Getting so close to moving into the new building. Just across the street from the old location, but more space, and more tools to help more people.

I was a believer in the power of light therapy before but WOW this Rojo red light panel has blown me away with how high tech and powerful it is. Comes with 10 built in protocols to help with inflammation, skin repair, nerve health, and more.

This Sunlighten infrared sauna was described to me as “the Ferrari of saunas” and I believe it. Room for 3 people, with an all touch screen command panel to help get a sweat and properly shed toxins. Toxin build up is a common cause of not being able to lose weight, especially when you have been making great choices with food, sleep, and stress and the weight still isn’t coming off, I start to think tour toxic burden is too high, which could be from exposure to chemicals or you may be a slow detoxer who needs to enhance that system.

The Hyperbaric chambers are awesome. I continue to hear amazing stories of what oxygen saturation can do and I am most excited to be able to have that here in our community.

The body was made to heal itself. Sometimes in our modern world we injure and tax ourselves on the daily until eventually something breaks, and it’s beyond what the body can heal from on its own. Sometimes all it needs is a little extra help.

I am deeper into chiropractic than ever. I am diving into the technique of applied kinesiology, in addition to other techniques, but AK has helped me simplify complex spinal issues immensely! Especially LUMBAR DISC issues.

The idea is to keep learning and growing until you have the best wellness clinic you can find anywhere in the world.

We are just a few weeks away from making the move across to the street to the building on Lincolnway that last housed Addie’s. This week the inside is being painted.

This move begins the expansion into a full functional medicine practice, outfitted with new therapies meant to help people heal.

New modalities :

1) Red Light Therapy - good for people dealing with chronic pain and inflammation, and also famous for helping with skin health.

2) Infrared Sauna - sweating means detoxing. Toxins are one of the 4 underlying causes of disease (along with stress, physical inactivity, and poor nutrition). Everyone needs a plan to deal with toxins. Ask any AI app, “Who today is toxin free? And the answer is no one. We have a beautifully designed liver and kidneys that deal with toxins that we sometimes naturally encounter and sometimes knowingly put into our bodies. Sweating can ease the burden and solve some health issues related to a toxic buildup.

3) Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) - this has been around for a long time but is recently gaining popularity big time. Last week our 2 hard-sided tanks arrived. I am most excited for this therapy. What are the things we can’t live without? Nutrition, we can go without for a few weeks. Water, we can go without for a few days. Also, sleep, we can go without only for a few days. Without oxygen we last only minutes.

Our air is 21% oxygen. In a HBOT tank you breathe 95-99% oxygen and go on a dive, like a scuba diver but not under water, just under air pressure. This drives oxygen deep into the body where it may not be getting and stimulates healing. Tissue dies quickly without blood flow and oxygen. Therefore increasing circulation and oxygen saturation deep in the body stimulates healing in a way no other modality can do. This is why I am most excited for HBOT. There is nothing like it, it can’t be mimicked, and it is very powerful.

This is the tip of the iceberg for the Greater Life Health and Wellness team. We plan to continue to grow into a premier wellness clinic. We hope Greene County and our surrounding areas thrive in health and people here can live life unlimited from chronic issues.

How does a blizzard happen?

We could talk about warm and cold airs colliding and creating high winds and a weather system..

Simply put, it happens when “the conditions are right.”

And health is exactly the same.

We become healthy when the conditions are right.

I started the path to being a doctor out of a desire to know what to give people to make them healthy.

Ironically, of all the people I’ve worked with, some of the most profound stories of getting healthy involve removing the habit or thing that was creating an issue.

The body doesn’t need much help to heal, just needs the conditions to be right.

The real issues creating the vast majority of sickness and disease are;
1) Stress (mental or physical)
2) Inactivity
3) Toxicity
4) Poor nutrition

The health clinic of the future will address these things head on. Sometimes these topics are complicated, other times they are quite simple. Greater Life Health and Wellness and the team working together here are ready to help you address these issues.

Stay safe today! Spring and new growth is on its way.

Our office is now completely set up to draw blood labs in-house. We have qualified nurses on call to perform the actual blood draw.

Insurance occasionally can be used depending on what we draw.

The simplest comprehensive test is seen in the screenshot, we can draw this in house for $99 with results in 2-3 days. This is a great thing to do annually or with some frequency to know how your health is changing over time.

From here we can add on multiple impressive tests to get a great view of what your health looks like on the inside.

My favorite thing to add on is an OMEGA-3 Index. This blood marker is one of the most sensitive markers to help predict cardiovascular risk. We can increase Omega 3's simply by eating fish like salmon, or my personal favorite recently is sardines (in olive oil, cayenne pepper on top, with a shake of garlic salt, it becomes really quite good). I love high quality fish oil supplements and getting minimum 1 gram of omega 3's per day. When omega 3's are seen to be low, 2-3 grams per day can change it in a hurry! Only takes 4-8 weeks to raise blood Omega 3 levels to a healthier range.

