Christmas is past, but it’s never too late to start looking towards next year, right? What’s the best gift in the world? What would you enjoy more than anything else? Maybe a new house, car, diamond ring? Don’t worry about the price, dream big! Now, imagine your sitting in that new mansion in the hills that you just received as a gift, enjoying a beautiful sunny day by the pool. But, also picture this. You’ve just received a phone call from your doctor. After a routine physical the other day, he has some bad news. You’ve been diagnosed with some sort of incurable disease. Your prognosis is 4-months to live. This is someone’s worst nightmare, but there’s an important lesson to be understood… Any gift we receive, from money to cars, clothes to new friends and family members…none of these gifts are as great as the gift of health we can give ourselves. Because, let’s face it, if you don’t have your health you have NOTHING! The majority of people in America go through their lives rarely paying attention to their body or their health. Unless, something is seriously wrong. The problem with this type of thinking is by the time you ‘feel’ something is wrong it has oftentimes been there for quite some time previous to you becoming aware. Being healthy is a full-time job and requires diligent pursuit of new information. But what’s the alternative? A life of misery, regret, and ultimately, loss. So, for this upcoming Christmas, give yourself the gift that keeps on giving. Create health in your body. Start today. Get into action. Stay...

What’s your purpose? In other words, why do you wake up every morning? The average American floats. He or she goes from day-to-day clocking in and then clocking out. The energy exchange is minimal. They do just enough to get by. Is this how you want to live your life? Are you content being the person who hops on the hamster wheel and simply goes mindlessly ahead? Not really sure where it’s leading, not really caring at the same time. It’s easy as a human to fall into a pattern. The path or least resistance is typically the most popular trail. This is why most people are content with waking up and just getting by. To me, it seems a lot like ground hog day. Instead of pushing for a goal or vision, you give it all up to just not have to feel anything. Purpose is what gets stuff done. It’s how our country was built. Some men got together and realized that they could create something special here that all their kids’ kids would grow to appreciate. Their purpose was large and the work involved was also. However, they ultimately got what they strived for because their vision was so powerful. Your purpose drives you to accomplish whatever you’re looking to do. Without purpose you have nothing. At Hands For Life, we began our organization because of our main purpose. That’s to provide chiropractic care to those who are unable to afford it. This vision has led us to get dozens of doctors around the country on board in serving lower income communities. It has also led...

The flu season of 2018 is upon us. It’s actually been in full force for a while. This year’s flu season seems to be worse than years past. Why would that be? Did too many people skip out on their flu shots? The biggest misconception around the flu is that if you somehow come into contact with the virus you will get sick. Nothing could be further from the truth. The reason being, you have an immune system which serves as your army to fight off any virus or bacteria that tries to enter. The reason people get sick is because the immune system gets weakened. This can happen in a variety of ways: alcohol, negative thinking/stress, lack of exercise, eating junk food, etc. Without a strong immune system, you have no army to protect the body from invaders. This is when people catch the flu. The flu virus itself is not strong enough to penetrate the walls of a healthy and strong immune system. However, when that immune system is taxed, the flu virus can stroll right in. So, some natural tips to keep yourself out of bed and away from the flu symptoms: -eat lots of green vegetables and foods from the earth -stay away from processed foods and sugar -limit alcohol intake -get daily exercise -make sure you’re getting 7-8 hours of continuous sleep each night -get any nervous system interference removed by a chiropractor -take Vitamin D -take a good quality probiotic Here’s the bottom line: you are not a victim. The flu virus isn’t a boogeyman that will hurt you if you’re to come...
