On this episode of Redefining Resilience, Chris and Kiley sit down with Dr. Staci Blume.

Dr. Staci Blume began her career as a chiropractor in 2008, quickly establishing herself as a dynamic force in the wellness industry. Straight out of school, she purchased her first practice, transforming a small, one-doctor office into a thriving, associate-driven practice within just four years. This early experience not only honed her skills as a healthcare provider but also as a business leader, equipping her with expertise in team training, business growth, and creating efficient, automated systems that allow a business to operate smoothly.

In addition to her patient-focused chiropractic care, Dr. Blume has become a respected voice in the health and wellness community. She delivered a TEDx talk in 2015 on “Neuroplasticity – Extraordinary Health Potential,” showcasing her deep understanding of the brain-body connection and its implications for leading an extraordinary life. More recently, she has been invited to speak on topics including Regenerative Therapy, Nerve System Regulation, and Functional Medicine.

Today, Dr. Blume co-owns Life Refined Chiropractic in Noblesville, Indiana, alongside her husband, Dr. Nate Blume. Together, they have expanded their vision of holistic health with the creation of Well Infused, a cutting-edge functional medicine practice infusing customized wellness services, including precision IV vitamin therapy, ozone therapy, bioidentical hormone therapy, peptides, regenerative therapies and more. Their success has led to the founding of Well Infused Franchise, LLC, with locations in Indiana and Florida, with expansion to additional locations in 2025. She is the co-host and co-creator of the soon-to-launch, “Age.Less: The Podcast” discussing topics of health, longevity and so much more.

Beyond her professional achievements, Dr. Blume is a proud wife and mother, balancing her career with her husband raising three kids; Trent, Drake and Milah.

Dr. Blume’s career is a testament to her belief that when the brain and body are cared for properly, the potential for a fulfilling and extraordinary life is limitless.
