This is sad.

If the healthcare system has been so driven by profit that they are literally killing people off to make money, then the system is even more broken than I thought it was.

This isn't a stretch, though.

For years we have chased profit over health.

If you need evidence of this, look at the rate of chronic disease - most of which are preventable - that we continue to face.

Not only have these preventable diseases continued - despite our knowledge of how to heal them - they have continued to grow.

Why?

"The solution often lies outside the paradigm that created the problem."

Those currenly in power in our healthcare system - insurers, pharmaceutical companies and politicians - have no interest in fixing a system that keeps them in power.

Only we can make the decision to change our paradigm and look toward foundational health principles - diet, movement, sleep and stress management (the chiropractic paradigm) - to solve our current debacle.

What would happen if you ate a donut and instantly got diabetes?

Smoked a cigarette and immediately had cancer?

Exercised and were immediately ripped?

While the consequences of our actions often take months to years to fully realize, how would this quick feedback change your actions?

What action that you're doing right now would stop?

Responses like "the science is settled" and "it is clear in the research" have become more common over the past 5 years.

While the science can never be settled (there is no statement that is more anti-science than "the science is settled") these statements are used as a slight. A shot to overwhelm argument to stop debate.

When asking for more evidence realize that 40% of all prescriptions are written off-label - there is no research to back up the usage of that drug for that purpose.

This isn't always a bad thing (the only way we learn is through trial and error with educated guesses or extrapolations), but the industry that most commonly pushes the narrative of asking for more evidence is also the one pushing the usage of substances off-label.

When looking at the research it is hard not to see the duplicity in these arguments.

What's the best workout intensity?

It depends on your goals.

If you are training for an athletic endeavor, getting more intense exercise is likely going to be of more benefit.

If you're working to increase energy production, slower for longer periods of time will likely lead you to your goal.

The interesting thing - those with more intense activity tend to live longer and have better quality of life.

Think about this when designing your workout, especially if most of your workouts are slower and longer.

Do you find that you learn better one way than another?

Have you found that your children learn in different ways?

This is part of what drives the difficulty in teaching today - we have 20+ kids in a class and they all learn in unique ways.

The best way to ensure success (since the teachers can't tailor 20+ different ways of teaching the same material) is to increase the flexibility of brain function.

Training to build better function, coordination and timing is a way that helps us bring forward whatever actions we need to be successful 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 - no matter what that environment looks like.

If you, or your family, is struggling with this we can tailor a program to help optimize brain function through a variety of environments.

One of the worst lab findings that nobody knows about is a poor ratio between omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids.

When this ratio is too high, it leaves us in an inflammatory state - driving many of the disease processes that afflict our society today.

One of the easiest things you can do for your health is to take in less omega 6 (grains are a common source) and more omega 3 (seafood is a great source) fatty acids.

If you don't like seafood - fish oil can be a workable substitute. Make sure you are getting DHA in that fish oil for more brain-boosting impacts.

Stress is a part of life.

Ironically, that's good thing. We couldn't grow and learn without stress.

However, stress for most people becomes a bad thing because it piles up until it is overwhelming.

One of the best paths for dumping stress is a page and a pen.

Write down the things that you're facing.

Not only will writing help you clarify your thoughts, it will also allow you to store it somewhere other than in your head (where we tend to turn things over and over looking for answers). Once it's on that page your brain can move on to more important things (like action to get you out of your stressful scenario).

If you are worried about someone reading it - a paper shredder can eliminate the concern.

When you get injured, is it better to rest and heal or to push through and get back to work right away?

I’m Dr. Jeff Cumro from Better Life Chiropractic & Wellness in Nebraska City, and after working with over 5,000 patients in the past 15 years, I’ve seen clear patterns in recovery.

In this video, you’ll discover:
✅ Why rest alone isn’t enough for proper healing

✅ The role chiropractic care plays in restoring mobility and reducing inflammation

If you’ve been injured, or you’re struggling with chronic pain, this video will help you understand when to rest, when to move, and how to heal smarter.

Have you ever been in this situation...

You have pain that has been around for longer than you care to admit.

You have sought care and radiology was performed (xray, MRI, ultrasound, whatever else...) and the results come back negative - no answers.

Stereotypically the people that I see in this scenario have been cut loose with poor explanations like "it's psychogenic (your mind is tricking you into thinking you have pain)", "it's arthritis (a common catchall when there's no clear diagnosis)" or "it will probably go away".

None of these are answers, or even helpful.

Just because there are no radiological findings doesn't mean there isn't damage.

Multiple things lead to pain and when only one of these factors is addressed only a percentage of people are going to get out of pain.

As we come at it from a more robust angle, addressing more of those pain triggers, we see a higher percentage of people getting better.

The key is staying consistent with that multi-faceted approach despite the frustration that comes with an all-clear on radiology (which 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 mean that there isn't going to be pain).

Homework doesn't have to be frustrating for everyone involved.

Attention, focus and behavior can all be attained along with reading, math and other functionalities.

The key?

Working to not just develop function, but also develop coordination and timing along with that function, so no matter what type of environment we are in we get the outcomes that we seek.

How?

Multisensory training is required, as these skills aren't just gained through repetition.

Although they are marketed as a "healthier" option in many cases, they are far from it.

When we combine the massive amounts of some components in these drinks with the sugar substitutes, the plastic (that leaches from the can) and the artificial colors, we have a recipe for disaster. This doesn't even dive into the alcohol that these are sometimes mixed with (which is extremely hard on our bodies).

Talking to your kids and coming up with better alternatives is a recipe for better outcomes.

Want to reduce the likelihood that pain and inflammation don't return?

Start with some simple exercises. They don't even have to be that aggressive.

Too many people have a weak posterior chain (upper and lower back, glutes, hamstrings) which puts them into a weak posture. Over time this can lead to muscle tightness/weakness, inflammation, poor movement, degeneration and chronic pain.

This doesn't have to take all day. A few exercises performed on a regular basis can make in incredible difference in your health and your pain levels.

Get to Know Dr. Jeffrey Cumro, DC

Have you ever been asked a question so profound that it totally changed your life?

There haven’t been a lot of these occasions through my life, but there have been a couple. Four years ago was the most recent one, and the effects on my life have been overwhelming. The effects that question will have on the community is also something that I find exciting.

Before I tell you what the question was, I want to give you a little background on myself. Fifteen years ago, I got really sick. I was always in great shape, but after not being able to sleep for about a month, losing 20 pounds in that time period and not being able to complete 1 lap around an indoor track without stopping I knew it was past time to get to a doctor. I had delayed because I was scared what I would find out.

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. This thyroid issue is an autoimmune disease (the body attacks itself) and I was told that I would have to deal with it for the rest of my life. Today, I help others who live in the Omaha, Lincoln, and Nebraska City areas and are fighting against thyroid diseases like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, or Grave’s disease, as well as, diabetes and migraines.
