Nutrition: One of the biggest consistent comments we hear from patients in town is that eating here in Casper is difficult and challenging at best. Many feel self-defeated in not knowing what to choose and what to eat in to get healthier, lose unwanted body fat and increase their energy. In this guide, I want to give you every single resource and insight possible to educate you and help you to begin making simple easy choices based on my personal recommendations and what you will come to learn on a deeper level here in our wellness programs at 307 Chiropractic Health Center.

With most any restaurant you go to, you can order something healthy when you know a few set guidelines and what to do to modify your choices to make healthy eating work for you:

1. Have a salad with your meal and have dressing on the side rather than slathered all over your vegetables. The goal is to learn the love the clean fresh taste and energy vegetables provide, not the oily dressing. Many salad dressing oils are highly toxic and unhealthy and pack on cellulite and fat and diminish heart and brain health. Order a lemon wedge instead of dressing if you’re going for lean and healthy!

2. Order proteins that are leanest such as chicken, wild fish, leaner cuts of meat and order without sauces and butter.

3. Order a side of steamed or baked vegetables without the sauce, oil or butter. Sprinkle a little salt and lemon and enjoy them as they are.

4. Skip the bread and pasta! Bread with the meal packs on several hundred calories and significant grams of saturated unhealthy fats and makes it very hard to eat on track. It can also make you hungrier before your meal arrives!

5. Drink water with lemon to help alkalize your body and digest your food. Filling up on water BEFORE your meal arrives helps stave off excess hunger and prepares your digestive system for a good meal.

If you don’t see your favorite restaurant on this list…let us know where you frequently eat and we will tell you what’s best to order or how to order you favorite foods modified in a way that makes them healthier.

Lunch: #1 Cajun Chicken sand with no cheese and a side salad with dressing on the side #2 Pit 1, no top bun with fresh guac on top instead. No cheese would be best. The boring burger turns non boring with the fresh guac on top! Get with a side salad with the dressing on the side Dinner: #1 Cajun Cobb Salad with blue cheese crumbles and balsamic dressing on the side. #2 Sanford’s Sirloin, no famous fry bread, black eyed peas and a side salad with dressing on the side.

Here’s a basic Guide for what to know about selecting your shopping items from the lists above to AVOID excess weight gain or compromising your good health: 1. Meat Eat This Not That Organic Free Range Chicken Conventional Chicken Grass fed Beef Conventional Beef Nitrate Free bacon Conventional Bacon Wild Caught Fish Farm Raised Fish Choosing clean meats is one of the most vital changes you can make, and the first step I recommend to my patients when they begin changing their eating habits. When you make the switch to eating anti-inflammatory meat full of good fats you instantly begin decreasing inflammation in the body, which decreases pain. Our community is in more pain than it has ever been in and eating inflammatory meat is adding fuel to the fire. Inflammatory meats speed up the disease process and make it more difficult for the body to recover. Conventional meats are raised with antibiotics, GMO feed, and growth hormones, all of which find their way into your body when you choose to consume them. In my kitchen, we balance our weekly

menus with organic free-range chicken and grass fed beef. We also plan to eat wild caught fish at least once a week. 2. Vegetables

Buy Organic Do Not have to Buy Organic

Apples Avocados Strawberries Pineapples Grapes Cabbage Celery Frozen Sweet Peas Peaches Onions Spinach Asparagus Sweet Bell Peppers Mangoes Nectarines Papayas Cucumbers Kiwi Cherry Tomatoes Eggplant Snap Peas Grapefruit Potatoes Cantaloupe Hot Peppers Cauliflower Blueberries Sweet Potatoes Sweet Corn Optimum health may be achieved by eating fresh produce, however that produce must not be covered in pesticides. The only way to reap the health benefits without the pesticide load is by eating organic foods. According to the scientific community small doses of pesticides and chemicals damage the nervous system, which controls every single function in the body and increases your risk of cancer. In a world where toxicity is becoming an epidemic it is critical that we start to eat CLEANER. However, I understand that buying all organic fruits and vegetables can be expensive. This is why we follow the chart above when purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables for our family. TIP Always finding a large selection of organic fruits and vegetables can prove to be difficult. If you are unable to find fruits and vegetables that need to be organic, you can always wash them at home in an easy to make solution to remove a good portion of the pesticides. Of course organic is better, but when it is not available, this serves as a great back up plan. Fill your sink with ratios of 2 cups of water, ¼ cup vinegar, and 2 Tbsp. lemon juice and add all fruits and vegetables. Let soak for 10 minutes before rinsing and putting away. 3. Other simple changes

