While most holistic health care providers have preached prevention medicine for years, the mainstream health care system as finally come around. Some buzz words are personalized medicine, valued based care, preventative medicine health coaches, etc.
What it boils down to is taking basic care of yourself from an early age to help prevent certain disease processes, for example: type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, Alzheimer's, etc.

Do don't need to spend thousands to get started, here are some low hanging goals you can start to address:

1) Get more sleep: 7-9 hours per night
2) Eat healthy in all foods in moderation
3) Drink more water. Half your body weight in ounces: 200lbs = 100 ounces water
4) Keep your weight in check. More than 45% of the US is obese and another 30% is overweight
5) Drink less, alcohol does not improve health or sleep.
6) Get more exercise. If you are not now, start easy. Go for a walk every day and stretch. At some point start lifting weights.

Ready, Set, Go...

Haven't posted in a while, but this one is worth it. Pretty much what I preach daily.

Lift weights & keep strong = less chance of dying early.

Two studies remind us of what we already know (but sometimes forget).

Merry Christmas!
Looking someone currently suffering from and acute Frozen Shoulder. I am willing to take 2 patients, treatment will be free, but if you are not currently my patient, I will need to perform a new patient exam prior to treating you and the exam charge will be submitted to your insurance for compensation.

I am currently demoing a cutting-edge therapy machine, here at the office. Its call Radial Pressure Wave. I will have the machine for about 2 weeks.

It is the latest and greatest in therapy machines and has been shown to greatly improve Frozen Shoulder.

Here are some of the benefits:

Improved blood flow: The acoustic waves create microscopic tears in tissues, which causes the body to create new blood vessels. This increases blood flow and oxygenation to the treatment area, promoting faster healing.

Reduces inflammation: Chronic inflammation causes pain and reduced function. Mast cells help fight inflammation; acoustic waves increase mast cell activity.

Increased collagen production: Collagen is vital to bone and joint health as it is a key component in the structure of muscle, skin, and connective tissues. Shockwave therapy causes your body to increase collagen production, creating a strong support structure for new cells.

Reduces calcification: Damaged tendons typically have a buildup of calcium. Acoustic waves break through that calcium buildup, which the body then expels naturally.

Interrupts pain transmission: Your body sends pain messages via a neurotransmitter called Substance P. Shockwave therapy lowers Substance P concentrations, interrupting those pain messages. That reduced concentration also inhibits your body’s inflammatory response to provide even more pain relief.

Please message me here or call the office to see if you qualify for the therapy. This will help me decide whether or not I should purchase the machine.

The Intelect® RPW 2 brings the next generation of shockwave therapy to the treatment room using Radial Pressure Wave technology. Designed to activate connective tissue from the surface level to difficult-to-reach ...

It's been a while. There is a link between your immune system, the supplements you take, the foods you eat, overall health status and don't forget exercise too.

They have been relating vitamin D status to COVID severity, here is another study confirming that.

Vitamin D helps bolster the immune system to tackle viruses that attack the lungs, the researchers said.
