We are in our first official week of 2016, I wanted to take a moment and spell out for you a heath plan that will give guaranteed results, boundless amounts of energy and vitality, offer significant weight loss and muscle building as well as kicking the habit of popping pills for your health. I can promise you one thing - I have seen dramatic results with my own health and the thousands of patients whose lives have been transformed through Maximized Living and natural healing. May this be a year of blessings, abundance and health!
ELIMINATE ALL CARBONATED BEVERAGES
The following health conditions have been linked to the consumption of carbonated beverages: Obesity, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Kidney Failure, Liver Damage, Osteoporosis and Acid Reflux. Why? These drinks are carbonated using Carbon Dioxide (which lowers the pH) and also include a vary powerful acid ingredient (phosphoric acid). In addition, the sugar content is so high that you would naturally vomit the solution if the pH were not as low as it is (which is why they add phosphoric acid).
Its time to kick the habit. I promise you will see almost immediate results. You can begin this by switching to clean sparkling water. Yes it has the carbon dioxide but lacks the sugar and added phosphoric acid. Over time you can change to other fizzy drinks like kombucha or kevita. Eventually, as your bodies pH increases and your health changes you will find that flat water, green tea and even some coffee's are the best beverages on this planet!
INTERMITTENT FAST DAILY
Your body probably already has enough "fuel" on it to last much longer than the time between your current meals. Cutting one or two meals per day offers the fastest ability for your body to become a lean, mean, fat burning machine! Its best to restrict yourself to a 8 hour eating window with a 16 hour fasting window on a daily basis. When timed properly, this isn't as hard as it sounds. Simply sleep for the first 8, skip breakfast and replace it with water or green tea and eat for the 3rd set of 8 hours. Repeat daily and watch the guaranteed results.
GET ADJUSTED
Every organ in your body is connected to your nerve system (brain and spinal cord). A recent study demonstrated that between 77 and 80 TRILLION individual nerve fibers pass through the small hole in your skull and first bones in your neck as they travel from the brain to every square inch of your body. Adjustments to your spine, when done with the intent of opening restrictions in nerve flow (as opposed to just blocking pain) are the best and most essential for your optimum performance and health. If you have never been adjusted - make 2016 a year to have your spine de-stressed!
EAT MORE FAT
The most recent research, and even mainstream media, is now admitting their mistakes. Low fat is out, HIGH FAT IS IN! Make sure they are healthy fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats which you can get from plants and well fed animals. I recommend anywhere from 60-85% of your diet overall should be from healthy fat sources: coconut products and oil, avocado and its oil, grass fed butter, nuts and their oils and grass fed/wild caught animal fats. The days of shunning butter are over - its time to have it on a stick!
ELIMINATE ALL GRAINS
Known as the "white devil" grains are composed of wheat, rice, oats and corn. Grains contain an enormous amounts of inflammatory properties for the human body - with inflammation being linked to almost every disease known to mankind today - specifically brain disease and function. Dr. David Perlmutter, MD authors "Grain Brain" and says "disease starts in your daily bread!" Eliminating all grains is a massive step towards overall health and wellbeing.
ELEVATE YOUR VITAMIN D3
By now its no secret - Vitamin D3 boosts your immunity, reverses and prevents many cancers, diabetes and heart disease and has even been linked to balanced hormones and better sleep. Before you ask how much to take, remember: DON'T GUESS, TEST! An annual vitamin D3 test needs to be part of your health regimen; just tell your doctor you want your 25(OH)D or 25-hydroxyvitamin D tested. I suggest having a level of 80-100 ng/ml as that's the cancer fighting, disease reversing level.
Dosages:
80-100ng/ml | 5,000 IU daily to maintain
50-80 ng/ml | 10,000 IU daily for 90 days, then retest
<50 ng/ml | 15,000 IU daily for 90 days, then retest
CHANGE YOUR MEATS
This one will blow you health out of the water for 2016, and no I am not saying stop eating meats. I'm simply asking you to switch them to only Grass fed for red meats, wild caught for seafood and free range for poultry. Why? All conventional animals in the US eat grains, which makes them just as fat and sick as we are! So, to have your health turn around this year, start eating healthy animals - your health will love you for it!
WARNING: Watch out with poultry - just being vegetarian fed and/or cage free doesn't cut it. Corn/Rice/Soy/Wheat are vegetarian by definition (and inflammatory). Cage free still means fenced in. You want a chicken that's allowed to go get its own food and has no boundaries. They are NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND in grocery stores. You can get lucky and find a farm or grow your own or you can start to cut poultry all together and stick with grass fed red meats and wild caught fish.
MEDIATE/PRAY 10-15 MIN DAILY
Science has shown that meditation not only eliminates stress, but is the best for anxiety, worry, concern and depression. AND, OF COURSE, we don't need science to tell us prayer works. Its also 100% free and can be done anytime and anywhere (except while driving)
REPAIR YOUR GUT
It's been estimated that up to 90% of Americans suffer for one form of digestive/gut issues - the largest being "Leaky Gut." This doesn't mean you are leaking body fluids, but instead, leaking undigested proteins across the gut wall into your blood stream where they are seen as a foreign object (much like a virus, fungus or bacteria). While this doesn't sound too bad, its one of the #1 reasons for auto-immune conditions like arthritis, psoriasis, lupus, thyroid and the many other thousands of auto-immune diseases. The proteins that leak across are often from animal sources (the meats your are eating) and your body gets confused between the foods and your own tissues - so overtime, if not corrected, you can build an immune response against yourself and start attacking yourself!
Gut repair typically begins by calming down your intestines and changing your diet away from everything I have been talking about above, getting tested to see how "leaky" you are, and addressing the cause by replenishing the gut wall, mucosa and beneficial bacteria. This is one you may need professional help with because of the depth of causes - but I can say, speaking from experience, cleaning and healing your gut will clean and heal your health in no time (sometimes as quickly as 14 days!)
HELP OTHERS
One of the greatest things we can ever do is realize that life isn't just about meeting our needs, but about helping others. Giving back can be as easy as forwarding this email to a friend or family member or sharing your results with others as your health takes a turn for the better this year. Remember, most New Year resolutions do fail for one reason or another, to this year why not have a resolution to live a healthier live all together and teach others how you did it! It's about living a little bit differently, a little bit better, so that ultimately you’re happier and healthier for it.

Will Adjustments Make My Spine Too Lose?
You may have heard this concern voiced by those who don’t fully understand how chiropractic works. Some call them skeptics of chiropractic, the truth is they have never been educated on what chiropractic is.
Most spinal problems come in pairs. Usually there’s an area of the spine that is not moving adequately, accompanied by another area that compensates by moving too much.
This area can even be at opposite ends of the spine! They’re called compensation reactions.
Your body is constantly dealing with the force of gravity. When one area of your spine malfunctions, an equal and opposite reaction can appear elsewhere.
This is why patients are often surprised that we examine their upper back when their complaint is in their lower back.
Our goal is to avoid the compensations and focus on the primary nerve interference. The spinal joints that move too much are avoided so muscles and ligaments can stabilize and heal. When we add motion to stuck spinal joints, areas that are too loose can properly heal.
We move the bone, God does the HEALing, and miracles happen!
