Healthy Alternatives to Toxic Household Products Today's episode is a continuation of last week's on toxicity in our daily lives. With spring cleaning upon us, it's important to note that cleaning up our homes can also mean cleaning up our health, and we're here to give you some tips on how to do just that. Learn what household products could be causing harm to your body & what healthy alternatives we suggest in order to avoid the damage of toxins. First up let's talk about water. Tap water has been found to contain a plethora of toxic chemicals including arsenic, and lead just to name a few. Not only can this be harmful when you're drinking water, but also when you're taking a shower, brushing your teeth, etc. The easiest thing you can do to avoid toxic tap water is to get some sort of filtration system whether it's individually on your shower head, sink, or through your entire house with a whole-house filtration system. Another toxic household item you may want to consider switching is your cleaning products. Ashley Berlin explains that what you're spraying on your kitchen counters matter because if your kids drop food on the table and eat it, they may be consuming remnants of the toxic cleaner that was previously used there. There are plenty of clean brands nowadays that make non-toxic cleaners such as Branch Basics, but if you're looking for a cheaper option check out our article to see how you can make your own at home! Be sure to listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Ryan & Ashley's recommendations for non-toxic cookware, makeup, and more! And be sure to reach out to your local MaxLiving office for details on how you can attend their Terminate Toxins event in just a few weeks. *Please note: the information shared on this podcast are the opinions/views of the hosts.

3 Hidden Toxins in Your Everyday Life Due to the recent toxic spill in Ohio, it's raised concerns for a lot of people about the presence of dangerous chemicals in our environment. Toxins can be found in our food, water, and even the air we breathe causing damage to our health. MaxLiving and the 5 Essentials prioritize minimizing the amount of toxins present, whether through detoxification or by adopting new lifestyle habits to mitigate chemical exposure. In this episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, Dr. Ryan & Ashley Berlin discuss the issue of toxicity and how to avoid it. In order to live a healthy, toxin-free life, you have to become aware of what toxins you're encountering on an everyday basis. The Berlin's explain the three main culprits of toxicity including pharmaceuticals, processed foods, and chemicals that enter through the skin such as makeup, sunscreen, personal care products, etc. While reducing exposure to these items is a great start, there are other detoxification strategies you can take to further help your body heal and function optimally. One way is to get regular chiropractic adjustments to remove interference in the spine and nervous system. Additionally, you could take supplementation such as MaxLiving Detox System or Max Cleanse to flush out toxins. During the month of April, our MaxLiving offices across the country will be hosting their own Terminate Toxins event where you can learn more about how you can steer clear of toxins on a daily basis. Reach out to your local MaxLiving location for details and ticket information. *Please note: the information shared on this podcast are the opinions/views of the hosts.

How Can Chiropractic Care Transform My Life? Our MaxLiving Chiropractic Clinics see miracles happen in their office everyday. Now you may be wondering - how can chiropractic care change someone's life? By finding the root cause of our patients' health problems, we may be able to help improve the functioning and healing of the body. You see - chiropractic is centered around your spine and nervous system which are the core of all of your body's functions. When there's interference in the spine and nervous system, your body can't function as it's supposed to since communication from the brain to the body is disrupted. Through the use of x-rays and nerve scans, we can help pinpoint the interference in the body and perform unique chiropractic adjustments to restore healing. Tune in to today's episode to hear real stories from MaxLiving Chiropractic patients about how living a 5 Essentials lifestyle has transformed their wellbeing. “There's no better time to change your life than right now,” -Ashley Berlin. If the testimonials shared in today's episode made you think of yourself, a friend, or even a family member who struggles with their health, it's time to do something about it. Investing in your health now will only help you in the future and we're here to help.

How to Get the Most Out of Chiropractic Care While you may think all chiropractors do the same thing, or offer the same quality care, that isn't the case. MaxLiving Chiropractic doctors spend countless hours training on processes and procedures that help their patients heal and function optimally. When it comes to the outcomes of a patient's care though, MaxLiving chiropractor Dr. Ryan Berlin and his wife Ashley say that there are 3 key components that influence how effective a patient's chiropractic care will be. Tune in to today's new episode of The MaxLiving Podcast to learn how to get the most out of your chiropractic care. No matter if you're a new corrective chiropractic care patient, or a long time maintenance chiropractic patient at your re-evaluation, these questions will still influence your results. How frequently are you supposed to be getting adjusted? How often are you actually getting adjusted? The answers to these two questions can tell our doctors a lot about how committed the patient is to getting their results. For example, if the doctor recommends you come in three times a week for corrective care and you're only coming in once a week, that's a problem. Are you doing your prescribed homecare exercises? Dr. Ryan says that “50% of the results that happen in our office come from people that are doing the work at home.” That means if a patient is coming in for their adjustments but not doing their homecare, they'll most likely only see a portion of their desired results compared to optimal results if they were doing their homecare exercises. What unhealthy lifestyle habits are you working to change in order to keep your spine and nervous system functioning properly? If you're sitting bent over at a desk for 40+ hours a week, sleeping on your stomach, etc. it could be damaging to your spine & nervous system. Put the time in to make lifestyle changes so that all the work you're doing at the chiropractic office to remove interference doesn't go to waste. We hope today's episode gave you some insight on how these questions and answers could influence the outcome of how well your body heals with chiropractic care.

Understanding Fat & Your Metabolism Did you know that there are action steps you can take to possibly speed up your metabolism? Since your everyday behaviors make up your metabolism, eating a healthier diet or even working out may be able to increase your metabolic rate. Don't miss today's episode of The MaxLiving Podcast to learn all about fat and what you can do to increase your metabolism. Dr. Ryan and Ashley Berlin explain the 3 primary purposes that fat provides to the body: Insulation Protection of your organs Storing energy Fat isn't always a bad thing - it's actually essential to the wellbeing of your body (in healthy amounts of course). Similarly, your metabolism is responsible for all the functions in your body to keep you alive, including the process of how the food that you eat turns into energy or heat. Our MaxLiving offices across North America are hosting their “Kickstart Your Metabolism Makeover” throughout the month of February.

Give the Gift of Health If you're having trouble finding the perfect gift for your friends, family, coworker, etc., we've got you covered. Gift giving is all about bringing joy to your loved one's life, and the fact of the matter is, it can be hard to bring joy to someone who's lost their health. Rather than giving a gift that lasts a few days, a season, or a year, Dr. Ryan and Ashley Berlin discuss giving a gift that will last a lifetime - the gift of health. While health may seem like a huge gift, it doesn't have to be. Many of our MaxLiving doctors offer a discounted price on the first visit, which is a perfect option to gift your loved one so they can get started in the office and get a baseline of where their health is currently. Another option is to give your loved ones metabolic testing. MaxMetabolix is our functional nutrition & toxicity testing program that helps to detect disruptions & deficiencies in the body. If you're looking to give more than just one visit or test, you could also give an entire care plan so that your friend or family member has all of their chiropractic visits taken care of. Ashley and Ryan mention other health-related items that they've gifted throughout the years, including any of our MaxLiving supplements, or the MaxLiving Align Your Health: Maximizing Your Pregnancy, Birth, and Newborn book. No matter how big or how small the gift you decide to get this holiday season, consider if it will make an impact on that person's life. Health is something that everyone needs, but a lot of people don't value until they lose it. Get started by contacting your nearest MaxLiving office. Want more of The MaxLiving Podcast?