Eat This Not That Organic Pasture Raised Eggs Conventional eggs or even cage free eggs Raw Cheese Conventional cheese Butter from Grass fed cows (Kerrygold) Margarine or non-organic butter Gluten free bread (Fran’s bread) Regular bread (Even if it’s wheat) Ezekiel Bread (2nd best choice) Regular bread Almond butter Peanut butter Almond or Coconut milk Cow’s milk Honey, xylitol, stevia Sugar Lemon or Coconut water Pop, Gatorade, coffee, energy drinks, etc.

Exercise The gym is not nearly as important as the type of exercises and workouts you do at it. I go to Life Time because it’s close to my house and office. I also Crossfit as well as do any High Intensity Interval Training or weight training I need. There are also other areas where I can get a good sweat on without realizing it like racquetball, basketball and swimming. My recommended type of workouts is:

HIIT workouts (High Intensity Interval Training) or Burst-like workouts o This means you go hard for a period of time followed by a time of rest.

For example, doing a tabata, where you go hard for 20 seconds with a 10 second rest then back to 20 seconds on and off repeatedly for 4 minutes.

Why do I workout this way? Because of Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption or EPOC. This is

where you force your body to use more oxygen than it can replenish it with, which forces you into an oxygen deficient state and further from your resting metabolic function or homeostasis. This forces the body to burn more calories and fat. The body is always trying to maintain homeostasis and in order for it to do that it takes energy. The further away from homeostasis you can get the body the more benefits you can experience. This is how a person can be burning fat and building lean muscle up to 35 hours after their workout, their body is still bringing itself back to homeostasis. Exercises that use more oxygen burn more calories and this is why EPOC is influenced more by the intensity than the duration of the exercise. Higher intensities require more ATP from anaerobic pathways which results in a greater EPOC effect during post exercise recovery. I love burning fat and building lean muscle in my sleep!

RESULTS. Alternate the following workouts to make up a weeks worth of Tabata exercises that you can use to get you started. You will need to download a Tabata timer app on your phone or use the stopwatch. Many of them are free and simply help you keep track of your active and rest times. We use “Totally Tabata”. Each of these workouts only takes about 20 minutes. Even the person with the busiest schedule can spare an extra 20 minutes a day to get results and radically change your life. HITT workouts allow you to get in the best shape of your life, using minimal time. You get the greatest results in the least amount of time, but you must work out at your maximum potential during the active periods. Each individual will have different goals, for example one person may be able to do 20 squats in 20 seconds while someone else’s maximum is 10. The number is not what is important, as it will increase the more workouts you do, in the beginning it is just important to put in your maximum effort. So crank up some motivational music and get your work out on. We understand that everyone is at a different stage in their fitness journey, which is why we have included a workout regimen for both the beginner and the experienced athlete. Beginner: As a beginner who does not exercise regularly, we recommend you start here. When you are in pain, exercise is the last thing on your mind. However something as simple as adding walking to your daily routine can lubricate the body’s joints, giving you a low stress way to reduce pain immediately. Casper, Wyoming is home to many walking paths and hiking trails that you can utilize to get outdoors and get moving. Head down to the Platte River Trails and take a relaxing stroll on the newly renovated path near 3 Crowns Golf Course, or for an extra challenge take on Bridal Trail at Rotary Park at the base of Casper Mountain. Make it your goal to get outdoors and enjoy the beautiful scenery Casper has to offer at least once a week. Follow the sample weekly work out plan below to begin feeling great and getting out of pain today.

