0:00.0	Hello, world. Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love, number 465. I'm your host,
0:17.5	Don Hutchison. Every day, I interview someone from around the world who has discovered
0:22.2	his talents to do work he loves to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.
0:28.5	We created this podcast to provide you with the inside, strategies, and tools to propel your
0:34.7	career to the next level. Once a week, I interview a well-known expert from the
0:38.8	fields of personal or business development who share their experiences, tools, and insights
0:43.8	to help our listeners along their journeys. Today, I'm delighted to bring you our featured expert,
0:49.2	Dr. Don McDonald. Welcome, Don. Hi. Thank you very much. It is our pleasure. Well, today's topic

1:46.0	And so for my 17 years in practice, I've been, you know, helping people through the
1:50.7	chiropractic adjustment because if we increase the mobility of the spine and decrease what
1:55.3	we call subluxation in the spine, that helps to increase stimulation to your brain, which
2:00.3	helps to dampen down or shut down the stress response, which allows your body to heal.
2:05.8	And I've also been recommending lifestyle changes for people as well as far as exercising, like meditation, yoga, movement, eating, and all that kind of stuff.
