Did you notice it too?

Okay, admittedly it's not something that would catch the eye of most people.

Go back and watch the video again, though and watch this lady's hips.

Do you see how the left side swings naturally, while the right side seems to "hitch"?

Sadly, she probably doesn't even know that she is doing it.

We aren't as attuned to our bodies as we probably should be in many cases, because there is so much going on in our world.

This is important, though. When we have improper movement, not only does this take more energy, it also sets us up for pain, stiffness and eventually degeneration as those joints are used in ways they weren't designed.

This is just one of the things that we look at when assessing health. Look around, once you see it, you're likely going to see other people that aren't moving as efficiently as they should be too.

When we can eliminate those movement issues we can regain the energy that's being wasted on inefficiency, we can reduce pain and we can prevent some of the long-term breakdown (and loss of function) that is associated with it.

You are made up of more than just your own cells.

The bacteria in your gut play a major role in your health, and they rely on you to keep them healthy.

When we feed them junk - sugar, refined carbohydrates, unhealthy fats - we get an imbalance toward those species that can make us sick.

When we feed them the things that they need to stay healthy - some protein molecules, healthy fats, fiber - the ones that keep us healthy start to thrive.

This may show up as better immune function, better metabolism or a host of other potentialities.

Eating "healthy foods" does more than just keeping 𝘺𝘰𝘶 healthy. It sets up the system needed to sustain health for the long-term.

When we are born, we come with basic "software" already loaded into our system (they are called primitive reflexes) that allow us to interact with our environment.

These primitive reflexes are designed to provide the stimulation necessary to develop the next level of brain development (software updates) that over-ride the primitive reflexes and turn them off.

When we skip some of the development (perhaps through a lack of a certain type of stimulation, an injury or illness), we don't develop those upper brain levels to the same degree as other brain levels.

Sadly, the parts often left behind are the systems that deal with stress and executive function (memory, decision-making, focus).

When we work to turn off these primitive reflexes, we not only boost focus and improve the areas responsible for memory, goal planning and more, we also boost the areas that improve our ability to handle stress.

Can you image making better decisions when you're stressed?

How about still being able to sleep and recharge when you're under extra stress?

Do you think those traits would help you, or your family members, be more productive in their endeavors?

The brain is like a muscle - it can be strengthened.

We look at this area - despite it being an area that many practitioners are ignoring -because it can be the difference between success and failure, health and illness.

I hear from a lot of people that their mind is telling them that they are still 25, but they need to "tell themselves to slow down" (read: they are feeling old).

Is that really what we should have to do, though?

In many cases, I have found that a lost skill is lost because I stopped doing something.

Being a weekend warrior and trying to go full-bore when you're used to sitting in the office might not be the best game plan.

Pulling an all-nighter when you usually go to bed at 9 probably isn't a good fit.

If we go about our health with the right approach, though, this is something that we can probably get away with from time to time (I still don't recommend all-nighters, but life happens).

We have to design a health-plan that is going to keep you operating at your best, well into old age.

Age isn't the problem, it's the lack of a system that will keep you functional.

Our mitochondria are similar to tiny engines - they constantly work to provide us with the energy we need to power us through the day.

Just like an engine, they can become less efficient over time due to toxicity, overwork or "sludge" building up.

We have to take action to maintain them if we want to continue to enjoy the energy supply, otherwise we see a drop in their output.

This is where fasting, detoxification and other health practices can help us retune them.

When we work to maintain our health, rather than waiting for it to fall apart and then trying to put it back together, we can enjoy a better quality of life.

We have to know these things, though, and then put them into action.

If you're going to focus on an area of health, the metablic side of the equation can be a very smart place to start.

If you are in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, you’ve probably felt it.

That split-second delay in your reaction time. The brain fog that rolls in at 2:00 PM. The feeling that your "hard drive" is full and you can’t learn new things as fast as you used to.

Everyone will try to tell you: "Relax, it’s just part of aging. Your brain is slowing down."

While your brain may be slowing down, it isn't because of aging.

Dr. Norman Doidge, the author of The Brain That Changes Itself, proved them wrong with one sentence:

"The brain is a far more open system than we ever imagined... It has given us a brain that survives in a changing world by changing itself."

Read that again. "By changing itself."

Your brain is not a porcelain vase that cracks over time. Your brain is muscle. It is clay. It is live software.

If you are struggling with focus, anxiety, or "losing a step," it’s not because your hardware is broken. It’s because your software is outdated.

