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.

Neurologically based chiropractic care
Chiropractic and the Polyvagal Theory

Doing something you're not meant to do is exhausting and doesn't give you any sense of fulfilment. However, you continue doing that because you’ve been affected by the underdog curse.
On this episode, we’re here with Brandi MacDonald, who is one of my biggest mentors in life and my life partner. Currently, she’s a board member of the Australian Spinal Research Foundation.
Brandi says that a part of breaking the underdog curse is finding your true authentic self and once you own it, then, you can master your life and be who you’re meant to be. Get all the resources for this episode and listen to more at http://www.drdonmacdonald.com/
