  Speaker 1: Here to guide you through the journey to optimal health
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and wellness, Dr. Kelsey Keene.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: You know that feeling when you can't sleep night after
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: night and nothing seems to help? the melatonin, the warm milk,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the just try to relax advice, and then you're still
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m. I had a
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: patient like that, chronic insomnia for years. She had tried
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: everything the regular system had offered her, and then we
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: adjusted her spine, specifically corrected interference in the upper neck
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and mid-back, and within a couple of weeks, she was
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: sleeping through the night again, full, deep sleep. So how
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: does moving a bone change someone's ability to sleep? That
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: in part is what we're talking about today. Welcome to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Max Life Austin. I am glad you're here. I'm your host, Dr.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Kelsey Keene. I'm the owner of Keene Family Chiropractic in
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Northwest Austin. Today, we're going after something the mainstream health
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: system almost never talks about, the deep connectivity of the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: human body. Most of what we're told today treats the
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: body like a machine, a collection of separate parts. If
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: something's broken and you find that part and then you
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: fix it. Or more often, they suppress the symptoms in
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: that broken part. But the body isn't a machine. It's
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: a living, intelligent, interconnected whole. And when we start to
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: see how deeply connected everything really is, the whole approach
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to health will change. So let's start with some examples
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: most people never really think about. Your gut and your
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: brain are in constant conversation. We call it a gut-brain access.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: The trillions of bacteria in your gut produce neurotransmitters and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: short-chain fatty acids that directly influence your mood, your stress response,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and even your sleep. And when the microbiome is off,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: mental health often suffers. And then when we restore it,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: mood can lift in ways that surprise people. I saw
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: this with a patient dealing with depression. I do functional
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: testing in the office. So we ran a functional stool
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: test and found significant disrupted microbiome within her. So we
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: supported her with the right probiotics, increased her fiber so
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: her body could make those short chain fatty acids that
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: feed the brain. We saw those depleted in her functional
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: test as well. And then as her gut environment improved,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: what do you know? The depression started to lift. The
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: gut and the brain were talking the whole time. We
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: just had to clean up the conversation. So here's another one.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Your immune system and your nervous system are in continuous dialogue.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Chronic stress doesn't just make you feel stressed, it changes
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: your immune function. It can ramp up inflammation or suppress
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the very responses that you need to stay well. The
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: two systems share chemical messengers. They're not separate departments. Your
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: heart and your brain are also tightly linked. The heart
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: has its own network of neurons, sometimes called your heart brain,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and the rhythms of the heart influence emotional regulation and
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: mental clarity. If you calm your heart, and then the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: brain often follows. Agitate the nervous system and the heart
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: feels it immediately. Even your fascia, that continuous web of
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: connective tissue that wraps every muscle, organ, and bone is
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: now understood as a communication network. It transmits mechanical and
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: chemical signals throughout the body. Tension in one area can
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: affect function far away. Those are not isolated systems. They
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: are constantly influencing one another. And at the center of
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: all this communication is the nervous system. Your central nervous system,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the brain, the spinal cord, and the nerves that branch
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: out from it is connected to every single system, organ, tissue,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and cell in the body. And there's not one function
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: that happens without the nervous system being involved and directing it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Not digestion, not hormone production, not immune response, not sleep,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: not mood. There's nothing. Now, here's the part that almost
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: never gets discussed in a regular medical office. That nervous
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: system is protected and also potentially interfered with by the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: structure of your spine. The vertebrae are designed that surround
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: and protect that nervous system. They're designed to move and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to protect the the spinal cord, and the nerve roots
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that exit between them. And when those vertebrae lose their
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: proper position, or if they're not moving like they're supposed to,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: that's what we term as a subluxation in the spine.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe you've heard me talk about that on shows before.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: They can create interference in the very signals that the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: body needs to function optimally. It's not just about back pain,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: although you can get neck and back pain when you
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: have subluxations. It's about whether the brain's messages are getting
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: through cleanly to the rest of the body. I had
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: another patient with years of chronic digestive problems. They had
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: been diagnosed with IBS at one point, but it was
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: just all over the board. And she tried multiple different medications.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: She'd been on special diets with only some partial relief,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: but it just continued with her. So again, we assessed her,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: found areas of subluxation, especially in the low back where
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: those nerves go to digestive organs and can affect motility
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and digestion, absorption. We adjusted her spine where it needed
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to be, especially the mid and lower thoracic area that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: influence the digestive organs as well as the lumbar spine.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: And we put her on a targeted nutrition plan. And
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: her symptoms dramatically improved. The gut started working the way
