In his 18 years as a chiropractor in Edmonton, Alberta, Dr. Don has been doing a lot more than adjusting people’s spines. He has also been paying attention to the root causes of what brought them into his office, typically near-constant stress that was manifesting itself in various parts of their bodies. Dr. Don not only found a pattern among his patients but gave it a name: the underdog curse and realized that he too was suffering from it. Underdogs, he discovered, are people-pleasers who put themselves last, who go along to get along and need a push to get their own needs met.
He resolved to end his own underdog status which had dogged him from his basketball days of his youth to his adult life as a businessman and health practitioner and to identify the path other people could use to break the underdog curse and live happier lives. You hold in your hands the fruits of that effort.
Now a life coach and motivational speaker who combines his love of neurology, success and health, Dr. Don devotes his time to inspiring others to live their best lives even as he continues to run his successful chiropractic clinic and seminar series with the aid of his wife, Brandi, who is his indispensable office manager. When not serving their patients or speaking at conferences, Brandi and Dr. Don enjoy spending time with their rescue pit bull, Lux.