Dieting vs. Lifestyle Care Today's episode of The MaxLiving Podcast features guest host and former MaxLiving Dr. Blake Livingood. Dr. Blake's father struggled with his health, ultimately leaving him to have open heart surgery, and take 15+ medications daily. After seeing how poor his father's quality of life was getting, Dr. Blake brought him to a MaxLiving doctor and was amazed at the results. His father was able to fish, bike, and most importantly, feel himself again. “The two greatest days of your life are the day you're born and the day you find out why,” -Dr. Blake Livingood. Tune in to hear why Dr. Blake now devotes his life to lifestyle care & giving the body what it needs to thrive, over dieting for example.

Dr. Blake explains that his job is to help people get the right information and apply that knowledge so they can live a healthier life. We tend to overcomplicate health, when in reality health isn't difficult. Just as trees need plenty of water, sunlight, and soil, we need food, water, and a healthy environment.

Finding Motivation to Exercise Moving your body is an extremely important aspect of staying healthy but unfortunately, a lot of people skip it. If you find yourself saying, “I don't have time to exercise,” “I have a bad knee,” “I'll do it tomorrow” or “the gym is too far,” today's episode is a must-listen. Hear former Crossfit gym owners, Dr. Ryan and Ashley Berlin explain how to get off the couch and find motivation to exercise. No matter your age, health, or shape - it's never too late to start exercising. While that may sound intimidating, it's not what you think. Exercise for everyone doesn't mean running a marathon, it means intentionally moving, sweating, and ridding your body of toxins everyday. Dr. Ryan says that one of the worst things you could do for your health is to stop moving your body because it slows you down and may cause your health to decline. Instead, keep exercise… Simple Fancy workout equipment isn't always needed to get the job done. Make things simple by using the equipment you have on-hand at home. Fun Don't force yourself to run if you hate running. Instead try doing a workout you enjoy such as Zumba, biking, or swimming. Easy/Accessible When you're not motivated to exercise, make the components that go into exercising so easy that you can't pass it up. Is your gym a mile down the road? Did you set out your exercise clothes the night before? Do you have weights sitting in your room? The exercise program we as MaxLiving believe meets all those criteria is MaxT3. MaxT3 is a high intensity interval training program (HIIT) which can help you get maximum results in just 12 minutes. This short, yet effective at-home workout focuses on 3 principles of type, time, tempo and can be adjusted to secure specific results. If you're someone with a super busy schedule, looking to maintain your health but also spend quality time with your family, MaxT3 is the answer.

Since then, Dr. Gold has been passionate about teaching the principle of chiropractic to the world, leading her to teach at Sherman College of Chiropractic, the Columbia Institute, & more. She reflects back on her chiropractic journey and tells the story of when she was invited to be in a debate with a well-known writer/pediatrician Dr. Robert Mendleson, a member of the CDC, and a chief hospital pediatrician. Regardless of whether or not Dr. Gold's beliefs were the audience's “popular opinion”, she stood her ground and stuck to the principles of chiropractic. She also spent time working with her husband Reggie in their chiropractic office. For every patient they saw, they made a conscious effort to educate them about subluxation and how removing it could help them function at their full potential.

Healing Your Body with Chiropractic Care Everyone deserves to live a healthy life where they can function at their full potential. Why is it though that so many of us live with health issues and don't do anything about it until it's too late? In today's episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, guest host and MaxLiving Dr. Marc Surprenant and Dr. Neil Cohen of Sherman College of Chiropractic, discuss healing your body with chiropractic care. When it comes to the functioning of the body, it's important to know that it's never stagnant at 100% - it's always fluctuating and moving. One way to maintain as close to full function as possible is to prioritize the health of your spine and nervous system through chiropractic care. The nervous system is the master controller of the body, meaning it controls the functioning of all of the body's systems, organs, etc. If there's interference in the nervous system, the body won't function or heal properly, causing symptoms and disease to occur. Dr. Neil Cohen explains it best, “health isn't how you feel… it's how you heal.” Although you may feel fine, there could be interference in your body that will not only restrict your ability to function and heal, but also hold you back from being the best you can be. Take responsibility for your health with chiropractic care. Through the use of x-rays, we can pinpoint the interference in your body and perform specific chiropractic adjustments to remove it, allowing you to heal and function properly. If you know someone struggling with a health issue, share this episode with them to give insight on how chiropractic can help them feel their best. Available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more!

How to Heal a Diagnosis Naturally Most people when learning their medical diagnosis put their health in the hands of their doctor, letting them decide what options they should take. What people don't realize though is you aren't limited to just drugs and surgery. Your health is your choice, and if you strive to come out on top over your diagnosis, it's imperative you seek out other options such as learning how to heal a diagnosis naturally. In today's new episode, hear guest host and fellow MaxLiving chiropractor Dr. Cameron Maynard share his story and action steps for how he helped his mother heal naturally from colorectal cancer. Dr. Cameron's 3 steps for how to heal a diagnosis naturally: Reflect While time doesn't seem to be on your side after first hearing your diagnosis, Dr. Cameron strongly suggests that you pause and reflect on what likely caused your condition. By doing so, you can pinpoint the interference and take the necessary steps to remove it. If you skip this step, you run the risk of not getting better due to the fact that you might still be implementing poor habits that continue to damage your health. Research After reflecting and being honest with yourself, it's vital to research all possible options and outcomes of your diagnosis. Don't just research the common options that you hear most people do - dig deep and search for natural alternatives. Go all in Once you've done your research and have a road map of what you plan on doing, the most important step you can take is to go all in completely and commit to your plan. Block out the noise and opinions of those who tell you what you're doing is wrong and instead, prove them wrong. The best results happen when you give all your effort to it.

Who to Trust When Making Health Decisions In this week's new episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross talk about who to trust when making your health decisions. Unfortunately, a lot of information people share about health has been censored, making it hard to find the truth. This causes people to trust the first thing they read on the internet, which is concerning since the source of the information might not be credible. According to Dr. Nick, the best way to check if the source of a health claim is credible is to look at that person's track record to see their outcomes. For example, if you're trusting the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), you should note that their track record for health in the U.S. is not as it may seem. Dr. Nick mentions that in the past 60 years, our health problem statistics have increased dramatically. He says that “we have the worst health outcomes,” due to the fact that we don't know what health is or where it comes from. We can fix this problem though by getting curious about our health and finding the root cause of the problem rather than trusting the first thing that pops up on our Google search. At the end of the day, health isn't defined by how you look or feel, but how you take care of yourself. You have to identify who you trust first, and make your health decisions on what you feel is best for you and your body. By doing so, you can live your best life without limitations! Our MaxLiving clinics across the nation are ready and willing to help you find credible sources you can trust. Feel free to reach out to a MaxLiving office near you to see how we can assist you: https://maxliving.com/locations/ Have a question you want to ask Dr. Nick and Dr. Traci?