Omega 3's are a healthy fat that we literally make cell membranes out of. They are a building block of cells that shouldn't be ignored.

Below is a compelling research article that suggests better Omega 3 ratios in the blood significantly lower heart failure risk.

Last week was quite possibly the most people we’ve ever seen at ‘Spook the Loop’ downtown for community trick or treating. This event is fun because it is reminiscent of how the square was the place to gather back in the day. Jump in your car, cruise the loop, hang out with whoever is downtown.

Instead of candy we handed out seasonal toys and trinkets. Candy of course is a fun treat, but without a doubt, all the sugar and dyes and man made ingredients are not something to have on a routine basis. The 80:20 rule is a great rule of thumb… a little bit may not be the end of the world, but I certainly wouldn’t make a habit of having candy around the house!

Halloween marks the beginning of the great “sugar season,” which includes, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Super Bowl, Valentines, and even St Patrick’s Day and Easter. All of these holidays have food as part of their tradition! Which is great! But too much of it is processed and sugar heavy (I.e. Christmas cookies —> they may be delicious, but it is a sugar bomb). Excess sugar is known to affect the immune system, contributing to what we know as flu season. There are many factors with flu season but the dietary traditions of the holidays certainly are one!

Here is the "Art of Healthy Livin" presentation given at the community center on August 1! (45 minutes long).

Everyone has plans. Insurance plans, life insurance plans, health savings plans, for when health issues happen. Those are all essential and necessary, but also are all after the fact. What about a health building plan? A health prevention plan? What do you do in a day's time to make sure you are healthier than you were last year?

That's exactly what this talk is, the beginning of a series on how to protect and preserve your health so it never leaves you in the first place!

“Life should be like a candle, burn brightly for its entire life, flicker once or twice, and then go out.”
-Reggie Gold, legendary chiropractor and philosopher.

This class is a step in the direction of fighting chronic disease that ruins the quality and the ability to live life to the fullest degree.

Already this week we’ve seen someone well over 6’5” and someone barely 5 feet tall. Another was 280+ and another was probably 95 pounds. Oldest was past 90 and the youngest was born this month. A few high performer athletes and others just looking to garden with ease or play baseball with their kids.

The thing they all have in common?

The nervous system is how they feel their toes, sprint as fast as possible or have a healthy bowel movement.

All stress physical or mental, is funneled through the nervous system where the brain figures out what to do with it. Healthy alignment means a healthy dealing with stress. An adjustment is an easy way to help your body function the way it’s supposed to, no matter who you are or what shape you come in!

This is the result of spinal muscle tension test nearly every person gets when they first arrive.

This person came in with shoulder pain and numbness/tingling into the right arm.

The red and black bars show a VERY high amount of muscle tension lining neck specifically with the black bars on the right.

The question I asked this person is if they are creating this tension on their own. Their answer was NO, why would I want this there!

The body will almost always create this “guarding effect” when it senses stress on nerves and blood flow. When your body is at its limits of being able to compensate or guard itself, we feel that numbness or tingling or even burning into the back or arm.

This can be cured! When you remove the tension and the stress on the underlying pinched areas, the muscle tension will finally let go.

I encourage people to know that your muscle tension is there for a reason! And if the stress or the strain your neck or back is under doesn’t change, that tension can’t just go away. It wants to be there to protect the vital functions or nerve and blood flow.

These were the chicken scratches that began with the “adult track meet” idea. Which has little to do with competition, except for those that need competition to drive their activity, and everything to do which the fact that everyone needs accountability or that THING on the calendar that keeps you motivated.

There has never been a normal person who woke up and thought hmm, I think I’d like to try being sick, ill, and feel crappy for the next year or so…

The fact of the matter is we all will feel better, think better, be mentally better when we are regularly moving our bodies. I keep getting messages from people who tell me they feel way better than they used to after committing to regular movement.

Hence, the annual adult track meet idea. I have no idea is this will ever get off the ground but the “Action Expo” keeps jumping off the page. Participate in your favorite exercise event and get a free health scan(s) and consultation on how to take your health to the next level to stay healthy and present for your family and your future.

Before your very first adjustment, you receive a thermal scan to find out what area in your body is RED, irritated and inflamed 🔥🔥 vs BLUE, an area often compressed and needing to be opened up 😓. This used to be done with a handheld tool called a “neurocalometer” but now is done with infrared cameras and software.

Adjustments can be done manual with the “pop and crack,” or gently assisted with instruments without any manual movement. Often times a technique using breath work is more than enough to calm down pinched nerve areas!

This is the art of chiropractic and Dr. Philip is ready to find out the perfect combination of techniques to help your body function and feel better fast. 👍🏼
