Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Time out for back to the basics and healthcare with
- 0:02Speaker 1: balanced life chiropractic, and we have doctor Harley joining I
- 0:04Speaker 1: say doing doctor Harley, Hey.
- 0:06Speaker 2: John, I'm doing fantastic. I hope everyone is surviving the
- 0:09Speaker 2: first after the first week of school.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Yeah, and this time of year is like cold and
- 0:13Speaker 1: flu season and even COVID season. It's where people. I
- 0:17Speaker 1: suppose part of that is with all the kids getting
- 0:19Speaker 1: back together again. That's probably part of it, isn't.
- 0:21Speaker 2: It that the weather change. You know, we've spent this
- 0:23Speaker 2: whole summer running around not maybe taking care of our
- 0:25Speaker 2: health is great, and then we start get into the
- 0:27Speaker 2: colder weather. Yeah, it's a lot easier to get sick
- 0:30Speaker 2: as we come into the fall and even winter. So
- 0:33Speaker 2: you know, now is a good time to be thinking about, Okay,
- 0:35Speaker 2: what should I be doing to make sure that me
- 0:37Speaker 2: and my family stay healthy through the rest of the
- 0:40Speaker 2: cold and flu season.
- 0:42Speaker 1: And chiropractic absolutely should be a part of that plan,
- 0:45Speaker 1: shouldn't it.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Yeah, we've talked about this a few times, how chiropractic
- 0:49Speaker 2: can actually help boost your immune system. Well, let's start
- 0:52Speaker 2: with what controls your immune system?
- 0:54Speaker 1: Are you asking me? I'm asking you, Well, your brain.
- 0:57Speaker 2: I hope you're right, right, I think, yeah, you're nery
- 1:00Speaker 2: is like the master controllers. So if our nervous system
- 1:02Speaker 2: is kind of on the fritz and having some problems,
- 1:05Speaker 2: it's going to affect our immune system, and our immune
- 1:06Speaker 2: system might not be as strong and readily available to
- 1:09Speaker 2: help defend us from those germs and bugs that all
- 1:12Speaker 2: our kiddos seem to bring home this time of year.
- 1:15Speaker 2: So chiropractic could actually help boost some of the antibodies
- 1:19Speaker 2: that our body produces to help fight off those bugs.
- 1:22Speaker 2: There's some studies that have shown that being adjusted helps
- 1:25Speaker 2: boost those antibodies in our body by like up to
- 1:27Speaker 2: like one hundred percent, like double the amount of what
- 1:29Speaker 2: we normally have, and it can last for like two
- 1:31Speaker 2: weeks after an adjustment. So it just helps boost your
- 1:34Speaker 2: immune system, making it healthier, stronger. So when you do
- 1:37Speaker 2: get exposed to those bugs and viruses, either you don't
- 1:40Speaker 2: get sick, or you don't get sick as long, or
- 1:42Speaker 2: you can even recover from being sick a lot faster.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Absolutely, I've noticed that in my life. My wife and
- 1:47Speaker 1: I are chiropractic customers. We go to a place called
- 1:50Speaker 1: Balance Life Chiropractical I ever heard of them. Yeah, it's
- 1:52Speaker 1: a great place. I recommend them. But I've noticed that,
- 1:55Speaker 1: you know, there are times before we had chiropractic as
- 1:58Speaker 1: part of our life where we'd get sick and it
- 2:00Speaker 1: seemed like we'd be sick for a long long time.
- 2:03Speaker 1: And now if we do get sick, it's like we're
- 2:05Speaker 1: sick for a day, maybe two days, if even, and
- 2:08Speaker 1: then kind of just rolling again. So I think that
- 2:10Speaker 1: it definitely makes a big difference. It feels that way,
- 2:13Speaker 1: at least for me.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great. I mean that's a happy side effect
- 2:16Speaker 2: of having a well functioning nervous system.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And I know we've talked about you know,
- 2:21Speaker 1: when somebody's back is out of adjustment, it could be
- 2:25Speaker 1: pinching a nerve and that's like kinking a hose, you know.
- 2:27Speaker 1: So if you think about your watering your lawn, but
- 2:29Speaker 1: somebody parks their truck on top of the hose, all
- 2:32Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's still a little bit of water
- 2:33Speaker 1: dripping out, but there's not much Well, that seem kind
- 2:35Speaker 1: of thing could happen. If you need an adjustment and
- 2:37Speaker 1: there's something that's blocking that connection, it can cause a
- 2:41Speaker 1: major issue.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Yeah, you have learned some things in our time. Yeah,
- 2:45Speaker 2: and it doesn't even have to be like a truck
- 2:47Speaker 2: size issue. There's a little pebble being laid on that
- 2:50Speaker 2: water hose and it's reducing the flow, Well, that's still
- 2:53Speaker 2: going to affect you know, how much water's coming out
- 2:55Speaker 2: the end.
- 2:56Speaker 1: So even like our nervous.
- 2:57Speaker 2: System, if we're like, well, I don't have all these
- 2:59Speaker 2: pains and aches, and you know, how do I know
- 3:01Speaker 2: that I have these problems? Even slight shifts in our
- 3:03Speaker 2: skeleton can put pressure. That says, it's like a dimes
- 3:06Speaker 2: amount of pressure. Its all takes to start irritating the nerves.
- 3:09Speaker 2: So absolutely, that's a very light amount it is.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Indeed, if somebody listening is going you know what, I
- 3:13Speaker 1: have some issues that maybe chiropractic could be a solution
- 3:16Speaker 1: for me. What is the best way for them to