Don't Let Symptoms Define You How do you know if you're healthy or not? Most people judge their health on if they feel great, their numbers are in normal range, or if they look good. The thing people don't realize though is you can feel great, look good, and have normal numbers, while simultaneously having a disease develop in your body. In today's new episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross talk about how to help your body function at its optimal potential through finding the root cause of the problem. Dr. Nick explains that health is “less about how you feel, and more about how you're functioning.” You may look fine, but if the body isn't working at 100%, you aren't going to be the healthiest version of yourself. Symptoms don't just develop right away – normally, your body loses function for an extended period of time before you develop the symptom. Majority of people take medication to cover the symptom up though, which only ends up being a short term solution. Instead, we have to start questioning what caused the symptom to occur in the first place. Dr. Nick mentions that our healthcare system doesn't focus on the nervous system when treating illness and disease like chiropractors do – they just focus on the individual part of the body that's bothering you. Meanwhile, our nervous system controls all health and healing in the body, which is why our MaxLiving clinics look to the nervous system first to find the areas of dysfunction. They do this by taking x-rays of the spine to pinpoint where the problem is, and then come up with a plan for how to fix it. Through specific chiropractic adjustments and exercises to do at home, the symptoms not only begin to become relieved, but the whole body starts to function better as well! If you are struggling with symptoms, don't accept it as your “new normal” that you have to deal with for the rest of your life. A MaxLiving doctor can help transform your life by finding the underlying cause of that symptom and restoring optimal function in the body!

Stay True to Your Beliefs About Health The world as we know it is divided now more than ever, making it hard for individuals to make decisions about their health without being constantly questioned by others, or hearing opposing messages all around them. If you're on the fence about how you should approach your health, Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross suggest that in order to make a decision, you need to get curious and dig deep by doing your own research. In this week's episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, our hosts discuss how to stay true to your beliefs when making health decisions. The question everyone is wondering is if natural immunity or artificial immunity will protect you best from viruses. Whether you are interested in receiving artificial immunity or not, the reality is, natural immunity will always be there. Whether your natural immunity is strong enough to prevent you from getting sick though, comes down to how you take care of your body. Dr. Nick explains that MaxLiving doctors believe that you can enhance your natural immunity through the 5 Essentials. In order to achieve true health, you have to realize that “nutrition matters, toxicity is a problem, oxygen [and exercise] is crucial, a healthy mindset is vital, and a balanced nervous system is the foundation” to maintaining a healthy body. After doing your own research and understanding what you believe, the best thing you can do is find other like minded people who believe the same as you. By doing so, not only will you realize you're not alone, but the thousands of people who are on the fence will realize that they are not alone either. “You have a say in your health and when we stand together, we can live the way that we want to live,” -Dr. Traci Gross. Furthermore, you also need to question yourself to see if your actions are truly aligning with your beliefs. For example, if you believe that your natural immunity will keep you protected from viruses, are you taking the correct steps to build your natural immunity up? By asking yourself this question, it will allow you to live the life you desire. Ultimately, “you choose what you believe and you choose how you take care of your body,” -Dr. Traci Gross. We need to band together and use our voice to stand up for what we believe in!

Living the 5 Essentials® Lifestyle In this week's episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross talk about how to live your best life through the 5 Essentials. The first essential they mention is “Mindset,” which is key to achieving true health. If you want your health to change, you have to realize that what you were doing before wasn't working. By making this mindset switch and committing to a new way of living, you'll be on your way to making a positive change. Read more about mindset here: https://maxliving.com/five-essentials/mindset/ Next, “Minimizing Toxins” is one that people often overlook since they don't realize just how much of an impact toxins play on their health. Whether it’s the drugs we take, products we use, or food we eat, toxins are extremely harmful. Dr. Nick reminds viewers that “what goes on the skin goes into the body,” meaning that personal care products such as makeup, antiperspirants, and fragrances all can cause harm to the body. Although completely eliminating toxins sounds like a better option than just minimizing your exposure, it's utterly impossible to get away from them. Toxins surround us in everything we do, whether we know it or not, so it's important to minimize exposure to the known elements and detoxing your body to get rid of it. Learn how to minimize toxins here: https://maxliving.com/five-essentials/minimize-toxins/ “Nutrition” is the next essential, which focuses on what Dr. Nick calls, “food by God.” Food by god eliminates sugar, and bad fats, while focusing on fruits and vegetables in order to raise glutathione levels. Read about the importance of nutrition here: https://maxliving.com/five-essentials/nutrition/ “Oxygen & Exercise” doesn't have to be as intimidating as it sounds. By engaging in high intensity, short duration exercises, such as our Max T3 program, you can get the workout your body needs to thrive! Find the benefits of exercise here: https://maxliving.com/five-essentials/oxygen-and-exercise/ Finally, the core of our 5 Essentials is “Core Chiropractic,” which puts the health of your spine and nervous system at the forefront by correcting spinal abnormalities to eliminate interference and unlock your full potential. Learn the benefits of chiropractic care here: https://maxliving.com/five-essentials/core-chiropractic/ At MaxLiving, we provide a different form of healthcare that allows you to maintain health for the rest of your life. By following our 5 Essentials, you can become the person you've always wanted to be. Prioritize doing good for yourself today, so that you can be changed tomorrow.

Making Health a Priority We all strive to be healthy, but are we taking the necessary steps to achieve a healthy lifestyle? In this week's episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross discuss action steps you can take on a daily basis to boost your health. In order to accomplish true health, you have to make it your top priority. It isn't going to be easy at all to do so, but over time you'll learn from your mistakes and make the right choices to operate at your full potential. Dr. Traci explains the concept of the health continuum which goes from “health” to “life” to “death”. The closer you are to health the better, because if you aren't healthy and just living, you're one step closer to sickness and disease which leads to death. Our MaxLiving doctors believe in vitalism (or innate health), which is the idea that “your body is self-healing and self-regulating on its own” (Dr. Nick). In order to achieve health on the continuum, you have to understand that your lifestyle and choices you make cause interferences in the body which inhibit it's natural ability to heal itself. Therefore, you need to become aware of what you are putting in your body because it becomes a part of you. Read more about innate health here: https://maxliving.com/healthy-articles/what-is-innate-health/ Specifically, what you feed your body is extremely important because “food is a habit that's formed intentionally” (Dr. Nick). Dr. Nick says that if you choose to eat bad fats for example, they not only become a part of you, but also cause you to age prematurely, form inflammation, create oxidative stress, and more. Instead, eating good healthy fats such as avocado or raw nuts can help you maintain a healthy body. Through prioritizing your health and becoming more aware of what you're eating, you can make a positive change. Dr. Nick says that if you're going to eat unhealthy foods such as sugar or bad fats which interfere with your body's innate expression of itself, he would rather you skip that meal because it's only hurting you. This is the process of fasting, which is when you don't eat for a few hours even when you're hungry, in order for your body to burn fat. Although fasting is not the most comfortable task, it allows you to become in control of your body, rather than “being controlled by bad habits, routines, or desires” (Dr. Traci). By taking control of your health, you can achieve so much more than you ever believed you could.

