Dr. Fred Graduated from LACC in 1987. He quickly found the philosophy of chiropractic shortly after graduating and elevated his life purpose to help as many people as possible understand and live this philosophy and lifestyle. He believes chiropractic is a message for humanity and we carry that responsibility. Since chiropractic principle is truth, he believes spinal correction was the highest, most powerful application of the principle. He believes subluxated people are destined for a life of disease, disability, even possible early death, which is against their God-given purpose on this earth. However, people do have the opportunity to change their mindset and desire to live at their best, become corrected and unsubluxated, healthy and live the principle of an optimal spine/optimal health lifestyle. He believes that is the responsibility of chiropractors and the profession. He endeavored to become his best with spinal correction and an inspirational leader with powerful communication, leadership training, along with team and practice building skills to help doctors reach their vision and calling in this life. In 14 years of practice, he had 4 spinal corrective practices that were CBP, spinal corrective based in 3 states seeing an average of 550 – over 700 a week that were created from their inception. Dr. Fred then felt he could not create the global impact to bring the message of corrective chiropractic to humanity, so he formed Elite Chiropractic Coaching in 2008 with the intention to create the most powerful, advanced, relationship-based, self-empowerment, clinical and business systems that would stand out from all others, to advance the chiropractic profession and impression of chiropractic in the general public. For almost 20 years, Dr. Fred has intently studied research on human behavior, trained with world-class communicators and influencers, along with the studying business principles in top entrepreneurial groups that have built the most world-changing, successful and profitable businesses and corporations.

This forward-thinking, bold and innovative model has created results in the personal and professional growth in hundreds of Elite Chiropractic Coaching clients that have created rapid and predictable growth, and most importantly, renewed the passion and purpose in the doctors and teams that make chiropractic and empowering patients to live at a new lifestyle, much more fulfilling and fun. The doctors and teams in Elite Chiropractic Coaching not only love the purpose, they LIVE it. Your team will become inspired leaders to create more purpose-driven teams and committed, lifetime patients than ever before. Dr. Fred and the Elite Chiropractic Coaching Team will guarantee it.

Dr. Tony, as he is known, is a Pediatric and Wellness Certified Chiropractor, who specializes in Neurosensory Disorders such as Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, Seizures and other Special Needs cases, as well as general pediatric, pregnancy, and family wellness care. He has extensive education, experience, and passion in these areas, and has a large crazy fun, all cash, kid-focused, family practice in Crystal Lake, IL with nearly 2/3 of their practice being under the age of 12. Within the first few years, he had built one of the largest pediatric clinics in the country, with a huge percentage of the patients under care being spectrum, sensory, and special needs kids. His work was also featured in the documentary film “Doctored – Exposing the Modern Medical Monopoly.” Dr. Tony truly runs and operates his dream practice, or what he also now terms “the practice of the future” for chiropractic. The core values of the practice are impact, family, fun, gratitude, respect, and efficiency. Not only does the office focus on family care, but also his team of 3 Epic Associates, Interns, and CAs operate like a tight-knit family fully aligned with the values and mission of the practice. They have tremendous respect, appreciation and gratitude for the impact that chiropractic makes in the lives of those they serve, and in their own lives. And on top of all that, they have crazy amounts of fun, which is easy to do with so many kids under care, all cash, no insurance, and a practice model based upon simplicity and efficiency! Over the past 5+ years, Dr. Tony has also travelled throughout the globe speaking and teaching about pediatrics, spectrum disorders, and family practice. His workshop entitled “The Perfect Storm” is a highly sought after and well-attended program that he has given for thousands of parents and professionals since its creation in 2008. He also developed a series of subluxation-based and neurologically-focused educational materials for chiropractors, starting a company called Well Aligned Products. The purposes of these materials are simple, to better help the practicing chiropractor communicate and explain chiropractic using terminology and analogies easily understood by patients. In 2013 he was chosen by Dr. David Jackson, himself going on 3 decades of success in a Pediatric and Family Practice model, to become a co-creator and partner in first ever online pediatric training program, Epic Pediatrics. This is an extensive and detailed training program that covers many essential topics to serving kids and building a successful pediatric practice, taught in a way never seen before. Doctors who complete this training program reach levels of certainty and applicability not normally seen in pediatrics. And finally, in 2015 he again teamed up with Dr. Jackson and his incredible practice-building and training program, Epic Accelerators, as a Master Mentor Coach. Having himself benefitted tremendously from his 3 years as an Epic Accelerator Client, it was time for him to simply turn around and “lend a hand up” to as many chiropractors as possible in this area as well. He has a smoking hot epic wife Kristina who keeps his craziness in check, three incredibly beautiful and gifted daughters Addison, Alaina, and Emilia, and an amazing little boy Oliver who himself went through “the perfect storm” spending 6 weeks in the NICU with a very grave prognosis of seizures and severe neurological damage and delays, only to come through that with zero seizures or developmental delays thanks to the early application of Pediatric Chiropractic. He is a health and wellness “junkie” who loves CrossFit, reading and learning, spending time with his family, and sports.

