Chiropractic Care and Healthy Eating |
| Regular chiropractic care and consistent, healthy nutrition represent two powerful lifestyle choices for people interested in supporting their long-term health and well-being.
These life-affirming action steps work together to give you more energy, more restful sleep, and an overall positive mental attitude. When you don’t get enough nutritious food, your body doesn’t work properly. Supplies aren’t available to build strong cells and tissues. Toxins accumulate. People wonder why they feel tired and listless. A big part of the answer is too much of the foods that are harmful and not enough of the foods that have high nutritional content. Also, when your body’s out of alignment, joints, muscles, cartilage, and ligaments are all working against each other. Your body wastes energy because these biomechanical structures are literally at cross purposes. Even maintaining a seated posture or standing for a few minutes becomes stressful and painful. Regular chiropractic care addresses these biomechanical problems and helps your body to work much more easily and efficiently. Regular chiropractic care and healthy nutrition work together to provide optimal health. There may even be delightful, unexpected benefits as your body and mind begin to work in harmony. |
Plenty of people go through plenty of suffering trying to lose weight. But why does it have to be that way? Surely there’s some discipline involved, but the process can actually be empowering and personally fulfilling. Weight loss doesn’t need to be about suffering. Losing weight can actually be fun.
The fun part of losing weight is the fulfillment and personal satisfaction you get out of doing what you said you’d do. The fun part is seeing the pounds come off, week by week. The fun part is seeing yourself get back in shape. And, the very fun part is the free day that you enjoy each week. The free day is built-in to your losing-weight food plan.
What’s a free day? You want to be on a food plan that changes your body’s metabolism – one that flattens out your blood glucose levels, one that flattens out your blood insulin levels. The result is a body that knows how to burn glucose for energy, rather than a body that’s out of synch and stores glucose as fat.1,2
The best way to normalize your metabolism is to eat five or six small meals per day. This is not news. This powerful approach to maintaining optimal body weight has been around for many decades. And the multiple small meals food plan works just as well today.3
This approach has a surprise bonus – a built-in fun factor – the free day. The free day fulfills two important functions. First, your body needs to know that it’s not in starvation mode. If your body thinks it’s starving, you’ll begin to store fat. So you actually need to have a free day once a week.
Your free day also has a very important psychological purpose. You’re doing work and following a plan. A break from the plan is necessary; otherwise it’s going to become boring. It’s great to look forward to your free day and the opportunity to break the routine.
On your free day you can eat anything you want. After a while, you become less exorbitant on your free day. You still eat more pure-fun foods, but you find you’re eating less in terms of mass quantities. You just get more normalized, naturally, as you find yourself listening more to what your body really wants and needs.
Your free day, combined with the ongoing positive feedback from your bathroom scale, makes it possible and realistic to continue on the multiple small meals per day plan.
Over time your weekly weight loss decreases and eventually you stop losing weight – you’ve reached your body’s natural weight. This is a major accomplishment. Your food plan has become a way of life. You’ve learned how to eat so that you’re healthy, fit, and well. Make sure you celebrate!

Father’s Day Special
It is this time of year that I like to find time to be thankful for my Dad. He’s always encouraged and continues to support me in my life. He’s forever willing to listen to me and offer good sound advice in life’s challenging times. He has instilled within me the strong belief that I can do anything I set my mind to and it is because of him that I became the healthcare practitioner that I am today. With that, I’d like to acknowledge him and say THANK YOU Dad!
As I’m sure all of you have a father, take the time to say Thank You to yours. Like last month’s Mother’s Day, you don’t have to go out and buy him anything, as I’m sure he already has enough. Just take the time to let him know that he’s been important to you in your life and I’m sure he’d appreciate that.
My Offer To You
As a gift to ALL Fathers who are not currently a Practice Member, I offer you the opportunity to schedule an Exam and Consultation with me before the 30th of June. This is my way of saying that I value all the father’s out there and I wish to help them for what they do in our lives. This is a $225.00 value and it will allow you to find out if there are any unknown health concerns that might be sneaking up on you. I will take an hour and a half to fully evaluate how all your major organs and systems are doing, and see if your nutrition and elimination systems are working properly. I will then take the time to inform you of the options you have to help your current state of health, and the opportunity I can offer you if the circumstances allow for it. Otherwise, I will make the appropriate referral to the qualified healthcare provider of your choice.
