  Speaker 1: Time now for we're back to the basics and healthcare
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: with Balance Life Chiropractic. We're here with doctor Harley and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: we're talking back to school. And I'm excited to talk
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: about the back to school bugs because this is something
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that again, people, it's not just me. I remember every
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: time I'd go back to school, it seemed like I'd
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: come home with something new, and I would always call
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: it cooties. But it's not cooties, is it right?
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: You know, you spend all summer kind of isolated with
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: your family or your kids are isolated at home, and
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, we're back in school and
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: that Petrie dish is full and thriving, full of lots
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: of bugs and bacteria.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And for me, I was out in the fresh air
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and in the sunshine. And now I think kids maybe
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: are not quite as much out, you know, riding their
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: bikes and doing the fun stuff. But if you're used
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to fresh air, sunshine, and then all of a sudden
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you're stuck in a classroom with a bunch of other
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: weird kids, all of a sudden, it's like we all
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: bring stuff home, right, you know.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, during the summertime, you're out running around, you're just
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: with your family. You know, you're sleeping maybe a little better,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: less stress. And then once we get to that new
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: school year, rules are changing, We're waking up earlier or
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: more stressed out with the running around, the schedule.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: All of that. So that just really attacks our immune system.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Plus adding in all of those new viruses and bugs
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: that are going to weaken your immune system further. So
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: it's really common for kids to get sick and parents
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: because your kids are bringing it home getting sick within
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the first couple of weeks of school. But there are
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: things you can do to help prevent or at least
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: alleviate some of the major issues.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. What are some of the things
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you can do to avoid some of these back to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: school cooties.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Well, like we talked about last week, is you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: making sure that you're ready for the school year, getting
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: your nervous system check, go to the chiropractor, having your
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: schedule all figured out, you know, getting the kids ready
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: for that, doing the early morning wake ups ahead of time,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: you know, even doing maybe prepping the night before the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: day for school, having lunches and all that. Just making
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: sure that you're not scrambling and going crazy in the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: morning of the school day.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And then when it comes to your health and chiropractic
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in part of the mix here, just getting every thing
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: communicating in your body so that way you can kind
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of help fight off any of this stuff too.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Right, our nervous system controls our immune system. So when
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: our nervous system is functioning at its best, most optimal,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: our immune system is going to be functioning and working
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: much better, much faster as well. So if you do
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: get sick, because it's kind of inevitable sometimes, right, you're
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: able to fight it off faster because your immune system
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: is functioning better.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: But there's other things as well.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Making sure that you're getting plenty of sleep, Drinking lots
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: of fluids, you know, mostly water, right, we want to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: drink it like sixty four fluid ounces of water is
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: kind of the minimum kind of half your body weight
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: ounces is where we want to sit with that, you know,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: trying to eat a more balanced diet, you know, for
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: eating fast food. Make sure that we're eating salads as well.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: You know, sugar is a really big one. Trying to
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: lower you know, how much sugar that we're really eating.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Nice And I'm going to go back to the adjustment stuff,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: because in my mind I had this perfect little picture
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: of what that would be. So imagine, because you're trying
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to fight.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Off these bugs, right right, So.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Imagine if like your body, you've got all these soldiers
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: all over the body, and now you can't communicate because
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: something's pinched or something's blocked, or something's not working, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: they can't call in all the troops to help. But
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: if you get it all adjusted, you can call in
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the troops, and by doing that, you have so much
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: more uh everything kind of working together to fight this
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: stuff off. I don't know if that's even Am I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a weirdo?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: No?
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I think that was pretty good.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: It's you should have said to look at your face.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: That is not with the look at her face that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: she looked at me like you are such a weirdo.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: It's always like more's John going with this, and it's like, yeah, no,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I think you've learned quite a bit. You know.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: We can look at our body kind of like a.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Castle fortress, and the best way to keep the bugs
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and invaders out is to keep our castle fortress going strong.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: But see it's inevitable they will eventually get in and
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: they'll find a way in. So we want to make
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: sure those defenders are in tip top shape ready to
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: fight them off.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: And if we want to get everything communicating properly, one
• 3:48
