• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Time out for back to the basics and healthcare with
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Mounce Life Chiropractic. We have doctor Harley joining us. How
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: you doing, doctor Harley?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'm doing great. I can't believe it's June already.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: I'm the fastest years going by.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: June is a lot of things like Dairy Month, it's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you know, all kinds of things, but it's also National
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Men's Health Month. And men are kind of stubborn, aren't we.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a good question to ask yourself. No,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: we're not.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: We are. We absolutely are.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing that kind of stinks. A lot
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of the time. We let something go, maybe even way
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: too long before we finally come in and go can
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you fix this? And you're like, how long is it?
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: How long have you have this problem?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah? It just tend to seem like men tend to
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: ignore their problems or like you know, make them smaller
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: than what they really are. And it takes you know,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: their wife, their mom, theirs, their friends.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Some female right use. Other men would be like I
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: walk it up.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Someone else in their life to push them like you
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: should really go get that looked at, or you should
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: probably go get a check up, or just something, because
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you know, it's really easy to just fine, I'll deal
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: with it later.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I just had I don't know what I did to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: my foot, but my foot was all black and blue
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Heidi said, you're walking funny. What's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: going on. I'm like, I don't know. My foot's kind
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of sorr. I turned my sock off. She's like, what
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: happened to your foot? I'm like, I have no idea.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: She maybe put an ice pack on it. I feel
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: way better. I'm like, well, maybe I should have thought
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of the ice pack. So for somebody who knows some
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: dude who's probably in pain but won't admit it, what
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: are some things that they can do to convince them that, hey,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: this is the month to go get that checked.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, just letting them know that you care about
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: them can be a big one. You know, they or
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: they don't even realize that it's a problem. So if
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you bring some research or you were talking to a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: chiropractor pt like, hey, I was talking like this came
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: up in conversation, they really think you should do something
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: about it before it gets worse. It's much easier to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: take care of problems when they're less or smaller versus
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: just pushing through it and waiting for it to get worse,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: because eventually it is gonna get worse.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And this month, again with it being Men's health month,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: if if you've been waiting for a reason to say, hey,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you should maybe get that checked, you could just say,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you know, want this is the month just do it,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Like what is it hurt? Go see doctor Harley. Maybe
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: she'll say it's nothing too, but she might also say,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: holy cow, why did you wait so long?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: That usually ends up being the answer.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I saw the look on your face. This is not
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: an uncommon thing, is it right.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's across both sides, men and women. We
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: tend to just kind of ignore our problems and wait.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And it's never a good idea to wait, because it's
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: gonna cost you more in the end, and it's gonna
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: be a lot harder to undo or prevent from getting worse.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: So if you're dealing with like a simple acre pain,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you know, come in now, don't wait. This is a
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: good opportunity to start thinking about even the just at
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: least sit down with us and we can discuss, you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: some options, Like you know, maybe I'll be like, yeah,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you're doing all right, just come back when things that's
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: probably not gonna happen, because if you have an acre pain,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: it's your body saying something's not right, something's not working
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: like it's supposed to. So it's it's good to take
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: care of it now when it's easier, versus when things
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: actually break down and fall apart and you need a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: lot more advanced medical help at that point.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And then you wake up and you're like, I can't
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: even get out of bed. Well, it probably didn't start today,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it started a long time ago. You should be following
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: these warning lights that are popping up and you're like,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: ooh this pain, ooh that pain. But again, I think
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: part of it is like I remember as as a boy,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: when I was a young man, when you get hurt,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: they would always just say, oh, walk it off right,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that you can walk it off, a little dirt on it.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Tends to have been the consensus for a lot of
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: people growing up is that we just you know, you
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: dealt with it, you lived with it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Times have changed, Chances are you're not going to walk
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: off everything.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: There's more opportunities and more options now that you don't
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: have to just go to your medical doctor or the er.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You know, there's urgent care. If you did fall and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: you're like, ooh, what if I broke something or strain something,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: you know, there's walk ins at like the orthopedic clinics
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: if you're like, I think I sprained something, and then
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: they can refer you to your pet, or you can
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: walk into a pet's office and talk to them, or
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you can come into a chiropractor's office and we can
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: start the ball roll in there to figure out, Okay,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: what's going on and what's gonna be the best solution
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to help you get back on your feet faster.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: If somebody listening is going, okay, I had this pain
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: or I had that pain, and you know what Men's
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Health Month, this would be a good excuse. It's a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: good excuse cause don't I mean just just say you
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna do it because of this. Now
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you can like suck it up and go do something
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: good for you. And you could say I'm doing it
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: because everybody in my life is making me do this.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Now you just take the high road there, but get
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: in here, check it out. How do they get a
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: hold of you to find out what's wrong with all
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: these things that are wrong with me? How can I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: fix it all right?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Instead of living in pain. You'll be amazed at how
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: good you can feel when you start taking care of
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: your health and your body, because we only get one.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And there are times where I just thought, well, I'm old,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that's just how I feel now. And then we've started
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: coming here. How long have we been coming here? It's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: been me I think like three years. Yeah, so, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: over the last three years, I feel so much better.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I sleep better. We've taken on a massive project, rebuilding
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a house. In the midst of all of that, there
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: were times that I kind of hobble in here. I'm like,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: fix me, doctor Harley, and then you do your magic
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and snap me back into shape. And again, I can't
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: even imagine what I would feel like if I didn
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: come here every week.
• 5:00

• 5:03
  Speaker 2: especially when they're a little bit older, and they're like, I,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: you know, feel really good or something happened, Like, imagine
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: what you'd feel if you weren't taking care of you
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: before this happened.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: And there are times where we're gone for a week
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and then by the time I come back, I'm like,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait to go in and see doctor Harley.
