“Your health can either work FOR you or AGAINST you.” -Dr. Justin Graf

The level of your health can determine your capacity to do what you want with your life.

The person’s life who has a higher level of health looks entirely different than someone with a lower level of health.

When someone is suffering with symptoms, sickness, disease or just decreased function there is no possible way they are living the life they were created to.

Think about someone suffering with chronic pain. Pain is distracting and drains energy. It robs a person of higher quality relationships.

Chronic pain steals energy that would normally be used to focus on daily and life goals.

This can affect your relationships, career, and finances.

Now imagine someone who is pain free, symptom free, disease free, and functioning at a high level.

This person has the ability to have a higher potential to achieve what they want in life.

Life can be hard enough sometimes. Don’t stack the deck against you by destroying your health with bad decisions.

Always choose investing in your health, because it will always work for you in every way in your life.

In many ways health is actually very predictable. However, so many people live in fear, uncertainty, and disempowerment when it comes to health.

It really starts with 100% faith that the body is powerful, that it makes no mistakes. It is always doing the right thing at the right time, whether you perceive it as good or bad.

We just need to follow the laws of health. Provide the body what it needs and the rest takes care of itself.

Our country is sicker than ever before because people think they can ignore the rules. They think they can cheat their health…until they no longer can.

Look at the people around you. Look at the sick and avoid the behaviors that got them there. Look to healthy and become motivated, inspired, and driven to mimic their behaviors.

Starting a shift in health starts with you. Open your eyes, your mind, and your heart to those around you.

Observe, learn, and take action to reclaim your health.

It really is an interesting phenomenon to see how a person can see the logic, rationale, and benefit in something, yet when it comes time to exchange money for the thing that makes the most sense in the world it no longer makes sense. At what point in someone’s thinking does it make more sense to hold onto money over health? This is what I call “Value Distortion”. This person has more of an emotional attachment to materialism than health and life. Emotion has clouded all common sense and logic. Think about the last time you were at the grocery store and decided the organic veggies were too expensive even though deep down you know it makes sense to buy them. We are all guilty of this. The solution to this is to tie more emotional connection with correcting, improving, and maintaining the highest level of health possible. We will always have to trade time, energy, and sometimes money for this. We now live in a privileged world where we have more opportunity for health than any other time. We have unbelievable resources in the way of health experts, information, and resources at our disposal. The crazy thing is that the more we invest in our health, the more time, money, and energy is created. So when people are concerned more with those things, the logical and emotional thing to do is invest in health. If we don’t have our health we don’t have anything. If we have less health we have less of everything. So I ask, what do you value more? #health #healthiswealth #lifehacks #fitness#fitlife #fitfam #chiropractic #massage#acupuncture #bodybuilding #bodytransformation#weightloss #crossfit #paleo #nutrition #yoga#discipline #commitment #focus #priorities#valuedistortion

Everybody knows that a strong core is essential for staying healthy, fit, and out of pain.

But what really is the core? Because if you don’t know what something is, how can you improve it?

Classically most physical therapists, strength coaches, and personal trainers teach that the muscles that wrap around your mid-section, some pelvic/hip muscles, and diaphragm make up your core. Of course this is true, however, this approach does not run deep enough to get the best results.

The core really all starts with your spine and nervous system.
First of all, the spine is your structural support system. It’s what holds your posture. The action of the above mentioned muscles are dependent upon proper alignment and movement of the spine.

Secondly, the function of the above mentioned muscles are dependent upon control of the nervous system. Your brain must be able to communicate via the spinal cord, spinal nerves, and peripheral nerves to optimally coordinate muscle activity.

Shifts in spinal alignment (SUBLUXATIONS) ultimately block normal nerve messages to and from the brain, interfering with core muscle activation.
Just imagine if you cut the nerves to these muscles. They wouldn’t work so well would they?

Proper spinal corrective and maintenance techniques in conjunction with chiropractic care is the foundation for a strong “core”. You are only as strong and healthy as your TRUE CORE, your spine and nervous system.
