  Time now for back to the basics in healthcare with balance life chiropractic. And
• 0:03
  I've got the biggest turkey of them all. I have doctor Harley. How
• 0:06
  you doing, Hey, John, I'm doing great. Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.
• 0:10
  Oh my gosh, I can't like it. Seems like it's snuck up so
• 0:12
  fast this year and you guys are doing a half day today. Yeah,
• 0:15
  it's traveling, so we get to able to get somewhere being like three in
• 0:20
  the morning, drive safe and have fun. And let's talk a little bit
• 0:24
  about that because there's probably more than one person listening right now that's also going
• 0:27
  to be like traveling, and they're going to be around family and they're going
• 0:30
  to be eating a whole lot of stuff. So this time of year,
• 0:32
  there's some things that we should be thinking about health wise, shouldn't we.
• 0:35
  Yeah, So let's talk turkey, right see, I love it all the
• 0:39
  puns. Yeah, So this time of year, Turkey kind of gets a
• 0:42
  bad rap, right, trip to Fan. Yeah, that's that darn trip
• 0:46
  to fan in the Turkey. The thing is, Turkey doesn't have any more
• 0:49
  trip to Fan in it than anything else that you're probably eating. Yeah,
• 0:53
  it gets blamed for everything, Yes, because you know, everyone's like,
• 0:56
  it's a trip to fans fall and falling asleep, or taking that my taxes
• 0:59
  were late three years ago. Turkey's fault. They get blamed for everything.
• 1:02
  Maybe not quite there at fault for that one, but so yes, the
• 1:04
  trip to fan does make you sleepy, but you're not eating enough of it
• 1:08
  that that's the real culprit. You know, Think about how much food are
• 1:12
  you eating when when you sit down at that Thanksgiving table, you've got all
• 1:17
  the fixings. You got a heaping pile of food, potatoes, cravy,
• 1:21
  solly, go back for seconds, even though your stomach's like hit of pie.
• 1:26
  There's always room for pie. See, I've been like marathon people that
• 1:29
  do marathons, you know how they don't just start out running a marathon.
• 1:32
  They start out running a little bit, and they get more and they get
• 1:34
  to the point where they're conditioned for it. Look at me, I am
• 1:37
  finally conditioned for tomorrow. I'm I'm I'm at my optimum fighting weight right now
• 1:44
  for Thanksgiving peak performance. Turkey, my stuffing. Everybody else all excited about
• 1:49
  that. They're like, oh boy, I'm afraid I'm going to gain upon
• 1:52
  I'm like, I've gained all those bounds. And that's the other thing too,
• 1:55
  is people are like, oh, this is going to ruin my waistline.
• 1:57
  It's one meal out of the entire year. Yes, we have a
• 2:00
  couple of them lined up in the next month or two. But you know,
• 2:04
  if you're really due diligent to it the rest of the year, the
• 2:07
  holidays aren't going to completely ruin everything. You know, go and work.
• 2:09
  Make sure we work out Saturday because you're still probably going a food come on
• 2:14
  Friday. So a little tip if you're going to the gym, in those
• 2:16
  little water bottles, you can put gravy in there too, and just squirt
• 2:20
  the gravy. It looks like you maybe that's not what you want. No,
• 2:23
  I can't imagine wanting to do that. I'm just teasy anyway. So
• 2:27
  really, yeah, the sleepiness really comes from the amount of food that we're
• 2:30
  eating, because our stomach's like, oh, we got to digest all this,
• 2:34
  so we put everything else in low power mode, kind of like when
• 2:36
  your phone's battery is almost dead, your low power mode shuts off all the
• 2:39
  other things. So yeah, if we go into like a sleep our body
• 2:43
  get to digest a little bit better. Nice. It's the same with like
• 2:46
  when we get the meat sweats. Oh yeah, it takes more work to
• 2:49
  digest that protein. So your body turns up the heat a little bit to
• 2:53
  help reduce you know, the work is going to take to break that down.
• 2:57
  So what would be some good advice if somebody doesn't want to have to
• 3:01
  be sleepy tomorrow, so just eat less? Yeah, I watch your portion
• 3:05
  sizes, you know, maybe take a little bit of everything and then decide.
• 3:07
  That's what I always do is I always take a little bit of everything
• 3:09
  and then I figure out what I like the most to go back for seconds
• 3:13
  for. I do that at the phase too. I try like a little
• 3:15
  dab of this, little dab of that, because you know, otherwise he
• 3:16
  gets definitely I didn't like that. I want to waste stomach space on something
• 3:20
  I don't like as much. So, you know, watching how much you're
• 3:23
  eating, you know, maybe pasting it out throughout the day. I don't
• 3:25
  know, that'd be kind of weird, Like eat a little bit here,
• 3:28
  a little bit there, a little bit there throughout the day. But turkey
• 3:30
  for breakfast, I mean that actually happens for a while afterwards so you know,
• 3:36
  you eat so much food Thursday and then Friday Saturday you're shopping it all
• 3:39
  off, so it evens out. See, and I'm not one of those
• 3:43
  people. I know there's people out there to do that, but you're not
• 3:45
  the five am. I'm the I'm the getaway driver. I drop Heidi and
• 3:49
  her mother right at the door, and then I sit in the car.
• 3:51
  They text me and let me know they're ready, and I'm up and go.
• 3:53
  I am the I'm the son in law of the year for that.
• 3:55
  So gotcha. So if somebody would like to get some advice from you about
• 4:00
  chiropractic, whether it's you know, we talk turkey today, but you know
• 4:03
  that's probably not what they're gonna be asking about. If they'd like to get
• 4:06
  themselves in a little better shape, because we've got these things called resolutions coming
• 4:11
  soon, and that's a big resolution people wanting to feel better. So if
• 4:15
  they'd like to start that ahead of time, how do they get a hold
• 4:16
  of It's not a bit. This is a great time you have to really
• 4:18
  start thinking about your health. One deductibles are paid up. You know,
• 4:21
  hsas will need to be used up unless they roll over. Not everyone's do
• 4:26
  that. If you didn't know chiropractic, you can use your hsas for that.
• 4:30
  So this is a really great time of the year to get started with
• 4:31
  a chiropractor because, especially if your initial upfront with new exams and stuff like,
• 4:35
  that's usual a little more spending. So that's a good time to use
• 4:38
  that insurance to help offset that. So how do I get this started?
• 4:42
