- 0:00Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics and healthcare with
- 0:02Speaker 1: Balanced Life Chiropractic. I have doctor Harley with me. Hello,
- 0:04Speaker 1: doctor Harley, Hey John, excited to chat with you. And
- 0:08Speaker 1: I know like six people who are sick right now,
- 0:10Speaker 1: and I've talked to other people like, oh yeah, a
- 0:11Speaker 1: bunch of people sick. So there's something going around. And
- 0:14Speaker 1: this time of year, there's always something going around, isn't there.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Right. We always call it cold and flu season, but
- 0:21Speaker 2: the illness really doesn't have a season. It's not like
- 0:23Speaker 2: the weather, you know.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I know one of those people, I think they were
- 0:26Speaker 1: ill from drinking too much, but the rest of them,
- 0:28Speaker 1: I think it's something.
- 0:29Speaker 2: I mean, I always think about this time of year.
- 0:32Speaker 2: It's just a huge attack on our immune system, you know.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Starting in even October, we have Halloween, all the candy
- 0:39Speaker 2: and sweets that come with Halloween. Then we have Thanksgiving
- 0:42Speaker 2: where we're over indulging in a lot of heavy, rich,
- 0:45Speaker 2: fatty food, lots of sugar, alcohol, you name it. And
- 0:49Speaker 2: then we move into Christmas and that whole season is
- 0:51Speaker 2: just all the sweets and treats.
- 0:52Speaker 1: And sugar and spice and everything nice, right.
- 0:54Speaker 2: All the things. And then we have New year's we're again,
- 0:57Speaker 2: we're staying up later, drinking more than we're used to.
- 1:00Speaker 1: And I think like Christmas parties are kind of wrapping
- 1:02Speaker 1: up now, but there I had one just this last weekend,
- 1:04Speaker 1: so I think that there's yeah, a lot of stuff
- 1:06Speaker 1: to get out and do. And then it's also a
- 1:08Speaker 1: time of the year where we see less sun and
- 1:10Speaker 1: with less sunlight, we get less vitamin D and that
- 1:12Speaker 1: makes a difference.
- 1:13Speaker 2: We're less active, we're staying inside longer. Although the weather's
- 1:16Speaker 2: been really nice. Yeah it's weird for January.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Let's not jinx that it has been beautiful.
- 1:21Speaker 2: So get outside, you know, get a little bit of
- 1:23Speaker 2: that short term sun that we get, you know, boost
- 1:25Speaker 2: those vitamin D levels.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Yeah, we do have sun for like an hour and
- 1:28Speaker 1: a half, so let's take advantage of that, right, maybe.
- 1:30Speaker 2: The time you get done with work and then you're like,
- 1:32Speaker 2: there's the sun, cool, I'm going inside. Yeah, I mean,
- 1:35Speaker 2: it's just it's really tough on our bodies. It's as
- 1:37Speaker 2: stressful time of the year. It's just kind of go go, go, go,
- 1:39Speaker 2: go go go, And then when it's all said and done,
- 1:41Speaker 2: your body's like, hey, I know, you've been really busy
- 1:45Speaker 2: and you've been kind of neglecting us. So now it's
- 1:48Speaker 2: time for you to rest. And I'm gonna make you
- 1:50Speaker 2: rest making because you're gonna get stick right now.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Yeah, And if somebody would like to avoid that, there's
- 1:55Speaker 1: probably some things you can do to avoid it, but
- 1:56Speaker 1: that would be, you know, not doing all those fun
- 1:58Speaker 1: things you want to do. But are there things that
- 2:01Speaker 1: you can do if you go, hey, I know I
- 2:02Speaker 1: have this thing happening. I have this thing happening. Are
- 2:04Speaker 1: things that you can do to kind of counterbalance that
- 2:06Speaker 1: at all?
- 2:06Speaker 2: I mean biggest things really, make sure you're getting good
- 2:08Speaker 2: quality sleep. Don't stay up too late, don't be scrolling
- 2:11Speaker 2: on your phone in bed for hours and then go
- 2:13Speaker 2: to sleep and then wonder why you wake up in
- 2:15Speaker 2: the morning and you're exhausted. You know. Trying to get
- 2:18Speaker 2: you know, eight hours is kind of like the goal, right,
- 2:21Speaker 2: you know, trying to get close to that, trying to
- 2:23Speaker 2: get more sleep, drinking plenty of water. You know, we
- 2:26Speaker 2: talk about that a lot. Make sixty four ounces is
- 2:29Speaker 2: like the minimal recommendation, so you know, trying to at
- 2:32Speaker 2: least hit sixty four fluid ounces, but actually like half
- 2:35Speaker 2: your body weight and ounces of water is actually more ideal.
- 2:39Speaker 2: I know that's a lot. Probably if you're thinking like, wow,
- 2:41Speaker 2: I wait a lot, and that's a lot of wine.
- 2:42Speaker 1: I got to drink like nine gallons of water.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Maybe not quite that much, it just feels like that much, right,
- 2:47Speaker 2: So you're doing things like that that are going to
- 2:49Speaker 2: be good for you, get you know, taking some time
- 2:51Speaker 2: to have some quiet time, some me time, relaxing time
- 2:55Speaker 2: in the busy, hustle and bustle life.
- 2:58Speaker 1: So if somebody listening is going, you know, I need
- 3:00Speaker 1: I need to make some changes, and I'm going to
- 3:01Speaker 1: make twenty twenty six the year of me. I'm going
- 3:03Speaker 1: to focus on me. What would be a good first
- 3:06Speaker 1: step for them to put chiropractic in their life through
- 3:08Speaker 1: balanced life? Chiropractic is it?
- 3:10Speaker 2: I mean, besides getting sleep and drinking more water, getting
- 3:12Speaker 2: started with a chiropractor would be a huge good step
- 3:14Speaker 2: to getting your body, you know, recovered from all that
- 3:17Speaker 2: and ready for your twenty twenty six goals.
