Episode 26-42 The REAL Reason Why Sugar Is Bad For You Despite the title of this episode, the truth is this: Sugar is NOT bad for you. TOO MUCH SUGAR IS! Yes, too much sugar is bad for you and, unfortunately, nearly every American gets too much sugar. And it's this excess amount of sugar that causes health issues. For example, obesity… and Type 2 Diabetes. Both of these are strongly linked to "too much sugar." But they're not the only conditions. More and more researchers believe that Alzheimer's is caused by too much sugar. In fact, the connection is so strong that Alzheimer's is often referred to as "Type 3 Diabetes." Then there's heart disease. Despite what you've been told, the leading cause of heart disease is NOT fat.  Nor is it Cholesterol. It's Insulin Resistance… caused by too much sugar! On this episode I explain the physiology behind sugar and how, when your body gets too much of it, your health suffers. Give this episode a good listen… take notes… and then share it with a friend.

Episode 26-41 Is Ketosis The KEY To Healing? Did you know that your body has TWO fuel systems? Two sources of "gasoline?"  The first fuel system runs on Glucose. You get Glucose from the food you eat… particularly carbohydrates. This is the primary fuel system of your body. Unfortunately, it's also the ONLY fuel system most people ever use. Your body's other fuel system runs on ketones. You get ketones from the breakdown of fat in your body. When your body uses ketones as fuel you're "in Ketosis." Unfortunately, as I mentioned above, most people don't ever allow themselves to be in Ketosis. That's a shame because. when you DO choose to run your body on ketones, amazing things happen.  Specifically, your body starts to heal itself of many diseases! Yes, you read that right… being in ketosis promotes healing. On this episode I answer three questions regarding Ketosis: 1) What is it? 2) Why is it beneficial? 3) How come it's not talked about more? I also talk about the fastest way to get your body into ketosis.  Give this episode a good listen if you are dealing with a stubborn, chronic disease or if you simply want to maximize your health. And, as always, please share it with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more? Continue the conversation regarding this episode, and all future episodes, by signing up for our daily emails.

Episode 26-40 Why Not Give "God's Flu Shot" A Try? Walk  into any pharmacy this time of the year and you'll see a bunch of signs encouraging you to get a Flu shot. Why? Why do pharmacies heavily promote Flu shots? Is it because Flu shots actually prevent people from getting the Flu… or is it because the business of administering Flu shots is quite profitable? I'll let you answer that for yourself. I'll also ask you another question: Is there something better than a Flu shot? Something that does a better job at preventing the Flu? My answer is "Yes!"  There IS something better than a Flu shot. Something designed by God to help you avoid getting the Flu… or any other infection. It's called your Immune System and on this episode I teach you what you can do to strengthen yours. What you can do, naturally, to make your Immune System healthy and strong so that it can keep YOU healthy and strong. This is a timely episode as we are just now heading into "Cold and Flu" season and you don't won't to be left defenseless. So, if you want to avoid getting the Flu this year, give this episode a good listen. And, as always, please share it with a friend.   Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

Episode 26-39 You're Not Crazy… You're Out Of Alignment! Imagine walking around a Department Store, minding your own business, and a 22 pound box falls off of a shelf… landing directly on your head. The impact drives you to the floor where you lie dazed, confused and in pain. You're taken to the hospital and several hours later are told you have a concussion. You're also given prescriptions for a muscle relaxer, a pain killer, and an anti-inflammatory.  Several days later you visit a Neurologist who confirms the diagnosis of a concussion and tells you to continue with the medications. A few weeks go by and you're not any better. In fact, you're worse. Your daily headaches are turning into daily migraines… you have developed vertigo… you're experiencing tremors in your hands… and you are starting to feel depressed. To make matters worse, your Neurologist thinks you're "faking it" as do some of your family and friends… all of which causes you to question your sanity. Out of desperation, you turn to Facebook. Yes, Facebook. Specifically, a support group for individuals suffering with Post Concussion Syndrome. One of the members give you advice… advice that literally does more for you than any treatment you've received up to that point. What was this advice? I talk about it on this week's episode. Real advice, given to a real person with real problems… that resulted in real answers. Be sure to give this episode a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend.

Episode 26-38 Help For Post-Concussion Syndrome, TMJ and Headaches Very few Chiropractors, Medical Doctors and Physical Therapists receive training in the detection and correction of misalignments to the bones of the cranium (skull). Heck, very few Chiropractors, Medical Doctors and Physical Therapists are even aware that the bones of the cranium move and can become "misaligned," That's a shame because a misaligned cranial bone can be THE CAUSE of conditions such as Bell's Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Vertigo, Tinnitus, TMJ, Headaches, Neck Pain, Memory Loss, Brain Fog, Depression, Insomnia, and Impaired Vision. Although there are many potential causes of a misaligned cranial bone the most common one is head trauma. Yes, trauma to the head is the most common cause of a misaligned cranial bone and can be THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of the symptoms listed above. When this happens… when a person suffers head trauma and corresponding symptoms… it is called Post-Concussion Syndrome. For many sufferers of Post-Concussion Syndrome traditional care from a Chiropractor, Medical Doctor and/or Physical Therapist will provide relief. But not always. You see, there are some individuals with Post-Concussion Syndrome who WON'T get better from traditional care. Individuals who will continue to suffer for months, and even years, after the initial injury. This shouldn't be.  THESE individuals should be seeking out a doctor who is skilled in Cranial Therapy. Someone who knows how to detect and correct misalignments to the bones of the skull. On this week's episode I talk about Post-Concussion Syndrome… how it can cause the variety of symptoms listed above… and what doctors like myself do to correct it. Give this episode a good listen if you, or someone you know, has suffered with head trauma and/or the symptoms listed above. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.
