Editor's Note: This issue's Report of My Findings column by Dynamic Chiropractic's publisher emeritus is guest authored by Dr. Sherry McAllister, president of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP).
At this very moment in history, the public is awakening. They’re questioning what they’ve been told about health – what they eat, how they think, how they manage stress, and what they’ve been prescribed. From industrial agriculture to the overmedicalization of everyday life, the systems designed to promote health have instead contributed to chronic disease, confusion and dependence.
The recently released MAHA Report (Make America Healthy Again) 2025, issued by the White House, is a clarion call for transformation.1 Among its findings:
- Over 40% of children in America now live with a chronic health condition.
- Rates of obesity, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and autoimmune disorders are climbing.
- The environment, ultraprocessed food, sedentary lifestyles, and overuse of medication are major contributors.
The message is clear: The old model of healthcare – symptom suppression, 1-2 symptom / visit appointments, and pharmaceutical-first strategies – is failing our families.
So, we must ask ourselves: Is the chiropractic profession ready to lead? For over a century, chiropractors have championed a drug-free, prevention-first, whole-body model of care, centered on the body’s innate ability to heal. As the public seeks answers beyond pills and procedures, chiropractic is poised to offer something more: whole-being care.
A Truth, Not Just a Trend
Whole-being care is not a trend – it’s a truth we have known all along. It doesn’t stop at managing symptoms. It addresses the root causes of dysfunction and disconnection. It begins with the nervous system and the adjustment, and expands into the full human experience: lifestyle, mindset and meaning. It’s about aligning the body and elevating the way we think, live and heal. Now the world is listening.
The Right Message at the Right Time
Enter Adjusted Reality: Supercharge Your Whole-Being for Optimal Living and Longevity (published by Forbes Books with content provided by the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress; set for release in October 2025). This book is more than a publication – it’s a mindset shift. It delivers the why behind whole-being care through powerful stories, science and solutions.
Chiropractic providers deliver the how; and that “how” is organized through the seven pillars of whole-being care:
- Investment – Prioritize your health before it becomes a crisis.
- Replenishment – Give your body the recovery it needs to restore.
- Nourishment – Fuel healing with intentional, whole-body nutrition.
- Movement – Maximize movement for growth and longevity.
- Adjustment – Restore balance and support the nervous system’s full expression.
- Contentment – Beyond opioids and chronic pain to clarity and resilience.
- Revitalizement – Reconnect with your purpose and reawaken your vitality.
These are not just lifestyle choices – they are a blueprint for sustainable, empowered health.
Why This Matters More Than Ever – Especially for Our Children
The MAHA Report validates what chiropractors have long practiced: Health is not found in isolation; it is created through integration of choices. It’s something you build – intentionally, daily and holistically.
As Adjusted Reality reaches readers, it will spark awareness, curiosity and conversations. That’s where you come in. The book delivers the why. Your practice delivers the how.
