🔥 Top 12 Health Recommendations for 2026 🔥
☀️ Lose Weight ☀️ Gain Energy ☀️ Reduce Stress ☀️ Feel More Alive
By Dr. Troy Dreiling, Vancouver Disc Center & Zenaptic Health

As we move into 2026, one thing is clear: people don’t just want to live longer—they want to live better. More energy. Less stress. Sustainable weight loss. Clear thinking. Stronger bodies.

🔐 After more than three decades of clinical experience helping patients restore spinal health, reduce inflammation, and reclaim their vitality, I’ve seen what actually works. These are not trends or fads. These are foundational health principles that consistently deliver results when applied daily.

🚀 Here are my Top 12 Health Recommendations for 2026—simple, powerful habits that can radically transform how you look, feel, and function.

✅ 1. Eliminate Sugar and Processed Flour
If you want to lose weight, reduce inflammation, and stabilize your energy, this is non-negotiable. White sugar and processed flour drive insulin spikes, fat storage, brain fog, joint pain, and chronic disease.
Rule: If it comes in a box or bag with ingredients you can’t pronounce—skip it.

✅ 2. Walk Every Day (15–45 Minutes)
Walking is one of the most underrated forms of exercise. It improves circulation, reduces stress hormones, supports fat loss, and enhances spinal movement.
Start with 15 minutes daily, and build up to 45 minutes if possible. Consistency beats intensity.

✅ 3. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Your body is mostly water—and dehydration slows metabolism, increases fatigue, and stresses your nervous system.
Goal: Drink ½ your body weight in ounces of water per day.
Example: 180 lbs = 90 oz daily.

✅ 4. Eat 10 Servings of Fresh Vegetables & Fruit Daily
Fiber feeds your gut, balances blood sugar, supports detoxification, and helps control appetite.
Aim for 10 servings per day, prioritizing vegetables. Whole foods only—no juices, no powders.

✅ 5. Meditate 10 Minutes a Day
Stress is one of the biggest barriers to weight loss and healing. Just 10 minutes daily of meditation, breathwork, or quiet reflection can lower cortisol, improve sleep, and reset your nervous system.

✅ 6. Eat Enough Protein (20–25g, 4–5x Daily)
Protein stabilizes blood sugar, preserves lean muscle, and supports fat loss.
Target: 20–25 grams per meal, 4–5 meals per day.
This is especially critical as we age.

✅ 7. Eliminate Seed Oils
Industrial seed oils (canola, corn, peanut, soybean) are highly inflammatory and disrupt metabolic health.
Use instead:
✔ Olive oil
✔ Coconut oil
✔ Butter or ghee

Your joints, brain, and hormones will thank you.

✅ 8. Consume Raw Nuts
Raw almonds, cashews, and macadamia nuts provide healthy fats, minerals, and sustained energy.
Keep portions reasonable, and avoid roasted or oil-coated versions.

✅ 9. Go Organic When Possible
Choosing organic meats, fruits, and vegetables reduces toxic load and supports hormone balance. Less chemicals = less inflammation = better energy and recovery.

✅ 10. Get Your Spine Adjusted & Discs Mobilized Regularly
Your spine protects your nervous system—the master controller of your body. Poor spinal movement equals poor health.
Recommendation: Chiropractic adjustments and disc mobilization 1–4 times per month, depending on your condition and goals.

This is a cornerstone of care at Vancouver Disc Center and Zenaptic Health.

✅ 11. Get Daily Sunshine (10 Minutes)
Sunlight supports vitamin D levels, immune function, mood, and circadian rhythm.
Just 10 minutes per day—preferably in the morning—can dramatically improve sleep and energy.

✅ 12. Sleep 8 Hours (Naps Are Awesome Too)
Sleep is when healing happens. Fat loss, hormone regulation, muscle repair, and brain detox all depend on quality sleep.
Aim for 8 hours nightly, and yes—naps are awesome if your body needs them.

💎 Final Thoughts 💎
Health doesn’t come from extremes—it comes from daily discipline applied consistently. If you focus on these 12 principles in 2026, you can expect:
Sustainable weight loss
More natural energy
Less stress and inflammation
Better sleep
Improved spinal and nervous system function
A stronger, more resilient body

🎁 Your body was designed to heal and thrive—give it the right inputs.

To your health,

Did Montel make the right choice?
Here is a short list of four things he cold have decided to do instead of seeking out chiropractic help:
- Decide to "just live with it"
- Manage his pain ONLY with meds
- Undergo surgery (of which 90% fail within 2 years)

But instead, he finally did what he felt was the right thing for himself and sought out a qualified chiropractor.

