Dr. Levi Stress It’s all around us, but what does it do to us? Consider this… the macaque monkeys: when you put them in a cage they establish a dominance hierarchy, a sort of caste system. The dominant monkeys will slightly harass the less dominant monkeys. Macaques with less power and control are in a state of chronic stress. The evidence is in their stress hormone levels.They have higher levels of cortisol circulating in their blood. It’s the same chemical that is released in human beings in response to stress. And when it is sustained at high levels it starts […]

There are many of you who will never come to a total food makeover, or a Body By God Challenge which makes it pretty hard for me to tell you as much as I would like about healthy eating, but as we leak little tidbits to you, I realize there is one area that we haven’t shared in a while… the SERIOUS nature of the Dirty Dozen! The dirty dozen is a list compiled by The Environmental Working Group of the twelve most important foods to eat organic.  Topping this list is celery, followed by peaches, strawberries, apples, blueberries, nectarines, bell peppers, […]

Dr. Eric I love the opportunity to pick up more information about the human spirit… it is an awesome opportunity to grow in knowledge about each and everyone of you, myself, and my family.  Especially when you see people at the brink.  The Garage Games was a two day, six event competition where 305 individual competitors, and 200 team competitors fought it out for top honors! To give you a sense of what these people did… imagine sprinting up a hill, ducking under ropes hung just right to clothesline you, then racing to do clean and jerks, sandbag squats, and […]

Dr. Amy Haas Virtually all pregnant women in the U.S. carry multiple chemicals in their bodies. This chemical load includes some banned since the 1970’s, as well as others used in common products such as non-stick cookware, processed foods and personal care products. A new study marks the first time that the number of chemicals to which pregnant women are exposed has been counted. Researchers analyzed data for more than 160 chemicals and detected polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides, perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), phenols, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and perchlorate in 99 to 100 percent of […]

It was just Monday that I wrote a Daily Sprout about cancer, and commented on the battle that my aunt was in.  Here we are, two days later, and I am telling you that she lost.  It was Tuesday morning when she had her last breath on this Earth, and moved on to be with my savior. I think it is wise for me to take the opportunity that is present here, to talk about cancer.  Straight talk.  You know, it is a time like this, that makes me want to run from what I have learned.  Research is pressing more and […]

We see patients with cancer, we have seen many over the years.  Some in a serious battle, some in a minor battle, all in a battle.  I think it is wise for us to first realize that we are all in that same battle, everyday, we are fighting against cancer cells, in a SILENT war raging inside our bodies. It is the understanding of that silent war that leads us to clarity in the importance of our daily decisions.  Have you ever given any thought to how you would respond if you were diagnosed with cancer?  Would you be scared?  […]

Dr. Levi Occasionally a patient might think, “If chiropractic was so important, how come it wasn’t around hundreds of years ago? What did people do back then?” Well, it has been. It may not have been as scientific (neither was medicine) but forms of manipulation have been around since the beginning of recorded time. Chinese Kong Fou Document written about 2700 B.C. is the earliest indications A Greek papyrus dating back to at least 1500 B.C. gave instructions on how to maneuver the extremities to relieve low back pain. Ancient American Indian hieroglyphics demonstrated “backwalking” Some Indian tribes used manipulative […]
