The episode highlights the role of posture in breathing, focus, mood, and overall wellbeing.

Dr. Lindsay Nealon reflects on what it truly means to choose wellness - not as a reaction to pain, but as a proactive way of living. Drawing from over 20 years in practice, she shares why chiropractic care is about more than symptom relief and how consistent, mindful attention to your body’s patterns can transform your health. From understanding the body’s natural rhythms to learning how movement, posture, mindset, and rest all support the nervous system, this episode reframes choosing wellness as a lifestyle rooted in connection, awareness, and vitality. Wellness isn’t about fixing what’s wrong…it’s about building upon what’s right. By choosing proactive care, you’re not just chasing relief - you’re choosing a life that feels fully alive.

Dr. Lindsay sits down with pelvic floor physiotherapist Hilary McDermott to talk about the power of proactive pelvic care during pregnancy. Hilary shares why waiting until after birth to address pelvic floor health is outdated, and how early support can help you feel stronger, more confident, and better prepared for labor and recovery. Together, they unpack what really happens to your pelvic floor during pregnancy, common myths like “don’t do core exercises”, and how chiropractic and physiotherapy work hand in hand to support your changing body. Whether you’re expecting, planning to be, or supporting someone who is, this conversation will help you see pelvic health as a foundation - not a quick fix to add onto the pile while you’re already busy with a new baby.
