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.

Being surrounded by positive people will fill you with positive energy and inspire you to do better.
On today's episode, we are here with Dr. Ernie von Schilling, who had been in practice for 47 years. He was paralyzed from the waist down at the age of 13 which led him to being carried into a chiropractor's office by his dad. That experience inspired him to pursue chiropractic as a career.
Dr. von Schilling shares how being around with successful people is essential to keep yourself be on fire and how it makes you become a better person. Get all the resources for this episode and listen to more at http://www.drdonmacdonald.com/
