Episode 26-39 You're Not Crazy… You're Out Of Alignment! Imagine walking around a Department Store, minding your own business, and a 22 pound box falls off of a shelf… landing directly on your head. The impact drives you to the floor where you lie dazed, confused and in pain. You're taken to the hospital and several hours later are told you have a concussion. You're also given prescriptions for a muscle relaxer, a pain killer, and an anti-inflammatory.  Several days later you visit a Neurologist who confirms the diagnosis of a concussion and tells you to continue with the medications. A few weeks go by and you're not any better. In fact, you're worse. Your daily headaches are turning into daily migraines… you have developed vertigo… you're experiencing tremors in your hands… and you are starting to feel depressed. To make matters worse, your Neurologist thinks you're "faking it" as do some of your family and friends… all of which causes you to question your sanity. Out of desperation, you turn to Facebook. Yes, Facebook. Specifically, a support group for individuals suffering with Post Concussion Syndrome. One of the members give you advice… advice that literally does more for you than any treatment you've received up to that point. What was this advice? I talk about it on this week's episode. Real advice, given to a real person with real problems… that resulted in real answers. Be sure to give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.

Episode 26-38 Help For Post-Concussion Syndrome, TMJ and Headaches Very few Chiropractors, Medical Doctors and Physical Therapists receive training in the detection and correction of misalignments to the bones of the cranium (skull). Heck, very few Chiropractors, Medical Doctors and Physical Therapists are even aware that the bones of the cranium move and can become "misaligned," That's a shame because a misaligned cranial bone can be THE CAUSE of conditions such as Bell's Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Vertigo, Tinnitus, TMJ, Headaches, Neck Pain, Memory Loss, Brain Fog, Depression, Insomnia, and Impaired Vision. Although there are many potential causes of a misaligned cranial bone the most common one is head trauma. Yes, trauma to the head is the most common cause of a misaligned cranial bone and can be THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of the symptoms listed above. When this happens… when a person suffers head trauma and corresponding symptoms… it is called Post-Concussion Syndrome. For many sufferers of Post-Concussion Syndrome traditional care from a Chiropractor, Medical Doctor and/or Physical Therapist will provide relief. But not always. You see, there are some individuals with Post-Concussion Syndrome who WON'T get better from traditional care. Individuals who will continue to suffer for months, and even years, after the initial injury. This shouldn't be.  THESE individuals should be seeking out a doctor who is skilled in Cranial Therapy. Someone who knows how to detect and correct misalignments to the bones of the skull. On this week's episode I talk about Post-Concussion Syndrome… how it can cause the variety of symptoms listed above… and what doctors like myself do to correct it. Give this episode a good listen if you, or someone you know, has suffered with head trauma and/or the symptoms listed above. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.

Episode 26-37 A Natural Cure For Bell's Palsy And Trigeminal Neuralgia? Bell's Palsy is a condition in which the muscles on one side of a person's face lose their nerve supply and become weak. This weakness typically results in the eyebrow and corner of the mouth to droop on the affected side. The nerve involved is the 7th cranial nerve, also known as the Facial Nerve.   Trigeminal Neuralgia is a condition where a person experiences sudden and severe pain on one side of their face. The pain usually comes in bursts and can feel like an electrical shock. The nerve involved is the 5th cranial nerve, also known as the Trigeminal Nerve.   In both Bell's Palsy and Trigeminal Neuralgia a cure may be difficult to obtain through standard medical care. Fortunately, there are options beyond standard medical care. On this episode I explore one such option… an approach that I have used to help individuals who were suffering with Bell's Palsy or Trigeminal Neuralgia. Give this episode a good listen... especially if you, or someone you know, suffer with Bell's Palsy or Trigeminal Neuralgia. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.

Episode 26-36 Health Advice To A Doctor And A Preacher One of the hardest things in life is knowing when to speak up… and when to stay quiet. Recently I was placed in such a position. I wasn't sure what to do. Ultimately, I chose to speak up. To say something to two really nice guys. One is a doctor and the other a preacher. I told them that I was concerned about their health. Specifically, I was concerned that they both had Insulin Resistance and that, left uncorrected, it would destroy their health and cut short their lives. Fortunately, they were receptive to my words which allowed me to tell them what I thought they should do to reverse their Insulin Resistance. And THAT'S what I share on this episode: The exact advice I gave this doctor and preacher. Advice I sincerely hope they take. Advice I hope YOU take… and then share with a friend.