Take Responsibility for Your Health Part 2 This week's episode is a continuation of last week's episode about taking responsibility for your health. If you haven't heard part 1, listen here: https://maxliving.com/podcast/episode-27-take-responsibility-for-your-health/ Why is it that when people get older, some get to live a healthy life and do whatever they want, while others struggle with health issues? Dr. Nick says that the reason their lives are so different is that they took a different path to take care of themselves. He explains that it’s easy for people to take the easy way out and eat fast food, or sit on the couch, but it will make things harder for them in the long run. They'll have health issues later in life because they didn't put the effort in to take care of their health growing up. Meanwhile, if people take care of themselves by eating nutritious food, finding underlying causes of their health conditions, and putting the time in to fix these issues with chiropractic care, life will be easier and much more fulfilling as they get older. Dr. Traci explains that being a MaxLiving chiropractor is incredibly rewarding because she gets to help her patients live their best life through the 5 Essentials®. She emphasizes that the sooner you choose the harder path of taking responsibility for your health, the better your future will be. At our clinics, we make it easy to take control of your health. We look at the spine first by taking x-rays to analyze if there is damage done to the nerves and then take a surface EMG to see where the nervous system is being challenged. This will give a baseline assessment to find the root of the problem in order to come up with a plan for how to fix it. Learn more about what to expect when visiting a chiropractor here: https://maxliving.com/healthy-articles/what-happens-at-a-chiropractic-adjustment-and-what-to-expect-after/ Dr. Nick tells a story of a patient who came in seeking nutritional advice but came out realizing that he needed to prioritize his nervous system instead. Since the nervous system controls everything in your body, taking nutraceuticals wouldn't help his health because his body wasn't functioning properly, to begin with. Once they got his underlying conditions under control, then they could worry about his nutrient absorption and toxicity levels. “The one essential that you neglect is the one that kills you” (Dr. Nick). By prioritizing each of the 5 Essentials® (Core Chiropractic, Mindset, Nutrition, Oxygen & Exercise, and Minimizing Toxins), you can live your life to its fullest potential.

Take Responsibility for Your Health Have you ever sat and pondered if your insurance company really cares about your health? In this week's episode, Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross dive deep into health insurance and question if it's the right option for you and your family. Dr. Traci mentions that according to Medicare guidelines, they do not cover anything which will help prevent disease, promote health, or prolong the quality of life. Unfortunately, most health insurance companies follow these guidelines, which means a lot of people who have health insurance are missing out on the care that could potentially change their life for the better. Dr. Nick and Dr. Traci bring up that if they were running a health insurance company, they would cover nutrient and toxicity testing, the cost of good quality food, chiropractic care, whole house filtration systems, gym memberships, and more! Contrary to what Medicare offers, these benefits definitely help with disease prevention, promotion of health, and prolonged quality of life. The question is though, why do so many people have health insurance if they don't get these benefits? Since health insurance is the norm, people who have it usually follow the guidelines and don't ask questions. For example, chiropractic care is rarely covered by insurance, therefore people can be hesitant to receive chiropractic care as a result. What they don't know is, our MaxLiving chiropractors make chiropractic care as affordable as possible in order to help families achieve their optimal health. Read more about health insurance and chiropractic care here: https://maxliving.com/healthy-articles/health-insurance-and-chiropractic-care/ Health insurance on the other hand can be a lot more expensive. Dr. Nick tells a story of when he went to get an MRI and the cash rate to pay for it was $875, vs. the insurance rate of $2,000. At the end of the day, you have to make the decision of who you want to be responsible for your health. By taking the time to educate yourself on all of the options rather than just following the crowd, you'll feel better about your decision. Everyone's health situation is different, so follow whatever route you need to go in order to become your healthiest self.

Building Immunity Through Your Nervous System A lot of people think that taking supplements will help boost their health regardless of what they eat, but that isn't the case. The reality is that you can take supplements all you want, but they won't fix an already unhealthy diet. In order to give your immunity the support it needs to function properly, you need to analyze the food that you eat. By getting your nutrients from food first, you can then add supplements where you need them in order to maximize your full potential. There are hundreds of different supplements on the market that range in ingredients, prices, etc., but the key to living a healthy lifestyle is to invest in your health now, so you won't have to pay to make up for it later. Dr. Nick's top 4 supplements he recommends are Vitamin D3 with a Probiotic, Vitamin C, Zinc+, and IM support. Buy them here: Vitamin D3 + Probiotic: https://store.maxliving.com/products/vitamin-d3?variant=17924774527043 Vitamin C: https://store.maxliving.com/products/vitamin-c-complete?variant=17924761944131 Zinc+: https://store.maxliving.com/products/zinc?variant=32013924991043 IM Support: https://store.maxliving.com/products/im-support Our nutraceuticals help aid your body by mitigating inflammation, adapting to viruses and bacteria, and so much more! By feeding your body the vitamins and minerals it needs, it will be able to function at its optimal potential! Stress on the other hand can also have detrimental effects on the immune system, causing individuals to become sick, have anxiety, and make them more susceptible to diseases. Dr. Nick says that in order to relieve some of your mental stress, it’s best to turn off the news and spend time focusing on yourself, your emotions, and how you can prepare for the day. Furthermore, physical stress on the spine and nervous system hinder your body's ability to function properly, causing a halt in healing and repair as well. By receiving chiropractic care and following the 5 Essentials® lifestyles, we can strengthen your nervous system in order to help you live your best life!

Achieving True Health Comes from Within Have you ever realized that your body does the right thing at the right time? In this week's episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross talk about how achieving true health comes from within. You may wonder why different people have different reactions to viruses. Dr. Nick explains that this is because “your immune system is designed to react,” and “can get built up over time to get strong and healthy.” The fact of the matter is, what you do to your body matters. Our doctors believe that through the 5 Essentials® – Core Chiropractic, Nutrition, Mindset, Oxygen & Exercise, and Minimizing Toxins, you can give your body the support it needs to function at its full potential. It's important to be aware that your everyday actions affect your body either positively or negatively. Dr. Traci says that one of the most harmful things we consume on an everyday basis without even realizing it is sugar. Sugar is not just in candy, cookies, or soda, but in grains such as rice and pasta as well. So many people eat grains multiple times a day but don't use the glycogen stores for energy, causing them to gain weight. Learn about how sugar affects your immune system: https://maxliving.com/healthy-articles/how-sugar-affects-your-immune-system/ In order to stop this vicious cycle of gaining weight, try intermittent fasting. This is when you only eat for 8 hours a day and fast for the remaining 16 hours. The easiest way to do this is to skip breakfast and wait until lunch to start eating. Since your body is so used to doing the same things over and over again, intermittent fasting will give your body the ability to adapt to change. By giving your body a change, it will be able to do the right thing at the right time. Read more about intermittent fasting here: https://maxliving.com/healthy-articles/why-intermittent-fasting-improves-health-and-vitality/ Dr. Traci says that “your body's ability to be healthy and live is solely dependent on how well your body adapts to your environment.” If we can't adapt, our health will go down the drain, therefore we have to give our body the tools it needs in order to thrive.

