12 THE VERDICT IS IN

Modern living hasn’t done our kids any favors. One in every four kids is now on chronic medications, many of which are for diseases once reserved for adults. Thankfully, parents everywhere are beginning to look away from failing, conventional practices and toward the 5 Essentials of Maximized Living. More and more families are doing all that they can to begin producing real health so that they don’t end up fighting disease.

When it comes to the minds of our children, they are born to nurture and develop cognitive functions like: imagination, focus, adaptability, creativity, strategic skills, flexibility, and a sense of humor. These things are developed through adventure, investigation, crafts, art, reading, journaling, social interaction, physical activity, problem solving, and real-life experiences.

All of these basic necessities have one thing in common: None of them occur while watching TV or playing a video game. In fact, TV and video games do the work for you. Studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between time in front of a TV or computer screen and lowered IQ.

The good news is, you can fight to rebuild cognitive function, though. One great way is to play tic-tac-toe without a piece of paper.

The Board: ROW 1; A1 (Upper left corner), A2 (Center left), and A 3 (Lower left). ROW 2: B1 (Upper mid), B2(Center), B3 (Lower mid). ROW 3: C1 (Upper right), C2 (Center mid), C3 (Lower right) You play by calling out your move (A1, B3, etc.). No writing allowed. Players are forced to remember each previous move while planning their next one. Caution: Tougher than it sounds, this game may cause soreness!

Contrary to common thinking, childhood is the most pivotal time for good nutrition and spinal care. A child’s cells and organs are growing at light speed and using nutrients and nerve supply in order to do so. Just because kids seem better at burning off junk food or don’t have back pain, doesn’t mean they don’t vitally need Essentials 2 and 3.

As we’re finding out, many of the serious health problems adults face today start with fried food, blue cereal, and a bad spine as a child.

You need all 5 Essentials in a row to score a winning card when it comes to raising healthy families.

1. Why does my spouse need to come to a doctor's report? Dr.Greg - We are committed to delivering the highest

quality wellness care possible. Involving a patient’s spouse with the doctor’s report helps us achieve such consistently excellent results with our care. We seek to educate patients’ and their spouses to ensure they fully understand any health issues, how to correct them, and how they can work together to get—and stay—well. As a father and husband, I personally want to know the doctor taking care of my family, so we extend that courtesy to the rest of the community.

2. Do you take my insurance? I would rather go to my in-network doctor if you're not in my network.

GL- In today’s environment, most insurance plans are not designed to help a patient get well and they simply don’t act in the best interests of the patient. Our doctors are committed to putting the patient’s well-being first and a third party could easily interfere with our ability to deliver the best healthcare possible.

3. Can't I just come in and get adjusted whenever I feel like it? Why do I have to be on a care plan recommendation?

GL- We are committed to maximizing your health. Maximized Living doctors will always provide recommendations based on what your body needs to achieve the best health results.

4. How will chiropractic care get me off of my medications?

GL- Chiropractic care does not get anyone off medications. Typically, when a body starts functioning better, the body does not need medications. Our purpose at Maximized Living is to remove all interferences to allow the body

to heal naturally. Once a body is functioning properly, it would typically not need the assistance of medication.

5. I can't afford buying all organic food. What changes can I make to shop and eat healthier, but not break my bank?

GL - The first step is to eat as many organic meals as you can afford. This doesn’t mean every meal. Focus on improving your health one meal at a time, rather than thinking about changing all these other little factors about how you eat. Some people have the finances to change everything at once, but for most people, it’s making little changes at a time that will eventually achieve lasting health.

BUT REMEMBER! What you invest in wellness today, can save you years and thousands of dollars later. The 5 Essentials are worth the investment!!

I heard about Risoldi Family Chiropractic through a seminar at my workplace. Dr. Mike shared a wealth of knowledge with our agency and I felt comfortable going there for an adjustment.

