Happy Halloween 👺🎃👻

I’m sure a lot of adults will be partying like rock stars this weekend! I remember those days going to parties and nightclubs to celebrate Halloween. I had a lot of fun. I guess when you get to my age the holidays have less meaning and seem to be more for the kids.

I hope you had another great week sticking to your healthy Chiropractic Lifestyle. Sticking to the food plan is usually the easiest part for most people. The hardest part is squeezing in the exercise and daily activity. 

Most people prioritize money over health and use work excuses as to why they can’t exercise. The truth is that you must make time to maintain your mobility, flexibility, and strength. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences. Your excuses don’t care about you. You must make time to take care of your health. You may need to sacrifice rest or entertainment to fit in your responsibility to care for your body.

True health care consists of the lifestyle you practice. Medical health care is not designed to keep you healthy. It’s to diagnose and treat disease. Your physician and the emergency department are there to help you when you get sick or injured. We need these services to help us. But, don’t rely on the medical system to prevent disease. This is your job to maintain a healthy lifestyle. 95% of all diseases are directly correlated with physical, mental, and chemical stress you are subjected to on a daily basis.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Be careful out there and NEVER drink and drive.

Carpe diem!

Who likes free candy? 🪐

These weeks are going by so fast! Time is flying and the temperature is dropping. Keeping your food plan on point is a great strategy to contend with the holidays. Stay consistent with your healthy food plan and don’t let a few days of indulging sabotage your health goals. I’ve had plenty of days where I ate some things which were not congruent with my desired food intake. However, the next day I was back on track pushing forward.

Psychologically you may feel influenced by adverse behavior inspired by your environment. You will have weak moments and you should always enjoy the moment and your life. The secret to successfully maneuvering through uncertainty is to fall back on your quality improvement strategies. Most people are completely oblivious to any kind of food methodology. Fortunately, you understand the big picture and realize the insignificance of temporary deviation from the norm. This allows you to quickly recover with zero impact on your metabolism and health.

This is also the best time to do all your workouts in the mornings. Too many things can come up after work, so it’s better to just get up every day at the crack of dawn and put in some work at the gym.

Stay strong and consistent for optimal health. Your future self will thank you.

It's Your Life 🌞

The Chiropractic Lifestyle is the key to a long and healthy life. Living your life in this way addresses mobility, strength, and healthy food intake. The only other thing you should manage would be your stress levels.

Stress can be physical, mental, or chemical. We are bombarded by stress from every direction on a daily basis. Stress is like gravity, there is no escaping it. Therefore, stress must be managed. Managing stress is specific to the type of stress. 

Physical stress is something you can minimize by maintaining good posture and ergonomics at work. How you lift things, sit, stand, and many other factors like hobbies, can be accumulative and slowly wear and tear on your body. A strategical minimization of stress is a valid approach when done in conjunction with increasing your stress capacity by making yourself stronger. The stronger your body, then the more physical stress you can endure before you reach critical levels.

Mental stress needs to be managed by controlling your reactions to events, responsibilities, and social interactions. The key is to THINK before you REACT. When you feel yourself starting to react to something, pause, breathe, and wait for the feeling to subside. You are in total control of your emotions and you choose how you feel on a daily basis. Meditation is also another way you can calm your mind and let go of anxiety, guilt, sorrow, and stress.

If you let mental stress sabotage your life, it can have the same effects as physical stress and even be detrimental to your cardiovascular health and hormone regulation. With high mental stress, you can experience abnormal muscle tension, headaches, gastrointestinal issues, emotional fluctuations, increased blood pressure, and high cortisol levels.

Reducing chemical stress is a no-brainer. It’s hard to avoid all chemicals in the environment because they are everywhere. However, you don’t have to purposely ingest chemicals on a regular basis. This can be accomplished by eating organic food, eliminating alcohol, stopping smoking, and don’t do drugs.

Stress can encompass many aspects of your life. Take action now and apply some of these strategies to help reduce the burden of stress in your life.

Happy Oktoberfest 🍺

Who’s ready for the holidays?! 🧟🎃🥧🦃🍗🎄☃️🎊

Some people find it difficult to stay on track during the holidays with all the good food and parties coming. The key is to stick with your food plan every day during the week. When those days come when you want to indulge in some delicious treats, then they won’t have a significant impact on your overall food plan. Like I always say, it’s not what you sometimes do that causes problems, it’s what you do most of the time.

There’s no excuse for not getting in your daily exercise. If waking up in the morning when it’s cold and dark is too hard for you, then you must go at lunch or after work. The problem with after work is that there may be more activities planned than usual during that time, so it makes it easier to skip your workout. It’s better to just get up at the crack of dawn and go hit the gym, or go for a walk.

Please, don’t forget about your spine care. Most people only think of spine care when their back hurts. You must be proactive with your spine because it’s a complex moving joint structure that's subjected to tremendous daily stress and therefore is susceptible to spinal misalignments and motion abnormalities. Taking care of your spine is a lifelong responsibility. If you neglect your spine, you will suffer the consequences.

I hope everyone enjoys the last warm days of the year and keep pushing forward toward your goals 🙌
