Welcome to The Informed Chiropractor, the go-to podcast for neurologically based chiropractors who are ready to make chiropractic relevant again. Hosted by Dr. Don MacDonald, a 26+ year chiropractor, speaker, and creator of the MacDonald Safety Corridor Protocol, this show blends vitalistic chiropractic principles with modern neuroscience through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory.
Every week, we explore how to shift from a mechanistic model to a salutogenic, nervous system-forward approach that fosters true regulation, coregulation, and healing. Whether you’re navigating burnout, refining your adjusting, or searching for a clearer way to communicate the value of chiropractic, this podcast is your home.
You’ll hear interviews with global experts, real talk from Dr. Don and Brandi MacDonald, and actionable tools to build a practice rooted in safety, interoception, and chiropractic certainty.
👉 If you’re a purpose-driven chiropractor who wants to lead with connection, adjust with clarity, and reclaim the art of healing, you’re in the right place.

Neurologically based chiropractic care
Chiropractic and the Polyvagal Theory

Dr. Paul Reed is the owner and CEO of Bridge Chiropractic with a staff of over 30 and four clinics in Vancouver, WA. After he had his first adjustment in his 8th grade, he knew he wanted to be a chiropractor and do something bigger.
After attending a Cal Jam, Dr. Reed realized that he wanted to keep the chiropractic on the west coast philosophically strong and that’s how ChiroFest was created.
On this episode, he shares how he was able to expand the reach of chiropractic, and not only serve his patients, but also the practice as well. Get all the resources for this episode and listen to more at http://www.drdonmacdonald.com/
