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.

Melissa Sandford started off as a chiropractic assistant and has taken a massive leadership role at the UCA. Being married to a chiropractor, she started hanging out with more chiropractors and had access to many chiropractic conferences, which got her more interested in the practice.
On this episode, she shares tips on recruiting, managing, and training staff, and the common errors that chiropractors do when it comes to hiring an assistant.
One of the significant failings that people make is they start up an office, and they bring somebody else to figure things out. As a chiropractor, you need to understand how the system works and be able to operate that so you can see when it's not working.
