All you have to do is look at the current levels of depression and obesity in both kids and adults, the epidemic levels of lifestyle-induced diseases, the increase in learning disorders, the rise in immunity related conditions like allergies, and the erosion of the family unit and it becomes increasingly evident that the way we take care of ourselves and interact with each other is massively incongruent with what it takes to create health, peace of mind, and fully functional bodies.
THE MIND: We are born to nurture and develop imagination, concentration, adaptability, and planning. All of life and fulfillment require creativity, strategy, a sense of humor, flexibility, and focus. These things are developed through adventure, investigation, crafts, art, reading, journaling, social interaction, physical activity, problem solving, and all else that make up real life experiences. There is one thing that all of these basic necessities of bodily function and development have in common: NONE OF THEM OCCUR WITH A SEDNETARY, UNDER-STIMULATED, SUBLUXATED LIFESTYLE.
THE BODY: As with the mind, we’ve poisoned the body. If you think of the food industry all that can pop into your head are commercial after commercial selling some sort of blue, green, or purple sugared cereal, some kind of artificial, easy to use, quick to make food item endorsed by a cartoon character or teen idle, and last but not least, the latest gimmick to drive you to McDonalds, Burger King,Rite Aid, Walgreens, etc. Organs and blood streams nurtured and developed with junk food and medications DO NOT create the kind of foundation that will allow you to experience good health and longevity throughout life.
THE PROBLEM: As pain, illness, learning disorders, and even depression begin to riddle people everywhere, rather than looking at brain development, nerve function, nutrition, and lack of movement as the culprit and doing what we can to begin producing health and well being, people are turning to more and more medications. Should medication be a way of life? What does the future hold for us when more and more people are overweight, out of shape, and taking medications? What kind of society are we creating? Are we creating one that will thrive and live Maximized Life?
THE SOLUTION: This is a call to begin looking at the way we now live our lives. To look at the way we eat, breathe, sleep, run, and how we feel about ourselves. Parents and children need to be educated on how to live a healthy lifestyle and develop the capacity to make good choices. At Maximized Health we will help you change your family culture and recognize where the culture around you isn’t working so you can avoid or help to change it with us. Maximized Health Chiropractic is here to do just that, maximize a person’s ability to thrive in life.
At Maximized Health Chiropractic, we’re completely committed to every individual we meet, especially children. Our books, programs, and workshops are all there to equip people to maximize their lives, and the lives of their children. We now have a program for school systems and will have our Maximized Health Kids and Youth programs for churches out by the end of ’06. Additionally, we are going to great lengths to reach ever deeper into our community’s resources in an effort to educate individuals, parents, and children about the principles of living a Maximized Life.
THE DIFFERENCE YOU CAN MAKE: Most people you know, live with, work with, play with, see on the street… are lost and confused when it comes to how they can better their lives and make better decisions with regard to their body. So many people are unhappy and unhealthy. So many people will know sickness and disease in their lifetime, most of which could have been avoided. So many people don’t know where to go, who to trust, whom to turn to for advice about health and well-being of mind and body. You know these people. You can make a difference in their life. You can make a difference in the way your community grows and develops. But how and when will you act? Who will you tell about the principles of Maximized Health and the benefit of living a Maximized Life? Who will you bring with you into a future of abundance in health, joy and happiness? Will it be your family, your friends, your coworkers, the members of your church… who will you help? Whose life will forever be changed because you helped them find Maximized Health?
We are here to help! If you can think of any way in which we could influence more people, please let us know. We will always be asking you for help. We need your help in this mission of influencing lives and making a difference!
Your Maximized Health Mentor,
