Everybody is where they are at right now because of the the years, days, hours and minutes that have past and the decisions they made in that present time.  So the real question is where are you going?  Are you making decisions to help you live to your potential or are you spending all your time making sure you will keep the status quo?

There is nothing wrong with the status quo as long as you have the life of your dreams and you are living to your potential.  Why sell yourself short?  You are here for a reason and that purpose not only affects you but all the people around you.

So what is stopping you from changing and improving your current reality.  When it comes to health, do you spend time with it daily to insure good decisions are being made?  Remember you are where you are at today because of the choices you have made up to this point.  If you don’t like where your health is at, what should be your first step?

First, can you see yourself differently than your current status?  So many people can’t change aspects in their life because they have no ability to see anything different than their current reality.  You say to yourself, I am this person with this condition and I foresee myself dealing with this forever.  Kind of sounds like what people deal with everyday when they go into the medical model insearch of that diagnosis to explain their current condition.  Once they get the diagnosis, now they have answers and then are told to take medications to control the symptoms forever.  Hard to see things differently when you are not given hope for a better future.

If our thoughts and actions in the past have led us to our current state, does it make sense then that our present thoughts will determine our future?  So, When would it be a good time to start to see your health and life differently unless it is “perfect” now?  The time is now!  Spend some time today seeing yourself healthy, happy, full of energy and doing the things you love to do.  How different does that look than your current reality?

I have a patient that for so many years  has taken Rx medications along with the ironically less dangerous illegal drugs for so long he was afraid of what life would be like without them.  He could not see himself with out them, they were just a part of him.  When he came into our office and starting getting care, his results were slow to progress.  I sat with him one visit and asked him what tomorrow looked like for him.  He said it looked like today.  He explained his daily routine and then told me it had been that way for years.  So I asked him if he thought he could heal and get better?  He said “sure”.  So I asked him if tomorrow looks like today, how is that going to ever change?  He said, “I don’t know but I want it to change.”  I asked him if he expected it to change?  He said, “I guess not if tomorrow looks like today!”  Wow what a powerful thing for him to say.  Since that conversation he has transformed his life and is dramatically healthier today than he has been in 25 years.

Now most of you probably are not in this same exact situation, but minus the illegal drug use  unfortunately it describes the masses in our country.  People suffering needlessly, stuck in their current situation and wanting something different but not expecting it.  Are you living to your potential?  For 99% of the people in the US the answer is probably NO.

What do you need to suceed?  One thing is hope that you can change and improve.  In our office we get to see that happen everyday.  Next you need the ability to see yourself differently.  See you, the new you with health, vitality and energy you haven’t had since you were a kid.  Third you need a plan and a support network that is going to show you the possibilities and help you make them your new reality.   Lastly you need people in your life that have either been there themselves and/or has helped thousands of people just like you make that change.

Our office offers all these things to every patient that comes into our office.  My vision is that everyone plugs into our office and really lets their potential out!  We have got two life changing events coming up over the next couple of weeks.  The first is our movie night fetauring the film Generation Rx on August 7th from 6:15-8:15pm.  Then our next Maximized Living Makeover is also just around the corner and already filling up with people ready to change their current health state forever.  SAVE THE DATE:  August 15th from 1:30-4:30.  Call the office @ 720-747-5333 for more infomation and to register for both events.

Be Well,

Where is your health at currently? If it is not where you want it to be, why? What things in your life are preventing you from regaining health? What is the “CAUSE” of your current situation?

Today we are going to help you learn about your body, how it functions, why and when symptoms appear and finally what is the best way to find out how your body is functioning and healing currently.

Most people admit that our bodies have an innate or inborn healing mechanism inside of it. If you get a scrape on your leg, your body knows what to do to heal it. From a simple scrape to heart disease or cancer, the body knows what to do to heal it. Thousands of times a day your body make changes, fixes problems, destroys cancer cells and heals your injuries.

Now lets talk about our healing system and symptoms. First thing, symptoms are a sign something is wrong in your body and is actually your body performing just the way it is supposed to. So many people view symptoms negatively, although I realize why, they know that it is a sign something is wrong, but the body is acting appropriately to try to fix the problem. We are obsessed in this country with getting rid of symptoms which often times either inhibits our bodies natural healing process and/or makes the problem worse due to side-effects….ie: Tylenol.

Where does all healing come from? You guessed it, your brain and spinal cord. Is it important to eat right, exercise, decrease stress in your life and limit toxic exposure? Of course it is, how ever if you severely damage your spinal chord, does it really matter what you eat? So lets talk about health and finish this conversation on symptoms.

When your are living by the 5 Essentials of Maximized Living: Detoxing the body, restoring proper nervous system function, eating right, exercising (12 minutes/week) and finally maximizing your mind with cutting edge techniques for stress reduction and time management, you are doing everything possible to have our body function at 100%

The life/health cycle of the average American

100%: Living the 5 Essentials.

90%: Body beginning to get unplugged from its life source.

80%: Disease Process is happening.

70%: Breakdown of cells, tissue, organs and organ systems.

60%: Your first symptoms start to show up and most medical

tests will finally start to show positive results. Some

people take action at this point while others will wait to see

if it goes away or they will self treat with over the counter

medications.

50%: Diagnosis occurs from the medical perspective. Treatment of

symptoms begins.

40%: Although symptoms may be getting better, the disease process

continues lowering your health level.

30%: Your treatment side-effects are harming and destroying other cells,

organs and organ systems.

20%: You get checked into the hospital for advanced life saving treatment

or surgery.

10%: Your admitted to a nursing home or some full time care facility.

0%: Is death.

As somber as this graph is, realize that you have a choice at what level you are living. The way we view health in this country is a major contributor to the declining health we see today. We are taught to wait for symptoms to show up and then seek help for the treatment of our symptoms. Even if the treatment “works” and our symptoms decline that has not stopped the disease process from progressing. For example, if you have high blood pressure that is often a sign of cardiovascular disease developing. If you take a medication that lowers your blood pressure artificially the symptom is taken care of but did it “cure” your disease or the cause of that symptom? The answer is no. That’s why heart disease is still the number 1 cause death by a disease in our country. It’s not because we don’t medicate ourselves as in the US we consume 70% of the worlds drugs and yet rank last in most health related categories.

At some point we need to take control of our health and realize the decision you make on a daily basis will determine your future in health and all aspect of your life. The only way to know how your body is functioning and healing is know how your nervous system is functioning. The best way to determine that is by having a computerized nervous system scan along with an x-ray to look at spine structure.
