not merely the absence of disease. -Dorland’s Medical Dictionary

HEALTH IS NOT A SYMPTOM.

BODY IN BALANCE.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT…

Traditional thinking:

“Once everything falls into place, I’ll feel at peace.”

vs.

Wellness mindset:

BIG DOLLARS

The global market for over-the-counter (OTC) drugs is expected to surpass

$70 billion by 2015.

-Consumer Healthcare Products Association

The Journal of the American Medical Association has confirmed

through 40 years of research: 7 out of 10 patients with bronchitis or throat infections are given

antibiotics, yet it is known there is a 0% effective rate.

EVERY DAY 120 PEOPLE IN THE US DIE FROM OVERUSE OF PRESCRIPTION PAIN KILLERS

✓ More than 80mill NSAID Rx written annually

✓ More than 30bill NSAID (Rx+OTC) doses consumed/yr

✓ 16,500 deaths from OTC medication use for arthritis alone

1. More real, whole foods

2. More color, more variety

3. Organic when you can

4. Meal timing and the Insulin connection

5. Garbage in, Garbage out

100% Organic: Must contain 100% organically produced

ingredients (excluding water and salt). This is the only label that certifies

a completely organic product AND completely GMO-free ingredients.

Certified Organic / USDA

Organic: At least 95% of content is organic by weight

(excluding water and salt). The <5% remaining ingredients must consist

of substances approved on the USDA’s National List. GMOs are NOT

on this list, so USDA Organic products are also usually GMO-free.

STRESS: A CHRONIC PROBLEM

• Increases sympathetic nervous system activity, shutting down

our ‘rest and digest’ functions.

• Behind the 3 leading causes of death.

• Suppression of the Immune system

• Insulin sensitivity

• Increased levels of inflammation

• Reduced brain activity

PROVING THE CONNECTION

1. Stress helps cancer cells survive against anti-cancer drugs due to high adrenaline production.

–Wake Forest University

2. People that feel more stressed out and anxious about their stresses are more likely to have chronic health

conditions 10 years later, compared to those who choose to view things through a more relaxed lens.

–Pennsylvania State University

3. People with type A behavior are associated with high risk of stroke.

–Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry

4. Feeling stressed, anxious? Linked to a 27% higher risk of heart attack, similar to the effects of smoking 5

cigarettes a day.

–Columbia University Medical Center

IT’S NOT “WHAT”, BUT “HOW”

1. Recognition.

2. Personal ownership. It’s an inside job. Stress comes

from me, not to me. And, any stress I feel is a function

of my thoughts and beliefs, not my circumstances.

3. Plan for it.

4. I am in control.

Exercise does not have to be performed in a gym

Exercise does not have to be miserable

Exercise does not have to last exactly 60 minutes

N.E.A.T.- It accounts for 15-50% of our daily calorie burn.

EXERCISE IS ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH

175lb individual will burn 204 calories during a typical 45-minute weight-training session.

During an identical workout, a 200-pound person will burn 234 calories.

POOR THOUGHTS, TRAUMAS AND TOXINS LEAD TO SUBLUXATIONS

• Subluxation: when communication

between the brain and the body is interfered

with by an irritation or a break in the

channels of the nervous system, causing body

malfunction.

• Pain, injury, illness and fatigue

MANIPULATIONTHE CONNECTION BETWEEN SPINE AND NERVOUS SYSTEM

• Lymphatic function

• WBC behavior

• Joint position sense

• Speed

• Strength

• Breathing

• Injury risk

• Stress response

• Mood

• Behavior

• Heart rate

• Digestion

Clinically proven to affect the way the brain communicates with the body.

HOW DOES AN ADJUSTMENT WORK?

Through detection and correction of

abnormally functioning spinal joints, the

adjustment restores a more natural, normal

motion to the spinal vertebrae in order to

decompress the joint and stimulate the

associated spinal nerve roots.

Manipulation has been scientifically proven to

change the way the brain looks at the body

and spine.

NEW RESEARCH OUT OF NEW ZEALAND

Was cleared for publication in medical journals:

The adjustments role is to stimulate central sensitization.

Improving the way your brain looks at your body.

HOW DOES AN ADJUSTMENT WORK?

With a gentle touch, the patient is

placed into a biomechanically safe and

neutral position, allowing only a light thrust

to mobilize the abnormally

functioning spinal segment.