As a gift to ALL the Fathers who are currently a Practice Member, I will offer you a FREE hour consultation to discuss any aspect of your health you are not currently happy with and would like to change. The hour consultation can be used to discuss exercise, diet, proper foods to be eating, detoxification or any other topic that is of a concern for you. During this 60 minutes I will help you strategize a plan to change these concerns and get you moving in the right direction. This will allow you to continue improving your health more fully. This must be taken advantage of before the 30th of June.
If you know of any fathers who do not currently subscribe to this newsletter and would like to help them, please forward this information to them and ask them to go to www.spineboy.com/newsletter and sign up. You’ll be helping them a great deal. And it’s really a painless procedure. Simply type your e-mail address, your first and last names, and then hit subscribe. It’s that easy.
Be mindful, This offer is good until the last day of June. The appointment must be made during that time period. As of June 30th, this offer will expire.

Are You Connected?
| Clean/Restore |
| When you do a clean restore on your computer, you restore the initial factory settings. You wipe the slate clean of all the junk – unnecessary programs, spyware, and viruses that have accumulated along the way. The result is a clean, lean machine that runs faster and works much better.
Extending the connectivity metaphor, is it possible to do a clean restore on your body? In one sense, definitely not. You’d first need to backup all the things that make you who you are – the things you’ve learned, your experiences, your personality. The cells of your body retain these sorts of memories, too, and your environmental experiences have a significant impact on your DNA. In another sense, though, it is possible to do a clean restore, on a cell-by-cell basis. Your body’s cells are constantly renewing themselves, doing their own versions of a clean restore. If you provide the appropriate inputs in the form of healthy, nutritious food, plenty of regular exercise, and sufficient rest, your new cells will be faster, smarter, and better than the ones they are replacing. |
Being connected is very important in our modern world. Could you imagine how you’d feel if you left your cell phone at home? For teenagers, a cell phone is much more than a tool. For teens, cell phones are status symbols, but they also represent a connection to the tribe, a connection to their human network. For teens and adults, cell phones are lifelines. What about web connectivity? Many of us begin to experience withdrawal symptoms if we’re separated from our Internet connection for more than an hour. Others check their email every few minutes, ongoingly, throughout the day, every day.
We may feel secure if we’re well connected in the external electronic world, but it’s even more important to be well connected in the internal physiologic world. In the external world we think in terms of networks, primarily in terms of Internet connections. In the internal world networks are the key, too – neurologic networks, of which our nerve system is comprised.1,2
The nerve system consists of the brain, cranial nerves, spinal cord, spinal nerves, and miles of peripheral nerves which connect the spinal cord and spinal nerves to every other cell in the body. In the body, the rules are simple. If a cell is not connected to the nerve system, the cell’s activities become disorganized and it becomes diseased and eventually dies. In a related scenario a cell may be connected, but the nerve signals it is receiving are inaccurate or inappropriate, due to problems within the nerve system itself. The results are the same – the cell’s activities become disorganized and it becomes diseased and eventually dies. If enough cells are affected, the person develops symptoms and becomes sick.
“Problems” within the nerve system often result from spinal subluxations – a loss of full mobility between one or more pairs of spinal vertebras, with associated spinal muscle tightness or spasm, spinal joint inflammation, and spinal nerve irritation. The free flow of information between the nerve system and the rest of the body becomes compromised. Both ends of the network receive inappropriate, ineffective information and the result is a “system crash” in the form of symptoms and disease.
Chiropractic health care is especially designed to restore effective connectivity and communication between your nerve system and your other body systems.3 Your chiropractor specializes in identifying the spinal subluxations at the root of the problem and using gentle, safe, effective methods of care to restore proper balance to your spine and nerve system. Optimal functioning begins to be restored and improved levels of health and well-being are the natural result.
