Dana and I had a wonderful conversation in this episode! Her story is inspiring, and she is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to thinking about your health in a not so western medicine way. She shares how her disability is her gift and how she proved that she could do what she put her mind to! She is also an author and shares more of her journey in her book called Fingered. The link is below for you to go get yourself a copy and check it out!

Dana's Bio
Dr. Stubbs discovered chiropractic not through family tradition, but through her personal experience with disability. Born with Amniotic Band Syndrome causing hand deformities and a club foot, she underwent multiple surgeries as a child. Despite medical interventions, she continued to experience pain and limited mobility. Initially considering pharmacy as a career, Dr. Stubbs realized that health doesn't come in a pill. Her first adjustment in chiropractic school was transformative, saving her from additional surgeries and opening her eyes to alternative care. This experience solidified her decision to become a chiropractor, driven by the belief that maintaining health is easier than recovering from illness. Dr. Stubbs now dedicates herself to helping others through chiropractic care.
