, we sit down with Tate Christensen, a story that defies the typical career path. Tate got his doctorate in chiropractic care, but instead of joining the family clinic, he followed a different calling... enlisting in the U.S. Army and earning a spot in the elite 75th Ranger Regiment.
From building makeshift chiropractic tables over seas, to leading Bible studies in the barracks, Tate shares how faith, service, and purpose shaped his time in the military, and how those same values led him back to chiropractic practice in his hometown of Altoona, Iowa.
We talk about:
- Why Tate left a stable career path for military service
- The reality of Ranger School and frontline deployments
- Bringing chiropractic care to soldiers in the field
- Sharing the gospel in high-pressure moments
- Building a business rooted in faith, family, and service
Whether youβre navigating career decisions, faith journeys, or just love an inspiring story, this oneβs for you.