Episode 26-35 My 4 Favorite Supplements For Reversing Chronic Disease Too much sugar (glucose) and/or Insulin floating around in your blood is NOT good for you. Why? Because it damages the lining of your blood vessels which then leads to a host of chronic diseases.  Or, stated another way… Most chronic diseases are caused from having too much sugar and/or Insulin in your blood. If you understand this you can understand that the key to REVERSING chronic disease is found in: 1) Reducing the amount of sugar and Insulin in the blood. 2) Healing the damage that has already occurred. On this episode I talk about whole food, natural supplements that help with this process. Give this episode a good listen if you are interested in a natural approach for preventing, and/or reversing, chronic disease. And, as always, be sure to share this episode with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

Episode 26-34 Reversing Insulin Resistance (and Diabetes) Without Drugs! On the past two episodes I talked about Insulin Resistance. Specifically, what it is and why it's so harmful to one's health.  (If you haven't already, please give those episodes a listen.) On this episode I talk about what you can do naturally to help prevent and/or reverse Insulin Resistance and its "partner" Type 2 Diabetes. I also share an important "timeline" that lays out the progression of health issues the typical American faces as he/she ages. From simple weight gain to full blown heart disease and/or dementia, the most common ailments in this country follow a predictable timeline. Once you understand this timeline… and the CAUSES behind it… you can begin to take steps to prevent and/or reverse the associated conditions. Steps I lay out on this episode. Give this episode a good listen if you want to prevent, and possibly reverse, Insulin Resistance and the negative health consequences that come with it… including Type 2 Diabetes. And, as always, be sure to share this episode with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

Episode 26-33 Is Insulin Resistance The Greatest Threat To Your Health? Nearly EVERY chronic disease is strongly linked to Insulin Resistance. Or, stated another way… As you age, Insulin Resistance may be THE factor that causes you to suffer with one or more of the following conditions: High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Alzheimer's, Stroke, Parkinson's, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Obesity, Heart Disease, Autoimmune Disorders, Vision Problems, Kidney Failure, Neuropathy, Bipolar Disorder, Depression.  On this episode I address the basics regarding Insulin Resistance.

Episode 26-32 Insulin Resistance- The "Silent Killer" You Probably Have, But Don't Know It Do you have Insulin Resistance? That's a question you should know the answer to. Why? Because Insulin Resistance is linked to nearly every major chronic disease. Diseases such as High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Alzheimer's, Stroke, Parkinson's, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Obesity, Heart Disease, and Autoimmune Disorders.  Insulin Resistance is also something very few doctors talk about. Why? I honestly don't know. But what I DO know is this: YOU need to know about Insulin Resistance… AND you need to know how to find out whether or not you have it. This is especially true if you are over the age of 30 as the majority of American adults HAVE Insulin Resistance and don't even know it! On this episode I talk about Insulin Resistance and how to determine if you have it.

Episode 26-31 Feeling Lost On Your Healing Journey? Start HERE… More and more people are choosing a holistic approach to healing. Why? Because... 1) It's oftentimes more effective than traditional medicine. 2) It doesn't rely on drugs. 3) It uses natural substances and remedies. 4) It works WITH the healing power of the body… not against it. Unfortunately, pursuing a holistic approach to healing can be problematic. I say that because I've had many individuals tell me that they don't know where to start. On this episode I solve that problem. Specifically, on this episode I share three steps to follow if you want to see your body heal itself naturally… without drugs or surgery. And while these three steps won't tell you exactly what to do in order to experience healing, they WILL give you direction. A framework to follow. Give this episode a good listen if you desire to follow a holistic path to health and healing. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

Episode 26-30 Do This BEFORE Starting A Detox Program… Most doctors and health care providers focus their attention on identifying what to "give" their patients. It could be a prescriptive drug or, if the doctor is more holistic minded, an herb or natural supplement. But what if that's NOT what the patient needs? That is, what if there isn't something healthy that's "missing" from the patient… something that needs to be provided? What if, instead, there's too much of something unhealthy? Something that's toxic to the body. Identifying and eliminating THAT would be the key to healing. On this episode, I talk about the importance of this concept. The importance of knowing what NOT to do. The importance of recognizing your body's need to Detox… and what the first step of any Detox program should be.  Give this episode a good listen, especially if you've been struggling to get healed from a chronic condition.

