We know your health can be a personal issue, but we also know hearing stories from those who have benefited from chiropractic and drugless care can be an incentive for you to consider coming to see us. This is why we will be highlighting practice member's testimonials each week through 2016 from our Westlake and Elyria chiropractic practices. This week we have Monika:
"Taking drugs or surgery was not an option I wanted to take. The Doctors spent time listening to my concerns, and taking digital images to map out a plant just for me. After a few adjustments, I felt more centered in mind and body. The discomfort in my shoulder, wrists and feet are no longer an issue.
With their office workshops (informative health issues, recipes, etc.) we learn how our food choices and exercise (-11 lbs.) help complete the journey to our best, healthy life. Thanks to their enthusiasm and knowledge, I'm looking forward to an even better 2016."
We would love to help you too! Please visit our contact page for our hours and address.
Did you know exercise should be enjoyable? Dr. Casen shares some tips on how to incorporate items you might have at home already instead of paying $$$ to join a gym.
One of the top questions we receive daily at our practice is, "How do I detoxify my body?". Many of us also want to cleanse our body the right way when beginning a new year, and we recently taped a "The Drugless Doctor" episode on detoxification. You can also view and download Dr. Bob's "Cleanse & Purify" devotional, now on YouVersion. If you have any questions, or would like to visit our chiropractic practice in Westlake, please go here. We would love to help you!
One of our long-time friends in our practice is Marilyn Hickey and her daughter, Sarah Bowling. Dr. Bob recently sat down with them as a guest on their television program to discuss female hormones and what are drugless and natural steps you can do to balance them. Please click the video below to watch and contact us for more information in order to help you.
We have been fortunate enough to partner with the YouVersion app (over 200 million downloads) and provide their community with a new health devotional to begin the new year. Dr. Bob's "Cleanse & Purify" devotional covers topics including renewing your mind, fasting, and herbs, and below is a video corresponding to Day 1 of the plan. You can start the plan here on your computer, or under the "New" section on their Plans tab.
Each new year brings about intent to start fresh. That might mean doing your best to become healthier and to lose weight. Our office over the past few years has started each year with "The Drugless Diet" and we are now offering it on our website for the first time.
The diet provides you with the accountability of knowing one of our doctors will be reviewing your diet and fitness journals each week, helping you to make the appropriate changes to promote a healthier you. Currently, this program is only offered on-site at our Westlake and Elyria practice. Here is a run-down of what The Drugless Diet includes:
1. Initial Assessment: We develop an outline and strategy for you. This includes weight, pictures, tracking devices or halc pre and post test, BMI, waist measurement, and fat body analyzer.
2. Weekly diet and fitness journal reviews: This allows us to track your progress.
3. Welcome Packet: Includes information on what to eat, when to exercise, and helpful troubleshooting points for your weight loss.
4. Ending Assessment & Consultation: Weight, picture, BMI, waist measurement, and fat-body analyzer.
Benefits
We have seen multiple benefits to our practice members who have participated in this program besides the weight loss element. Some of these include increased energy, more self-esteen, regular bowel movements, increased libido, and more.
The retail value for The Drugless Diet is over $1500, but the importance of changing your life is also important to us, which is why we are offering the program at only $250 to our current practice members and $450 to non-practice members.
Please contact us for more information, so we can help you have your healthiest year yet!
How to do approach the Christmas season? Is your calendar booked with something each night of the week? Spending time with friends and family is one of the focal points during this season, but we have found that stress levels can also be at an unreasonably high level during this time as well. Dr. Bob shared his tips to help us stress-less on our sister site, druglessdoctor.com & we have them here for you today:
I have read that stress creates over 80% of all sickness and disease today. Due to all of the instant gratification, stimulation and communication in society today it seems that the days tend to fly by! I know from my own perspective the week skips from Monday to Friday in a blink. Our schedules are filled with day to day chores, family and personal responsibilities and opportunities to help our friends, relatives and co-workers.
For the purpose of this entry, we will focus on two general responses to stress. There can be a positive stress, celebrating a victory or a negative one – living with the consequences of a mis-step or reset. People living today, and this is a general statement, receive happiness from the positive response and appear to be taught from the negative ones. Unfortunately, the consequences of a negative stress often times can create distress for years and even generations.
Stress has a variety of impact possibilities to the physiology of the body; it literally cause a pit in your stomach, hives on your skin, loose stools, hair loss, sleepless nights, dry mouth, back pain, headaches, “tics” and about five hundred other responses. So, what does stress really do; it literally pushes buttons that speed up the adrenal gland causing more cortisol which races the heart, increases blood pressure, burns muscle and starts your metabolism running. How you handle the stress impacts your immune system response. Stress impacts several areas in the body and has a negative impact on your health especially when it is constant and sustained as some of you may endure during the Christmas season.
Stress tends to cause an acid pH which burns up your minerals. It is wise to add additional minerals from the beginning of November until the spring time. We use Multi Mins™, three to six a day on an empty stomach. Body signals for mineral need would include cold sores, leg cramps at night, itchy skin, legs twitching in bed, craving salt and/or sugar.
Stress exhausts the adrenal glands which is a very important natural pain reliever, hormone maker and blood sugar controller. Adrenal fatigue is common with the additional hours, schedules and commitments during the holiday season. I encourage our patients to take two ADB5™ upon waking and two at noon. Body signal for exhausted adrenal function include dizzy from a sit to a stand position, craving sugar or salt, back going out easy, a need to wear sunglasses, pain and inflammation.
Stress during the Christmas season tends to rapidly burn through B vitamins; you may notice sore muscles, difficulty in staying asleep, crying easy, noise sensitivity. B vitamins are also exhausted additionally with sugar consumption. I encourage our patients to take three Bio-B Complex a day for three months. If you notice pain after snow shoveling you would be wise to substitute the Bio-B Complex to Bio-B 100’s™, four to six a day. The Bio-B Complex is very potent and should only be taken for three months at the maximum.
