  Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with Balanced Life Chiropractic, and
• 0:03
  we have doctor Harley joining us. Hey doing, doctor Harley, Hey John,
• 0:06
  I'm doing great. You know, another beautiful day in the neighborhood.
• 0:10
  It's kind of weird, like we had nice, amazing spring like weather that
• 0:14
  we had like little snowflakes blown around, and then it's been nice and so
• 0:17
  this is that time of year we don't not quite well that the forecast coming
• 0:20
  up. I don't want to talk about it, so it doesn't exist.
• 0:24
  If I just pretend like it's never gonna happen, it's not gonna happen.
• 0:27
  So eventually it will get nice out. But this time of year, we
• 0:30
  also just recently changed our clocks, and there's a lot of people that are
• 0:33
  having a little issue trying to get used to the new schedule and getting caught
• 0:37
  up on sleep. So let's chat about sleep. Yeah, we're going to
• 0:39
  continue it. Last week we talked a lot about how stress can affect our
• 0:43
  sleep, you know, different times of the year, stuff like that.
• 0:46
  So let's talk a little bit more about you know, you're laying in it,
• 0:49
  maybe you're not comfortable, maybe there's a problem with your mattress or your
• 0:53
  pillow. You know, I get asked that a lot. What's the best
• 0:55
  pillow, what's the best mattress. Yeah, there's no single good answer for
• 0:59
  that. It's all different based on who the person is. I'm assuming,
• 1:02
  right, you know, there's some things to look for. You know,
• 1:04
  you definitely want something that's a little bit more firm. You know, you
• 1:08
  don't want everyone's like I want the cloud fluffy pillow top. But you're not
• 1:12
  doing any good things for your spine with those because the softer that bed is,
• 1:17
  the more you're going to sink into it. And we want to maintain
• 1:19
  those nice curves that we have on our spine swinter neck. We should have
• 1:23
  like a sea shaped curve or banana shape in our upper back. It should
• 1:26
  curve the opposite direction, and then when we get down to the lumbar spy
• 1:30
  in the low back, we should have that sea shape banana shaped curve again.
• 1:33
  So I think when you're laying on your back, if you have a
• 1:34
  really soft cloud type bed, that lumbar curve is going to start to flatten
• 1:41
  out. And if you're laying like that all night and then suddenly you get
• 1:44
  up in the morning, everything that's been all relaxed and out of you know,
• 1:48
  proper curve. As soon as you sit up move around, it's like,
• 1:51
  oh, oh that hurts. Why is my back hurt? I thought
• 1:53
  this bed's comfortable. Why am I hurting? Because it's been sunk into the
• 1:57
  bed all night? Gotcha? And the same can happen if you're laying on
• 2:00
  your side too. If you don't have that proper support on your side,
• 2:04
  you're just going to sink into the bed there as well. So again when
• 2:07
  you get up in the morning, he's like, oh, why does this
• 2:07
  side hurt so much compared to the other side. I mean, if you're
• 2:12
  doing both sides, and you know, maybe both sides will hurt, but
• 2:15
  still like you're sinking into your mattress versus a firmer bed is going to help
• 2:17
  support those curves. You know, the heavier parts of you are going to
• 2:21
  sink into the mattress, but where those curves are, the mattress is going
• 2:23
  to come up and support them, so you're not sinking into it as much.
• 2:28
  Nice. Now that's going to be uncomfortable if you're not used to that.
• 2:30
  You're like, oh, this bed's hard. That's why they say it's
• 2:34
  like a ninety day. They want you to try it out. It's going
• 2:37
  to break in a little bit, you'll get used to it. But I
• 2:39
  break my beds in really good. I'm not a little guy. So but
• 2:46
  that that is probably another thing when you're looking at beds. Every person is
• 2:50
  made differently, so that's all going to make a difference too, right.
• 2:53
  I like some of the companies that they can change out different layers, So
• 2:57
  I think Juna is one of those genius system here in two falls. Beds
• 3:01
  by Design will do that as well. So like something that can like customize
• 3:05
  your bed to you based on different fill levels. I like the idea of
• 3:07
  that we're being able to take a layer out that's wearing out and putting a
• 3:10
  new one in. Yeah, those are some really cool options that they have
• 3:14
  nowadays. Could just sleep on a bean bag? Would that work? Maybe
• 3:17
  if you had it filled really full with really good foam? How about a
• 3:22
  hammock? Probably not. I don't know. I've never slept in one.
• 3:27
  Late in one they did on Gilligan's Island for a long time, so I
• 3:29
  don't think they have many options at that point. Yeah, if somebody listening
• 3:32
  it being serious now if somebody listening would like to get a little more information
• 3:37
  and maybe chat with you, I think chiropractic is a good way. Again,
• 3:40
  if they're out of adjustment, no matter what the bed is, it's
• 3:44
  just going to get out of whack anyway. So if they'd like to add
• 3:46
  chiropractic to their health care plan, what is the best way for them to
• 3:50
  connect with your you. Maybe you just got a new bed, or you've
• 3:53
  had this bed for ahill and you're still having a lot of pain. You're
• 3:54
  not comfortable if things are out of alignment in your body. You know you're
• 3:58