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: that it was designed to again because the nervous system
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: has to be able to properly control and coordinate digestion.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: So when interference is removed and the body is given
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the raw materials that it needs, it often it remembers
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: how to heal because your body was intelligently made and
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: it knows how to heal. It just needs no interference
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: to be able to do that. And when all the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: things that I teach around the five essentials of health,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: especially the chiropractic portion around adjusting the spine to allow
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: for improved and normal nerve communication and This is how
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: we address those root causes to remove the interference and
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: help the body be able to heal like it's supposed to.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: And this is where the vitalistic view of health and
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the mainstream medical model go in completely different directions. The
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: vitalistic perspective says the body has an innate intelligence. It
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: is designed to self-regulate, to adapt and heal. And when
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: interference is removed and the right conditions are then present,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: this is where healing happens. The nervous system is the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: primary expression of that intelligence in the body, that God-given intelligence. Now,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: that's what I do. The mechanistic model. treats the body
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: more like a car. This is the conventional medical approach
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: that many of you have been part of. Something breaks,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: you replace the part, or you suppress the warning light.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: That approach is brilliant when you have a broken bone,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: a heart attack, or you have a severe infection. Great.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: They can keep you alive. Emergency and crisis care in
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: our medical system can be life-saving, and we should be
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: grateful for that, and I am. But when it comes
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: to creating actual health, chronic sleep problems, digestive dysfunction, mood issues,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: low energy, immune struggles, the mechanistic model is often limited.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: It tends to manage symptoms rather than restore the underlying
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: communication and functioning of the body. And that's why so
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: many people feel like they're on a merry-go-round of prescriptions
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and specialists without ever getting to the root cause. So
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: what does that mean for you as a listener? It
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: means that if you've been dealing with chronic issues like sleep,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: digestive issues, mood, energy, immune challenges, chronic pain, It may
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: not be that your body is broken. It may be
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: that the communication system is under interference or that the
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: body is missing the raw materials that it needs to
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: regulate itself. You know, looking at the spine and the
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: nervous system is not an alternative. to good medical care.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: It's addressing a foundational piece that the symptom-based model often overlooks.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Your body was designed with remarkable intelligence. Our job is
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: to remove interference and support that intelligence, not override it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: So if what I've shared today, if it resonates with you,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I want to invite you to do something about it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: What we do here on Max Life Austin is offer
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to our listeners to come in and be
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: evaluated and see if what we do can help improve
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: your health. And that is an extensive process, especially for
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: that very first appointment, because we want to get to
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: know you. We want to understand what your issues are,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: and we want to do the necessary testing to know
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: if what we offer is something that could drastically improve
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: your health and get to these underlying causes. So for
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: the first five people who call right now, if you
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: call right away, you can come in for a new
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: patient exam that includes all the necessary spinal x-rays. That
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: is a big part of it. And the exam and
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the consult and the computerized testing that we do. And
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: we're going to do that for just 50% off for
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: our radio listeners. And that brings the cost of that
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: first appointment down to just $ 99. 50. So the number to call,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the one you want to know right now is 512-967-1196. 512-967-1196.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: And this offer is only for the first five callers.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: So if you've been waiting for a sign to finally
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: get answers about spine and nervous system and all you
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: have and want to get to the root cause of
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: what is causing you to feel poorly, you can call
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: right now 512-967-1196. I want to tell you a little
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: bit about what that initial appointment, what we look at,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: especially the computerized scans that we do that allow us
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: to find out where there's dysfunction in the nervous system,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: because I think this can be really helpful. We know
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: stress affects how the nervous system performs. And if we
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: have increased physical, emotional, and biochemical stress, it can trigger
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: reactions in the spine and the nervous system. And these
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: stress reactive patterns are are known as vertebral subluxations, and
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: they can alter how a person adapts to the demands
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: of their daily lives. And as a chiropractor, we're trained
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: to identify and manage vertebral subluxations using a drugless and
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: effective approach to that. So we use something called the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Insight scanning technology, and it's been specifically designed to scan
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: for those stress reactions within the spine and the nervous system.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: And it can be used to examine any age of patients,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: including even pregnant women. They don't emit radiation. They're FDA-registered,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Class II medical devices. And in our office, part of
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: that new patient evaluation is that we use a combination
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: of the scanning technology with that examination. And there's three
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: main parts to that. And I want to explain how
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: this helps us to see where these interferences in the
