Episode #87
87 - Dr. Lisa Rister - Part 1 (from Saskatchewan, Canada to The Woodlands Texas)
Hosts Paul Andrews and Dr. Mark Davini welcome Dr. Lisa Rister from The Woodlands, Texas, for part one of a two-part conversation. Dr. Rister shares her chiropractic origin story—from Saskatchewan, Canada, through Northwestern Chiropractic College, to co-founding Spinal Care Chiropractic Center in 1999—and reflects on long-term partnerships in practice. The episode covers clinical observations about obesity’s impact on spinal health, how adipose tissue drives inflammation, and why chiropractors are well positioned to advise on nutrition and lifestyle. Dr. Rister also discusses her advanced training in nutrition and functional medicine, practical experiences with GLP‑1 medications (Ozempic/Wegovy), and the broader benefit-versus-risk conversation surrounding their use. This is an engaging, informative first part that blends personal story with actionable insights for chiropractors and patients interested in weight, metabolic health, and integrative care. Stay tuned for part two next week. spinalcarechiropractic.com/balancepoint-nutrition/
