Meet Dr. Korrin Taylor

We recently connected with Dr. Korrin Taylor and have shared our conversation below.

Dr. Korrin, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?

Let’s backtrack to when I was nine years old.

One afternoon my mom told me a childhood friend’s mom had called. Their rec basketball team needed one more player just to meet the minimum number to form a team. At that point, I had never played organized sports. My basketball experience consisted of shooting in the driveway.

I joined the team and remember my first practice clearly. I wasn’t very good. The only thing I could really do well was run fast. But something about the game grabbed me. I fell in love with it. From that moment on, basketball became a constant in my life. I played competitively through school and undergrad, and even today I still play weekly.

Being an athlete teaches you to listen to your body—when to push and when to rest. That awareness grew into curiosity, which led me to study kinesiology in college. I knew I wanted a career in health, but I wasn’t sure which direction to go.

Then a chiropractor came to speak to our class. He described helping people with his hands through adjustments and allowing the body to do what it was designed to do—heal. Sitting there listening, the thought was simple: of course this is what I’m going to do.

But becoming a chiropractor wasn’t my purpose. It was part of discovering it.

That clarity came later during chiropractic school on a mission trip to Haiti. People arrived with serious conditions, and after receiving an adjustment you could see something change—sometimes immediately. Arms that had barely moved began to lift. Pain that had been constant eased. The reactions were powerful.

In those moments something became very clear.

My purpose is to serve.

God has called me to be a servant—as a son, brother, friend, neighbor, stranger, husband and yes, as a chiropractor. The role may change, but the purpose stays the same.

Wherever I find myself, I am there to serve.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

As a chiropractor and the founder of Vita Nova Chiropractic in Plano, Texas, my work focuses on helping people restore balance within their body through precise chiropractic adjustments. When the body is balanced and functioning the way it was designed to, it has a remarkable ability to heal, adapt, and perform at a higher level.

What excites me most about this work is seeing people reconnect with what their body is capable of. Many people come in believing that their symptoms, fatigue, or discomfort are simply their “normal.” They have become used to disease and dysfunction. When their body begins to function better, they often realize they are capable of far more than they thought possible. That realization leads to some wonderful moments. A patient walks in with a smile on their face and immediately starts telling me about the progress they’ve made since the last visit. In those moments you can see something shift. They begin to trust their body and their health again.

My practice is built around a simple idea: health is the normal expression of a person physically, mentally, and spiritually. Chiropractic care is one way we help restore that expression by supporting the nervous system and the body’s natural ability to regulate itself. Vita Nova translates to “new life,” and that name reflects what I hope people experience when they walk through the doors. The goal isn’t just to feel better temporarily, but to experience a higher level of health and vitality.

Currently we are continuing to grow the practice here in Plano and expanding our reach within the community through educational talks, partnerships with local businesses and gyms, and opportunities to help people better understand how their body works and how to take ownership of their health.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Three qualities that have been essential to me reaching the point I am currently in are curiosity, discipline, and willingness to serve.

Curiosity pushed me to ask questions, study deeply, and continually try to understand health at a deeper level. The more curious you are, the more you realize there is always more to learn. My advice for someone early in their journey is simple: stay curious. Ask questions. Seek mentors. Read widely. The desire to understand will take you further than simply trying to memorize information.

Discipline is what turns interest into progress. That information you read doesn’t become knowledge until you understand it well enough to apply it. You get there by continually studying and practicing. That comes from discipline. I heard someone describe discipline as the purest form of self-love. That stuck with me because of how true it is. Do you have the ability to say no to comfort? No to procrastination? No to instant gratification? If so, you are disciplined and will be pulling yourself that much further in this life. My advice: DO THE THINGS YOU SAY YOU ARE GOING TO DO. That’s it. Whether you are telling a friend or just telling yourself. Do it.

At some point I realized that the most meaningful work happens when your focus shifts away from yourself and toward helping others. In healthcare especially, the goal is not recognition or personal success—it’s helping people improve their lives. When service becomes the foundation of what you do, decisions become clearer and the work becomes more fulfilling. My advice is simple: start seeing things from other people’s perspectives. Get yourself out of the picture for a moment and ask, what can I do to help this person in their journey? That mindset should become your default setting.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

I’m always open to collaborating with people who are passionate about helping others live healthier lives. That can take many forms—fitness professionals, physical therapists, health practitioners, coaches, educators, local businesses, or anyone who values improving the well-being of the community.

Partnership doesn’t always have to mean a formal event or project. Sometimes it simply looks like grabbing coffee, sharing ideas, and learning from each other. Building relationships and a strong network where we can confidently send people to one another when they need help is incredibly valuable for everyone involved.

I also enjoy opportunities to educate people about their health, whether that’s speaking at gyms, schools, churches, or community groups, or partnering with others to host events that help people better understand their bodies and how to care for them.

If someone shares a similar mindset—serving others and helping people live healthier lives—I’m always happy to connect. Send me an email: [email protected]
