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.

When one has the passion for the things they do or their profession, it is the road to success. It could also mean that one is inspired from within. If Chiropractors are inspired from within, wherever they will be, it will mean success in what they’re doing with the inclusion of confidence and faith in what they have.
On this episode, we have Dr. Chuck Ribley. He graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1960. He is a co-founder of Life University and was the spearhead in seeing it through its accreditation. He helps out today as a consultant to the Board at Life University.