I am currently 44 years old and have had back pain ever since a car accident when I was 23. So for 21 years I had suffered with little or no relief—sometimes it was even hard to sleep. To top it all off, for the past 11 years I have had frequent, severe migraines and developed trigeminal neuralgia (a condition that causes shooting pains in the head and face). I was a mess and quite honestly, feeling hopeless after all of the failed treatments I had tried.

I've been on all kinds of meds from neurologists. I’ve had gamma ray surgery (a type of radiation on your cranial nerve). I’ve been through physical therapy, massage therapy and have even gotten Botox shots in my head.

NOTHING SEEMED TO WORK. At that point, I figured it couldn’t hurt to visit Dr. Mike. I have been going there for just a couple months, but I can honestly say my back pain is relieved and my migraines are nearly nonexistent.

Before, my doctors would put me on pain pills and say “Sorry, that’s the best we can do. “ I didn’t want to be on the medicine. It brought me down. After the first adjustment from Dr. Risoldi, I felt significant relief—I knew I was on to something. Just two weeks later, I had no back pain whatsoever for the first time in over two decades.

I just couldn't be happier. I have finally found someone who can help me! I can no longer believe that I went all this time suffering. The 5 Essentials have been the kick start that I needed. I now have my hope back.

I’ve also been participating in the 20 in 30 Challenge. So far, I’ve lost 15 pounds and I’m very happy about that— and that’s just through the Advanced Plan. MaxT3 is up next!My attitude is so much more positive. I just feel wonderful. And I know it’s everything that Dr. Risoldi and Maximized Living have done for me.

I’ve been through a lot while trying to get rid of my pain. I cannot fully express how happy I am now that it’s gone. I like going to a place where I know they not only believe in what they say, but all practice it as well. I can't wait to get even healthier!

Changed LivesJennifer, patient of Dr. Mike Risoldi, shares how Maximized Living has positively affected her health and attitude.

Have your kids been evaluated by your Maximized Living Doctor to ensure they are growing straight?

As early as birth, subluxations of one or more of the 24 spinal vertebra can become causative factors in the development of abnormal spinal curvatures. Scoliosis—a curvature of the spine that is visible on X-ray—can either cause physical suffering or be painless, but in either case set up a child for a lifetime of health complications. These years of anguish are largely avoidable by maintaining a healthy spine during childhood and adolescent development.

In conventional medicine, a spinal curvature may be easily overlooked. When a child is reporting regular symptoms, they can often be attributed to “growing pains.” An alert parent

may notice that a high shoulder or low hip makes clothing fit awkwardly. However,

these types of asymmetries may be distinguished from irregular muscle development, particularly when they can be less than 1 inch from one side to another.

Unfortunately, that slight inch could be indicative of a much greater spinal abnormality beneath the child’s layers of skin, fat, and muscle.

Although an X-ray is the most useful tool in measuring spinal alignment, not all X-rays are taken for this purpose. The positioning of the patient—either sitting, standing, or on his or her back—can influence the positional findings of the spine on an X-ray, and therefore, conventional medicine misses many curvatures.

When a spinal curvature is detected in conventional medicine, parents are often left with few, unsatisfying options: (1) Do nothing. (2) Apply a brace to their child’s body. (3) Elect for spinal surgery in an attempt to prevent progression of the curvature. Because the screenings and intervention options bring little hope to patients, you will be hard pressed today to identify a family doctor who will offer to check your child’s spinal development – even though the proper evaluation is clearly justified!

Be sure to have your kids’ evaluations done only by your Maximized Living Doctor of Chiropractic, certified in Essential #2: Maximized Nerve Supply. The corrective care methods practiced by certified Maximized Living Doctors utilize the most comprehensive spinal correction techniques and methods of analysis utilized in health care today.

