Eight Hours of On-Demand Education are presented by the speaker, Dr. Dan Davidson.

Lost Vagus Nerve Function – 5 CEU

Picture your most stressed, medicated, and burned-out patients. Chances are their vagus nerve has gone quiet, and with it, their body’s ability to heal, regulate, and recover. The result is chronic inflammation, gut dysfunction, anxiety, disrupted sleep, and a nervous system stuck on permanent high alert.
Chiropractors are uniquely positioned to reverse this cascade. In this power-packed 5-hour workshop, Dr. Dan Davidson gives you everything you need to understand how to restore vagal nerve tone, boost neurological resilience. and how to communicate it.
Drawing on decades of clinical experience and the latest peer-reviewed neuroscience, Dr. Davidson walks you through the vagus nerve as the body’s master conductor, overseeing mood, immunity, digestion, heart rate, and the brain-gut connection simultaneously. You’ll explore how this vital nerve coordinates three of the body’s most powerful endogenous pharmaceutical systems, producing more healing compounds than all drug companies combined.

• The CHAMPS Framework – six measurable neuroplastic pathways activated by chiropractic adjustments, including cortical changes, HRV improvement, autonomic influence, motor neuron efficiency, proprioception, and sensory-motor integration.
• How the vagus nerve regulates the HPA axis and why chronic stress literally breaks down vagal function over time.
• The cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, and how spinal adjustments stimulate acetylcholine release to reduce systemic TNF and chronic inflammation.
• The brain-gut connection: how 10,000+ gut metabolites and 100 trillion synaptic connections are coordinated through vagal signaling
• HRV as a clinical longevity biomarker, and how to use it in practice to demonstrate chiropractic’s measurable impact.
• Neuroplastic chiropractic research from fMRI and neuroimaging studies that prove adjustments rewire the brain.
• Practical patient messaging, metaphors, and rapport tools you can use starting Monday morning.

Motion is Healing – 3 CEU

• How physical inactivity is now classified as a disease, with mortality rates exceeding smoking
• The Three Incredible Systems – Muscle, Gut, and Nerve – and how they form your body’s endogenous pharmaceutical factory.
• Mechanotransduction biology and why gravity correction must come before strengthening
• How contracting muscle produces 300+ myokines, including anti-inflammatory signals, metabolic regulators, and brain-protective compounds.
• How BDNF directs and connects with neuroplasticity
• The Combat Body Fat protocol – a research-backed, drug-free alternative to GLP-1 medications, focused on muscle building over just weight loss.
• The Strongevity Plan combining muscle mass and VO2 max as the ultimate longevity equation.
• The Flow Motion Effect and how a proper structural foundation changes everything.

In part 2, Dr. Jenny Bocker goes into detail on pediatric feeding challenges and whole-body care. Grounded in a “fed is best” philosophy, this session explores the complexities of suboptimal breastfeeding, combining current evidence with practical assessment and treatment strategies. Dr. Bocker breaks down key infant mechanics, red flags, and interdisciplinary approaches—while guiding providers through gentle, effective interventions ranging from spinal and craniosacral care to collaborative referrals. 

Expanded topics include reflux, oral function, and cranial development, supported by real case outcomes that demonstrate meaningful improvements in feeding, growth, and comfort. This comprehensive training equips practitioners to confidently support infants and families with compassionate, evidence-informed care.

“Youth Lower Extremity Sports Injuries: Strategies for Prevention and Treatment”  with Dr. Brandon Steele

10:00 AM-12:00 PM | 2 CEUs

This webinar will provide crucial insights into the often overlooked yet prevalent realm of youth sports injuries. With up to 40% of young athletes experiencing sports-related injuries, the statistics are alarming, particularly among children aged 5-14, who exhibit the highest athletic injury rates. Among these injuries, lower extremity ailments are most common, with overuse injuries representing a significant portion.

With millions of healthcare visits attributed to adolescent sports injuries annually, it’s evident that this issue demands our attention. This webinar will explore the etiology and best-practice management of prevalent youth complaints, including Patellofemoral Pain syndrome, Osgood-Schlatter, Shin Splints, and Sever’s disease.

Join Dr. Steele as he equips you with invaluable skills to enhance your treatment toolbox and effectively address the challenges of youth sports injuries.