Kids and Chiropractic Part 2 This week's episode of The MaxLiving Podcast is part 2 of last week's episode relating to kids and chiropractic care. If you missed part 1, click here: https://maxliving.com/podcast/episode-23-kids-chiropractic-part-1/ Curious to know how chiropractic care would affect your child? Dr. Nick and Dr. Traci say that it's a life-changing experience for not only the child, but the parent as well. After receiving care, the focus switches from being concerned about the symptom to realizing how much better their life is overall. Kids are happier, more well-behaved, eager to learn, and much more pleasant people to be around. By removing interference and helping them heal as a whole, it changes the trajectory of their life for the better! When it comes to taking care of your child's health, Dr. Traci suggests that you trust your own intuition as a parent, rather than listening to a doctor who doesn't know your child as well as you do. As a parent, you know what's best for your child, and that's trusting that their nervous system can heal on its own. Rather than trying to cover up symptoms, we have to understand the power of innate intelligence. Dr. Nick explains that when your child gets a virus, their body heats up naturally to kill the virus, causing them to have a fever. Although many people think that fevers are a bad thing, it's actually a good thing because it’s the body's way of fighting off infection by itself. Dr. Nick and Dr. Traci mention that the best thing you can do as a parent is to be curious about your child's health. By asking questions such as “why is this health problem happening to my child”, rather than medicating their symptoms, you'll gain more information about them and therefore become more empowered. At the end of the day, you are responsible for your child's health, and the last thing you want to do is regret the decisions you've made for them. If your child has a health issue, take your time to find out ways you can help support their body in this natural healing process, such as incorporating the 5 Essentials® into their lifestyle. Read more about the 5 Essentials® here: https://maxliving.com/five-essentials/ Dr. Traci says that a lot of parents have the wrong mindset about health. Parents come in wanting to strengthen their child's immune system, when in reality that's not the right perspective. We need to support what's already inborn and “teach you how to not weaken what is already strong” (Dr. Traci). “We remove interference, remove whatever is causing weakness in the body, and reconnect the brain to the body, the body to the brain so that there is a full communication and full healing,” (Dr. Traci). Through doing this, your child will be set up for a healthy, happy future.

Kids and Chiropractic Part 1 Did you know most of the health problems adults have are triggered by something that happened when they were a kid? In this week's new episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross discuss the importance of kids receiving chiropractic care and how to be proactive about your health – not reactive. Dr. Nick tells a story of a 55 year old patient who took a reactive approach to his health, and waited to get care until after his pain had been bothering him for a while. This patient suffered a fall on his neck when he was 15 years old, and unfortunately didn't ever give his body the support it needed to heal properly. “When you have an accident or injury that isn't taken care of, it's going to worsen over time – and you might not feel that worsening,” (Dr. Nick). If this patient had gotten the proper care he needed after his injury, he probably wouldn't be in so much pain now, 40 years later. It's extremely important to bring your child to a chiropractor whether they are injured or not, in order to prevent and correct injuries that could damage their health for the rest of their life. You might think chiropractic care is only for adults who suffer with back pain – but that isn't the case. Chiropractic is a great tool for those of ALL AGES whether they are in pain or not! By receiving chiropractic care at a young age, our doctors can prevent and correct any spinal misalignment so your child can function at their maximum potential for years to come. When it comes to putting your child's health first, consider the difference of care from medical doctors and pediatric chiropractors. While medical doctors ask what symptoms your child is experiencing and give them something to mask the symptoms, pediatric chiropractors are focused on how to fix this problem for the long term. Chiropractors get to the root cause of the problem, and respect the body in order to support it in the natural healing process. Dr. Traci says that misalignment of the spine and damage to the nervous system will oftentimes show up in the form of a symptom. The most common symptoms babies show are colic, torticollis, or when they have trouble nursing on both sides. These symptoms can be discouraging for parents because they try everything they can to help their baby and nothing seems to help them. Contrary to popular belief though, symptoms aren't always a bad thing. Symptoms are “our body's way of telling us what needs our attention,” (Dr. Traci). By paying attention to these signs, we can give the body the support it needs to function properly. Our doctors will get to the root of the problem and remove interference in order for your child to live their best life.

Neck Pain & Headaches: Finding the Root Cause Part 2 This week's episode is a continuation of last week's about neck pain and headaches. If you missed part 1, listen here: https://maxliving.com/podcast/episode-21-neck-pain-and-headaches-finding-the-root-cause/ Today, Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross discuss multiple factors that could contribute to neck pain headaches including dehydration, toxicity, and misalignment of the alar ligament. Dehydration isn't always due to the fact that it's hot outside and you need more water. Most people don't realize that coffee, soda, or any other caffeinated drinks are known as dehydrants. Dr. Nick says you have to “drink 4 cups of water” in order to make up for just the acidity in these drinks alone. An easy way to analyze if you're dehydrated is by looking at your urine when first you wake up in the morning. If your urine is clear, you're not dehydrated, but if it's yellow – you need to drink more water. When you hydrate, it's important to be aware of what kind of water you're drinking. Dr. Traci mentions that you shouldn't drink water out of the tap because it could contain toxins and chemicals that are harmful to your body. Toxicity in tap water is extremely prevalent being that it doesn't get filtered. There are numerous heavy metals such as arsenic or lead, and other chemicals that can be disruptive towards your brain. Dr. Nick says that if your water is contaminated, you can do what's called “reverse osmosis” to filter it out. If you do this, make sure to add back the minerals into your water though because reverse osmosis filters them out. The third, and often overlooked cause for neck pain and headaches is misalignment of the alar ligament. This is normally caused by trauma such as whiplash, or getting hit in the head, making the ligament stretch and misalign more easily. Dr. Nick explains an at home test you can do to see if your alar ligament is damaged is by closing your eyes, waiting a few seconds and tilting your head straight back. If your head rotates to one side, you might have a stretched out alar ligament. If you or someone you know struggles with neck pain and headaches, there is a possible solution. By visiting a MaxLiving chiropractor, they can find the root cause of the problem by doing tests and structural x-rays to see where the spinal misalignment is. Once they figure that out, they can work with you to correct their problem through patient-specific intentional care in order to help you achieve your optimal health. We encourage you to share this episode with someone you know who struggles with neck pain and headaches – it could change their life!

