So many of you have told me you are committed to exercising more this year, which I hear every year. HOWEVER, this year I think more of it will stick! And the best way to make it stick is to make sure that you find a convenient way to exercise.

Research has shown, more important than any other factor when it comes to continuing an exercise program, convenience is key. Now I don’t want to give the impression that exercise is simply convenient, but when it comes to starting and then sticking with it, it comes down to having easy access.

Heading into the new year, many of you will be on a path for greater health, and that path will include cleaner eating. Healthy eating is really comprised of two components, eating the correct foods, and then the aforementioned “clean” version of those foods.

For those of you who have some knowledge …. {Go online to see this post and watch the Movie Trailer NOW}

Living a probiotic lifestyle. What does this mean? It has been something that has been pressing in more and more on those who are in a health focused lifestyle, and to some extent I have felt like it has been slightly overkill, but I also think think it has its place, so lets delve into understanding this a bit first.

So here I am, writing my now annual tradition article on how the New Year is really a time of renewal. I have been writing and telling this story for years, because there is an opportunity at the new year, to do more, better, faster, than any other time of year. It really is a time of renewal.

For me, as I look at the coming year, I like to take stock of the prior year (usually done without too much rehearsal on my part, just glancing back); then consider what…

Pretty amazing weather we have been seeing.  Rain, warmth… so much warmth that we were greeted with a thunderstorm this evening.  Strong winds, the whole deal, just like a spring storm!  I have had a strong desire for cold weather.  I don’t care for much of it, my 2 and 1/2 decades in Buffalo really took care of that. But there is this thing inside of me that longs for a little cold weather, a brisk breeze, some snow of course.  It just seems like Christmas would be complete with that cold air, vs. the thunderstorm of today.  It kind […]

Christmas is such a great time of year. I know that for those who read regularly, you have seen me write about holidays, and Biblical holidays vs man made holidays. And though the celebration of Christmas is not a Biblical holiday, it happens to be my favorite one. For me personally, it tends to make me want to run out into the world and do good things. The sad thing, is that I often feel too busy to do that….

So, “bad backs” are very common. They are probably 50% of the reason for new visits into chiropractic offices. It is actually the reason why I am a chiropractor. 17 years old, back was going bad, hurting during hockey practice, and built up to a point when (three months post auto accident), I was put on the floor for about four days without moving besides crawling. I saw a chiropractor shortly after that episode, and my life was changed. I was 24 at the time.

I am now, acutely aware of what it takes to make a back strong, and keep it strong, though at times, simple rest is the answer. Certain injuries require a time of rest

There is one more, very powerful reason why you might want to turn your back on conventional milk and conventional milk products. We have taught a line somewhere between dairy avoidance and minimized dairy for ten+ years now. I have come around to look harder at grass fed dairy products and have seen the benefit in them. In my house however, we have continued to stay away from milk.

So, have you heard that we are doing Max T3 classes in the office? Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we lead a workout in the office (at 11:45am), based off the Maximized Living Max T3 principles, and loosely tied to the CrossFit workouts that I preach (it is a bit of a step stool to CrossFit).

So I want to give you an overview of what we do in our class each week, tell you why you should come do the class, and then offer you a workout to mimic the class. First off, Angel and Loree

You have to wonder, just a bit, if it is safe to eat anything from China. There have been so many reports from other countries, and ours, of contaminated products coming off of the Chinese shores, that I personally have a rule not to eat food from China. Awhile back the Goji berry made a huge charge in the US, with products touting its amazing healing properties (I am on the record as saying, there is no such thing as a miracle cure, so far I think time has shown that belief is true most of the time… your whole life added up in summation is the miracle cure… that and God)…
