You’re going to be inspired by this Mile High Podcast episode featuring Dr. Marcia Schaefer—chiropractor, educator, and passionate advocate for family health. With a background in biology, personal healing experience, and years of research-backed practice, Dr. Marcia is transforming the conversation around fertility, preconception, and pediatric care.

 

After surviving thyroid and skin cancer early in her chiropractic career, she took a different path—choosing natural healing, deepening her understanding of salutogenesis, and eventually founding a practice that integrates chiropractic with a full-service birth center. She now teaches with the ICPA, leads seminars, and works with couples to optimize health before pregnancy even begins.  

🎧 On this podcast, you’ll hear:

• Why both partners should be under chiropractic care preconception
• The critical role of the nerve system in hormonal health and stress response  
• How subluxation influences pregnancy and birth outcomes  
• Why sperm health is declining—and what chiropractors need to know  
• How metabolic flexibility impacts fertility  
• The powerful ripple effect of clear nerve systems across generations  
• How to support families from conception through birth and beyond  

Hear how chiropractic care can help shift fertility outcomes, improve birth experiences, and support healthier babies—starting long before delivery day. This episode brings insight, hope, and direction for chiropractors looking to make a deeper impact.
