How Do I Know What Supplements Are Right For Me?

After I do an exam and identify the underlying reason your body is creating symptoms, I can isolate and verify the precise whole food supplements and quantities your body needs to resolve its problems.  Our goal is to have you take as few supplements as possible, with your body being fully addressed and restored at the same time.

Weight Reduction Program Day 4

Hello everyone.  It has been a couple of days since the disastrous Monday but things are looking up.  My wife has taken charge of the kitchen and is preparing the foods.  Honestly, I would have quit if it wasn’t for her, so thank you Lucinda.  I am eating juiced foods in the morning, with salad in the afternoon.  Lucinda made me a terrific carrot soup.  Now you wouldn’t think that this would be good, but she added avocado, ginger, salt and cayenne pepper and it was surprisingly very good.  I have not checked how much weight I have lost but I have already noticed my jeans are a little looser and my ring on my finger is looser.  I didn’t know that I could hold fat in my finger.lol.  I have been doing weights and I have noticed that I do not have the stamina I used to, so I did add a little protein to my diet.  We have a party on Sunday, so temptation will be great.  Wish me luck!

Talk to you next Monday with an update.

Enhancing Your Wellbeing: Insightful Thoughts for HealthThoughts for Health

Here is another blog regarding my thoughts for health.  The reason people come to see me is they are in some kind of pain, whether it is an acute problem such as a car accident, work injury or a chronic problem that has persisted for many years.  With chronic pain, people tend to assume this pain is a part of their lives since they have had it for years.  One of the first things I must get thru to the patient is that this pain they are having and are used to having is not normal.  Now, you may feel that is obvious, but for someone who has had chronic migraines for years, this is part of their daily life.  So the first thing I have to get them to acknowledge is that this pain they are experiencing can go away and they must accept the fact that pain is only an alarm system telling them that there is a problem.  Most people are taking pain medication to alleviate their pain, but in truth, this only masked the problem, creating long-term problems.  So if the patient can accept the fact that what they have been suffering from for years can actually be helped, this is the first step to recovery.

Exercise and Health

This is the 3rd installment of Health and Chiropractic:

We are always told that exercise is good for you, but no one tells us which ones and how much.  When I was younger, as with most people, I could do any type of exercise and feel fine.  I would run, hit the weights, and my body would respond with my desired results.  But as I got a little older, I noticed this body of mine did not respond the way it used to.  My brain said let’s go, but the body said otherwise.  In my early 40’s I started boxing, which was a great cardio workout as well as building up my muscle tone.  I also like the physical aspect of getting in the ring, but the one thing I noticed was this body of mine could only take so much.  If I worked out more than 3 times per week, it was too much for my body and I became extremely sore.  So I settled in for workouts 3 times per week and enjoyed it.  But like many other people, life took over and I stopped the boxing.  I am turning 48 this year, and I decided I needed another intense workout program, so I started the Insanity program which requires you to work out daily for 6 days, rest on the 7th.  These workouts are generally 45 minutes long.  Well it did not take me long to realize that this body of mine would not recover like it used to.  I became very sore, and my body just did not respond like it used to.  What was happening, the mind said yes to the workout, but the body said no.  I thought to myself, is this what getting old feels like.  I am only 48!  I have decided that instead of the intense workouts, I am going to try yoga, stretching and start on a less intense workout.  So when thinking of a workout program for yourself, realize that your body changes as you age, and what you did years ago, might not be the best thing for you now.  So listen to your body, and you will greatly improve your health thru exercise.
