Dr. Chestnut’s book, ‘Live Right for Your Species Type’, offers an irrefutable, highly referenced, evidence-based argument that unhealthy lifestyle stressors leading to adaptive epigenetic changes resulting in chronic metabolic allostatic load are the root causes of the chronic illness pandemic, not pathological genes or pathological self-regulation. The evidence is unequivocal; unhealthy lifestyle habits are, by far, the leading cause of chronic illness, and healthy lifestyle choices are the only evidence-based wellness and prevention solution. Dr. Chestnut is adamant that chiropractors should take a leading role in providing evidence-based neuromusculoskeletal and lifestyle intervention. 

Dr. Chestnut has also recently developed evidence-based chiropractic and lifestyle clinical intervention protocols which are in use around the world.
