Our conversation dives into the science, stories, and strategies that are reshaping how we view chiropractic care today — from the power of neuroplasticity to evidence-based practice, lifestyle alignment, and the seven pillars of longevity. Dr. McAllister also shares her personal journey, offering insight into how chiropractors can reclaim their place as leaders in modern healthcare.
