Are you addicted to sugar?
Posted on 2011-08-30 07:36:41
Sugar addiction is a real problem, especially in the U.S. You might not know you are "addicted", but think for a moment how often you reach for a soda, a candy bar, add sugar to your coffee, etc., etc. This leads to two major problems: WEIGHT GAIN and INFLAMMATION!
Think about soda servings -- we used to drink a 12 oz. soda at the most, and now it's a 64 ounce soda. Even kids are consuming more sugar than ever.
The solution? Get on our Maximized Living nutritional plan ($25 books available in the office). It will help you to get away from sugar, lose weight and feel better than ever.
Also, attend the upcoming Maximized Living Makeover on October 8th. Call the office to register and learn more about nutrition, exercise and how to change your life.
Yours in health,

2012 Olympics
Posted on 2011-06-14 07:35:20
The 2012 Summer Olympics will be held in London and I will be going!!! I can't wait to serve as a team chiropractor through Maximized Living. Maximized Living chiropractors serve the USA Judo, Wrestling and Weightlifting teams and have been an integral part of their wellness programs for the last few years.
More and more athletes are getting regular adjustments to maximize their nerve supply, which enhances their performance. Just think -- if there is pressure on a nerve (even with no symptoms) that is controlling any muscle, will that muscle be functioning at 100%??? Absolutely not! This is one of the reasons why it is critical for athletes to get regular adjustments! It maximizes the FUNCTION of their nervous system and overall body. Plus, it helps to prevent injuries, which is essential for Olympic athletes!

Are you in need of a health "makeover"???
Posted on 2011-04-26 19:45:19
I do a lot of wellness talks throughout Kansas City to various business and organizations. I commonly get questions such as: "Why can't I lose weight even though I exercise regularly?" Or, "what foods should I eat/avoid?". So many of you are searching for ANSWERS. There are not many doctors that take time to answer those questions. This is why I am teaming up with two other doctors to hold a "HEALTH MAKEOVER".
Learn about: The Five Essentials to Longevity. Take a stand and change your health for the better! Visit the makeover tab for more details!

Have you tried yoga???
Posted on 2010-12-01 08:19:34
I will admit - like most guys, I did not think I would ever try yoga. However, a few years ago, I met Marti Lee. She, along with her friends (Kelly, Susan and Starr) at Zona Yoga have completely changed my perception of yoga. I now practice yoga and have found it follows a very similar philosophy to chiropractic and acupuncture.
So, if you have ever thought about trying yoga, here are some great places to go in the Northland:
www.ZonaYogaKC.com - located in Zona Rosa
http://ccunitykc.org/Yoga_at_Unity2.pdf - located at One Community Spiritual Center

How do you handle a fever?
Posted on 2010-11-01 18:24:22
Last week, our one year old (Bennett) came down with his first cold. His nose started running and then he spiked a fever. It brings up a great question - why do our bodies produce a fever? A fever is actually a perfect natural immune response! Our bodies produce a fever because many infectious agents cannot survive at higher temperatures. Thus, by allowing a fever to run its course, many times a person can get over their cold faster.
Check out the article below, which gives some great insight as to how to handle a fever.

Want to burn more fat during your workout?
Posted on 2010-09-20 19:15:14
Have you ever done a cardio workout over and over with no results? What research is showing is that in order to burn fat, one needs to increase the intensity of their cardio workouts. The recent trend in cardio workouts is called High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). This type of workout is typically done on a treadmill, elliptical or stationary bike.
The benefits of HIIT are as follows:
1) burn more fat and calories, even after working out
2) save time - most HIIT workouts are less than 30 minutes long
High Intensity Interval Training is a cardio workout that looks something like this (I will use the treadmill as an example):
1) warm-up and stretching for 5 minutes (work up a sweat and be sure to stretch appropriately)
2) sprint for 30 seconds (can be 15-45 seconds). The sprint should be fast enough to the point you have a difficult time talking to the person next to you.
3) power walk for 1.5 minutes
4) repeat 6-8 times
5) cool down and stretch
Give it a try!
Pregnancy & adjustments...
Posted on 2010-08-26 18:31:18
Can pregnant women get adjusted???? Absolutely! It is very safe and beneficial to be IN ALIGNMENT during pregnancy. The main benefit is reduced low back discomfort. Also, a properly aligned pelvis allows for an easier birthing process due to a symmetrical birth canal!
So, feel free to tell your pregnant friends they may be due for an adjustment!

Ever thought about getting your child adjusted?
Posted on 2010-07-21 06:49:38
Chiropractic is for kids, too! I really enjoy working with children and have adjusted infants (hours or days old) through high schoolers. Before I went to chiropractic school, I had no idea that children could get adjustments.
Many people wonder about the safety of children getting adjusted. The adjustments on infants and children are extremely gentle - typically using less pressure than you would use to pick them up. And the adjustments are very safe. The best part is children respond very quickly to adjustments and by having a properly aligned spine, many potential health problems can be PREVENTED!
Some of the common reasons kids get adjusted are:
- prevention/wellness -- proper nervous system function
- ear infections
- colic
- constipation
- acid reflux
- scoliosis
- asthma
- ADHD
