“While other professions are concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body, chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit the environment.”
-BJ Palmer, Developer of chiropractic.
The healing process involves a lot of steps. Making calls, setting appointments, getting help. You can probably remember yourself at that point, or can think of a friend or loved one facing it now. Next, there is finding out what is the problem (and what caused it), and what you need to change to get better.
On the other hand, the healing process is also really simple. Most of the time, you don’t even have to think about it. Your body takes care of all of it (or nearly all) without you even having to think about it. Just running in the background, like an app or software that doesn’t require any monitoring.
Most of the stress you cause to your body, your body just effortlessly handles all by itself. At least it seems effortless. Of course repair takes effort and energy from your body’s reserves – but the point is what it doesn’t take.
Conscious effort. Your body simply runs on auto-pilot. The rest of the time?
When your brain has to get actively involved, that is where trouble can start. So many decisions – what to change, what habits do you need to start (or stop), do you need to eat differently, get a special workout, stretching etc etc. And the biggest question of who do you need help from.
What if you could design your own recovery? What would it look like?
First of all, the kind of healing we experience most is what you would most want to take advantage of. In other words, to maximize your conscious-effort free healing.
Fortunately, chiropractic was designed for just this purpose, if you read the writing of its founders. The purpose of maximizing your strength and resistance to the stress around you – both physical and mental – not to mention the constantly increasing toxic stew of our modern lifestyle.
So while chiropractors are great at laying out a simple, stress free plan of how often and when to get help, what to do at home, and what to focus on avoiding (to keep from further hurting yourself), the most important thing you can get – the blessing of stress-free resilience and recovery…
…was precisely what chiropractic was designed to achieve.
Your health can protect you from the over-commercialization of the holidays. More and more, we hear about how the holidays have turned into something different than what they used to be. Instead of the “true” meaning of Christmas and other holidays they have become about consumerization. Buying and selling and big online sales, they had taken over the season.

Has anyone told you you don’t need permission to be a superhero? Or that you don’t need someone to tell you it’s okay to help other people? There are some amazing stories of people that decided they didn’t want to wait to help the people around them that needed help. These were people that didn’t have advanced degrees or complicated certifications. What they did have was the sense of action and an overwhelming urgency to start making changes in the world around them.
It’s a classic phrase by Rene Descartes – one that is instantly recognizable. And it comes from a totally unrecognizable world – 1637.
Yet it is still true today. Descartes’ attempt to get to the very bedrock of what he was as a human being is worth looking at as we turn over into the new year. Especially as we examine the beginning of something new – a time when discussions turn to the entire idea of new, and what the idea of new creates – the vision of new possibilities.
Anti-aging is a trick. And like all tricks, it’s not real. We all slow down, grow old, and die. But like all tricks, when done well, they are amazing and fun. Here is how the trick of anti-aging can work for you.
Take the aging progression above and expand it all the way. From the time we are very young, we grow, get bigger, stronger, smarter and generally better at everything as we go.
Here is the solution to understanding an ever-more common anxiety-causing malady. And how the key to solving it is getting two things – knowing what it takes to get healthy – and the power of understanding how to choose the quickest line at the grocery store.
