Chiropractor Should be a Health Role Model to Patients

Chiropractor Should be a Health Role Model to Patients

It is not a secret that quality chiropractic adjustment requires physical strength and precision. Musculoskeletal system of a chiropractor is constantly in semi bend positions in order to deliver a proper cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine adjustment. Just like a car we “chiropractors” are going through wear and tear in our body and do require tune up on regular bases in order to function to its full potential. A well maintain chiropractor is a perfect example of health for patients. In the next few paragraphs I will try to explain how I take care of myself at the office and outside of the office.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday are my working days. Get up at 6.00 am and start my morning with Organic Green tea in order to wake my system up. Taking supplements and minerals with my tea is a habit that I have developed over the years. If I forget to take my supplements for some reason there is always a back up package at my office. Stretching and push ups are only taking 15-20 minutes and is another great way to wake up a system and keep your core activated. Making breakfast for everyone is a family tradition. Dropping our son at school at 9am and start work at the office at 9.15am.

We are seeing patients from 9.30am-1.30pm and then from 3.00pm-7.00pm. I do not have typical lunch hours. Instead of going to a restaurant to eat I go to a local GYM and swim 1km a.k.a  0.6 miles. Occasionally I do 1 mile swim when morning patient flow ends at 1pm. My lunch hour is usually done at the office with already prepared healthy meal that I bring from home. Swimming helps me to keep my mind clear and focused. It is the only exercise that activates every single muscle in a human body. But the most important thing it helps me to keep my endurance fitness up to date which is super important for my Mountain Biking rides which ranges from 20-30 miles without any breaks. I call them express rides.

On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday I ride my bike. Tuesday and Thursday is usually 20 miles ride and Saturday is 30 miles ride (that one is painful) Riding bike in a nature is an awesome and magical experience. Besides great benefits for your central nervous system which is being activated from balancing a bike to a precision steering on a single track, it is also a great cardiovascular exercise. When I Ride a bike I always try to push my endurance level to a next level. Strava is an application that records my rides via Garmin GPS and it shows me things such as maximum heart rate, speed, elevation gain, calories burned and much more. Every year I participate in endurance mountain bike races, which ranges from 30 miles and all the way to 50 miles. I race them solo on my single speed 29er. Couple of years ago I have tried Tahoe Sierra 100 which is one of the most difficult races in Northern America. I thought I was ready for that but that was not the case.

Every Friday I get a full spine adjustment from my Chiropractic School Classmate. One Friday he drives to my clinic and next week on Friday I drive to his clinic. Every chiropractor must get what he or she preaches. Chiropractic Adjustment keeps my vertebral joints aligned and helps to function my nervous system at its fullest potential. A well adjusted spine helps me to get better results with my physical activities such swimming and biking. At this point I am 41 years old but deep inside I still feel like I am 20 years old.

Healthy Eating Habit Tips

This is a guest post By Beth Ellyn Rosenthal about Healthy Eating Habit Tips

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

Thomas Edison    

Want to eat yourself healthy? You can, thanks to the immutable laws of endocrinology.

Science has proven how smoking can cause lung cancer and excess drinking can hurt your liver.  And just one touch of a leaf of a poison ivy plant can lead to irrational itching.

The same principle applies to becoming healthy. You can literally eat yourself back into bio balance if  you know what to eat. The theory is: if you understand how your body functions, you can use that knowledge to heal naturally. In fact, you have to return to biochemical equilibrium before you can fix any health problem without the intervention of drugs.

However, you do have to be patient. Natural cures take months, sometimes a year. But then  you fix the problem forever, as long as you control what you put into your mouth.

Here are some examples:

Weight loss

 If you need to lose weight, you must recalibrate your metabolism. The only way to do this is get your body back into biobalance.

You have to get six trace elements that need to be balanced in order for your body to behave appropriately. Otherwise, they will create a biochemical road block that will keep you heavier than you’d like forever.

These six elements are:

People having trouble losing weight are typically toxic with calcium and copper and deficient in the other four elements. So, eat cherries (to increase iron), stop eating chocolate (it’s high in copper, and that will be the hardest one), shake black pepper on everything (increases chromium), eat more bananas (potassium) and seafood (magnesium), and keep the salmon to a minimum (calcium).

PMS, Hot Flashes, Night Sweats and Menopause Symptoms:

 All are caused by a copper/zinc imbalance, which leads to too much estrogen and not enough progesterone in the body.

Most Western women are toxic with copper and don’t have enough zinc. The fix is easy: cut out the foods high in copper, especially during PMS week, and eat more of the foods loaded with zinc.

Female infertility

(If all the parts are working) is caused by a copper/zinc imbalance, too.

Female hair loss

Caused  by a copper/zinc, sodium/potassium and/or a calcium/magnesium imbalance. Sorry, educated eating won’t stop male hair loss but it will slow the process!

Osteoporosis

Is caused by over 30 difficult biochemical imbalances. Not enough calcium is one. So is too much calcium. But the big cause is too much copper. (Swim in the ocean because most pools use copper algaecide. And grapes are for the birds, literally. They are loaded with copper.)

It only takes 21 days to change a habit. Changing what you put in your mouth can change your life.
