"“The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence..."
- Vince Lombardi
Are you committed to your health and wellness?
The mindset of many seems to be “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” That mindset has led to the state of our national healthcare…1 out of 2 people will be or have been diagnosed with cancer…40% of the population suffering a major cardiovascular event (heart attack or stroke)…20 million people with Diabetes. If you do make it past age 65, the chances of losing your mind (dementia or Alzheimer’s) is skyrocketing…if you live to age 85, you have a 42% chance of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. 98% of the population lives with sub par body function…low energy, hormone issues, poor digestion, body aches, etc. They aren’t diseased, but they aren’t well!
There is a better way…There are 7000 research based articles published each day providing statistical analysis of trends in health and disease. Everything from how to lower your cholesterol, to your relative risk of dying if you eat peanuts every day. They measure how agile and coordinated rats are if they eat blueberries. They compare people who take aspirin every day to those who don’t. If you can think of it, it has been measured.
While I have not and will not read 7000 articles per day, I have absorbed a tremendous amount of statistical evidence and condensed it into some basic principles that we can observe and apply, simply and naturally, to achieve a lifetime of health and happiness.
And you can experience that through our TRUE HEALTH 12 MONTH WELLNESS PROGRAM…
STEP 1: COMMITMENT!
“I want to live 100 years in health and happiness!” The 12 month time frame is based on being committed. It is also based on the mathematics of cellular repair. Deepak Chopra has calculated the time it takes for your body to repair, or more specifically, reproduce each organ, tissue, and cell. For example, the liver is brand new every 3 months. All your bones are brand new every 6 months. 98% of the cells in your body and brain are brand new over 12 months time. What a wonderful concept…if you are unhappy with the way you feel and function, you can keep what you like, and trade in everything else for an upgraded model over the course of a year. You may have to change a few things, like the raw materials that feed your body and brain, or the stimulation that energizes your body and brain. Would you be willing to make those changes with the promise of an upgraded model, a higher performance vehicle that feels and functions better and faster? How about to eliminate the fear of falling ill or succumbing to a disease?
STEP 2: MEASURE, MEASURE, MEASURE.
To remove doubt and replace it with certainty, you need to have a measure of success. The “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” model is based on how you feel. What is feeling good? What is feeling great? Do you know? You can only compare how you feel to how you feel. What if your ability to make energy is impaired by 25%, but you can only compare your energy level to your past energy level. We also know that people who “feel ok” die of heart attacks and are diagnosed with cancer. My guess is they didn’t feel good compared to someone who feels good. They may have “gotten used to” being tired after a meal, or having their knees ache every morning. Perhaps that even compared well with their past experiences of how they felt.
Measuring everything from blood and urine chemistry, to body fat and postural alignment will allow you to compare you to statistical ideals. Measuring will allow you to “see” your genetic strengths and weakness, and to support those areas in need. Measuring is an objective feedback, a statistical “how am I doing, what are the results of my life so far.”
STEP 3: APPLY, APPLY, APPLY!
In other words, take action…make a change. Pick out the areas of your life, up to this point, that are not supporting optimal health and happiness. Change the way you eat, supplement, move and/or think…and then RE-MEASURE. At this point it is important to measure how you feel and function, as well as measure the objective tests. You should feel and function better… your labs and other measures should be better. You should be healthier and happier than you were before. I’ve never met an individual that couldn’t improve. I believe that the world is created that way…that you can improve function every day, every year, for the entirety of your life…if you choose to commit, measure/observe your results, apply/make changes, re-measure, re-commit, re-apply, and so on… I believe that we will never be done, so we better start enjoying the journey, wherever we are right now.
How does True Health help you in this process/your journey?
Specific measuring, with the knowledge base of how to increase your health and happiness, simply and naturally…
Specific coaching, teaching, and hands on treatment…
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY: Your alignment in gravity, and ability to stretch and move, are key to the health of your bones, joints and muscles, which all stimulate the brain. Chiropractors have proven for over 100 years that sound structural health is more than coincident to total health. We will provide a precise measure of your structural health, and the chiropractic care and muscle work to achieve structural integrity.
CHEMICAL INTEGRITY: Chemical markers (LABS) are direct measures of health quality. All are flexible within the realm of nature, meaning there are no traditional labs that can’t be corrected by natural means. We will provide one of the most comprehensive lab evaluations available today, and recommend supplements and dietary guidelines that produce optimal and adaptable body chemistry.
