In this episode of the Diet Doctor podcast, I sit down with Dr Ned Khatib, chiropractor to elite athletes and global performers, to explore the world of high-performance health, peak recovery, and the profound impact of chiropractic care. Dr Ned shares powerful stories from treating WWE wrestlers, WBC boxers and even Justin Bieber—who performed in Melbourne with a broken ankle thanks to intensive around-the-clock care. We delve into the debate over chiropractic efficacy, the misunderstood role of allied health disciplines, and why collaboration between physios, podiatrists, nutritionists and chiros is essential for holistic health. We also uncover the lesser-known miracles of chiropractic—from a young boy’s life transformed by addressing bedwetting and tics, to how intuitive treatment and evidence-based methods can heal not just the body but the mind. Whether you're an athlete, a parent, or simply passionate about improving health, this episode offers insight, inspiration, and practical takeaways for living and performing at your best.