Rest Day

Include these stretches to your workout routine and get yourself out of pain today! Intermediate: Some people have already begun a walking routine and are ready to kick it up to the next level. For you, we have included beginner tabata exercises to help you reach your fitness goals. Tabatas last only 4 minutes and include a period of active workout and a period of rest. The workout lasts 20 seconds, followed by 10 seconds of rest. Begin including body weight tabata routines to your exercise regimen to get into the best shape of your life. Each of the exercises can be modified to fit your individual needs. Body squats are a great way to use one of the largest muscle groups in your legs, getting you great results. To start, hold on to a chair while squatting, keeping your body aligned. You can then progress into squats without using a chair. Push-ups can be done on your knees until you build up the upper body strength. Challenge yourself and try even a few push-ups without using your knees, before lowing yourself down to finish the set. If you suffer from knee pain you can do stationary jumping jacks, moving one arm and leg out at a time to avoid jumping, and can do your push-ups against the wall to eliminate resting on sore joints.

Toxicity Is The New Risk Factor for Obesity! Do You Know How Toxic You Are?

Listen, we want to give you the real scoop on toxicity, because it’s a real

hidden problem you should be very concerned about. This could very well

be a complete game changer for you, so tune in here.

Many toxins are known to be endocrine (scientific word for

hormone) system disruptors; this means they affect your body's intricate

balance of hormones, your chemical messengers that run just about

every metabolic function you can name!

Toxins can impact a variety of hormonal systems including sex hormones,

thyroid hormone and insulin, which controls your blood sugar levels.

Toxicity has been implicated in everything from obesity, diabetes and

insulin resistance, to low testosterone levels and hypothyroidism. Basically,

toxins screw up everything!

QUESTION? Where do you think most of your toxins are stored?

Answer: Your fat cells!

Over time, our bodies can become overburdened from toxins so it’s in

your very best interest to cleanse regularly, which is why I am giving you a

miraculous recipe for a daily detox drink that is simple and easy to make

This drink is packed with healthy bacteria for gut health, alkalizing elements and anti-inflammatory components, with the ability to boost your metabolism. What could be better?

Chiropractic: Everybody knows that one person who ate the healthiest foods, drank mainly water, never smoked, worked out everyday and died suddenly at a young age. The single most important thing you can do to obtain your full health potential is to get your nervous system checked regularly. When I tell people I am a Chiropractor they generally think of aggressive cracking of the neck like in the movies. That is a bad picture and story of Chiropractic, and that is not my style, I do not hurt you to make you feel better! Chiropractic as a profession is good at getting people well with neck pain, back pain and sciatica but what we consider ourselves experts at in our clinic besides getting people out of pain are headaches and migraines, sleeping problems, allergies and chronic fatigue. Now the reason we have such great results with these is because we look for and remove subluxations. These are misalignments in the spine where a bone has shifted out of alignment, which causes inflammation, irritation and stress to the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nerves.

Page 29: “The Ultimate Guide to Healthy Eating & Living in Casper!”307chiropractic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/The... · 2016-03-23 · “The Ultimate Guide to Healthy Eating & Living

Subluxations in the neck can cause headaches, migraines, sleep insomnia, allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome and thyroid issues, in the upper back they can cause breathing problems, asthma, heart issues and indigestion. Misalignments in the low back may cause digestive issues, constipation, menstrual problems, infertility and sciatica. This all is true because what controls every single function in the body? Yes, the nervous system. The spine is the motor to the brain. If the spine doesn’t move properly and completely, the brain doesn’t receive the correct signals, it’s called dysafferentation, and therefore cannot tell the body the correct way to adapt to that situation. There is not one disease process that is not affected by the nervous system. Every single disease process was created because the body could not adapt well enough to the environment it was put in. Heart disease, cancer, diabetes are all results of being stressed out for days, weeks, months or years. When somebody is subluxated it sends negative signals to the brain, which causes negative chemicals to be released which causes negative results and more STRESS. Does that make sense? If you are subluxated you are not able to adapt at your full God given potential and this is why Chiropractic can save your life, just like it has for so many already. Who knows how great you could be, how much more money you could make or success you could achieve. If you are subluxated you are a sub you. When people are allowed to function at their greatest and their full God given health potential, miracles are experienced. We help many people every single day and would love to sit down and go over your specific situation and create a customized plan for total health and wellness that includes Chiropractic to help you live your best life.