A child’s entire spine does not subluxate (move out of place) all at once. The source of a spinal curvature is typically rooted in key areas of the spine, particularly the upper cervical region at the top of the neck, or in the lower lumbar spine (lower back) and pelvis. Upon analysis, your doctor can further identify which areas of the spine are most affected by the curvature, and therefore what areas of nerve function would be most compromised:

Occiput and Upper Cervical – eyes, ears, nose & throat C5-C7 – upper back and arms T1-T4 – heart and lungs T5-T11 – abdominal and digestive organsT12-L2, Pelvis and Sacrum – bowel, bladder, reproductive organs L4-L5 – lower back, buttocks, and legs

START EARLY A study conducted by Charles Lantz, DC, PhD, presented at the International Conference on Spinal Manipulation in November 1998, demonstrated the favorability of chiropractic care in reducing abnormal spinal curvatures in adolescents. The same three year study underscored the importance of having your kids checked early! The study indicated that children under the age of 10 showed on average, nearly 3 times better correction than children over the age of ten. The sooner a child with scoliosis begins receiving corrective chiropractic adjustments, the better was the chiropractor's ability to make a marked correction.

Although the medical community offers very little in the detection and treatment of spinal curvatures, Maximized Living offers hope. It has been my own experience that patients and their other doctors are wildly impressed by the results achieved in Maximized Living clinics.

As the twig is bent, so grows the tree. Talk to your Maximized Living doctor about an assessment for your child, when the healing potential is greatest. There is no better gift you can give than a lifetime of great health.

Dr. B.J. Hardick is the co-author of Maximized Living Nutrition Plans and a contributing author to The Cancer Killers: The Cause is the Cure. He is a 2001 graduate of Life University in Marietta, Georgia. Dr. Hardick was raised in a chiropractic family, living the 5 Essentials from a young age. He is in private chiropractic practice in London, Ontario, Canada.

Dr. Aaron Wall, Gateway ChiropracticMore than 150 people participated in the Maximized Living Makeover Event in downtown Ft. Worth, Texas. Dr. Wall’s clinic and staff were featured on "Good Morning Texas," talking about the event to the masses too!

THE

VISION

The poor state of global health is well documented. We’re at all-time highs in cancer, heart disease and type II diabetes. And our dependence upon prescription

medications and other reactive treatments keeps us hoping for cures instead of working for progress.

Maximized Living’s vision is to change all of that. But what started more than 10 years ago as a small group of dedicated chiropractors has swelled into a cohesive global movement. The first step is to establish a foothold in North American health care. To do that, we’re aiming to reach 34 million passionate patients who are determined take back control of their lives.

In this issue, we see the steps that two Dallas-area doctors have taken to make a lasting impact in their communities.

Drs. David and Kimberly Erb, Erb Family WellnessWe introduced the launching of Maximized Metabolix at our most recent Makeover event. We had 168 people in attendance, and they bought more than 100 Metabolix test kits at the event.

The following Saturday we hosted another 60-plus people who chose to pick up another 50 test kits. So after just one week of the launch we had distributed 150 test kits and tested more than 75 people!

Since then we have seen crazy miracles! After 30 days of being on the Metabolix Program we have seen a patient go from size 26 to size 16! She had discolored toes that have now healed to normal color. Her energy went from a 1/10 to 6/10, and her boss and coworkers are asking her what she is doing to make such a brilliant difference. She even sold a $1.5 million deal at work because her energy is so much better!

Fighting Back-to-School BugsWith the right nutrients, you can guard your body against the bacteria, viruses and toxins you pick up at school, at work and even in your own home.

THREE SUGGESTIONS IN YOUR BATTLE TO FIGHT INFECTIONS AND THE FLU:

1. Removing toxins. Natural remedies have long been used to removed chemicals and heavy metals from the body. Plant-based ingredients like chlorella have been shown to cleanse the digestive system and vital minerals like activated charcoal flush toxins from the body altogether. Combined, these natural supplements help protect against bodily toxicity.

2. Supporting the immune system. Whole food vitamins and probiotics are easily absorbed and utilized by the body, and they won’t leave a toxic trail. Vitamin D3—the natural form of vitamin D found in the sun’s rays—has been shown to aid in digestion, hormone production and overall immune function.

