Chiropractic, Vegan Strength and the “New Medicine” of Everyday Habits
Episode Overview
- Combining chiropractic, medical professionals and psychological support can give patients more options than medication alone for pain and functional problems.
- Simple lifestyle pillars – eating smarter, staying active and managing stress – are presented as the core of a practical “new medicine.”
- Ethical veganism can coexist with high-level strength training, provided nutrition is planned to support muscle, bone health and long-term performance.
- Working on balance and strengthening the feet and ankles is highlighted as valuable for athletes and everyday movers alike.
- Tackling childhood obesity and juvenile type 2 diabetes is linked to better nutrition education and making regular physical activity a non-negotiable part of growing up.
“"The new medicine is number one, eat smarter. Number two, keep moving. Number three is pay attention to the mental game, the stress side of things."”
Curious about how others navigate their health journey beyond quick fixes and fad diets? This Sports Doctor Radio Show episode brings together two very different guests with one shared message: long-term health comes from daily habits, not magic pills. Host Dr Bob Weill kicks off with chiropractor and clinic owner Dr Kevin Wall, who talks through his shift from a pharmaceutical-focused path into chiropractic and integrated care.
Over nearly four decades, he has built clinics that blend medical doctors, nurse practitioners, psychology and chiropractic under one roof. He argues that many people with pain get only medication, when “the medical paradigm combined with the more natural paradigm is really, I think, where the future is going.” You’ll hear chat about leg length differences, foot mechanics, balance work, and how mental health tools like red light therapy, cold plunges and hyperbaric chambers are being used alongside physical treatment.
The focus then moves to vegan fitness and ethics with coach, TEDx speaker and podcaster Karina Inkster. Vegan for more than two decades, she explains that her choice is rooted in animal ethics, while showing that a plant-based diet can support serious strength training and long-term performance. Her No BS Vegan podcast aims to cut through myths, diet culture and supplement hype with evidence-based advice.
She and Dr Bob swap ideas on “the new medicine”: eat smarter, keep moving, and reduce stress with proper rest and recovery. Threaded through both conversations is a concern about childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes in young people, and the need for better nutrition and movement education in schools and families. Between balance drills, plant-based batch cooking tips, and a gentle nudge to question drug-heavy messaging, this episode gives plenty to think about if you’re rethinking your own lifestyle habits.
