5 Ways Exercise Increases your Immune System Response

Reading Time: 11 minutes Hello again! So far in Chapter 4 we have postulated that movement affects all 12 systems of the human body. Here in chapter 4.3 we are establishing evidence on how movement can improve your immune system. The seed or the soil? The human immune system is quite complex. Most scientists would agree that there is more that we don’t know about the human body than we do know. Our current approach in “treating” the immune system is a perfect example of our arrogant ignorance.

Arthritis Reversal – 5 Ways Movement Impacts Arthritis

Reading Time: 12 minutes Stiffness leads to arthritis Chapter 4.2 – Stiffness leads to arthritis – Movement and its effect on your joints. That’s right I said it! Stiffness leads to arthritis. But, that doesn’t really mean what you think it means. Let me explain. Almost every day a new patient will inform me that they have arthritis or that arthritis runs in their family. The term arthritis is confusing. Arthritis literally translates to joint inflammation. And while I do think that most people today are walking around with high levels of inflammation, I don’t think that’s what they are referring to. Arthritis is Read more…

Nevertheless, here I am gathering a crap ton of research so I can support my ideas of natural living for my audience. After reading some of these studies produced, I keep thinking – Duh!

7 ADHD Friendly Habits to Improve Focus

Reading Time: 13 minutes What is the cause of ADHD or ADD The truth is, no one has a definitively objective answer. What we do know is that these behaviors tend to show some genetic predispositions. We do know that there can be triggers that increase the likelihood of showing ADHD symptoms (epigenetic).

Own your Reality

Reading Time: 13 minutes Own your Reality Recently I attended a funeral for my Great Uncle who passed at the ripe old age of 92. The celebration of life started with a eulogy from his youngest son which outlined a theme in his life. One that reflected a life of generosity, family, mentorship, love, fun, and respect.

Write Your Reality

Reading Time: 10 minutes What’s your story? If you paused your life today to write your autobiography, what would your story say about the person you were?