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: nervous system are so that we can address those and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: get your body communicating and healing like it's supposed to.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: The three most commonly used instruments in this testing is
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: a surface EMG. It's called NeuroCore. And it collects neurological
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: data from the muscles along the spine and and track
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: signals that are outside the normal range. So we have
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: sensors that are gently touched to the skin from the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: lower back to the neck region at regular intervals, and
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: neural activity graphs and reports are created that compare how
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: postural stress is affecting your spine and the overall energy
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: of the body. Because if you have a subluxation, And
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: that's causing abnormal nerve communication to the muscles. This can
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: cause the muscles to be overreactive and really tight. This
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: might be the situation if you've had some really chronically
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: tight areas in your body and massage just, if it helps,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: it's short term and just returns back so quickly. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: you're wondering like, what does it take to get this
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: area to release? Well, it might be about the alignment
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: of your spine and And these types of tests help
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: us identify what segments this is coming from so we
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: can be really specific with your adjustments. We also do
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: a test that's called the neurothermal. This scanning detects unbalanced
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: activity in the spinal nerves that regulate your organs and
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: your glands. So this is looking at the autonomic nervous system.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: So we roll it slowly. instrument from the lower back
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: to the base of the skull, and it's recording a
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: very finite temperature measurement along the way. And this helps
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: us to see dysautonomia, where the nervous system is not
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: communicating with the autonomic nervous system the way that it should,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: which results in dysfunction at the ends of those nerves
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: in the organs and the glands, as well as it
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: affects the blood vessels as well with their constriction or
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: their dilation. And so again, this helps us to be
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: really specific to see where those issues are. Also love
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: these scans for small children. Our youngest patients are newborns, obviously.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: They get chiropractic adjustments very differently than the adults do.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: But we can't, you know, get answers from babies about,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: you know, where it hurts, right? And it's a little
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: bit more difficult. So you rely on talking to the
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: parents and finding out what they have noticed. And we
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: do these scans. So very painlessly without, you know, putting
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: anything into the body, we can see where the dysfunction
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: is coming from and be very specific with those very
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: gentle adjustments that we give to babies. And then we
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: also use a NeuroPulse. And this is looking at heart
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: rate variability. So this scanning uses heart rate, temperature, and
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: skin conduction to calculate the heart rate variability. Your middle finger,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Your middle finger and hand rest on sensors while you
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: sit calmly for about three minutes. And the collected data
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: is used to understand how long-term and acute stress have
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: affected a person's adaptive reserve in their body. We can
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: also use a special ear clip or finger sleeve sensor
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: for doing this kind of test on newborns, infants, or
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: young children. And then The data from these three tests
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: is combined to create a neural efficiency index score known
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: as the core score. And then this will be your
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: personal stress adaptation score. And it helps track your improvements
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: also because as we go along addressing these issues with
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: our patients, these are scans that we're doing routinely along
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: the way, tracking improvement and changing our approach if we're
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: not seeing those changes improve like we expect to. And
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: it provides valuable data for yourself and for me as
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: a chiropractor to discuss lifestyle changes. If you have a
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: score closer to 100, it means your nervous system is
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: managing stress very effectively. So everyone talks about stress, but
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: you may not know how your body is handling that stress.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: And these types of scans not only help us find
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: those areas of subluxation, be able to help to address
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: them in the right way and see if we're improving
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: it as we go along. If what I've shared with
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: you today, again, if it resonates with you and you
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: want to come in and get that kind of scanning
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: done yourself, including any necessary digital x-rays, remember we're doing
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: this for the first five callers right now for just $ 99. 50.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: That's a 50% discount on that first appointment. And that
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: number to call again one last time is 512-967- 512-967-1196.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: If your body is giving you signals that something's not working,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: maybe that is pain. Maybe that is dysfunction in one
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: of your organ systems. Maybe that's not being able to
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: sleep properly, not being able to calm your nervous system.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: If your heart rate is up, if you're seeing your
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: blood pressure creep up, If you're noticing that your immune
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: system is not functioning correctly, you're getting sick often. All
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: these things are warning signs. And, you know, in the
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: mechanistic view of health care, you get that warning light
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: on your busted car and, hey, no problem. We'll just
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: cover up that light. You won't feel it. You won't
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: see it. We'll treat the symptom. But it's not addressing
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: why that is. And so I really encourage you to
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: look into more vitalistic practices and think about your body
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: as a whole. What you eat affects your mental health.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: It affects the energy in your body. It affects whether
