4 Reasons Grains are Devastating to Your Health

Tue, 20 Apr 2010 17:33:44 -0500

The agricultural revolution is probably the single thing that has led to the expansion of populations and modern civilization, but at the time has probably been more detrimental to our overall health than anything else we’ve encountered. As the agricultural revolution began some 10,000 years ago, civilizations were successfully able to feed and raise larger populations and devote more time to activities that led to advancements in knowledge and modernization...

One of these things is not like the others...

Have you ever been the “thing not like the others” or the one who doesn’t belong? That was my experience this weekend while visiting friends and family at Copper Mountain, CO. When your entire social circle is people living a life putting them in the top percentages of health you forget how your life differs from social norms. Remember, being healthy is normal but being unhealthy is the norm.

The H1N1 Issue: Flu Pandemic, Fear Pandemic, or Both?

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:59:39 -0500

The H1N1 issue has become so prevalent that I thought it appropriate to share some factual perspective. I realize that factual perspective is neither newsworthy nor popular when people are in the midst of a mob mentality of fear but I'm willing to risk unpopularity in order to encourage people to be guided by science, reason, and logic.

You Can't Make Chicken Salad Out of Chicken $#%@

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:17:45 -0500

As my college wrestling coach use to say, “You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken #$%#.” He used this expression when talking about someone’s potential. He preferred a hard worker to pure talent. He often says he doesn’t recruit state champions; he recruits the runner-up, who has potential but is still hungry.

Is your food starving you and making you fat at the same time?

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:42:03 -0500

There are numerous debates regarding food, diet and weight loss. Most people have come to except the weight loss theories based on the laws of thermodynamics which states if you take in more calories than you burn-off you will gain weight and if you burn more than you consume you lose weight. This seems logical but how many people do you know who have counted every calorie in and out and still not lost the weight they desired?

How much life did you squeeze out of your day?

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:35:14 -0500

With the new year underway many people have started working towards their 2010 goals, more have probably already given up and most probably did not even bother to make any. Your focus and your time or rather how you use your time are probably the two biggest indicators of how likely you are to actually reach them.

I learned a long time ago that the quality of your life is determined by the quality of questions you ask. One of my major jobs as a wellness doctor is to get my patients to ask better questions. To get my patients to go from "What do I have an how do I treat it?" to "What caused this and what do I need to do differently?".

The Healing Equation

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:26:32 -0500

Have you ever taken the time to ponder what is actually required for you body to heal? There is a confusion I see on a daily basis with most of our new patients. Most people have been trained throughout their lives to ask the wrong questions regarding their health, most people have been trained to ask what's wrong with me and what drug do I need to take or what procedure do I need to do?

Should You Keep Your Chiropractic Visits When You Are Sick?

The simple answer to this question is yes. I wouldn’t say that chiropractic adjustments boost your immune system; I’d say they help restore it to normal.

How does adjusting the spine help the immune system?

When the treatment is worse than the disease.

The number of prescriptions taken per capita in the United States has grown exponentially in the past 75 years. In 1929, the average American received less than two prescriptions per year. By 2007, the average annual prescription rate per capita in the United States was:

• 4 prescriptions per child (age 0-18)

• Over 11 prescriptions per adult (age 19-64)

• Nearly 29 prescriptions per senior, aged 65 and over!
