This conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking long-term vitality—not just symptom relief.

About the Guest:Dr. Brian Donovan is a neurologically informed chiropractor based in Brooklyn, NY. Founder of Nuro Chiropractic PLLC, he specializes in cutting-edge, non-invasive therapies such as SoftWave, PEMF, and laser therapy. Driven by research and real outcomes, Dr. Brian is on a mission to shift the paradigm in men’s wellness from reactive pain management to proactive performance optimization.

Key Takeaways:

Innovation over tradition: Dr. Brian reveals how outdated chiropractic practices are being replaced with evidence-backed technologies like SoftWave (soundwave-induced stem cell activation) and PEMF (electromagnetic therapy).
Pain and performance: These advanced treatments aren't just about relief—they’re about restoring nervous system balance and enhancing recovery and vitality.
Mental health link: Chronic pain can upregulate the sympathetic nervous system, increasing anxiety and depression. Correcting "body errors" may downregulate this and support mental resilience.
Breaking myths: Dr. Brian addresses two major misconceptions: chiropractors aren’t real doctors and adjustments cause strokes—debunking both with science and clinical data.
Why innovation lags: He explains how chiropractors have more freedom to embrace new modalities compared to M.D.s confined by rigid guidelines.
