Where neuroscience and philosophy connect - the default mode network and the chiropractic adjustment

In this exciting episode, we catch up with chiropractic research rockstar, Dr Heidi Haavik, as she talks us through a new, groundbreaking paper offering new insights into an emerging area of research. We are talking about the default mode network - the part of our brains that is active when we aren't paying attention. Here, we daydream, ruminate, and much more. Chiropractic philosophy buffs have been thinking and talking about how chiropractic care might impact consciousness for a long time now.  For the first time ever, we have some evidence as to how this might occur. We are also joined by Dr Joshua Tymms, from Advanced Biostructural Correction Australasia, to talk about the power of posture far beyond aesthetics.

Chiropractic and Women's Health

In this month's episode, we chat with Chiropractor and women's health powerhouse, Dr Anthea Todd. Anthea recently authored a now best-selling book, "What's My Body Telling Me?" In it, she flips the narrative on the body being the problem and introduces the reader to the fact that it is the solution. We cover everything from stress to hormones, to chiropractic and why women's health is so fraught. Dr Ryan Seaman also drops by to wrap the year by talking about all that the ASRF team has been up to over the course of the last year. Our members and donors are the ones who have made this work all possible.
