If I’m not sick or in any pain then I must be well . . . right . . . .?!

Some define wellness as an absence of disease: if I am not sick then I must be well?

The answer . . . not necessarily! Even if you do not have any outward signs and symptoms of disease you may be heading down a path that will cause chronic disease of aging.

Modern medicine is very good at defining, describing and testing for chronic disease but defining, describing and testing for wellness has never been a priority. Instead of defining each separately, we can look at chronic disease and wellness as a continuum.

The stage in between wellness and chronic disease is subchronic disease. Here, you know you aren’t well but you are not quite sick enough to be considered truly ill either. It is where most middle aged adults drift. Is there a way to really know where you are on the continuum of wellness and chronic disease?

YES!!

At Advanced Wellness Chiropractic, I use advanced technology called The COREscore™ to measure how deeply stress and tension are impacting your overall health. The computerized program takes the results from the three tests and computes your individual COREscore™. Scores of 80 and above are indicative of a well neural integrated nervous system and reflect wellness. Scores of 59 and lower are indicative of a poorly neural integrated nervous system and reflect a more challenged state of health. Scores from 60 to 79 are considered transition and indicative of the subchronic disease state.

Where do you think you fall? You might be surprised . . . .

The real goal of wellness is not to subdue signs and symptoms of chronic disease with medication driving you back into a subchronic disease state but to move you all the way back to wellness. Instead of micromanage the chronic disease we should macromanage wellness and let the body take care of itself!

The best way to keep the body moving toward wellness and away from chronic disease is to accomplish three primary goals:

Keep the Central Nervous System free of tension and stress with regular chiropractic adjustments.
Decrease the level of silent (cellular) inflammation with the Zone Anti-inflammatory diet and pharmaceutical grade fish oils.
Actively engage in smart exercise which consists of regular cardiovascular activities as well strengthening and stretching key postural muscles.

Chronic stress and tension can damage anyone’s health. Where you fall the COREscore™ graph will represent where you fall on the continuum between wellness and chronic disease. The goal is wellness! Get your nervous system functioning consistently better, move your score closer to 100 and live a life you deserve!

Zone Anti-Inflammatory Diet Workshop

Are the foods you’re eating helping or harming your body?

Come find out more at the Zone Anti-inflammatory Diet workshops!

What would you do in the day if you had better health, decreased signs and symptoms of chronic disease, improved mental acuity and more energy? These are exactly the benefits the Zone Anti-Inflammatory Diet provides. Research has shown that within seven days of following the Zone Diet, you can start to see an improvement in your own health profile, productivity and, of course, changes on the bathroom scale . . . imagine what 30 days and a lifetime would do?

The foods we eat can either help the body or make you feel good or the foods we eat can harm the body and make you feel bad. Certain foods in certain combinations can be very stressful to the body. Your body will react to the stress of food like it would to any other stress. If the poor food choices are not changed, you increase the level of inflammation in the body as well as the stress response.

If levels of cellular inflammation were kept at a lower, healthier level, not only will you shed excess body fat but the following are proven and documented benefits of following The Zone Anti-Inflammatory Diet:

Better and improved health
Greater longevity
Decreased signs and symptoms of chronic disease
Improved emotional sate
Improved mental acuity
Improved physical performance

The stress and silent inflammation are the real problems in health today. So many of us are dangerously walking the line toward ill health and disease. Sadly, many of us know we aren’t well but we don’t know where to start to begin to change. By addressing the stress and the level of silent inflammation with Chiropractic and Anti-Inflammatory Diet, these two changes can set you in a new direction toward health. You will see changes in yourself both physical signs and symptoms. Chiropractic along with The Zone Anti-Inflammatory Diet will help you reach your potential for health and happiness.

Come join me every 2^nd Tuesday night of the month, starting at 5:00 pm for a two hour Zone Diet workshops where I will review the science behind the Zone, increased inflammation and most importantly, how to use the Zone Diet to put you on a path toward wellness. You will learn:

What is Inflammation
How can you tell if you’re inflamed
How food affects Inflammation
How to reduce Inflammation with Food
The importance key supplements to further reduce inflammation
How to customize the Zone Diet to your bodily needs

I have been following the Zone Diet, developed by Dr. Barry Sears, since 2011. In 2012, I became a Zone Health Coach to help people understand the ins and outs of the Zone Diet and how to implement the Zone Diet into everyday life. I have witnessed not only in myself but in others how the Zone Diet along with Chiropractic Care can really me you feel good.

Chiropractic Care Secrets

What controls and coordinates all your systems?

Your Central Nervous System controls and co-ordinates all systems, organs, tissues and cells of the body. It is through the Central Nervous System that we think, say, and do. The Central Nervous System is involved in everything we experience.

All healing and renewing processes are also coordinated by you through the Central Nervous System. In short, a proper functioning Nervous System organizes and heals your body.

Physical injury, toxic chemical exposure, nutritional deficiency, as well as emotional overload are all processed by your nerve system – these stresses may result in either a dis-ease or a pathology.

If a physical injury in a joint heals while the joint is out of place because of birth injury, a fall or some other trauma it begins to heal under mechanical stress. That poor joint undergoes a slowly increasing - usually permanent - deterioration. The end result is pain and spinal instability as the spinal bones move out of alignment more easily. These deteriorations and instability are seen on x-rays as:

· Mild, moderate or severe levels of spinal degeneration

· Retrolisthesis or Anterolisthesis greater than 2 mm (vertebrae moving backwards or forwards on one another)

When the spinal bones are misaligned, get stuck and irritate nerves, the end result is what chiropractor’s term, subluxation. Not all subluxations result in immediate symptoms that a person is aware of consciously. Chiropractors are trained to observe the signs of subluxations and increased system tension to restore better function before painful symptoms manifest.

Chiropractic adjustments, specifically Torque Release Technique adjustments, improve spinal function by reducing subluxations and system tension. Communication between the brain and the body is improved thereby allowing your body to repair to its best ability (according to the injury load that is present).

Chiropractic adjustments assist to organize, heal and regenerate your body. A body that is subluxation and tension free results in a better functioning Nervous System.
