Dr. Patrick Gentempo is a chiropractor, entrepreneur, and philosopher whose career has spanned the frontiers of health, wellness, and personal achievement. Growing up in a family that ran a health food store called "Here's Health" in Ramsey, New Jersey — at a time when natural health was far from mainstream — Gentempo developed an early and enduring passion for wellness as a way of life. After graduating from chiropractic school in 1983, he entered practice and quickly moved beyond clinical work to co-develop groundbreaking diagnostic technologies that earned multiple patents and were adopted by thousands of practitioners worldwide. In 2007, he was inducted into the Wellness Hall of Fame, and his expertise in complementary and alternative medicine brought him to testify before the White House Commission on the subject.
Dr. Gentempo's influence expanded well beyond the chiropractic profession as he evolved into one of the most sought-after voices on entrepreneurship and philosophy. Dubbed the "Philosopher-Entrepreneur," he has delivered keynote presentations at hundreds of major conventions and conferences, sharing stages with luminaries such as Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins, Stephen Covey, and Andrew Weil. His ideas on the intersection of personal philosophy, core values, and business success have been featured in Forbes and have captivated audiences from nearly every industry. He also appears in the documentaries Doctored and Bought, bringing his perspective on wellness and health freedom to broad public audiences.
As the founder and CEO of Action Potential Holdings, Inc., Dr. Gentempo continues to build businesses rooted in purpose and principle. His book Your Stand Is Your Brand — one of the programs available through Nightingale-Conant — distills his central teaching: that true success begins not with strategy or tactics, but with a clear philosophical commitment to who you are. For Nightingale-Conant listeners seeking to align their inner convictions with their outward ambitions, Dr. Gentempo's work offers a compelling and transformative guide.