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: or not your body becomes efficient at using fat for
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: energy or if it's going to rely on a steady
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: stream of sugar. And that comes with a lot of
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: cravings and agitation. How you move your body affects your
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: your health in every way it's not just about being
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: physically fit and having muscles although that is a really
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: important aspect of health in fact your muscle mass is
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: the currency of longevity so if you plan on living
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: to 80 90 years old You're going to need muscles
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: to get there. And you cannot neglect your physical health
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: when it comes to exercise. Really huge. But because of
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: the interconnectivity of the body, not only does exercising increase
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: your muscle mass and make your body stronger, but it's
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: going to affect your digestion as It affects your immune system.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: We have studies to show all these things. It affects
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: your mental health. Most runners know that. But the goal
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: here is just not doing something for just one result,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: but because this is necessary for your body to thrive
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: and work correctly because of that interconnection of the body,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: that's why we do it. That's why we care about
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: chemicals and toxins that we're exposed to. Because although our
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: body was intelligently designed with a detox system already installed,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: then we have organ systems that are designed to protect
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: us from exposure to toxins. I would argue that the
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: amount of toxins we are exposed to on a daily
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: basis right now in this year is more than our ancestors,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: significantly more than our ancestors 60 years ago or especially
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: 100 years ago. So we have a constant onslaught of
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: chemical toxins and toxicants that our body is having to
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: deal with. And we've talked about the toxic bucket theory
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: on this show before, but basically our body's detoxing. That's
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: the drain at the bottom of the bucket. But if
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: that bucket gets filled too much and the drain can't
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: keep up, it's going to overflow. And that's where disease
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: and symptoms start expressing themselves and we start becoming aware
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: of them. And so not only do we need to
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: support our body's ability to detox, looking at what does
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: help the body detox properly? How do I support my liver?
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: What are the right foods to eat or the nutrients
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: that I might need that support the body's way of detoxing,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: like glutathione, how important that is for detoxing. But we
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: don't do that just because it makes us feel better.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: In fact, sometimes when you're detoxing, you don't feel great
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: in the very beginning. But we do that because we
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: know that the body's interconnected and that constant exposure and
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: not being able to detox properly will result in health
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: issues down the road because the body is interconnected, right?
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: and mindset, you know, a healthy mindset, what you think about.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I think the Bible tells us a lot about that,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: about not worrying for anything and putting our trust in God.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: And this is a lesson I have to learn all
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: the time. I have to constantly remind myself of. But
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: everything is connected. The things you think what you dwell
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: on will show up in your life in other ways.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: In fact, a lot of times the things you focus
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: on grow. And so what are you focusing on? This
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: can have an impact on your health as well. We
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: know that that stress, our body, our brain doesn't know
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: the difference between a real threat or a perceived threat.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: And most stress in our life is perceived threats. We're
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: worrying about what tomorrow is going to be like or
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: what's going to happen down the road. Well, what if
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: this doesn't happen? Well, now our body is feeling like
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: it's under attack because it doesn't know that this is
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: a potential threat. It feels like a threat. And all
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: the things that happen when your body is threatened the
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: changes in your respiration, the changes in your heart and
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: your vasculation, the changes in your digestion. And that all
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: came from something that you were thinking. All these things
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: affect our health, especially the alignment and the structure of
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: the spine. And in a day and age where we
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: spend a lot of time sitting, a lot of time,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe you're a weekend warrior and you're in sports.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe you've been in some car accidents, ones you walked
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: away from. But that body remembers that trauma. Nothing was broken,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: but things got shifted. And then suddenly you noticed you
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: weren't moving as well as you were before. Things are
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: stiffer in areas than they used to be. And it's
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: an accumulation of trauma. trauma to the spine that creates
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: these major subluxation patterns and affects our posture. And that
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: is something that as a chiropractor, we can correct. We
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: can address those issues. But it starts with that first appointment,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: like we were talking about, and really seeing overall, how
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: do we approach this? How do we get the body
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: functioning like it's supposed to? And where in the crucial
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: thing here is just being evaluated because you don't know
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: until you get checked and so I highly recommend if
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: you were interested and you're not just not quite sure
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: but maybe take take that step right away for your
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: health nothing changes in our life without action whether it's
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: me or another chiropractor that you're connected with, or someone
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: your family sees that they trust, go get evaluated as
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: soon as possible. If you have questions for me, or