3. Boosting glutathione levels. What is glutathione? Just the body’s most powerful antioxidant. It protects the body against free radical damage and other potentially damaging toxins. The amino acid cysteine—which is abundant in grass-fed whey protein—is a key building block of glutathione.

Schoolyard fevers and flus make their way home with students, and then spread to the workplace. This powerful 1-2-3 combo can help you fight off the host of new toxins that accompany each new school year.

Ask your Maximized Living doctor about the vital resources that can help you stay healthy this fall.

Maximized Living doctors visited The Dream Center in Los Angeles to begin a partnership of serving the community and God.

As a boy, the preacher’s son had a dream: a church that remained open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This church would serve the inner city’s physical and spiritual needs, bringing a message of hope to the needy, destitute and seemingly hopeless. The Dream Center is the fulfillment of that dream. Pastor Matthew Barnett founded The Dream Center in 1994, and today The Dream Center houses close to 500 people who are being rehabilitated for the glory of God. Every week Dream Center residents receive food and many other services to help them meet their physical and spiritual needs.

Recently, a leadership team from Maximized Living—including co-founder Dr. Ben Lerner—visited The Dream Center and delivered the Winning My Race program to more than 2,000 people as a tool to fulfill God’s plan for them. After seeing the amazing impact of The Dream Center, Dr. Ben and the team discussed a partnership that would deliver Maximized Living’s powerful programs to individuals looking to get themselves back onto their God-given path.

From The Dream Center rooftop, Pastor Matthew Barnett details his vision for serving the city of Los Angeles to the Maximized Living team.

It is estimated that more than 50 percent of American adults use dietary supplements, and less than half of those using supplementation do so under the guidance or recommendation of a health care provider. The most common reasons for supplement use are to improve overall health, maintain health, and to prevent illness. Some people feel the immediate benefits of starting a supplement routine, while others notice little or no benefit.

WHY IS THAT? Supplementation is only truly effective if we are providing our bodies with the nutrients that we are actually deficient in.

Unfortunately, one trip to the health food store yields a wide variety of options formulated for the masses giving us a one-size-fits- most approach to supplementation. Buying supplements from the store ultimately boils down to an expensive guessing game.

PINPOINTING DEFICIENCIESThe key to really knowing your body’s needs and what you require for your individual body chemistry, goals, or health problems is metabolic testing. Metabolic testing is scientific, unique, and incredibly effective way to objectively know what nutrients and minerals your body is lacking, thus interfering with proper body function. It provides a blueprint that allows your physician to create a custom treatment protocol to address your specific needs. It can be the difference between average health and optimal health.

CUSTOMIZED CARE OPTIONS Metabolic testing is an easy and cost- effective means of determining what nutrients you need to get the results you desire.

The testing works by measuring organic acids in your urine and blood. Organic acids are tiny clues that your body gives off to indicate when you are not functioning at an optimal level. By measuring the levels of these organic acids, your specific nutrient requirements can be determined, including knowing precisely which type of supplements you need and at what dose.

QUALITY RULESIn addition to need, quality is absolutely crucial in deciding which supplements to use. Supplements on the market vary in potency, ingredients and manufacturing techniques, all of which impact quality and, therefore, how effective they can be.

THE VERDICT:While self-supplementation might provide the occasional health benefit, it is an unwieldy, one-size-fits-all approach that generally fails to provide optimal results.

A Comprehensive Metabolic Assessment (CMA) can provide your doctor with a view into your body’s metabolic processes and the efficiency of your metabolism. It allows you to discover metabolic interference that can be removed nutritionally. Targeted care using high quality, specific supplementation can help you achieve the results you desire.

Optimal health comes from looking at the whole person and taking an individualized route.

Talk to Your Maximized Living doctor about how Evidence-Based Testing can help you TODAY!

About Dr. Pragati Patel Gusmano, NDDr. Gusmano earned her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University. She joined the Maximized Living team as the Nutrition Coordinator in February. She brings with her a passion for evidence-based care and nutrition.

