In this thought-provoking conversation, I sat down with Dr. Drew Henderson, a chiropractor at Murrayville Family Chiropractic in Georgia, who is also a board member of Dynamic Essentials and vice president of the Georgia Chiropractic Council. Dr. Drew is passionate about helping people experience true health by restoring the body’s natural ability to heal. In this episode, we dive into the powerful intersection of mental health, nervous system function, and chiropractic care, and why protecting the integrity of chiropractic is more important than ever.

A Soldier’s Journey with PTSD & Chiropractic Healing Dr. Drew shares the powerful story of a soldier battling PTSD, how trauma dysregulates the nervous system, and how chiropractic adjustments played a key role in his healing. This story highlights the profound impact of nervous system balance on mental and emotional well-being.

The Chemistry of Mental Health: How the Nervous System Regulates Our Emotions We explore how mental health is deeply connected to neurotransmitter balance and nervous system function. Dr. Drew breaks down the science of stress, anxiety, and depression, explaining how spinal misalignments (subluxations) interfere with the body's ability to regulate essential brain chemicals and hormone regulation.

Love & Connection: The Heart of Healing Beyond the science, we discuss why healing isn’t just about adjustments—it’s also about love, trust, and human connection. When people feel genuinely cared for, their bodies respond. We talk about the importance of being present for patients, building relationships, and fostering true community in healthcare.

What is Principled Chiropractic? Dr. Drew explains the core philosophy of principled chiropractic, which focuses on correcting nervous system interference rather than chasing symptoms or relying on drugs. He shares why this approach is different from traditional medicine and why chiropractors must remain committed to their roots.

Montana HB500: A Threat to Chiropractic’s Future? A critical discussion on Montana HB500, a proposed bill that would have expanded the scope of chiropractic to include prescription drugs. We break down why this is a slippery slope and how such legislation could shift chiropractic away from its foundational principles. Should chiropractic remain unique in healthcare?

Why Marketing & Storytelling Matter in Chiropractic Many people still don’t fully understand what chiropractic is, and that’s why it’s essential to share our stories. Dr. Drew discusses how consistent education, community involvement, and online presence help break misconceptions and bring more people to understanding their health and how their body functions. Chiropractic isn’t just about what happens inside the office—it’s about making an impact in the community and online. We talk about the power of social media, public events, and outreach to grow awareness and help more people experience the benefits of chiropractic care.
