The Body's Power House: The Immune System


So many of us (including many health and medical professionals) underestimate the POWER of the immune system! Our body’s immune system is amazing and can defeat close to anything that faces it as long as it is looked after and nurtured.

Instead of looking at health as building up our immune system and giving it everything it needs to function at 100%, we instead try to target the symptoms and the bugs that we think cause the illness in the first place.

Look what happens when we catch a cold. We dole out medicine immediately to deal with the symptoms of congestion, fever, coughing and so on instead of recognizing that our body is actually expressing health via these symptoms - the fever is killing the germs and our cough is our body expelling the mucus that has trapped the invading bugs.

There are so many medications out there that you are being told to consume that would not be given to you if you were healthy because those drugs will make your body sick. Yet when someone who is sick with illness or cancer, and is suffering from a weakened immune system, HOW ON EARTH did it get to the point where it was logical enough to give those people a drug that would make someone with a healthy immune system sick?

Are there times you will need drugs? Of course. But even then, we would still suggest you start focusing on giving your immune system the energy it needs to fight whichever illness or disease you are facing. You will always be better off if you focus on your body’s POWER HOUSE.

Start building up the strength of your immune system today, even if you don’t currently have any symptoms - your body will thank you later!

Chiropractic And Injury Prevention

As research performed in the last few decades has shown, Chiropractic is known to change & improve various aspects of nervous system function, including motor control, brain reaction times, and brain cognitive processing (the speed with which our brain processes information). So, it makes sense that if any of these areas are lacking then you should be at greater risk for injury, especially when we are talking low back injuries (due to how important brain control is over the vitally important spinal muscles). We know that if you can’t activate your trunk and core muscles before rapidly moving an arm, this can potentially result in a strain or sprain of the low back. This is known as the feed forward mechanism - if our spine doesn't first stabilize properly before we move our limbs then we greatly increase our risk of injury at the spinal level. These injuries usually start as microscopic injuries that we don't even notice but like everything else they continue to b...

The combination of heartburn, GERD, and acid reflux together are one of the most common health issues in the world. This means they’re also one of the most commonly medicated groups of health issues.

In this episode I examine what the research actually shows about lifestyle, medications, and acid reflux! Check out this episode!