Neck Pain and Headaches: Finding the Root Cause Do you really know what's causing your neck pain or headaches? There's a common misconception that the pain is coming from sore muscles in your neck, but that isn't the case. “When the neck muscles tighten up, it's not the muscles that are causing the headache, it's the underlying issue that's causing it,” (Dr. Traci Gross). Rather than covering up the symptoms of your pain with medications, or by getting a massage, our MaxLiving chiropractors believe in getting to the root cause of the problem. By doing so, we can dig deep and correct the cause naturally. Dr. Nick mentions a term called “subluxation,” which is when individual bones shift out of their normal position, causing uneven wear and tear, as well as degeneration of the joint. This tiny bone shift isn't only caused by severe trauma or car accidents. It can happen through sports injuries, falling, and even how you sit. Our bodies are being severely affected by this subluxation nowadays being that we spend hours on end hunched over, staring at our phones and computers. As a result of your head being tilted forward for so long, it causes those muscles to stretch, when they should be doing the opposite. Dr. Traci explains that the bigger problem is that subluxation causes damage to the nerves. Since the nerves allow your body to function properly, it may cause issues if they are impaired. For example, if the nerves in your upper neck aren't working properly, it could cause a variety of problems since the brain is housed there, and controls the majority of your body's functions. Instead of putting a bandaid on the situation, we need to focus on getting to the cause of the problem so we can improve our health for the long term. Dr. Nick talks about one of his patients who used to get botox to help with her headaches. After Dr. Nick took x-rays of her spine and neck, he found that she had a reversed cervical curve in her neck due to years of covering up her symptoms. If she had just found the root cause first, rather than covering up the headache symptoms, her subluxation may not have gotten this bad. The big takeaway is that although masking symptoms may give you pain relief, it's not a good long-term plan. You will end up paying the price later when your symptoms are so bad they can't be covered up. We need to correct our problems firsthand! Even though getting to the cause of the problem might take time and effort in the beginning, in the end, your quality of life will be greatly improved for years to come. It's time to stop masking your symptoms and start getting to the root cause of the problem.

The Importance of Gut Health Part 3 To finish up our gut health series with guest, Dr. Phil Harris, this week's informative episode focuses on how to heal the gut, an explanation of leaky gut, and where inflammation of the gut comes from. A lot of people take medicine to cover up symptoms if they have gut issues – but that isn't the answer. Dr. Nick says that in order to heal the gut we have to identify the problem, address the interference, and restore vitality within the body. By following these steps, you'll be able to function at your maximum potential. Dr. Phil explains that “leaky gut is a perforation of the tissue there that allows fluid to pass through in areas it shouldn't be going.” Due to the fact that our body isn't made to accommodate that extra fluid, problems including indigestion and bloating can arise, along with a variety of other health issues. Leaky gut is caused by inflammation, and unhealthy eating, which can trigger autoimmune responses because of the protein molecules. Find out more about leaky gut here: https://maxliving.com/healthy-articles/what-is-leaky-gut/ This inflammation that causes leaky gut is oftentimes caused by gluten as a result of the pesticides and sprays that we put on our grains in the US. Dr. Phil says that gluten in other countries like Europe isn't as damaging to the gut because it doesn't contain these harmful pesticides. Interestingly enough, the pesticides we spray our grains with are illegal in other countries because of how harmful they can be. In order to reduce this inflammation, Dr. Phil stresses the need for more alkaline in our diet. Alkaline can be found in foods like spinach, beets, figs, and more. Dr. Nick says we need to avoid food by science, or “food by man because it's been altered from its most natural state.” He explains that it's good when people get headaches from smelling certain perfumes because your body is warning you of these toxic chemicals. It's problematic because people who have a strong stomach and don't normally have gut pain, don't realize that just because they have a lack of symptoms, doesn't mean they are well. It's scary because a lot of times when that person does start eating healthy, it causes their stomach to hurt because their dysbiosis (or gut balance) is off. Dr. Traci and Dr. Nick encourage everyone who found this episode interesting to attend a MaxLiving clinic near them for our Love My Guts Health Makeover happening this month!

The Importance of Gut Health Part 2 This week's episode of The MaxLiving Podcast is a continuation of last week's episode about gut health, featuring special guest, Dr. Phil Harris. The thing that a lot of people don't realize is that your gut health has a significant impact on your overall health and wellbeing. Therefore if you don't feed and take care of your gut, your health may diminish. Dr. Phil talks about the term “dysbiosis” which is essentially a balance the gut has in order to function properly. If the balance is disproportionate, the gut will suffer, causing other issues to start. Dr. Phil states there are 3 main things that mess the gut up: antibiotics, sugar, and alcohol. He explains that antibiotics create a dysbiosis problem because they destroy the good bacteria in the gut. Since the body has the ability to heal itself, eliminating these antibiotics would avoid the problem of destroying these good bacteria. Sugar on the other hand is in almost everything we eat, whether we are aware of it or not. Not only can it cause nutrient deficiencies, but it can also “deplete and reduce the absorption of several essential vitamins and minerals in the body,” (Dr. Phil). Alcohol is very damaging to our gut as well, being that it's one of the top 3 most acidic things you can consume in your body. When it comes to talking about gut health, we have to analyze what we're consuming on a regular basis. If you want to make a change for the better, you have to find the root cause rather than treating a symptom. For example, if you have a headache, you shouldn't just take medicine to fix that symptom, you need to find the root cause of the headache. In this case, you need to look at what you're feeding your gut. If it's one of the top 3 disruptors that mess up the gut (antibiotics, sugar, or alcohol), we need to do something about it before it causes more than just a headache. If you regularly are consuming one or more of these gut disruptors, that doesn't mean you have to cut them out of your diet completely. Dr. Traci explains that the easiest way to “break a habit is by replacing it with something else.” Dr. Phil says that the first step to doing this is to realize that the approach you've been taking was wrong so you can be open to a new approach. We also have to respect the body's innate intelligence. If we feed our body with toxic antibiotics, we aren't letting the body do what it’s naturally made to do. Through understanding this, we can give our body the tools it needs to function at its optimal potential.

The Importance of Gut Health with Dr. Phil Harris This week's episode of The MaxLiving Podcast features naturopathic physician, Dr. Phil Harris, who talks with Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross about the importance of gut health. Did you know that the majority of diseases start in the gut? You may think that you don't have gut problems because you don't get stomach pain and have normal stool, but in reality, your gut is connected to a lot more than just that. Dr. Traci mentions that “research is finding more and more now that gut health is linked to autoimmune diseases, cognitive disorders, brain function, cancer, fatigue, learning disabilities, allergies, asthma, food sensitivities” and more! The digestive system and the gut are extremely important. The gut absorbs nutrients we take in, which allows our cells to function properly. But, if we don't get enough nutrients, or if our gut has problems absorbing nutrients, it can cause a variety of health problems. Dr. Phil tells a story about a patient of his who had weight issues, headaches and low energy and recommended that she go on a high nutrient diet. Unfortunately though, this didn't help her problems. After submitting a urine test to a lab, they found out that her gut was only absorbing less than 10% of the nutrients she was taking in. Dr. Phil put her on a cleanse to help reset her gut, and she finally started to see results. She started to lose weight, gain more energy, have less headaches, and her gut absorption increased to 40%. “The lining of your gut is often called the second brain” (Dr. Phil). It includes the esophagus, stomach, small & large intestines, gallbladder, liver, and pancreas. Because the gut involves so many organs, it's never working alone. It's constantly “absorbing nutrients, producing vitamins, excreting toxins, regulating hormones and regulating your metabolism” so that your body can function properly (Dr. Nick). Dr. Phil talks about his daughter who suffered from skin problems as well as meconium poisoning and how he learned about the importance of gut health and innate intelligence. By detoxing naturally through drinking raw juices, her body got the nutrients it needed to rid her skin of swelling. At the end of the day, “innate is always correct and knows what it's doing, but it simply has things standing in its way” like toxicity in the gut (Dr. Phil). Through taking care of our gut, our body can ultimately heal itself. Our MaxLiving doctors are committed to helping you live your life to its full potential. If you're interested in learning more about the importance of gut health, our MaxLiving clinics across the country are hosting a workshop called “Love My Guts” this month!

