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.

What's stopping people from doing things is the fear of stepping into the unknown. However, we won't know what's in there if we don't take the courage to step into it.
Today, we are here with Dr. Naomi Mills. She is the business owner of the Radcliffe Chiropractic Clinic, a chiropractic marketer, and a mother of a two-year-old.
Dr. Mills is a busy chiropractor who sees 220 patients a week and recently bought a new clinic. She shares how she was able to do this and expand her practice in a year by getting things done. Get all the resources for this episode and listen to more at http://www.drdonmacdonald.com/

Don, Naomi, thank you for a refreshing and candid discussion. I especially love the acknowledgement of differing styles - driver and people pleaser - and thst it's ok to have different approaches, so ling as it's congruent, anyone can get things done!
