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.
Key themes covered:
Neurologically based chiropractic care
Chiropractic and the Polyvagal Theory
Creating safety and co-regulation in practice

Keeping the Drive to Succeed- Luis Congdon
Wednesday Nov 01, 2017
Wednesday Nov 01, 2017
Once we reached the goals we've set for ourselves, we feel comfortable and don't even realize that we’re not doing anything to grow, which then could lead us to back to our old life.
Luis Congdon went homeless and lost everything financially but is now making six figures with his podcast. On this episode, he shares how he continually keeps himself motivated to move forward.
In addition, he talks how belief systems are holding us back from seeing opportunities that are already in front of us, and how we can break down those belief systems to unlock our true potential. Get all the resources for this episode and listen to more at http://www.drdonmacdonald.com/
