I Am a MAN on FIRE

This Daily Sprout was posted back in 2010.  But I wanted to toss it back out there for you because it is an important message.  For me.  Lately, I have been battered a but by the effort of life, feeling the weight of many things.  And the place that I often go, to remove me from the feeling of stress, is here.  To the place of knowing that there is a purpose and mission that I have been designed for, and that the more I get pulled away, the more I need to pull back in.  I hope this helps […]

Workout of The Week

Today, we will not only post a workout of the week for you, but we’ll also talk a bit about lactate threshold.  So first off, why do you care about fitness?  Because it is a measure of health.  It reduces your risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and more.  It gives you function, climbing stairs is nothing, carrying kids up mountains is nothing, you simply do more.  Period. So lets get after it!  Not to mention the value of greater bone density, greater growth hormone, more sensitive leptin receptors, etc, etc.  Ok, Ok, I am moving on.  So this thing […]

Soy or Whey?

This article comes from Dr. Axe, and for my regulars, you know the answer already.  But for those newbies who have been around for only a short time, you might be wondering what the best choice is.  Well, the simple verdict is NO Soy!  We are Whey all the Way, and specifically, grass fed, non-denatured, four ingredient whey protein (ours doesn’t have the negatives that he comments about below). There are reasons, and Dr. Axe talks about them.  But I wanted to touch on the GMO crop really quickly.  Monsanto has developed a seed that is Genetically Modified for SOY, […]

The WHY behind CrossFit

I have been a chiropractor for 12 ish years.  I have been on the chiropractic lifestyle for 16 years, and I have been concerned with my health for that same number.  Honestly, at 24, I did not care about my health.  At 25 it all changed, because of chiropractic. So, that being said, I have been in pursuit of greater health for that entire time.  Obviously I have messed up at times, I am not saying that.  But I have still pursued this concept of health as a general goal.  So what is health?  The five pillars that Maximized Living […]

Gardasil – Useless?

Perhaps you saw this link on my Facebook Page.  If not, please take a look, this is part of the ongoing evidence that our country has a messed up medical system, that allows profiteering in the name of health, based on lies, and ripe with risk.  Read on to see Ms. Cain’s article.  Notice the date, this isn’t new news, it is simply shocking, and ongoing, and so often overlooked – Dr. E   The Liberty Beacon By: Sarah Cain Dr. Diane Harper was the lead researcher in the development of the human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix.  She […]

That awful real life thing strikes again.

Sometimes its easy to live a life of health.  Sometimes it is really hard.  You never know which one will be the reality.  I have some patients who have shared failure after failure with me.  What kind of failures?  All of them. It might be diet, it might be exercise, staying committed to chiropractic or sleep.  What is it for you? One, all?  Well, it is good to hear my folly once and awhile, as I think it is good for me to see the falter of the disciples, or to hear my pastor share his difficulties.  The point is […]
