Today, Dr. Don MacDonald explores one of the most talked-about topics in modern health and neuroscience: the vagus nerve and its role in nervous system regulation.

Drawing on insights shared at the CNAC Conference in Toronto, Dr. Don explains why chiropractors are uniquely positioned to help patients better understand the connection between the brain, body, stress, healing, and adaptability. Through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, this episode explores how movement, breathing, connection, and chiropractic care may influence a person's ability to regulate and recover.

As public interest in the vagus nerve continues to grow, chiropractors have an opportunity to provide meaningful education that bridges science, patient experience, and clinical care.
