Understanding Our Naive Fear Of Disease
Why shaking hands is out at the Olympics? “Olympians are told to fist-bump, not shake hands, to prevent the spread of norovirus.” Let’s begin this post by excluding the obvious…when skiers are wearing mittens, how does “fist bumping” offer greater protection from bacterial or viral infections than shaking hands? Clearly it doesn’t, but consumers would […]
HEALTHY CHILDREN FROM AN ADULT PERSPECTIVE
What do you believe plays a more important role in the development of healthy children? Eating healthy, exercising, playing in a social environment with other children, getting adequate sleep, drinking adequate amounts of water, family love, spiritual guidance OR Receiving up to 72 Vaccinations from the age of 0-18? .

ASK YOUR DOCTOR

SYNERGISM: The Path To Good Health Or Disease
Most of us view the concept of Good Health and Disease in simple terms. Good Health is viewed as a state of existence without symptoms or where symptoms exist without interfering with quality of life or function. Disease or “ill health” is viewed as a situation where symptoms directly interfere with quality of life and/or […]
A MEDICAL DOCTOR THAT DECIDED MEDICAL DOCTORS DIDN’T HAVE THE ANSWER
Cleveland Clinic is considered one of the best hospitals in the United States. Dr. Mark Hyman is the Medical Director at Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Functional Medicine. He has a “laundry list” of accomplishments in the field of health care. The average person would assume a physician of this quality knows what it takes to […]
“IT’S FOR THE MOST PART, PREVENTABLE!”
When is the last time you took a moment to consider where you fall on the spectrum of health and disease? I don’t mean whether you’re experiencing “symptoms”, but rather whether you’re living life under the terms you control and desire. Most people never take the time to consider this option. They simply follow habitual […]
CAN YOU GUESS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DISEASE?
ANSWER: THE INFORMED CONSUMER There are certainly many factors that culminate in disease, but the INFORMED CONSUMER has CHOSEN to IGNORE many of these factors in favor of satisfying personal desires and conveniences.

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BALANCE
The television program, “Good Morning America” had a segment about a 26 year old female that decided to transform her body from competitive physique athlete to average everyday “Jane.” She posted the photo above on Facebook to share her (initial feelings of “shame”) with the world before deciding she was happier with the new person.

OSTEOPOROSIS: The NON DISEASE accused of causing bone fractures
As we age, our bones become less dense. This is a NORMAL part of the aging process. We have been taught to believe a reduced bone density increases our chances for FRACTURES. In reality, bone density (in and of itself) is NOT a good basis for determining the likeliness for fractures. The combination of physical […]
CHOOSING BETWEEN DIFFICULT CHOICES
Life has many challenges; some of which we can’t control. Then there’s the choices we make among the options that are available to us. At face value, some of these options may look DIFFICULT. They may involve “things” we DON’T WANT TO DO or even ENJOY, but are necessary to develop and maintain the mental […]
IMPRESSED?
YOU SHOULDN’T BE!! These are simply pictures without a story behind them. All they prove is I’ve successfully developed muscles. They don’t measure my HEALTH, they don’t measure my HAPPINESS, they don’t measure my commitment to ANYTHING other than muscle development. Aesthetics is a common GOAL of exercise. Clothes don’t fit…, mirrors become the enemy…, […]