All About Arthritis: How Chiropractic Can Help All About Arthritis! Most times when you hear someone has arthritis, you picture an older person in pain, not able to do what they love. In reality, though, that's not how they have to live their life. Just because someone has arthritis, doesn't mean they can't be active or do things without being in pain. With the help of chiropractic care, they can live the life they've always wanted. In this week's episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross talk about the symptoms and causes of arthritis, as well as how to reach your full potential if you've been diagnosed. Arthritis is a term used to describe inflammation of the joints. People with arthritis usually suffer from joint aches and pains as a result of misalignment. When the misalignment isn't corrected, it causes uneven wear and tear, leading to the deterioration of the joint. Dr. Nick says that in order “to know how to recover, treat, and live your best life, you have to know what's causing your problem.” The typical answer people say for what causes their arthritis is “old age.” But, if the arthritis is in one knee and not the other, how could the pain be caused by old age if both knees are the same age? Individuals with arthritis typically get prescribed medication to mask their symptoms, but most end up staying on that medication for the rest of their lives. The key is realizing that the solution for supporting your health isn’t finding a temporary fix, but rather finding the cause of the problem. Dr. Nick explains how a lot of times people refer to their condition as “my arthritis.” By claiming it as theirs, they’re expressing that the condition is a part of them and there's nothing they can do about it to get better. Yet, that isn't the case. Dr. Traci says that rather than taking “ownership of the dysfunction of the body, it's more beneficial to take ownership of yourself and healing.” Through making this mindset change, the person can focus on living a lifestyle that supports health, rather than a lifestyle that supports arthritis. Dr. Nick tells the story of one of his patients who suffered from arthritis on one side of his lower lumbar spine. Prior to going to Dr. Nick's office, he would take anti-inflammatory drugs and steroid injections to help with the pain. After talking to Dr. Nick, they found out that the root cause of the arthritis was a car accident where his spine shifted out of alignment. By treating his body in a way that was congruent to what caused it, he's been able to golf, go on vacation, and live the life he's always dreamed of. If you're struggling with arthritis and want a different approach to your healthcare, MaxLiving is here to help. We have a whole network of doctors across the country ready and willing to assist you in finding the root cause of your pain in order to help you live your best life.

Life Without Limitations: Unlock Your Full Potential So often we stop ourselves from putting our health first because we think it'll take too much time, or cost too much money. Yet, when we face chronic illnesses due to a lifetime of poor health choices, we spend our life savings to restore the health we once took for granted. Why do we wait until our health diminishes to start making health a priority? Let’s take a look at your Life Without Limitations. In this week's episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross discuss how to live your life without limitations. “When you have true lasting health, you can have a great life,” says Dr. Nick. Dr. Nick talks about one of his patients that recently just lost her brother. 3 years ago, this patient decided to take responsibility for her health issues and join MaxLiving, and by doing so, she changed the path of her life for the better. Her brother on the other hand was dealing with the same health issues and didn't do anything about it, causing his life to, unfortunately, follow a much different path. It's important to realize that the decisions you make about your health affect what road your life will take. For example, you can take the allopathic road of using drugs or other remedies to cover up a symptom or take the MaxLiving path of realizing that “there is an innate intelligence within all of us that is striving towards health,” (Dr. Nick). It comes down to changing our internal environment in order to see results. Ultimately, if you want to get healthy, there's a decision that has to be made. If you believe you are on the path to achieving a healthy mind, body, and spirit, that's awesome – stay with it. But, if you don't believe you're on the right path, are you willing to put the time and effort in to change your life for the better? Dr. Traci explains that “our health has so much more potential than we give it credit for,” and that we need to expand our thinking in order to live a life without limitations. If we do the opposite and stay in the little realm of allopathic medicine, we are limiting our decisions and mentality. NOW is the time to take control of your health before it’s too late. If you think you're living your life with limitations, listen to this week's episode to get insights on how to unlock your full potential. We care about your health and want to help you achieve your health goals.

Who Owns Your Health (Part 2) In this all-new episode of The MaxLiving Podcast, hosts Dr. Nick Wilson and Dr. Traci Gross continue the discussion of who owns your health, and answer just how you can start to take control of your personal health journey. If you have ever wondered if there is a singular thing that you can do to improve your health, this week's podcast may be able to answer that for you, once and for all. When looking for the source of our health (and the source of our illness) Dr. Nick, Dr. Traci, and other skilled chiropractors like them, look to the spine. The spine houses the central nervous system, which Chiropractors believe may be the source of wellness and illness alike. When our nervous system is healthy, it means our body is communicating at 100%. When our body is communicating, that means it's functioning. When our spines are unhealthy, it could mean an unhealthy nervous system, as a misaligned or degrading spine could place immense stress on the spinal cord and the nerves housed within it. Unfortunately, in a system where Chiropractic still exists on the fringes of health in the minds of some, this knowledge has gone unnoticed, and many have yet to take their health into their own hands and pursue the natural health possibilities of Chiropractic care. As Dr. Nick and Dr. Traci discuss, it is normal for them to see new patients that have suffered years and even decades of health concerns and frustrating symptoms to no avail. In this episode, Dr. Nick speaks to a particular client who came to him after 20 years of constant headaches. After years of prescriptions and medications failed to cure her, she took her health into her own hands and pursued Chiropractic care. When she visited Dr. Nick, his x-rays exposed the issue in her upper spinal column, and he was able to create a personalized treatment plan to help her. The result? She lost 13 pounds in 3 months, reversed her diabetes, and stopped getting habitual headaches. In other words, once she took an active role in deciding how she would pursue her health, she was able to find the treatment she needed to heal! Find out the science behind why Chiropractic helped this patient and countless others like her: https://maxliving.com/healthy-articles/the-science-of-chiropractic/ As Dr. Nick says, it has become all too common for people to “want health passively,” when health has to be an active choice that we make. Dr. Nick and Dr. Traci discuss the difference between passive and active care, otherwise known as reactive care, and proactive care. With reactive care, we seek to stifle symptoms as they arise. In other words, we wait until we are sick to try to be healthy. With proactive care, however, we seek to reach our optimal health and maintain it, before illness takes over. With proactive care, you are the one in control of your own health. In this episode, your hosts go on to discuss why taking control of your health is so essential. When you lose your health, Dr. Nick and Dr. Traci argue that you lose much more in your life as well. As Dr. Nick says, “when you're in pain, you're a different person,” leading people to experience problems in their work lives, with their relationships, and more as a result of the emotional impact of poor health. In this episode, find out just how you can take control of your health and why it matters, and get help doing it! Dr. Nick and Dr. Traci discuss the upcoming MaxLiving Friends and Family Week, where MaxLiving offices across the country offer you the chance to bring the people you love and care about into a new way of thinking about health with discounted care.

