Host, Dr. Don MacDonald heads East to Winnipeg to speak with chiropractor and podcast host, Dr. Richard Ledda. Dr. Ledda explains the life events that led him to choose a career in chiropractic instead of ‘traditional’ medicine like some family members had done.

Rich shares poignant advice for recent graduates of chiropractic college and for those considering chiropractic as a profession.