You are running Windows 95 in a 2025 world.

At our clinic, we don't treat "symptoms." We use the MINDS Method to force the brain to update its own software.

We use foundational health principles to trigger neuroplasticity. We force the brain to rewire itself for speed, balance, and clarity.

You don't have to accept the decline. You just need to change the inputs.

Detoxification is an important part of health.

Sadly, our society is one of the few in history that doesn't have a regular detoxification practice.

While exercise plays an important role in this process - adding in sauna (with or without red and infrared light) can provide amazing benefits.

The infrared light penetrates deeply into our system, oxygenating our organs, while we sweat out some of the waste products that we have built up in our daily lives.

Ideally, adding something like this in weekly can help sustain our health.

Still believe your environment doesn't play a role in your health?

When we take away sunlight, our system works in a totally different way.

Getting outside, moving regularly, supplying ourselves with quality food and optmizing sleep are very important for our overall health (including our immune system).

When I see the theories about blocking the sunlight coming to Earth, this is what I think of.

Too many people want to run experiments with us as the guinea pigs.

We have lived on this Earth for at least 300,000 years but there have been multiple times that our survival has been threatened. Most of the time that has come in the form of extreme environmental changes due to meteorites or volcanoes.

The next disaster could - quite possibly - be the man-made variety.

In the meantime, get out and enjoy the sunlight (safely). It really plays an important role in our health.

How to cut concussion recovery time by 56%...

If you get a concussion, you have one goal: Get back in the game.

But the device you are holding right now is the single biggest obstacle to making that happen.

The Data: According to research from Macnow et al. (2021), athletes who avoided screen time in the acute phase of a concussion recovered in 3.5 days.

Those who stayed on their phones? 8 days.

Do the math. That is an extra 4.5 days of:
❌ Headaches
❌ Brain Fog
❌ Missing practice
❌ Sitting on the sidelines watching someone else take your spot.

The Hard Truth: Your brain cannot heal if it is constantly processing pixels. When you are concussed, your brain's "battery" may only be at 10%. If you spend that 10% on social media, you have 0% left for healing.

We work to optimize brain function for a living.

Using the MINDS Method, we help athletes navigate the recovery process.

We look at the Metabolic fuel your brain needs to heal and the Neurological exercises required to stabilize your vision and balance (two of the most commonly affected aspects with concussions).

Don't guess with your brain.

If you (or your child) took a hit and you "just don't feel right" yet, we need to check the visual processing and vestibular systems (we use computerized testing for both of these important aspects of brain function).

We’ll get you in, check the data, and work to get you back to 100% as quickly as possible so you aren't left with lingering health setbacks.

There is speculation that the metabolism underlies almost all of our health issues - including autism.

While there is no doubt that it does contribute to the problem, it is unlikely to be a full answer.

Just like all things in health, we have to look at how the system works holistically.

How is the immune system, digestion, neurological development, physiological development, sensory development, metabolic health and more.

When we have all of these things working properly, it doesn't matter if we are discussing brain fog, autoimmunity, heart disease or any other health challenge - the problems are likely to minimize as we get closer and closer to optimal function.

01/03/2026

Our metabolism is responsible for providing the fuel for all other systems.

Some of those systems take more energy - the brain and immune systems for example - and these are among the first systems to show symptoms when our energy levels start to drop.

When we provide our system with the proper building blocks, these systems start to function in a whole different way.

If you're curious about what you need to optimize your function, we offer specialized labs that help us see - not just what you're taking in - but what your body is actually able to get into the cells.

That can be the difference between success and frustration.

You know the cycle.

You were an athlete growing up. You could eat whatever you wanted, play hard, and wake up feeling great.

But now? You’re in the 30-50 range.

You have a family. You have stress. You try to "get back in shape" every January 1st.

The stats say 23% of you will quit by next week.

40% by the end of January.

By mid-February - "Quitters' Day" - you’ll be back on the couch, exhausted, nursing a flared-up injury, wondering where your vitality went.

Here is the hard truth: You are trying to run a sprint on a flat tire.

The "healthcare" system has failed you. They told you to just "exercise more" or gave you a pill to hide the pain.

But they didn't fix the alignment.

They didn't address why you are fatiguing at 2 PM.

They didn't look at the 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦.

Resolutions rely on willpower. We rely on physiology.

Look in the comments to see how your energy levels stack up...