Back Pain & Constipation: How Vancouver Disc Center Helps You Fix Both by Correcting the Spine and Nervous System

If you’ve ever felt “backed up” while also struggling with back pain, you’re not imagining the connection. Many patients at Vancouver Disc Center report digestive trouble alongside lower-back discomfort—and there’s a real, anatomical reason why.

Yes, back pain can cause constipation.
Your spine, nerves, posture, and daily movement patterns all play influential roles in how efficiently your digestive system functions. When the spine isn’t working correctly, your gut often isn’t either.

That’s why at Vancouver Disc Center, Dr. Troy Dreiling—a leader in non-surgical spinal decompression with over 30 years of clinical experience—specializes in evaluating the spine and nervous system to determine the root cause of back pain, nerve irritation, and related bowel dysfunction.

Your Spine Controls Digestion: The Hidden Link Most People Miss
The spine isn’t just structural. It protects the nerve pathways that control nearly every major organ—including your intestines.

When the lower spine isn’t aligned, decompressed, or moving well, the nerves that tell the colon to contract can become irritated or weakened.
Think of your digestive tract like a conveyor belt: if the power supply (your nerves) is disrupted, movement slows… and constipation sets in.

How Back Pain Can Trigger Constipation
Not every episode of constipation is caused by back pain, but the two are strongly linked. Here’s why:

1. Pinched, Stressed, or Irritated Nerves
Conditions such as:
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Spinal stenosis
• Sciatica
• Degenerative disc disease
…can put pressure on the nerves that regulate digestion. When those nerves aren’t firing correctly, the colon doesn’t receive the signals it needs to move waste along.

2. Limited Spinal Joint Movement
When your back hurts, you move less.
Less movement = slower digestion.
Sitting too much or avoiding activity can quickly lead to sluggish bowels.

3. Poor Posture Compresses the Digestive Tract
Back pain often leads to slouching or protective, hunched positions. This can:
• Increase abdominal pressure
• Restrict intestinal movement
• Reduce overall digestive efficiency

4. Medication Side Effects
Many painkillers—especially opioids—significantly slow bowel function.
If your constipation began after starting medication, this could be a major contributor.

Signs Your Back Pain and Constipation Are Connected
You may notice:
• Hard, infrequent, or strained bowel movements
• Abdominal pressure or bloating
• A sense of incomplete emptying
• Achy or radiating lower back pain
• Increased slouching or reduced activity

Recognizing the pattern helps determine the proper treatment—and whether your digestive issue is actually a nerve and spine issue.

Who Is Most Likely to Experience This Spine–Gut Connection?
• Adults over 50
• People with disc herniations or stenosis
• Those on long-term pain medication
• Anyone with vertebral misalignments
• People with sedentary lifestyles
• Pregnant women

If this sounds like you, a spine and nerve system evaluation can be a game-changer.

Simple Ways to Improve Back Pain and Bowel Function -
These strategies help many of our patients:

1. Improve Spinal Movement
Gentle daily movement—even walking—stimulates digestive motion.
At Vancouver Disc Center, we often recommend:
• Targeted mobility work
• Chiropractic adjustments
• Non-surgical spinal decompression to restore nerve flow and support better elimination

2. Fix Your Posture

Using proper lumbar support or posture tools can:
• Reduce intestinal compression
• Improve spinal alignment
• Decrease nerve stress

3. Support Digestion With Smart Nutrition

Focus on:
• Fruits and vegetables
• Legumes and whole grains
• Adequate water intake

Dehydrated fiber can worsen constipation, so hydration is essential.

4. Reevaluate Pain Medications

If painkillers are contributing to constipation, Dr. Dreiling can discuss alternatives.
Some patients benefit from natural support such as:
• Wuji chlorella
• Psyllium fiber
These may aid in more efficient elimination.

5. Use Supportive Bracing When Needed
Knee, lumbar, or posture supports can improve:
• Mobility
• Alignment
• Nerve function
…all of which influence digestive health.

When It’s Time to Get Checked: Why Vancouver Disc Center Is the Place to Start
If your back pain and constipation persist or recur, it’s essential to evaluate the spine, discs, posture, and nervous system—not just the digestive tract.
At Vancouver Disc Center, Dr. Troy Dreiling is widely recognized as:
• A certified spinal decompression specialist
• A provider with 30+ years of experience treating disc and nerve-related conditions
• A leader in non-surgical spinal restoration

He helps identify why the nerves aren’t functioning optimally and what can be done to restore proper movement, alignment, and digestive signaling.

Take the Next Step Toward Relief
If you’re dealing with back pain, sciatica, disc problems—or constipation that doesn’t improve—your spine and nerve system may be the key.
