- 0:00Speaker 1: Time out for back to the basics and healthcare with
- 0:02Speaker 1: Balanced Life Chiropractica. We have doctor Harley with us, Hey
- 0:04Speaker 1: doing doctor.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Harley, Hey John, I'm doing great and start of another
- 0:08Speaker 2: good week.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Yeah, we're into a whole new month. It's February. How
- 0:12Speaker 1: in the world is it February.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Well, it helps when we haven't had a lot of
- 0:15Speaker 2: snow in the January went by really fast.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Do we miss your birthdays?
- 0:19Speaker 2: Your birthday in January? Yeah, mine was in January.
- 0:21Speaker 1: And your husband's too, right, yep, on the same day.
- 0:23Speaker 2: No, I'm three days older than him.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Three whole days older. But we're going to talk a
- 0:27Speaker 1: little bit right now about growing old gracefully. You guys
- 0:29Speaker 1: got a long ways to go before you're old. When
- 0:31Speaker 1: you start getting to be my age and a little older,
- 0:33Speaker 1: then that's when the growing old gracefully I think kicks in.
- 0:36Speaker 1: And there's some things that we can do no matter
- 0:38Speaker 1: what age you are, to kind of start planning for that, aren't.
- 0:40Speaker 2: There, right? And I get told that a lot by
- 0:43Speaker 2: patients or we're out doing things in the community trying
- 0:46Speaker 2: to new help more people. You get a lot of
- 0:48Speaker 2: the older population like, oh, I'm just old. You know,
- 0:51Speaker 2: there's not really much to do about it. All My
- 0:53Speaker 2: pains just do to old age, which to some extent
- 0:57Speaker 2: is correct. But age is just a number. As people
- 1:00Speaker 2: like to say, I always look at it is. If
- 1:04Speaker 2: age was the problem, everything would hurt, you know. We
- 1:08Speaker 2: always talk about people talk to people like, oh, my
- 1:10Speaker 2: hip's really bad on this side, but this one's fine.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Like I got a bad knee.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Is that hip newer than that one?
- 1:14Speaker 2: Or what's going on? Well, unless it had it replaced,
- 1:17Speaker 2: which yeah, then I suppose it would be newer. But yeah,
- 1:19Speaker 2: everything in our body age is the same. It's the
- 1:21Speaker 2: same age. It's just a matter of wear and tear.
- 1:25Speaker 2: You know. Think about the things that you were doing
- 1:26Speaker 2: when you were younger, in your teens and twenties. That's
- 1:30Speaker 2: probably gonna start biting you in the butt as you
- 1:31Speaker 2: get older because your body had gotten more worn down
- 1:34Speaker 2: or worked harder at those stages, because you were doing
- 1:37Speaker 2: things maybe you shouldn't have been doing, and the wear
- 1:40Speaker 2: and tear.
- 1:41Speaker 1: I saw a photo. I thought this was kind of cool.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Somebody had taken a farm truck into town and they
- 1:46Speaker 1: were parked right next to a truck the same age,
- 1:48Speaker 1: the same color, the same everything. These trucks are the
- 1:51Speaker 1: same age, but the one is all beat up. It's
- 1:53Speaker 1: a farm truck. It gets used on the farm. The
- 1:55Speaker 1: other one was like a show truck, and it was
- 1:57Speaker 1: just you look at the two and you're like, there's
- 1:59Speaker 1: a description or there's like a visual right there of
- 2:02Speaker 1: the way and tear because that one gets used differently
- 2:04Speaker 1: than this one, and it's the same thing like in
- 2:07Speaker 1: our real lives and our bodies in our health world,
- 2:10Speaker 1: Like some people are taking care of their vehicle like
- 2:12Speaker 1: it's going to a car show, and some are using
- 2:14Speaker 1: it like it's a work truck, and there's gonna be
- 2:16Speaker 1: a big difference.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a really good visual. I appreciate that.
- 2:21Speaker 1: If I had the photo, I would show it on
- 2:22Speaker 1: the radio.
- 2:23Speaker 2: That doesn't help, hevin, Yeah, I mean you usually don't
- 2:25Speaker 2: see things on the.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Redow, no, but I do my best. But it was
- 2:28Speaker 1: a really cool visual to see two vehicles that were
- 2:30Speaker 1: literally the exact same making model, same color even, and
- 2:33Speaker 1: this one was all beat up because it was a
- 2:35Speaker 1: farm truck, and that one looked like it was on
- 2:36Speaker 1: its way to a car show.
- 2:38Speaker 2: I love that. And that beat up farm truck could
- 2:41Speaker 2: get back to looking pretty nice if the owner of
- 2:44Speaker 2: that truck takes care of it, puts a little bit
- 2:46Speaker 2: of work into it. So that could be something to think.
- 2:48Speaker 2: You think about yourself right now, You're like, yeah, you're right,
- 2:51Speaker 2: I have taken a couple of beatings and bruises, I've
- 2:53Speaker 2: been sick a lot, or I've had a lot of
- 2:55Speaker 2: stress at work. Well what are you doing now to
- 2:59Speaker 2: you know, get the next twenty thirty years so you don't,
- 3:03Speaker 2: you know, start getting worse and worse. So unfortunately, our
- 3:04Speaker 2: problems don't get better as we get older, they start
- 3:07Speaker 2: to get worse. Unfortunately.
- 3:09Speaker 1: If somebody listening is going, I'm ready to start taking
- 3:11Speaker 1: care of this one and only body that I'm ever
- 3:13Speaker 1: going to have, I'm going to start taking care of
- 3:15Speaker 1: it the way I should take care of it. And
- 3:16Speaker 1: chiropractic is maybe something I'd like to consider. How do
- 3:19Speaker 1: they connect with you to maybe take that first step?
- 3:21Speaker 2: You know, chiropractic is a really good first step forward
- 3:24Speaker 2: thinking about taking care of your body and your joints.
- 3:27Speaker 2: You know, if things aren't moving very well and they're stuck,
- 3:30Speaker 2: well they're not just going to get unstuck, you know,
- 3:32Speaker 2: they need that professional help to get them put back
- 3:34Speaker 2: into their proper alignment, and that's where Chiropractic steps in.