Growing up is hard to do. Whether your child’s an infant, toddler, adolescent or a teen, it’s no easy task.

Even today, so many children experience symptoms and chronic diseases that growing up becomes even more complicated. Think about it – when your child’s body is functioning at its best, they can think better, communicate better, breathe better, sleep better, heal and repair better, digest food better, respond to their environment better—the list goes on and on.

What happens when that’s not the reality for your child? Where do you turn for solutions?

Many times, the parents’ first reaction is to seek medical help. This often results in a prescription for a medication that treats the symptoms your child is experiencing. Does that fix the problem? Is this really “health” care? Or do these processes simply force us to manage our children’s symptoms and diseases?

WHAT’S HAPPENING TO OUR CHILDREN?Autism is increasing.• 2002 - 1 in 150 children were

diagnosed with autism. (0.67%)• 2004 - 1 in 125 children were

diagnosed with autism. (0.80%)• 2006 - 1 in 110 children were

diagnosed with autism. (0.91%)• 2008 - 1 in 88 children were

diagnosed with autism. (1.14%)

Today, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) states autism affects 1 in 68 children, with boys almost five times more affected than girls.

In addition to autism, childhood obesity has doubled in the past 30 years, adolescent obesity has tripled in the past 30 years and cancer remains the number one killer of children by disease. The brutal reality is that our children are growing up facing more symptoms and more diseases that are shown to be directly related to lifestyle choice, rather than genetics. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), two-thirds of all deaths are from non-communicable, non-infectious diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic lung disease – the top four deadliest diseases.

Things haven’t been getting better. Americans experienced a 60 percent increase in these non-communicable diseases from 2000 to 2011.

THE RESEARCH OFFERS HOPEThe body is self-healing. Maximized Living doctors identify and remove interference to the natural state of the body and support patients with lifestyle choices in alignment with God's design. It sounds simple to some, yet so foreign to others because of the 'symptom/treatment, symptom/treatment, symptom/treatment' model of standard medical care. By applying the principles of the 5 Essentials in your daily life, you join thousands of others who are applying logical lifestyle choices and proven science for the health of your family.

Get plugged in to the upcoming events focusing on Healthy Families, and get your neighbors, family and friends involved too. Together, we can change the future of our children!

Identify and Remove:Allowing your child's body the chance to heal as it was intended.

Less Pain…The worst part of any workout is getting out of bed the next morning. While the soreness that results from a hard day’s workout often signifies a job well done, it doesn’t have to interfere with your ability to function the following day.

Fortunately, that post-gym pain is caused by inflammation. Why’s this fortunate? Because studies have shown that certain foods can reduce inflammation.• Turmeric: Known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial

properties, one study noted turmeric’s ability to improve function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

• Indian gooseberry: Vital for proper immune system functioning, as it has been shown to lower inflammation and protect the heart.

• Cantaloupe: Containing vitamin C and producing superoxide dismutase, cantaloupe has been show to fight free radical damage and reduce joint stiffness.

Take the aches and pains out of your fitness routine. Utilize the healing properties of these natural, side-effect-free ingredients to stay loose between workouts. Start enjoying exercise again.

Ask your Maximized Living doctor about the inflammation-fighting effects of the ingredients found in Daily Defense. ™

...More GainSluggish? Tired? Just not “feeling it” today?

Finding the motivation to work out can be a battle for even the most dedicated gym-goers. Certain natural supplements can help boost your energy—and your will—to work out.• Carnitine has been shown to boost energy before and during exercise.• Creatine may boost athletic performance, especially during high-intensity exercise like MaxT3®.• Green Coffee maintains those energy levels throughout exercise, and even helps regulate blood sugar

levels.

These three key ingredients can help you get excited for your daily workout and keep up that positive energy afterward.

Ask your Maximized Living doctor about Max Fit™—which contains these three vital ingredients—to see if it may help you get the most from your exercise routine.
