I was talking with a patient this morning, and as she was explaining the stress in her life to me I realized that many people have not heard the full story on stress, how the body responds to it, and what it does to their bodies over time. This is another conversation I have daily, so I wanted to share it with you. First, I will tell you a story about a stressful event, and then we will break it down afterward.
Here are some interesting must-read articles by the medical community about the medical community. This first one entitled “Exploring the Harmful Effects of Health Care” states that:
On balance, the data remain imprecise, and the benefits that US health care currently deliver may not outweigh the aggregate health harm it imparts. Health care contributes only about 10% toward reducing premature death.¹
They aren’t even sure if they are breaking even! Let us cross reference that with the study “Death by Medicine,” written by MD’s and PhD’s:
Medicine is a leading cause of death in U.S. The estimated annual mortality of medical intervention is 783,936 lives and the economic cost is $282 billion.²
Everyone seems to be searching for an “authentic” experience, in fact, Generation Y is all about authenticity. A chance for something to happen to them, for a story to be made, for a pivotal moment that shifts their paradigm. We as humans are happiest when we are living congruently and consciously, though this is an uncommon state. There is a great disconnect happening within people that is keeping them from having an enjoyable, authentic, passionate life. This disconnect is caused by societal pressures, stress, and subluxations that overwhelm your body into a state of defensive adaptation where it survives on a sub-conscious level.
Living consciously is bringing awareness to everything in your life (actions, values, purposes, goals) and being fully present in each moment. It requires you to create a purpose by intelligent design, and to pursue it regardless of pleasure or pain. This is where the authentic experience occurs.
Why We Adjust Kids
Being born is hard work, for momma and for baby. Add that in to all the slips, falls, and bumps that are experienced in infancy and toddlerhood and subluxations (i.e. nervous system interferences) are likely to result. Because of this we have non-invasive, objective technology to check the integrity of your child’s nervous system. Since the nervous system controls all functions of your body, it is imperative that it function optimally to make sure that your child grows and develops to their full potential.

Today I would like to share a story with you from an unknown author. It is applicable in many ways, but as you are reading it, think of yourself as the carpenter of your body. You hold within you the power to lead a long, healthy life if you use the right materials and the right effort. God supplied the blueprint, and daily we provide the materials to rebuild. Build wisely, and live abundantly.
The Carpenter’s Story
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by. (more…)
I’m speechless…
Choosing healthy foods now called a mental disorder
This is how sick and twisted things are becoming. It’s called “Healthy Eating Disorder,” and it states that people are nervous about proper eating and making wise choices, and in eating well, they become malnourished. They would rather you fill yourself up with chemicals, put no thought into what you are doing, and continue buying all the crap that is out there for you to consume. (more…)

Thoughts – Positive Mental Attitude
Chiropractic – Clear nerve communication (turn the power on)

God made our bodies as a phenomenally complex grouping of nerves, muscles, joints, and bones that intimately work together to achieve Motion. This is why we say that Motion is Life, and is the key to maintaining a high quality of life and feeling youthful. (more…)
Purpose
To be happy, healthy, and vibrant. To be an example to others who ALL deserve the same.
Mission
To engage, educate, and encourage all people in our community about living subluxation free through a chiropractic wellness lifestyle. To help them have the body and health they deserve.
Vision
To have our community be the healthiest and happiest in America, by using chiropractic wellness care beginning at birth. Encouraging and practicing self-responsibility to stay active, properly nourished, and drug free.

Chiropractic accurately described by long-term patient, Bill Esteb (owner, http://patientmedia.com)
“Patients (and insurance carriers) see chiropractors as spine doctors. Both look through the allopathic (medical) lens of symptom treating, seeing the body as a collection of parts that breakdown independently of the others and that being symptom-free is the objective.
Conversely, chiropractors who practice in a way congruent with the principles of chiropractic see themselves as facilitators, guides and allies. Their holistic view of the body helps them appreciate that each of us is greater than the sum of our parts. Each of us is an experiment of one and that the objective of care is to help patients adapt to their environment and express their fullest potential.” — Bill Esteb. (more…)