Dr. Cynthia Shaft-Toll was raised in a chiropractic family eventually numbering 22 in all in 3 generations. She was surrounded by chiropractors and spent much of her childhood listening in on seminars and conversations about the profession. The youngest of 3 children of Ray Elwart DC and Mary Elwart, her two siblings Dan Elwart DC and Linda Atkinson DC distinguished themselves in the profession as well. Linda held the first license to practice chiropractic on mainland China. Dr. Shaft-Toll always wanted to be a chiropractor and finished high school early and accelerated the rest of her education graduating at age 22 as the youngest in her class as well as being a mother of 2 children. She eventually completed her family and now has 7 children and 8 grandchildren. She is married to William Toll IV. The difficulties of balancing family life with practicing as a chiropractor inspired her to reach out to other WDCs and create a network of WDCs who are passionate about chiropractic. This led to the creation of Women Chiropractors, a nonprofit group working together to achieve these ideals. Dr. Shaft-Toll has created a pilot program for struggling Doctors who have been out of chiropractic college for 2 years or have never been in practice because of health-related, pregnancy or other issues. This program which is called ReEntry which is currently in the trial phase is already changing these Doctors lives for the better.

I am a farm-girl at heart, which taught me a number of invaluable lessons: work hard when the time is right or you’ll never get your crop planted or harvested; God and family are what matters most-the rest is just “stuff”; you only get ahead when the whole team wins; and of course-early to bed and early to rise… These truths cultivated a strong foundation for me as I entered the world of entrepreneurialism. I opened my chiropractic practice in Dec 1998 at the tender age of 29. In less than 90 days I was serving over 180 office visits per week. This momentum lead to massive growth and in less than 5 years, I generated over $1.3million in a tiny town of 5000. I attribute my success first to God and secondarily to: innovative systems; creative marketing; consistent personal growth; and polished teamwork. While still in practice, I began coaching my chiropractic colleagues from around the world and continue to do so today. Chiropractors hire me as their coach when they’re at a plateau and know they’re capable of so much more! New doctors recognize that they learned a lot about being a doctor, but virtually nothing about being a savvy business owner and thus they hire me to make sure they start out on the right chiropreneur foot to grow fast with massive profits! Upper 6 and 7-figure chiropractors hire me to systematically expand their brand year-after-year and to ensure they’re not OWNED by their business, but instead that they’re dominating their community and ROCKIN big!! Veteran doctors enroll their associates and teams in my coaching to ensure their team is expertly trained to rapidly be assets in their business. I invite you to ask anyone who is coaching with me now, or who has in the past, and they will affirm that I drive hard and that I am obsessed with helping others see their optimum potential and then customizing their plan to live it. Life is about ABUNDANCE and being wildly obsessed with all aspects of our lives. I look forward to helping YOU see your brilliance and untapped potential. Contact me. I can help. ROCK it BIG! Choose TODAY instead of one day…