EMOTIONAL INTEGRITY: Our thoughts and emotions are intimately connected to the autonomic nervous system, which runs all our automatic functions. If you want to run effortlessly on automatic, we may have to look at your mind/body response to your life. We will provide Neuro-Emotional Therapy to release negative beliefs and emotional patterns to allow undisturbed automatic function, in health as well as life.
MENTAL INTEGRITY: Doctor translates to teacher. If you aren't certain of lifestyle habits that promote health and happiness, then we will be spinning the proverbial hamster wheel. We will provide regular education and experiential seminars on a lifestyle that will maintain growth in body and mind throughout your life.
What can I expect in this program?
Adaptability: This is the key to a long happy and healthy life. Adaptability looks like:
Movement through life with ease (Versus pain, stiffness, or soreness!)!!
Intelligent eating while enjoying the pleasures of life (Versus the “craving -> weakness -> guilt” cycle)!!
Imperturbability: Having control over your emotions, while still experiencing the emotions of life (Versus fear, guilt or grief)!!
Confidence and renewed faith in the human body: Namely yours (Versus fear of breaking down)!!
Chemical stability: Sustained energy and happiness though well regulated (and naturally regulated) hormones and blood sugar!!
Feel better in your own skin: Physical / chemical balance and emotional calmness leads to a higher self expression and image!!
Look better: Using our simple lifestyle principles, you can shape your body and look to your desire!!
Sounds good …What is expected of me?
This is NOT an “I can’t” program at all. If you have spent any time with me at all, you know that I choose to enjoy life in balance and harmony with natural laws, not in avoidance or extreme limitations. If you choose to have 6 cookies or candy bars per day, every day, I might suggest a different program. I believe there are limitations to what our body can handle. (That is our ability to adapt…adaptability) If you do not want to live within your body’s ability to adapt, you will continue to weaken and be susceptible to disease. If you live within your body’s ability to adapt, you can expand it, and actually increase the number of cookies you can eat in one sitting, without a negative consequence. (Not every day, unfortunately!) I offer “subtle” changes in lifestyle that won’t turn your world upside down. However, if you require something drastic or dramatic, you should not be on a wellness program; you should be on an intensive care regimen problem solving toward a wellness program.
The TRUE HEALTH 12 MONTH WELLNESS PROGRAM looks like this:
24 OFFICE VISITS: There are many benefits to regular doctor visits…as a chiropractor; I will check your alignment and adaptations to gravity and the physical stress you endure. I can check emotional associations to areas that you struggle to change. I can listen, counsel, discuss, and assist your living the lifestyle you want. I will hold you accountable for the changes you desire.
3 OPTICHEM LAB ASSESSMENTS: A comprehensive measure of all traditional chemistry markers, used to direct changes in diet, supplements, and lifestyle.
4 WEEK INTENSIVE: A class series that teaches the basics of lifestyle application, as observed through statistical analysis. This series will challenge you to create momentum by asking you to perform a modified fasting program to cleanse and reset your body chemistry in a big way in a short period of time. This series also teaches you about you…how your brain processes and experiences your life, and how you can improve the efficiency of processing positive change. You can repeat this class series up to three times.
MONTHLY CLASSES: To update research and dig deeper into how your brain functions and changes. Each class is unique and geared toward a particular part of the brain, a particular “element” of Chinese medicine, and a particular chemical topic.
THE “TRUE HEALTH MANUAL”: A book I have written to summarize the concepts and techniques that I teach in my classes. A reference manual for living a long, healthy, happy, growing, adapting, fulfilling life.
WHAT DOES THIS PROGRAM COST?
This whole program costs only $1800, paid out monthly at $150 per month, interest free!
We offer a discount of $300 if you pay for it up front, so a one time payment of $1500.
You couldn’t get better “health insurance” for less. The retail cost of one lab is $450-600 if you ran it directly through LabCorp. (We have negotiated a fee far less than that by paying direct.)
By being a part of our wellness program, you receive our services at about a 30% savings, depending on the payment method you choose. And, if you have health insurance, your benefits can be applied to the fee after we verify them specifically to our services.
I am immensely proud of the content and affordability of this program. Let us assist you on your journey through life in health and happiness.
