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.

As a chiropractor, knowing what your values are and what you stand for, helps in creating rapport with your patients.
On today’s episode, we are here with Alison Asher. After two years of being a chiropractor, she went on to become a Spinologist. Later on, she decided to come back into chiropractic because of her desire to help people. Currently, she’s working as a coach helping chiropractors share their truth.
Alison says that rapport is about being able to sit in your truth. When you’ve created rapport, it calms the patient’s nervous system down, and you will be able to understand them better. Get all the resources for this episode and listen to more at http://www.drdonmacdonald.com/
