- 0:00Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with doctor Harley. How are
- 0:02you doing, Doctor Harley? Hey John, I'm having a great week.
- 0:05The sun is shining. It's I got I got a little sun this weekend.
- 0:08Did you get a little sun? I did? Yeah, I was
- 0:10out at rise Fest all weekend. Soll sitting outside all weekend. You did
- 0:13a better job taking care of yourself. I'm a little sunburned in some places.
- 0:16I did wear some sunscreens. See, I always forget to do that.
- 0:19But we should talk about wellness today because this time of year, people
- 0:23are busy, they're out doing stuff. That we talked about hydration last week.
- 0:26If you missed that, I encourage you to go back and listen to
- 0:28the podcast because that's important. But just overall wellness, this is a time
- 0:32of year that we need to keep that stuff in mind because when you're running
- 0:34and you're out doing stuff and you're not getting as much rest your your whole
- 0:38system can wear down pretty quick. Right. You know, just because it's
- 0:41summer vacation doesn't mean it's time to take a vacation from your health either.
- 0:45You know, our spine never takes a vacation. It's always got your back,
- 0:49I love it, right, So it's important to make sure that you're
- 0:53going to your chiropractic appointments, you know, stretching, exercising, getting as
- 0:57much sleep as you can. You know, we always go on vacation and
- 0:59you get worse sleep on vacation because you're up at sunrise, staying up late,
- 1:03so sleeping in a tent or sleeping in a camper, you know,
- 1:06places that are not your regular accommodations. Right, So you have a lot
- 1:08of fun this summer, but also make sure that you're doing the self care
- 1:12that you were doing before and keeping with it so then you don't get sick
- 1:15throughout your summer fun activities or if you have an injury or something, you're
- 1:19not going to be completely stopped and not be able to do those things.
- 1:23So chiropractic is a great way to manage your health and your stressed throughout the
- 1:27summer, you know, So make sure you're taking time to get in and
- 1:30get adjusted so that your nervous system can stay healthy, your spine's moving like
- 1:34it's supposed to, and you're not going to have those aches and pains and
- 1:38much and this time here, whether you're out having fun on the weekends and
- 1:42overdoing it there, or if you're not out having fun because you're busy with
- 1:45projects, you're overdoing it at home getting all these projects. Then either way,
- 1:49you want to make sure that your brain is connecting with the rest of
- 1:51your body the correct way. So it's all good, right, And I
- 1:53always think of gardening it. Gardening is a really good example of that.
- 1:56You know, you planted this beautiful garden. You're expecting these nice vegetables to
- 2:00start growing, and you know what else is growing the weeds. Oh so
- 2:05you got two options. Right when those weeds start growing, you can just
- 2:07let them go. You're like, I'll deal with them later. Well,
- 2:10then they're gonna get really big, their roots are a little bit deeper,
- 2:14it's a lot harder, and it's a lot more work to weed your garden
- 2:16at that point. Versus if you do a little bit every day when they're
- 2:21little, it's gonna be so much more manageable. You're not gonna have to
- 2:24put as much work into it. Yes, you're doing a little bit at
- 2:27a time, but it's easier in the long run. That's how health really
- 2:30is too. You can look at it like gardening. If we don't do
- 2:34anything with our health for a long time. When it suddenly starts having problems
- 2:38or going downhill, it's a big thing, and it's really hard to take
- 2:40care of. It's a lot more work, it's a lot more expensive versus
- 2:44if you're putting in a little bit of work now, you know you're gonna
- 2:47maintain your health a lot longer and you know, stay healthier. And chiropractice
- 2:53is a great way to help make sure that you're maintaining your health, doing
- 2:54a little bit of a work every week, getting adjusted, stretching, all
- 3:00those things. You're putting in good little healthy habits to have a better healthier
- 3:04body in the long run. If somebody listening is going, hey, you
- 3:07got my attention, I should probably be doing this. What is the best
- 3:08way for them to connect with you? Doctor Harley at Balance Life Chiropractic.
- 3:13Yeah, And I was get the questure like when should I start? When
- 3:15should I go to chiropractor? It's always good to start now, you know,
- 3:17don't wait if you're feeling like, oh I should start doing this,
- 3:20or even being more preventable. This time to start was like two months ago,
- 3:23two years ago. But if you missed that, then now is the
- 3:25second best time. There's never a bad time to start, even if you're
- 3:29not having problems. Your wellness maintenance is a big part of chiropractic as well.