All Things Heart Health with Dr. Jack Wolfson (Part 2) In this episode, learn about supplementation and all the natural nutraceuticals that can help you support your heart health. As Dr. Nick and Dr. Traci have addressed before, it has become incredibly difficult to get the nutrients our bodies need from our diets alone. With overfarming, processed foods, toxins, and other factors interrupting the nutritional value of food, far too many of us are left with deficiencies in one or more essential nutrients. With the help of natural supplementation, we can supplement our natural health practices. Dr. Jack recommends that everyone should be on several basic nutraceuticals, including a high-quality multivitamin, but in addition, he recommends finding out every person's individual nutrient needs and choosing specific nutritional supplementation based on those needs. Some people may need additional electrolytes while others might need more vitamin D. To find out what you need, there are a number of tests that you can take, such as the ones that many MaxLiving clinics offer! Find a clinic near you and discuss opportunities for testing your nutritional needs. According to Dr. Jack, if you are suffering from heart health concerns, magnesium, nitric oxide, and/or vitamin K may be possible underlying factors. When testing for heart health concern causes, Dr. Jack frequently tests for deficiencies in these three areas, and recommends natural supplements for these three vitamins, which have been shown to lower blood pressure, increase blood flow, aid in cholesterol levels, and more! In this episode, find out about natural alternatives to many of the treatments offered to aid in heart health, from supplementation to Chiropractic care!

It's easy to talk about weight loss, healthy eating, and reducing toxins. It's more difficult to discuss something as intangible as a mindset or philosophy. However, your health philosophy is the most important aspect of health for you and your family. Your health philosophy is what drives every decision you make, from your diet to your sleep patterns. If you have a poor health philosophy or lack a grounded philosophy at all, it can hurt you and your family through what you are eating, the toxins you are coming into contact with, the level of physical activity you are or are not participating in, and even how you prioritize your mental wellbeing. Health philosophy may be an intangible concept, but it is the single most important factor in establishing whether or not you will be successful in your pursuit of health. It is what will drive you to exercise daily, get preventative care from your chiropractor, and stick to healthy eating habits. Or, it is what will lead you to say a chronic symptom is “not that bad” until it becomes a legitimate health concern. The difference between true healthcare and what we like to call “sick care” is all dependent on your personal health philosophy. If you are dedicated to preserving health, you are pursuing healthcare. If you are complacent in treating illness as it appears and negatively affects you, you are reactively turning to care to treat an already present sickness––in other words, sick care. To truly be healthy, you have to establish your health philosophy before a health crisis strikes, because by the time you are facing a severe illness or chronic condition, you have already strayed away from seeking healthcare for far too long. However, no matter where you are in your health journey, you have the potential to change your philosophy. If you are experiencing a chronic symptom like headaches or back pain and your response is to minimize it and say “it's not that bad,” now is the time to reverse your thinking. Why should you live with not that bad? As Dr. Nick points out, compared to other industrialized countries, we are 13th out of 13 countries studied when it comes to several essential aspects of health. We have the lowest infant birth weight, the highest infant mortality rate, and the highest rate of ‘lifestyle diseases' like diabetes and heart disease depleting our quality of life. Dr. Nick and Dr. Traci discuss where these upsetting statistics come from in our nation's health philosophy, and how we can start reorienting ourselves to seek true health before we are affected by sickness. At the core of this change is your ability to claim advocacy over your health. As Dr. Traci says, “you have a choice. It's your body, and you choose what to do with it.” With the help of this podcast and the resources of MaxLiving, you can begin making informed choices to take care of your body in new, natural ways. After all, our bodies have an innate intelligence that allows our heart to beat, our lungs to transmit oxygen to our blood, our cells to fight disease, and our skin to heal, all without any external intervention or conscious thought from us.

I would like to share with you a study describing the importance of proper posture. This was a study published inthe reputable Medical Journal of SPINE in 2005 and was done by a team of all Medical Doctors headed up by Dr.Steven Glassman. They measured posture in 752 subjects from the sagittal plane using full-spine x-rays. Theirfindings were ASTONISHING!! ALL MEASURES OF HEALTH STATUS showed significantly POORERSCORES AS POSTURE WORSENED. Even minor forward head posture was shown to be detrimental. Frombreathing and heart rate, to pain and disability, all health markers that were measured worsened as the postureworsened. This again clearly demonstrates the relationship between a bad spine (subluxation) and its implicationson health, particularly as it relates to bodily function.Specific corrective Chiropractic adjustments help to restore posture by improving motion and spinal integritywhich improves nerve input into the spinal cord and brain, thus, allowing the body to balance itself better inrelation to gravity. This relationship to posture and health has nothing to do with symptoms, which is explained inanother study from the “Journal of Neurophysiology”. In this study Drs. Heidi Haavik and Bernadette Murphyclearly show that a cervical spinal adjustment (ON PATIENTS WITH NO PAIN) influences the brain and cancreate neuroplastic changes in the brain tissue. THIS IS HUGE! The most important part of this study is that thesubjects receiving adjustments DID NOT have neck pain but had confirmed spinal subluxation. How many of thepeople in our community need to know that subluxation creates abnormal brain function without causing anyknown symptoms? The adjustment they received had a direct influence on sensory input and resulted in attenuatedbrain cortical evoked responses. This means it changed their brain for the better! It was noted that “enhancedactive inhibition” of the sympathetic nervous system tone occurred in ALL post-adjustment measurements! Theother cool thing it proved was that it clearly wasn’t a placebo effect; one group was set up for an adjustment butthe adjustment was not delivered and this group had NO neurological change.The bottom line here is that subluxation leads to a bombardment of improper and incomplete signals from themuscles and joints to the nervous system affecting function and health. A specific corrective chiropracticadjustment reduces these improper signals and removes interference to the nervous system, resulting in betteradaptation to any internal or external input the brain perceives. Improving brain adaptability is one of the mostimportant areas of study today in all of healthcare. A proper chiropractic adjustment removes interference to thenerve system and improves brain function. It does this by improving spinal integrity and through improvingsegmental motion in subluxated areas, NO OTHER DOCTOR IS ADDRESSING THIS. This study shows whyeveryone should be checked for subluxation and adjusted if necessary throughout life by a chiropractor trained inthe detection and correction for subluxation through spinal corrective care regardless of symptoms. This is why Ido what I do and why I am so passionate about chiropractic.Biggest Takeaways from this Study:1) There is no way to be healthy without a healthy spine.2) There is no way to know if you have a healthy spine unless you have it checked, regardless of pain orsymptoms.3) The health of your body is dependent on the health of your spine.4) These are reasons backed by science why you and everyone in your family will benefit from being under carewith a Wellness Chiropractor from birth to death.Want to Learn more about Dr Tim Smith and New Life ChiropracticVisit www.NewLifeChiropracticRocklin.comIf you live outside the area and want chiropractic care visit www.MaxLiving.comHelp us share this message by inviting others to the Community DinnerRegister at www.dinnerwithdrtimsmith.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