Episode 26-29 The 2 Causes Of ALL Disease It's hard for your body to heal from a disease if you don't eliminate the underlying cause. That's a pretty logical statement, right? It is. Unfortunately, it's not one that's adhered to… especially by the medical profession. Their strategy isn't to eliminate the CAUSE of disease. Its to prescribe drugs that will "treat" the corresponding symptoms. For example, a medical doctor will prescribe drugs for a man with high blood pressure. Drugs he must take for the rest of his life. Drugs that will NOT correct the underlying cause of his high blood pressure. Drugs that have negative side-effects. It doesn't make sense. It's also not different for any other chronic disease. The doctor will prescribe drugs. Drugs that will do nothing more than "manage" the symptoms. Drugs that will NOT correct the underlying cause. Drugs that will NOT promote healing. There has to be a better way. There IS a better way. An approach to health care that seeks to identify and correct the underlying CAUSE of chronic disease. On this week's episode I share with you the underlying cause of chronic disease. Specifically, I talk about the TWO causes that, in my opinion, are at the root of all chronic disease. This is an episode you DON'T want to miss as it holds the blueprint for healing. Give it a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend. Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

Episode 26-28 How To Heal The Emotional Component Of Your Chronic Disease If you have a chronic disease of any kind, there's something you need to know: There's an emotion involved.  A negative emotion that is fueling your condition. A negative emotion that needs to be addressed and corrected in order for your body to heal. The question is "How?" "How do you eliminate negative emotions from your body?" On this week's episode I answer this question. Specifically, I share several suggestions for ridding your body of negative emotions. Emotions that are holding you back… preventing you from healing. Give this episode a good listen, especially if you or someone you love is dealing with a chronic health condition that seems resistant to healing. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend. Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

Episode 26-27 How A Patient Used Their Mind To Heal Their Body Paul came to my office about a year ago complaining of congestion in his chest, chronic coughing, difficulty breathing and sleep apnea. In an attempt to get better he visited a medical doctor. The doctor prescribed him a few drugs and while they did offer some relief, they also produced some nasty side-effects. Side-effects he wasn't willing to live with. This inspired Paul to pursue a more natural approach. Unfortunately, this also ended in disappointment as the holistic doctor he visited placed him on a ton of supplements... supplements that DID provide some benefit but were costing Paul hundreds of dollars each month. Soon after that, a recommendation from a friend led him to my office. I put him on a program of Chiropractic care, dietary changes, and a FEW supplements. This led to significant improvement… But only up to a point. Despite the improvements, Paul's health was still not where he wanted it to be which led me to ask him the following question: "Do you believe your Mind can play a significant role in healing your Body?" He responded with a resounding "Yes." I then proceeded to give Paul three suggestions... suggestions which he faithfully followed. They worked! On this episode I share with you the three suggestions I gave Paul to get his Mind to heal his Body. Suggestions anyone can use. Please give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend. Thanks! ———————- Want to learn more?

Episode 26-26 A 5-Step Framework For Using Your Mind To Heal Your Body There are times when healing comes easy. For example, placing a BandAid on a cut… or resting and icing a sprained ankle. Both will provide your body with an environment conducive for healing. Unfortunately, there are also times when healing DOESN'T come easy. Times when your condition is much more serious. Times when you've "tried everything" yet still aren't better. THOSE are the times when you should look into the healing power of your Mind. Times when you should consider how improving the way you think can improve the way you heal. On this episode I talk about how to do that. Specifically, I share a 5-Step Framework for using your Mind to create an environment in which your Body can heal itself.  It's a Framework that just may be the "missing piece" of your healing puzzle. Give this episode a good listen if you are interested in adding a powerful tool to your healing toolbox. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend. Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

Episode 26-25 How The "Mind-Body" Connection Can Help You Heal Do you believe that your Mind can heal your Body? I do! In fact, not only do I believe it, I am convinced that the "Mind-Body" connection is the most powerful and under appreciated "tool' available for healing. The question, therefore, isn't "Can the mind heal the body?' The question is "How?" How can you use your mind to heal your body? On this episode I answer that question. More precisely, I lay the groundwork for answering that question. (There will be a "Part Two" next week.) Give this episode a good listen if you have any interest in learning how to use your Mind to heal your Body. In addition, please share this episode with a friend.
