Weather Diversity 🌦️

The weather is back and forth. Fall is trying to start but then summer doesn’t want to end. I’m looking forward to a rainy and snowy winter. I remember back when I was a kid living in the Santa Cruz Mountains, we would always get a downpour of rain every year. We would walk around in the rain, trudging through the San Lorenzo River, living it up and having fun.

The food plan this week was on point and consistent. I absolutely love eating beef, eggs, rice, and cheese. It’s such a great combination and it even tastes good cold. When you create your food plan you should enjoy choosing foods that are delicious and healthy. Just because you are eating healthy doesn’t mean you should not enjoy your food. I literally look forward to every meal on my food plan and you should too. The days of eating dry chicken breast and disgusting broccoli are over for me.

My exercise plan is going strong and I enjoy doing the stair master before my weight training. When you do weight training, it’s best to split muscle groups up into parts and spread the program over 3 to 4 days. I also think being efficient with your time is a productive strategy to maximize your time in the gym or at home. I love to superset my workouts so that I’m not wasting time resting. If I can’t superset, I will stretch between sets. Stretching is important to do every day. The best time to stretch is during wasted time, like when looking at IG, FB, or watching a movie.

Spine care is the most important part of the Chiropractic Lifestyle because if your spine fuses together, you won't be able to move normally and the energy from your brain can’t power your organs, muscles, and glands normally. Spine care is vital for optimal health and normal function, especially as you age.

Remember, you are in charge of your health. Your future self will thank you for the healthy decisions you make today.

Halloween Vibes 👽

Living the Chiropractic Lifestyle is the best way to stay healthy and maintain optimal function. The best approach to health follows the principle of Occam’s razor; the simple solution is often the best solution.

We hear about so many ways to get healthy and stay healthy. This can be confusing and complex. Life doesn’t come with instructions on how to eat, or how we should take care of our bodies to maintain health. We are left to figure it out through trial and error.

I have tried many different strategies for health over the years, and I finally came to the conclusion that you only need to focus on 3 factors: healthy food intake, regular exercise, and regular spine care. This combination has helped me and hundreds of others get healthy and stay healthy.

The food plan was amazing this week. I feel full and satisfied and I never get hungry in the evening. I took a break from coffee a few months ago and don’t even miss it. I used to drink coffee because of the flavor and I never really felt any kind of energy from it. This is probably because I drank coffee for so long my system grew tolerant to the caffeine.

I’ve been keeping up with my morning exercise routine and my body wakes up naturally without an alarm clock. In fact, even if I tried to sleep in, I couldn’t. I’m wide awake at around 4:37 a.m.

I’m keeping my spine healthy by maintaining mobility, alignment, and strength. The key is to prevent and slow down arthritis as we age. Once arthritis, or degenerative disc disease sets in your spine, not only will you have pain, but you will lose function in your ability to move and maintain a healthy body.

Well, I hope everyone has a great week. Keep pushing forward and never give up!

Have No Fear 👻

Wow, what a week!

Fall is creeping in and I can’t believe we are in the midst of the holidays. One of the biggest challenges this time of the year is staying consistent with your food plan. The best strategy is to pick and choose foods that mirror your plan. You don’t have to eat exactly the same thing every day as I do. You just have to understand the food categories and choose similar foods when you are eating outside your food plan. Moderation is key. You can indulge in some holiday delights, it’s all right, just keep it light.

My exercise plan is on track and working well for me. The biggest challenge lately is finding the gym open in the morning. My gym normally opens at 5 a.m., but unfortunately, the person with this opening shift sleeps in frequently. For a while, we had a reliable person who would be consistent and never oversleep, but she had to go to another gym and now we are left with this new person who is irresponsible and should be fired. 

The Chiropractic Lifestyle Spine Care Plan is on track and I’m taking care of my back. I especially love my “IntelliRoll” which helps me mobilize my mid-back area. My chiropractor helps me mobilize my neck and lower back and I’m doing my core stabilization exercise to maintain a healthy posture and normal spinal alignment.

Enjoy your week and stay on the path of health and wellness.
